Clinically speaking - I'm a new member. I've been following this site for years - in fact, as I write this from my hotel in Newport News, I'm essentially a couple of shots away from MyGolfSpy HQ in Yorktown.

I come to Virginia quite often for business - so I'd like to drop in sometime to see meet the team. I've been a huge fan of MyGolfSpy for years, the articles are exceptional, filled with useful data and most importantly - unbiased.

I put zero faith in Golf Digest's 'Hot List' as almost everything is GOLD, there's no real data or differentiation between the equipment. This is where MGS separates itself from the pack!

I lived in Colorado Springs for the past 13 years, averaging over 100 rounds easily - but in March, I moved to the panhandle of Florida and expect to increase the number of rounds! As I stated, I travel to the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. I've decided to leave a set of clubs here at a local course, so I don't have to worry about damaging them everytime I travel here.

About me - I'm a confessed GolfAHolic! I live for it, play or practice as much as I can. I'm an engineer, so I'm all about the numbers. I've written several reviews for a website similar to MGS, on clubs, balls and training aids. But, it's seemed to wane over the past few years, so I'm looking for people who are passionate about golf, not just chasing the latest giveaway contest and then disappearing.

My handicap sits at 13 today - it was down to a 7.4 last year at this time, but I battled through some injuries. I'm back to working out again and expect that I'll have it back to a single digit by summer. I'm 51 years old, driver swing speed hangs around 100 mph. My ball of choice is Snell MTB.

I look forward to active involvement in the site - the opinions are sometimes comical, sometimes off-topic, but always passionate! You can't ask for more than that!! And that's what I'm here fore (pun intended)!!

I played several courses in that area. Welcome to the forum, eh!

Glad to have you (officially) aboard P.J.

Curious how you came to the Snell MTB ball ? Had you used one before that was more expensive ?

I wrote a review for a 'rival' website a few years ago. Fell in love with the ball. I even received an email from Dean Snell himself, thanking me for the support and feedback. This was during the original version of the logo - not that my comment was a sole contributor, but I talked about the logo and name "My Tour Ball" needing some improvement. They did that!

I did plenty of testing, focusing mostly on short game performance and compared it to a number of industry leaders. In the end, Snell MTB was not only a fantastic value, but it was the top performer. I was hooked...

I've tried the Kirkland ball (from Costco), but it's not as durable - but to be fair, I haven't done any formal testing with it yet.

Thanks for the note - if you're interested, I included the stats from that review.
