Still like the Callaway HX Tour; am open to a new Srixon Urethane Cover Ball; heard the new e5 will have less compression for better feel - can't find the source.

I bought my son the Srixon Angry Birds ball ... lol

For spring, I'm looking at the Innovex V Motion Ball.

I found that the NXT Tour S seems to be the best ball for me right now.....it came out in 2012.

I have 2 dozen Maxfli U4x's that I haven't tried yet.

I have 1/2 dozen Velocity's that came as a gift with the Christmas bottles of Jim Beam Black.  I tried one sleeve and found that they respond pretty well for me.....just not as well as the NXT Tour S.  The velocity's were free and i got to drink the bourbon......good deal!

Looking forward to getting my hands on some bridgstones, the new pro v1x just for sh**ts, and Maybe the titleist velocity looking to replace my e6 for somthing with a little more touch around the greens. THis idea seems to be very common with us handicappers around 15

I'm looking forward to trying the new Hex Chrome+ that is due out in March, I got to hit a few shots with it when I was out at the Callaway HQ and was impressed. I am also looking forward to trying the new Nike 20XI, hopefully it has a little better feel than the original version.

I play the Bridgestone B330-RX.  Has anyone heard of them making changes to the ball for 2013 or is it going to be the same?  I will definitely try a few different balls this year.  Either I will fall in love with a new ball or it will confirm why I like the B330.  I also played the Callaway Hex Black Tour earlier this year, but the balls seem to get damaged from regular use after a few holes which I have never experienced from any other ball before.

I'm looking forward to trying out the new Gamer Tour with the urethane cover.

But not too soon, since I just bought 6 dozen of the Gamer v2s on clearance.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Rich - in name only

Played a round with the 2013 ProV1 & ProV1X. Didn't like the feel off the tee but around the greens was amazing, especially the ProV1X.

The Project 5 or Lethal is pretty much a TP5 with a "distance" cover.

Also put into play the 2013 Nike 20XI and 20XI-X and preferred the X for spin control off the tee and around the greens.

I was very happy with the Srixon Z-Star XV Tour as an all around golf ball.

But, I have to say of all these premium golf balls, I will play the MaxFli U4 over them any day.

It's a four piece version of the Chrome, they say it is longer than the current Chrome but spins a little more off of the driver than the HEx Black Tour. I think the retail date for it is in March.

    • Which is actually the worse way to do it… Model Local Rule E-3 “When any part of a player’s ball touches part of the general area cut to fairway height or less [or identify a specific area, such as on the fairway of the 6th hole], the player may take free relief once by placing the original ball or another ball in and playing it from this relief area: Reference Point: Spot of the original ball. Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference Point: [Specify size of relief area, such as one club-length, one scorecard length or 6 inches] from the reference point, but with these limits: Limits on Location of Relief Area: Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and Must be in the general area. In proceeding under this Local Rule, the player must choose a spot to place the ball and use the procedures for replacing a ball under Rules 14.2b(2) and 14.2e. But, for the purposes of applying Rule 14.2e, the player has only chosen the spot on which to place the ball once the ball has been set down, and the player has let the ball go with the intent for that ball to be in play.  After a ball has been placed and is in play under this Local Rule, if the player then proceeds under another Rule that provides relief, this Local Rule may be used again. You could write it as… “When any part of a player’s ball touches part of the general area, the player may take free relief once by placing the original ball or another ball in and playing it from this relief area: Reference Point: Spot of the original ball. Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference Point: a folded scorecard from the reference point… If a player can move from the rough to the fairway (or vice versa, as a lot prefer to perch the ball up in the rough if they can), good for them. So the model local rule is actually often more forgiving about the lie (because the general area is the general area) is fine.
    • Day 111: 4/16/24 Stack Full Speed Spectrum training session 24/24. Finished 2 mph below my top speed which happened in sessions 6 and 18. Progress check in 2 days.  Hoping to make gains for this program.
    • Most clubs that implement preferred lies also require that the type of lie remain the same. I.E. you cannot move the ball from rough to fairway. Does your league require the same?
    • I might have to work on the putting arc and face control. The putter feels closed on the way back and opening the face and pushing putts right. Lots of misses to the heel of the putter. I do think I’m going to stand over the ball less. One glance and the hole then pull the trigger. 
    • Day 532, April 16, 2024 Went back again and played nine holes, then spent two hours on the range. Got to using my arms more.
