I was just on a flightscope this past week, and had my numbers looked at.

The one thing I never asked the guy was how much could I reduce the spin by switching balls. I currently use the Pro V1, and that is the ball that I was using on the monitor.

My numbers were:

club speed: 109.5
ball speed : 163.9
spin: 2860
carry: 272
smash: 1.5

Would changing to a Pro V1x reduce the spin that much? I hate to get rid of the feel of the Pro V1, but I would like to get that spin down another 500 rpm's if possible. Any suggestions?

What was your launch angle? What shaft were you hitting? The V1x or Z-StarX may bring your spin down, but it's not all that high to begin with.

At a 2.8 marker, you may be better off sticking with a ball you like the feel of and looking at head/shaft options to optimize your spin.

I believe my launch angle was about 13.8. I am not 100% sure if that is the exact number (I didn't write it down), but that's pretty close. I do know he said we needed to get that down.

I was hitting a UST Proforce V2 75.

The numbers listed above were using that shaft with a 9* KZG PTI head.
