    2024 TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x Golf Balls

    When I tried the new TP5 (on GC Quad and on course) I had high hopes that the new ball would give me more distance than the prior generation ball. It just wasn’t there. The spin was still very good but there was no distance gains to be had. Bridgestone’s BXS falls in the same category of spiny...

    Aerotech SteelFiber

    If you’re looking at SF available thru Mizuno, the i95 F3 would be a good shaft to look at. It should be available in Mizuno’s fitting cart.

    PING G430 MAX 10K Driver Preview

    I’ve now had a good number of rounds with 10K in the bag and I’m impressed! This is my first foray into Ping equipment and I’m here to tell ya, they do forgiveness unlike I’ve played before. Best strike to best strike against my Stealth 2 Plus, 10K is about 5 yards shorter. But what this driver...

    2023 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x Golf Balls

    I’m giving Callaway’s new aero package and softer cover a big thumbs up! Side wind stability of the CT was excellent! It was pushed by the wind but not nearly as much as Pro V1x however the spin differences between the balls may account for some of what I saw. I’d play the CT but the drop in...

    2023 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x Golf Balls

    Played V1x against Chrome Tour and Bstone Tour X the past few rounds based on Ballnamic’s recommendation. The balls are all fantastic but the V1x is just so solid in pretty much every aspect. If it were a bit softer, without compromising anything performance related, I’d love it more. Going to...

    Callaway Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft Golf Balls

    Not really when CT has one shot with spin over 3000 rpm versus 2 for CS. CT’s highest spin was 3274 rpm against CS at 3549 and 3800 rpm.

    Callaway Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft Golf Balls

    Played CT on Sunday in cool windy conditions. This ball seems to ignore the wind especially when the wind is into or across. I found the higher launch coupled with lower spin off my mid irons to be troubling for distance control but this was my first time playing the CT so I know in time I could...

    PING G430 MAX 10K Driver Preview

    IMHO, in the fittings I have done and my own playing experience, Ping 10K is worth a look for any player regardless of CHS that doesn’t need more shot shape correction than what the loft sleeve offers. I’ve had slicer and hookers test the 10K, Max, LST and SFT in a session. 10K has a hard time...

    Cobra DARKSPEED Drivers Review

    I’ve fit several hard hitters into LS with heavy weight back. The beauty of LS is it tames the draw side miss while not being too fade biased in the neutral weight back set up. The face sits open a good bit at standard and that adds to the confidence the ball won’t hook. One customer had a...

    Callaway Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X, and Chrome Soft Golf Balls

    I have a box of BX, CT and CTX to test against my trusted Pro V1x. In my mind, I believe CTX will be the only ball that will rival V1x. The new aero package really has my interest since I’m never playing in still conditions.

    Help understanding Backspin w/ Driver

    This scenario sounds like a high AOA with the face wide open. In my mind I see a swing where the golfer is stuck on their rear foot, club head rises a lot into the ball because there is no move back to the lead foot. Club face must be wide open too for spin to be above 5000 rpm. I’m guessing the...

    Which Ball Would You Play?

    Been a Pro V1x player for a couple years now however this year I am ball dabbling. Tested RB Tour X and quite liked it so much so I’d like to try the RB Tour at some point. Tried ‘24 TP5 which was so so. Tried BXS which had spin for days but was short off the long clubs. Next up are CT, CTX...

    PING G430 MAX 10K Driver Preview

    I would say spin sits in the mid-low range. Neither too high nor too low.

    A microfibre cloth designed for windows makes a world of difference. I use CarPro’s Windows towel and Stoner Invisible Glass window cleaner.

    How does Ping install shaft adapter?

    Watch from the 2:45 mark on. I guess the answer is brute force. Epoxy pushes up the sides of the adapter creating a solid bond.

    Choosing a Golf Ball?

    My answers would be; It could if the ball doesn’t offer enough spin. Yes, higher CHS players can over compress a soft ball which leads to a distance penalty. Yes, broadly speaking softer balls tend to spin less which yields more distance. My happy median is where my needs are met in the...

    Does Ball Number Matter?

    Maybe a little.
