Ive been a ProV1x player forever, but I started playing the Snell MTB-X last summer and doubt Im going back. I don't notice any difference between the balls on full shots, but the Snell is nearly half the price. 50 yards and in though the ProV1 is a slightly better ball. So on a firm course in competition play, I might skate back to the Prov1x. But for rec play I'm done with titleist balls.

I have been playing the Titlist TruSoft which was replaced by the TruFeel. I still have a few boxes of TruSoft that were available cheap from Amazon but eventually I will have to find a new ball. Just curious if you have ever played the TruSoft and if so is the TruFeel comparable?

Yes, they are comparable.  The TruFeel has a cool graphic around the product name imprint that helps a lot with alignment.

Well seven games later I am enjoying the re-furb Taylormade Tour pre-X (paying not much over $1per ball)- not as nice off the clubface softness wise but wow great distance and holding the green more than I ever have playing the lower rated balls ... best shot with  TM P-X was yesterday 60 deg wedge after I pulled a shot behind a set of trees (really the one of the worst places to put the ball on this hole) 

So trees blocking lower chipping option and with the hole only couple yards off my side of the green I had to open the 60deg wedge like I was playing out of deep faced bunker ...but in my case was dealing with two story high beach trees 

I was basically playing a 1-10 shot that I would be doing well to even stay on the falling away green ...

Ended up dropping in the perfect spot inside the flag and edge just uphill of the hole to see the ball land so soft and bite and move only a yard closer to the hole ...was blown away ...

I have been playing bridgestone e12 soft.  I find that I do better with a softer ball, and do keep trying other soft balls.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
