Oh I think I found it, you have to choose condensed? You don't get to see a preview of the post that way, unfortunate. -
2024 MyGolfSpy Forum Updates and Changes
yungkory replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Staff Announcements
Don't know if this is the best place to ask, but I tried searching and couldn't find anything... Is there a way to revert the "recent content" view to not have every reply shown for threads, and only the most recent one? Used to be the case before. I love that these guys want to say good morning to each other but it floods the hell out of my feed -
Admittedly, I don't watch much CFB, but Kiper seems high on Terrion and the Lions needed help in the secondary like I need help on the golf course (a lot). So I guess I'm happy. Hopefully get some pass rushers in the upcoming rounds.

Forum Member Reviews: Callaway Whitebox Testing
yungkory replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Forum Testing Reviews
I guess the Chrome Tour X is pretty good around Augusta or maybe it's just Xander? Or maybe it's Maybelline. Played a round at an Executive course today since I got rained out yesterday AND last Friday. Needed some work with my irons and wedges and being a range rat isn't my thing. Figured I would keep playing the Chrome Tour since I have a whole sleeve left and the ball performed really great, yet again. I should probably get a portable LM to check the spin numbers (if portable LMs are good at measuring spin) because as the lower-spinning option from the CTx, it sure does get in the air. At my last fitting, my fitter said I wasn't hitting the ball as high because of spin, so we built my irons to offer me more spin via more loft and a mid launch/spin profile shaft. I was hitting ProV1s so maybe I don't need as much long/midgame spin in a ball as I thought. -

Having first kid. How to keep my golf game going?
yungkory replied to Chubbs1991's topic in Breaking News and Debate
My game went straight in the toilet since my son was born in 2021. One "hi daddy" when he comes home from grandma's house makes me forget all about how much I suck now. I took a 10-ish year break from golf and came back better than I was in high school -- I can do it again. I probably won't have to wait until he's 10 to start being a golf degenerate again, but even if I did, I know it'll be worth it. Watching them grow and learn is fascinating. Congrats dude, and I hope you are caught up on your sleep. -
Love this show. Not really a sci Fi person but I love comedies and it has enough in it to make me forget about the whole alien thing. Recently watched (Netflix): The gentlemen: really enjoyed it Warrior: interesting kung-fu show set in western times. Kinda fell off in the last season but the first two were bangers

Ok a bit overdue sorry, just wanted to make sure I could get enough rounds in to have enough of an opinion on these balls The Review 4/7/24 Callaway Chrome Tour/X White Box – Official MGS Forum Review by Yungkory First Impressions (10 out of 10) I haven't played a Callaway ball for years, but it's what I expected and have seen from them in the past, though this time it had Triple Track which I've never played. The name has changed this year and it seems the characteristics are marketed different from previous years. Both balls are marketed to be firmer than the previous-generation "chrome soft" -- which was the tour ball. Now, the Chrome Soft no longer carries a "tour" designation so it seems to me like it would be less performance-based. Aesthetics (10 out of 10) The balls look everything like a premium golf ball should, and every bit like your standard Callaway ball. Shiny cover, chevron marking, and in the version we were sent -- Triple Track (TT). I've never gamed a ball with TT before, and in practice it seems to help. I don't have any data to back it up, but you would want to do something like that for a whole season and not a couple of months like this forum review. Initially, I thought the durability was subpar, after my first 2 rounds with them. What I thought was an inferior cover, I now believe to just be that the paint rubs off. Maybe I just notice it more since I was seeing the Triple Track rub off, and the ball I game obviously doesn't have that? Anyways, I thought the covers were junk at first but they actually hold up well when you're not hitting stuff you shouldn't. I wanted to take a picture of my most-recently used ball, but on its 34th hole it met a watery demise: everytime.mp4 The sound for me is pretty similar across both balls, but the feel is easier to notice. The Chrome Tour feels great off of every club, the X is a bit more harsh feeling. Drive is unsurprisingly the easiest one to tell the difference between. The regular Tour almost feels borderline marshmallow-y and those who don't like that, will probably hate the ball -- it really reminds me of the Chrome Soft of yesteryear, ProV1, Z-Star, (insert your favorite soft-feeling urethane tour ball). Personally, I love that feeling because it makes me think I'm compressing the ball more and getting more out of it. The Numbers (15 out of 20) I really thought the X was going to "fit" me and I would like it, based on the marketing. In real life, it couldn't be further from the truth. I don't know if it's because the ball is designed to spin more, or if it's something between my ears, but it seems like this will accentuate any side-spin imparted by your face angle. I've struggled in multiple rounds to keep the X in play. Could just be me, even though I hardly ever move the ball left to right (I've been up to 8* in to out on QC4). Maybe that's a good thing, I got to see the right sides of the courses I play vs. normally being on the left . I've had much more success with the non-X in my rounds. I believe others found more ball speed with the X, but I was hitting the regular CT the furthest in all of the 6 rounds I played with these. It reminds me very much of the ProV1: feels great, goes far, flatter flight on longer clubs. The only difference is it seems to have more spin coming into greens, especially on full shots. Typically, I get more one-hop-stop from my gamer, and the ProV1s that I have played, but I've found that I can get some sauce on the CT. This was a 7i from 165 that spun back on me a few feet (yea, I missed the bird): The CT definitely performed better and the score would've been higher if the X wasn't involved in the test. On The Course (15 out of 20) If you don't want to read the details, here's a TL;DR: The CT was a really good ball for me, the CTX wasn't. Off the tee the balls perform well. The CT launched a little higher for me but never climbed much higher after that. The CTX launched a little lower for me but would spin up. Since Hawaii generally has sun every day, the fairways I play are often dry and get tons of roll if you don't have a high angle of decent. I believe this is why I saw longer drives with the CT than the CTX, but both balls seemed to be longer than my Z-Star Diamond. I hit some absolute BANGERS with the CT. Strangely, I got more spin from the CT than the X though the marketing would suggest the opposite should've happened. I don't normally pull the ball back or "have it on a string" but found the CT was very capable of doing so. Again, hop-and-stop performance from the X, from any distance into the green. Missing greens is my forte, so I got a lot of chipping in with these balls. Neither of them were difficult to execute shots with, they kinda just do what you ask of them. Bump and runs, check-y pitches, etc. as long as you execute the shot, the balls will react accordingly. Off of my Link.1 the CT and CTX feel very similar and I don't think the characteristics of either would cause me to miss or make a putt. The Good, the bad, the inbetween (15 out of 20) I enjoy testing golf balls. Thankful that we have the forum to be able to have a chance to do it without having to fork over the cash. Testing the CT really made me happy. I can't exactly tell you why, maybe just because I hit some really nice shots with it, or because it feels the way I want the ball to feel off the face of each club? It's a really good ball and I intend on re-visiting it after I work through these 3 dozen Z-star Diamonds. Play it or Trade it? (15 out of 20) I would game the CT. The X just isn't it for me. It's the Indian and not the arrow, but the arrow makes the Indian more crooked. I think when the next 4-for-3 box comes around, I'll scoop some up. Though by that time, the next CT will likely drop. Conclusion I'm pretty low spin in the long game, thought the CTX would be the ball for me. It wasn't. The CT spins just enough for me to be able to game it, the X spins so much I can't tame it. Final Score (80 out of 100) -

I haven't tested as much as I should have by now, but after 2 rounds I think the cover itself is as good as any ball, but I did notice the paint coming off. It could be that I'm just not used to using the alignment lines on other balls, but I was using the triple track this weekend after finding it might actually help me. Noticed some of the paint coming off mid-round. They're definitely worth buying and testing -- not a Cut ball incident where one wedge is going to shred it
