Sounds very interesting, and thank you I will

Thank you, I was looking for this!

Thank you @Larryd3 and @PMookie, I was really hoping it was worth it. I am going to try to find an instructor, I wasn’t sure the DVD would be good since it’s more feeling the slope and associating it with a percentage.

Is there a secret to green reading? I am a fairly decent putter, my arccos caddie handicap for putting is +1.1 at the moment, and I average around 1.9 putts a hole. Lessons at the moment are not happening in my area nor are practice areas, but I would like information for when things are available to hit the ground running. There is always a couple putts that just get away from me, or I will look at that I just have no idea what it will do, and I just hope to get lucky. As a handicap golfer I am happy with 2 putt and go, but as a golfer I want more birdies and eagles to make my scorecard better. I have seen aimpoint, and has anyone tried it and is it worth trying to find a coach for that? I know they sell a DVD but it had very mixed reviews. I have even considered buying a level and just setting it at different spots on the practice area and training my brain that way. Any helpful tips are much appreciated.

That is awesome!! Congratulations on the hole in one!

I really enjoy walking the course. Keeps me loose and gives me time to cool off after a bad shot, and I get a better picture of the course. My scores are usually better when I walk. Luckily my girlfriend bought me a pushcart last year for my birthday and it made it even more enjoyable. I wish more people at my course would walk.

I’ll play 9 during the week after work when I can, but on weekends I like getting a full 18.

Good deal, good luck with the round! On course is where it really stood out to me.

I’m not the greatest on feeling compression, but I have played the B XS for many rounds and now testing the B X, and I have found no loss of distance. The XS is softer than the X, but neither are rocks. I’d just say solid. They are worth a try.

So I have always played the spin version of the golf ball, Pro V1x for example. I really enjoyed the B XS, distance was amazing and all the green side spin I could imagine. As my game has slowly got back into shape due to no practice in months, on several greens during the rounds I would spin the ball off the green. Our greens are in great condition now and I am really noticing it is high spin. I’m using my rounds as a way to practice and it’s finally starting to work for me, but I would hit an amazing shot and the divot is pin high but at the front of the green or in many cases in thick rough short sided. It was really frustrating but not the balls fault at all, it’s doing what it is supposed to do. I’m not good enough to control spin, most days I’m happy if I can just hit the green. So I bought a sleeve of the B X, and I had the best round of the year so far, I almost broke 80!! The distance was amazing, I hit one 362 pin high( down wind) on a par 4, but in the bunker. I hit half the GIR, and got lots of green side spin. I bought a dozen because they are on sale, and so I can keep testing. I tried this ball in the early season, but it came to life now that my swing is better and faster. I may have a new ball.

FFG is offering a subscription much like Netflix, $12 a month, and I am gonna sign up for it. I really need to improve my flexibility, and hopefully this will help with my back pain. I started walking the course again, and I really ride the struggle bus around hole 15. Improved consistency is really what I’m hoping to achieve, but never gonna be upset if I gain some CHS.

After the ball buyers guide I have been really good about only playing new balls and staying with one brand. I have really enjoyed the Bridgestone Tour B XS, but due to no practice I decided to test out the Snell MTB-X, so like @cnosil sticking with the same characteristics.

Thank you, much appreciated!

I can see why, for the price and performance I may continue to play it.

I played the Snell MTB-X this weekend, and it was a little wet but the carry off the tee seemed as good as my Bridgestone B XS. The spin on the greens were as good as well, I actually got a couple to spin back on some 40-60 yard pitch shots. I was very impressed.

Agreed, I play the Ventus black, and it is awesome. I just stack my strikes on the sweet spot like never before, and it’s given me a confidence like no other. No ballooning off the tee either is a game changer, I play often in 20 mph winds, so hitting into wind I’m not punished near as much as I was before Ventus.

I switched to a shorter shaft(44.5) starting this season, and it’s been a transition mostly due to my range being shutdown due to the pandemic. But I’ve had 20+ rounds with it now, and I am enjoying it. I’m now actually longer due to I am stacking my strikes in the center, and I am hitting a lot more fairways. I do have a fair bit of speed, 110+, so maybe that helps me. I also play a heavier head so swing weight, and the mass helps with ball speed. Overall I have never had control like I do now, and my confidence had improved so much. It’s at least worth a try if you can find one.

I have the Gen 1 0811X, and I got it for the hero’s price, so much like the deal that is in place now. I did the online fitting, so I cannot speak to the in person fitting, but I hear it’s top notch. The driver is as good as anything out there, and pretty forgiving, so better may be splitting hairs. I get comments all the time about the sound, and I get really good distance from it. The head cover is really soft high quality leather. I do not regret my purchase at all. I hope this helps.

The quality is equal to Pro V1, and I switched from Pro V1X to the XS. It’s the only ball I have tried that I haven’t gone back to Titleist. I liked Snell, but Bridgestone will have better quality control and the cover seems to hold up better, but I’ve only played a dozen Snell.

@Skulled_Birdies I went through their online fit and it recommended the Tour B X as well. I played the previous version and loved it, so I bought a dozen on the new version. It was at the start of season, and swing wasn’t in the best shape, but I got along with it okay. I hit some bombs, but on my slower swings I felt like I hit a block of ice. I got good spin with full iron shots, but around the green I couldn’t get enough spin. So I tried the B XS, and I played one round and took advantage of the buy 3 get one free. My distance is still long, but the ball really shines on the green. My partners are always saying they wish they could spin it like me, but it’s all the ball. If you have speed you won’t be disappointed with either ball, and if you have a really good short game you may get more out of the B X than I did. Try both and see which you like more.

I ordered mine on golf balls.com as well and within 3 days they were shipped. They came out really good. I was thinking about ordering another round before they expire.

They are great! Customer service is second to none.

I understand that, I’ve had black irons before, so on the face and sole I’m good with happening. I was more curious as to how the back of the club and resistant to nicks and fading is, due to the fact I live in Texas and the sun bakes everything here. I was mostly making sure that if I’m gonna pay for the black it lasts more than a couple weeks, I’m pretty particular about my clubs.

Well I sent Jason an email, so I’m convinced.
