Aotearoa_Brad Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 We have been contacted by Srixon and given an opportunity for a number of contributing MGS members to be able to test out their newest, as yet unreleased, line of balls.I can't tell you what the ball is called, and I can't tell you about the special core composition, or why this is the best ball for you...just now... What I can tell you is that this is a great opportunity to get a jumpstart on your season with some fresh balls in your bag!To be able to give these a fair go you'll need to be in a climate that will actually enable you to hit balls.If you are interested in giving these a whirl, please reply below with your: Handicap Driver SS Current Ball More details will be provided as and when we are able to do so. Until then, your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to provide the details above...

hckymeyer Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Unless it can wait another 2-4 months I'm out of this one. I'm going to take a stab at it though and guess Srixon.

Kenny B Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 OK, I'll bite. HCP was 11.2 when posting ended in November. Driver ss was about 85 last year when it was warmer. Looking for a new ball now - played Srixon Z Star last year; have MG C4 to try when it gets warmer. Weather here is currently in 40's, can change anytime warmer or colder. I played today on my practice course and I was the only one there. Even the clubhouse closed before I finished! “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdiddyesquire Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 If you're looking for a 36.4 handicapper, who plays whatever balls he happens to find in his bag on a given day, I'm your man. Swing speed 110. I post this somewhat tongue in cheek, since I'm hardly the ideal demographic for a high performance ball, but I'm an experienced blogger who will describe my experience with the ball in colorful and interesting ways. Describing balls in colorful and interesting ways is a bizarre thing to claim. But, there it is. -Justin- @jdiddyesquire Driver - Speedline Super LS 9.5*, Matrix Red Tie 6Q3 X stiff3 Wood - Tour Edge Exotics CB4 Tour 13*, Aldila NV Protopype 80X Irons - 3-PW rac LT, KBS Tour XWedges - MP-T4, 50.6, 56.14, 60.5Putter - Odyssey White Hot Pro Rossie Bag: Daltrek Carry-Lite Stand Bag Shoes: Lunar Swingtip Suede Ball: Wilson Staff Duo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
