Wedgie Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Latest tweet from My Golf Spy. No doubt I’d watch this. Thinking we should do a LIVE Golf Ball Test. What do you think? This would end the debate once and for all. Soft is slow.

Nunfa0 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I don't need to see a live ball test, on Saturday I played beautifully and hit the ball really well and my longest drive was 263 yards. I played on Monday, hit the ball just as well but my longest drive was 313 yards!! The difference was Saturday I used a Chrome Soft and Monday I used a Srixon Zstar. 50 yards difference and the conditions on Monday were colder and damper Reesedw and GB13 1 1 Quote In my cart Bag: Driver: King F9 9° - LH - Atmos Blue TS 6 Stiff Woods: King F9 - LH - 3/4 Wood - Atmos Blue 7 Reg Z U85 2 Iron Irons: T200 4 Iron AMT White S300 T100S - LH - 3-48* - AMT White S300 Wedges: Indi FLX- LH - 52° 56° 60° - True Temper Spinner Wedge shafts Putter: 2 Bar Hybrid Ball: Pro V1x Testing: Haywood CB/MB Combo Iron Set, 4-7 Cavity backs, 8-PW Muscle Backs, True Temper Dynamic Gold 105 Stiff, 2 Degrees stronger lofts.

WalterS Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 So no more "Callaway chrome soft" as in soft balls don't go very far, but 50 yrds less, that's amazing. I just looked in my bag and there were a couple of the CS, into the garbage they go. Nunfa0, HeathS16 and tony@CIC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaidJacket Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 If you gained 50 yards you must have had a sleeve of duds. I've never given up or gained anywhere close to that kind of distance from any modern and current issue ball. Maybe it was your breakfast or something.

hahanice Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Gotta say, I've been playing z star all year. Been struggling with iron distance so a friend told me to go back to duo. Got my distance back immediately. Did multiple on course tests, and while some were even, there were some holes where I just couldn't get the z star to the green. Tried as many as 5 balls on some approaches. Z star also feels like eating a jawbreaker in comparison. I'm going back to duo. No need to further test for me. I know not everyone can do a real ball test like this but if possible you should. Low single digits. Swing speed at 105 or so. Just wanting to say if soft balls work for me and my speed they should work for most people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storm319 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 A live video of the entire test would be mind numbingly boring. A short, edited video detailing the testing approach and a few sample shots would be more useful to most people.
