Does anyone have any experience with golf scooters or the motor bike style golf carts

I also like the Bxs but this year I'm playing the Pro V1. I had the luck of being chosen for the Titleist blind test. The Pro V1 left dot was the straightest ball I have ever hit off the tee and long too. The spin around the greens was awesome just like the regular Pro V1. It feels soft too. I would recommend it for your test if they start to produce them for regular sales.

Had a great round today at Caledonia shot 67

based on the cut ball pictures it is the #3 The test balls were cut in one of the posts to this thread and the left dot write up has a cut ball in the picture.

Based on the cut Left dot from the "Limited Release" write up it is the #3 or B3 in this picture!

yup

I didn't use a launch monitor. The trajectories are very different. The #3 flies about 20-30 feet lower than the #4 for me. The #4 really seems to balloon.

I will also keep an eye out for the #3 ball from the Titleist blind test because if it is cheaper than the Pro V1 it could be my ball.

I have a good supply of Pro V1 balls left from a bet I won for 12 dozen balls. I broke down the balls in the mid speed and found three balls fit in the top 5 of all categories tested. Pro V1 $44.99/ Snell MTBX $33.95 / Bridgestone B xs $39.95 Pro V1 and Bridgestone prices are for logo overruns on golfballs.com I will try all 3 and when the new seasons balls come out I will look for deals on all three.

Golfballs.com has logo overruns of the Bridgestone Bxs for $39.95

Thank You for this testing opportunity I had fun doing the testing. Thank you Titleist.

Now I have played both balls 9 more holes for a total of 18 holes on each of these balls. I broke out a new lob wedge for this nine. I still far prefer the #3 ball to the #4 ball and I like the current Pro V1 over both. I played 27 holes and the final 9 were with the Pro V1. Number 3 ball with an 8 iron checked up in inches more than once. This was a 3/4 sand wedge from 103 yards and it spun back about 3 feet no slope involved. This was a 5 iron from 193 yards it checked up after a big bounce and rolled a few feet. Ball #3 flew about 5 yards longer than my Pro V1 does and checked up just as nicely as my Pro V1. I really like the window it flies into with every club. It feels softer than my Pro V1, maybe lighter too and it flies super straight. This time around I was able to shape it in small draws and fades but only 5 -10 yards no hooking or slices at all. Mind you I rarely slice a ball but I can surely hook one 20 plus yards. Let's be honest straighter is longer. The #4 ball is not for me, I don't like the windows it flies in, it tends to balloon and fall out of the sky with my short irons and wedges. I think I lose about 10 yards on some shots because it flies so high. The ball is nice and long with the driver but I don't like the ball flight with it. Durablity: These balls never landed on anything but grass and hit no trees or paths. All of this damage is from club interaction. I noticed the lifted panels after some full wedge shots with my newly regrooved lob wedge. I am no expert on what is just paint damage and what is damage that can impact the flight of the ball. I would say these are a bit less durable than my Pro V1 and unless they are going to be much cheaper I wouldn't buy them. I would play the #3 if it were $40

Task: test two prototype Titlieist premium balls marked simply as #3 & #4 Conditions: temp 84-97 degrees sunny and humid Standards: LOL none from Titleist so I started on the chip and putt then progressed to the course where I played 9 holes with each ball Short game impressions: Green side feel with a lob wedge with good grooves: Both balls feel soft off the face. Both balls were controllable like my Pro V1. When I opened the face: the #3 spun up higher and rolled out about 4 feet on a 30 yard flop shot, the #4 ball went high just about 3 feet lower than the #3 and also rolled out about 4 feet. Both results are similar to what happens with my Pro V1 on the same shots. I then hit each with a standard chip no open face and brushing the grass both balls reacted about the exact same as my Pro V1 landing and rolling about 6 or 8 feet nothing to comment on. Lastly I hit each with a long low fight and heavy spin from about 50 yards, the #3 ball took one bounce and spun back about two to four feet and the #4 ball took a big bounce and trickled out less than a foot before stopping. Putting: both balls feel very soft on the putter and are as nearly the same as could be possible. I played the front 9 with the #4 ball: Off the tee with a driver (100 mph swing speed) the ball felt much firmer than in short game, it felt much firmer than my Pro V1 does, it flew far lower than I normally drive the ball carrying about 15 yards short of my normal landing area and rolled out a long way giving me about a 8+ yards gain, I normally play between 110 yards to 90 yards for my second shot, today was just 82 yards those gains held true on every drive. I thought I had hit it low on the face but the mark was just 1/2"out towards the toe of center. All my drives had the same firm feel with this ball they all had very low spin, I could hit a 5-10 yard draw or fade with the #4 ball off the tee with driver. I played a handful of 5 irons and 4 hybrids combined, the ball still flew in a lower window than I like to see but the three I hit on the green all stopped within 8-10 feet leaving 2-3" marks in the green not real deep but long and the ball stopped well. With 6,7 & 8 irons the ball still flew below my normal window and spun to a stop within a foot or two of where it landed, the ball marks were more like my Pro V1 marks deep. The full to 3/4 swings with 9-SW were still penetrating and low compared to the Pro V1 and many of them spun back hard after the bounce, one full sand wedge spun 12 feet on a flat green. Lob wedges near the green played just like the practice area shots. I shot 40, I tend to shot about 38 on that nine most days. I felt like over all I lost about 5 yards with short irons with this ball and gained 3-5 yards with long irons. Fairways metals were about the same just way lower flight and more roll. The Back nine is the easier side. I played the #3 on the back. It was getting very hot on the back nine, mid 90's with high humidity. The #3 ball with a driver has a higher ball flight than the #4 and carried a good bit longer than my Pro V1 does it was also long on the ground (maybe the sun hardened ground) plus 20 yards. I found it nearly impossible to shape this ball it went dead straight and long. I can move the driver both ways with a Pro V1 in six drives I was only able to draw one shot about 5 yards. The ball felt a bit squishy off the tee with driver but that may be a heat factor I'm not sure I'll update after I play again over the next 4 days. The ball flight with longer irons was very similar to the Pro V1. I gained about 5-7 yards with the 4 hybrid and 5 iron on every shot, thank goodness I hit it into a front pin because I may have flown the green if it were a middle pin. The other two shots I hit with longer irons were layups. I hit only three mid irons 1 six and 2 sevens and they reacted like a Pro V1 but half to 3/4's longer than standard, they stopped within three feet of landing nearly no bounce or none. I found the short irons to play almost a full club longer with this balls and it really spun up on full and 3/4 wedges and even one 9 iron. I often get about 3 feet of spin on those shots with a Pro V1, the #3 was pulling back 6-9 feet and one shot a good 14 feet, which sucked because it landed a foot past the pin. I shot 1 under on the back and really didn't capitalize with the putter, 3 lip outs, or it may have been really low. I liked the #3 ball and will test it against my gamer shot for shot this week and see how they compare in the exact same conditions together. I really like the Pro V1 and it would take some big gains to get me to switch but I will wait until the head to head play has happened. The #4 ball is not for me. Maybe the fast swing speed guys will like it better? I gave one to a pair of friends to try because they swing in the 115 range with a driver. We play again on Tuesday and I will get their feedback then. Thanks for the chance to test out these balls. I will update until I lose these balls or my wedges destroy them. They do seem MUCH more durable than my Pro V1.

I love the driver, it is a weapon, I hit it very straight and can hit draws and fades. The shaft is the key for me in many respects. The 3 wood is great off the fairway and ok off the tee. I tend to fade it off the tee more than hit it straight. The 5 wood is a good club but I am switching to a 3 hybrid for shots out of the rough. I don't like to hit woods from the rough. I get to steep.

Thanks, I got to golf for my birthday and shot a tidy 71.

Thanks. I had the putter fitting at club champion and they didn't do anywhere near what the Edel fitting videos include.

I would love to go thru a full fitting with Edel but I don't know anywhere to get the full comprehensive fitting.

I am interested in the forward putter grip. Where can I read your review?

I have very big hands and play oversized grips on all my clubs except for my putter right now. I really like the Pistol style grips. I just haven't found any oversized ones that have that bend like the smaller ones. I'm looking for some recommendations please.

The game of golf is a fickle mistress. Yesterday I played and shot the worst score I have made in 5 years, 87 with 6 three putts. Today I played the same course with the same foursome from the same tees and shot 71. We play it down and bet heavily so no gimmies or mulligans. This game is crazy sometimes. The major difference was simply confidence in my putting.

I would recommend this guy to anyone. I sent him two Cleveland CG 12 RTG DSG wedges and he refurbished them with raw faces and amazing fresh grooves. Total price for two wedges $46 plus shipping. They came out great and in only 2 weeks. Jim Kronus President The Iron Factory 7615 N 75th Ave Suite 105 | Glendale, AZ 85303 P: 970-245-2444

I have been feeling like my wedge game had slipped quite a bit since I stopped playing my trusty old Cleveland CG 12 RTG DSG wedges. They just lost there grooves. I bought 3 sets when the square grooves got taken away from us so they lasted until 2015/16. Since then I have tried most of the major wedge brands best wedges in the search for what would be best for my game. Most had great faces and feel. They all spun the ball really well. I just couldn't find a bounce and grind combo that I could hit all the shots I could hit with my CG 12's. I went for a Titleist wedge van fitting and a Cleveland van fitting. I had Club Champion fit me to Callaway Jaws wedges. I could hit some of the shots with all of the wedges yet not all of the shots with any of these wedges. A friend told me about this guy: Jim Kronus President The Iron Factory 7615 N 75th Ave Suite 105 | Glendale, AZ 85303 P: 970-245-2444 Two wedges fully refurbished for just $46 plus shipping. Fresh grooves and raw faces like new and legal grooves.

I figured that was the case.

I went through a putter fitting and what really stood out to me was the importance of matching the swing arch of my stroke to the toe hang of the putter did to improve my putting. That said. How much do you think these tests are affected by the diversity of swing arch in the group. Have you considered doing Face Balanced, Slight arch and big arch putter tests like you do for swing speeds on drivers?

Great point!
