I received a free sleeve of these balls and tried them last Friday. I must say that I absolutely love them. They have great control around the green, and a soft feel that forces me to slow my swing down and hit correctly. I was using the Titleist HP2 Tour but it just didn't feel right. Last year I played some Warbirds and had excellent success as well. I think I can safely say that my ball is a Callaway.

You must have not tried a Bridgestone ball yet. The E5+ and E6+ are awesome.

Haven't tried these yet, but I have just recently tried the HX HOT BITE. They are ok, but get shredded easy. VERY EASY. They feel comfortable and great, but they last about 2 or 3 holes.

How durable are the HX HOT?

I personaly tried the Bridgestone B330 RX over the weekend, and first off I didn't drop 10 strokes or found the cure all golf ball, but for myself, I got better flight off the clubs, driver and irons. Felt good greenside with the wedges, and ok off the putter face, but don't belive the add, hit on in the water out of a fairway bunker on a long par 5 then toe a wedge into the ground below the green and you can most certainly get a snowman on your score card. I will try them more as I work on my swing change's to see how both work out.

I've heard that the Bite's are softer than the std HX HOT. I played 9 holes with the same ball and it had one little slice in it about a 1/4" long. Nothing big enough to start coming apart or effect ball flight.

I've only played these on a few occaisions but noticed they were quite long and (pardon the pun) also "hot" off the face. What I didn't like about this ball was the sorter shots...100 and in, as well as chipping with it right around the green. That being said, it was surprisingly long.

The HX Hot Bite are alot softer than any other ball I have played. They feel great, but I would never spend $30 on them because they would prolly last me 1 round.

I have been hooked on the TaylorMade TP Red balls as of late. These things are suoer great! I love the distance and the softness it provides. It does wonders around the greens as well as my short game. Great ball IMO

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).

    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
