PeterHenric 185 Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 So I played a couple rounds with the wedges in my bag and I’ve got mixed feelings about them. On the very first hole I shanked 2 shots in a row with the 60 (shanked one then dropped a ball to try again because I was in disbelief). I’m not a fantastic player but it has been quite a long time since I’ve full blown shanked a half swing wedge shot. It was very weird. Those were the only 2 times I shanked any shots so it might have just been me. My “issue” I had was my distances. I’ve not played these lofts before so I might just need to spend some time and get the distances dialed in but I frequently came up short on my wedge approach shots by about 5 yards or so. I normally just game a 54 and a 58 Vokey SM7 so I had those distances dialed pretty good on my half and full swing shots. Instead of getting onto the green from 50-80 yards out I would keep coming up 5-8 yards short. I’m just going to chalk it up to needing to dial in my distances before I start making any final decisions. As far as the V2 balls are concerned, they were just fine. Almost indistinguishable from the V1 in performance as far as I could tell. The cover held up just fine other than when it hit a rock or 2 when it was hit off line. I’m blaming the wind on that. The balls didn’t seem to perform any different than the others. 5 Quote Driver: Callaway Mavrik 10.5º (Project X Evenflow Riptide 60 Stiff) 3 Wood: Titleist TS2 15º (Tensei AV Blue 65 Stiff) Hybrid 1: Titleist 818 H1 19º (Tensei HYB blue 80 Stiff) Hybrid 2: Titleist TS2 23º (Tensei AV Blue 70 Stiff) Irons: Titleist 718 AP1 5-PW (AMT Black Regular Flex) Wedges: Vokey SM8 48 10F, SM8 52 12F, SM8 56 10S (Slate finish with AMT Black Stiff Flex) Putter: Kirkland Signature KS1 and PXG Blackjack Tested: Tommy Armour Impact No. 3 (LINK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just going to chalk it up to needing to dial in my distances before I start making any final decisions. That doesn’t surprise me too much. In theory every degree is supposed to add/subtract ≈2.5 yards. So if your used to playing a 54 and 58, it makes total sense as to why you were coming up shorts. Also, I’ve found the K Sig balls to be very spinny off of iron and wedge shots. Combine new grooves and a spinny ball and that could account for the distance loss as well.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 1 Quote Cortex w/MGS Motore X F1 7X tipped 1" F5 17 degree hybrid w/Rogue Black 85X C300 Forged 3-5 w/C-Taper 130X FG Tour V6 5-6 w/C-Taper 130X Staff Model Blade 7-PW w/C-Taper 130X RTX4 52, 56, 60 w/S400 Tour Issue ER7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peejer 80 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Just got back from our local Costco. The Kirkland wedges, putter, gloves and 3-piece 2.0 balls are all in stock. 2 dozen of the balls were $24.95. I have some of the (apparently 1.0) balls, so now that I know they're two different balls - I think I'll double back and buy some. I'll run them both on my SkyTrak and see if I can tell any difference. Should be interesting... 5 Quote SIM2 Max Driver Rogue 3W Rogue 4Hybrid M6 irons MP-T7 wedges ER7 Putter "MTB-X" Golf Ball 3.5+ Cart NX9 HD Pro Rangefinder Launch Monitor Denver, Colorado Home Course: Eisenhower Golf Club, USAF Academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peejer 80 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Sorry for the delay, I ran the tests - but with the holidays, forgot to post them.

PeterHenric 185 Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Few questions for you. How many shots total did you hit for each ball and club?I’m surprised to see such a difference in spin between v1 and v2. I play them both and don’t know that I’ve ever been able to see or feel a difference. I’m not the best player so that shouldn’t mean all that much.The carry difference with your driver from v1 to v2 is also very surprising.The Driver seems to be where there is the biggest difference between all of them.Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Quote Driver: Callaway Mavrik 10.5º (Project X Evenflow Riptide 60 Stiff) 3 Wood: Titleist TS2 15º (Tensei AV Blue 65 Stiff) Hybrid 1: Titleist 818 H1 19º (Tensei HYB blue 80 Stiff) Hybrid 2: Titleist TS2 23º (Tensei AV Blue 70 Stiff) Irons: Titleist 718 AP1 5-PW (AMT Black Regular Flex) Wedges: Vokey SM8 48 10F, SM8 52 12F, SM8 56 10S (Slate finish with AMT Black Stiff Flex) Putter: Kirkland Signature KS1 and PXG Blackjack Tested: Tommy Armour Impact No. 3 (LINK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Driver seems to be where there is the biggest difference between all of them. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy I hit a LOT of shots, but only kept the good one's. I only kept the best 5 as I didn't want my bad swings to impact the results. For the Driver, if it was more than 15 yards off target, I discarded it. For the 7-iron, if it was more than 10 yards off target, I discarded it. For the PW, if it was more than 7 yards off target, I discarded it. No real science to that, just was a self-imposed parameter so I wouldn't skew the numbers. -- Peejer 1 Quote SIM2 Max Driver Rogue 3W Rogue 4Hybrid M6 irons MP-T7 wedges ER7 Putter "MTB-X" Golf Ball 3.5+ Cart NX9 HD Pro Rangefinder Launch Monitor Denver, Colorado Home Course: Eisenhower Golf Club, USAF Academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav3468 0 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Could the off center core be from cutting a soft core. Maybe I pushed it to the bottom of the cut? I’d be curious to see if you mark the bottom in the direction you cut and see if that is the thinner side of the second layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterHenric 185 Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 I wouldn’t think so. The whole point of the golf ball is to return back to normal shape after taking a hit. Cutting it shouldn’t be any different.
