Just saw the new web design and while i agree the site needed a new look, this isnt a great change IMO. What happened? everything is so large and "in your face". it makes it hard to digest everything on screen. not liking this at all

This might contradict the point of your post but I actually hit a specially made matte finish version and I was only carrying the ball 270. Hit the actual club and I was easily carrying it 278'ish. But then....THEN... they brought out a pinball metallic finish and the sun was reflecting off the crown, almost burning a hole in my retina. Could barely even look at the ball and pretty much averaged 295 carry. Unbelievable.
drowning in the sarcasm over here....lol.....

CS was shockingly long for me.....all the "SOFT" talk and "mushy" talk leads people to think its slow and short.....definitely not the case.
The new TP5 was radically changed IMO and is a shell of its former model, which was crazy good for me.

I have TP5X's available for $38 + shipping.....hate these balls now

It's definitely a preference thing, obviosuly the tour pros must ike it or there would have been some options along the way. I personally can paly either one, but give me a choice of the two, and I'll take a glossy finish.
i just saw the TS4 pics and if that is a low spinning 440cc head, im in trouble with the wife

Be sure to check out the MGS Home Page First Look piece when it drops when the official launch is announced. It will have in person live first hand experiecne and photos.
Titelist has never done matte, so wasn't much hope for that to be the new lineup.
agreed but the shiny black crown is so played out and is ridiculous in the sun....im really interested in the TSR4 though....will keep fingers crossed as performance is key, not looks. I was just hoping for a more muted look

im disappoinited in the asthetics.....was hoping for a more matte finish to reduce glare. I still play the 910D3 and was hoping to "upgrade" this year. We will have to see

I am starting to think the "Most Wanted" label should be rebadged.......with the putter article, i highly doubt a cobra putter is the "most wanted".......Cameron maybe......sales will dictate what is actually most wanted and i literally have never seen a cobra putter on a course near me.
"Best performer" might be better????
Most wanted has always rubbbed me the wrong way....

So I have hit a lot of shots in the sim and I can talk launch angles and spin rates all day about the various balls on the market. But I have nothing as far as knowledge of wind effect on various dimple patterns. So Spies, which of you play in a wind swept area and have learned that "X" ball tends to work better? From tour pro talk it sounds like maybe Srixon does better then some. But I have nothing to back that up. What have you all found for the best ball in the wind?
do you mean downwind or agaisnt the wind? the 2 scenarios are so different on how it effects drag, any answer you get in this thread will not be applicable to your situation on any given day.
in my experience, a real low spin ball has worked best for me.....any production of spin over 2000 rpms agaist a headwind will balloon unless you know how to hit stingers and flight the ball really low
left dash worked well in the wind for me......bridgestone BXS, BALLOON BALL!!!!

left dot is the best ball ive ever played, but i do not have experience in big wind with it...only nice calm days

I was checking out Phil’s new logo balls in this article when I noticed something more interesting, to me at least.
https://golf.com/gear/golf-balls/phil-mickelson-golf-ball-logo/Look at Phil’s ball and you’ll see a dot after Chrome Soft X. That’s definitely not a retail version regardless of his logo. Does anyone know what’s different about this… I guess I’ll call it a right dot?
Phil has never played an "off the shelf" golf ball...

Have played several times with the 2022 AVX. Completely different ball than the 2021 - more spin off driver and feels much firmer, more like last year's PV1X. One thing is the same - will not stop like the PV1. Tempted to just go back and play SuperHot 55s.
strange because this version of the AVX is suposed to be softer and lower spinning off the long clubs....
get your hands on some left dots and see what you think
-
cant wait to try these but i wish Callaway would update their logo font.....
-
Left dot will have a mainstream release in the same manner as left dash.
the rep i spoke to 6 months ago confirmed it.......timing is the only missing element. It could be a late summer release but that s just a guess. The release info is direct from Titleist.

I know Mizuno is a good golf company but I NEVER see anyone on the course with Mizuno clubs.....its strange. All I see is Callaway, TaylorMade and Titleist for the most part. I see older guys with PING but thats about it

Well maybe not measure it, but you can calculate it because they are all fly through the air which is relatively consistent. The answer is about 3.5 % per second in the air. Here is some math, and explanation for where it comes from.
i have read that in the past and its great an all but IMO. descent angle is where its at for iron play....you know that pin is 150 yards out, hit it high and 150.....drop it right on that number if you can.....dont worry about spin........lots of guys like to hit that shot 160 and draw the ball back but to me, thats just luck and another factor you cannot control.....
id love to see spin #'s when the ball actually hits a green but even then, the hardness of the green comes into play. I truly believe the average golfer spends WAY TOO MUCH TIME on this stuff and tries to incorporate this into their on course game....its pointless to me.......fun to talk about but pointless for the average player......i hear guys on the course who cannot break 100 talking about spin rates and thier $500 driver they cannot hit over 200 yards..... its all craziness to me......

The "spin" metric is so over rated if you ask me because NOBODY can measure spin after it leaves the club face. you can "control" spin with your swing by employing different techniques....
i would love to see a test of how much a ball is spinning when it hits the green......but without that, i just try to control descent angle as best i can. Ive played "spinny" balls and "low spin" balls all with the same results depending on my swing.

Looks the same to me
What the picture can't convey is how different the cover *feels*
I hope this is a hit ince Titleist is releasing the left dot to retail.......this ball is very fancy looking

Played with a Callaway rep a few days ago. I mentioned how much I liked the XLS except for one thing: cover durability. He handed me a white box sleeve and said, "yeah, we hear that a lot. This is coming out in a couple months. Let me know what you think."
Y'all. These are *legit.* The cover is muuuuuuch softer but more durable while maintaining the performance from the current version. Nice, flat trajectory on all clubs and a firm-but-not-harsh feel. With the current gen, on short irons, I could flush it and think I clanked it. Much more responsive and better feedback with the new version.
Greenside is tuned and responds how I'd expect based on the shot I'm hitting and they've really done a great job making it less clicky on slow-speed swings and off the putter.
Oh, and durability? Current version: ~3 holes before the cover is shredded. New version? Played 9 today with the same ball and not a scuff or scrape to be seen. Don't sleep on this one...
pics or it didnt happen

I have done three......and all three times a different ball was recommended. the ONLY consistent message taken from all three fittings is the fact not one ball fits every shot.....you always sacrifice something.......and big box stores have crappy fittings....NEVER get fit inside for ANYTHING......after these "fittings", i did my own season long tests with 50 rounds and 10 different balls.....i concluded the three best all around balls for MY GAME....are the ChromeSoft X, Titleist Prov1 and Prov1 left dot......left dot is my favorite ball but I can play all three and have what i call success....you have to run our own tests once you get the driver #'s in your pocket......i found the best fitting techniques started with the 7 iron and ended with the putter.....

I saw a video with Mr Wunder and he spoke briefly about these balls being manufactured with less side spin, so they fly straighter.......how can you do this with a round core? does anyone have any insight to how callaway manufactures less side spin? I have TBH, tw summers ago i played the CS and it definitely flew straight as an arrow.....is this all marketing or can Callaway truly make a ball with much less side spin than other manufacturers.
