My wife's parents caught me 12 for Christmas and I've gamed them for the past two weeks and had a few interesting things happen.  Like I'll know I crushed a drive and it will just drop out of the sky dead...i just wanted to know what other's experiences are with it.

Kinda makes sense… it's a low launch, high spin ball. Which is a pretty small niche.

I don't love MGS by any stretch, but they found that the cores are not very well centered or they have other anomalies in a good % of balls:

Can the Mizuno RB Tour match the quality of the industry leaders? We brought it into the MyGolfSpy Ball Lab to find out.

Hah!!! I frggen knew it!!!  There was just some nonsense happening!  My last round I put a great swing from the deck with my aeroburner mini driver (my 3wood) when I hit it perfectly it will ping loudly and it did on this hit the proceeded to about 170 yards and DIE! On normal shots I hit that thing 230 swinging ( not hard just smooth)  also have hit it as far as 285 yards off the deck.  According to game golf average off the deck is around 225so somehow it went 40 plus yards short.  Wierd thing is that the "dieing" action it would take only happened on full flush hits that I could feel it compress.  If I didn't feel it compress it flew fine...  Just crazy!

Well thanks for the info...put my mind at ease!

I saw those recently and thought about picking them up.

Then I did some more research, found what @iacas did and decided to move on and stick to the Snell MTB.

    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
    • I would guess putting grooves in it might make it non-conforming. I am not sure how stringent the USGA is on restoring golf clubs.
    • If PT doesn't work, then all other options (shots) are just temporary bandages of the pain. You may do more damage. Pain is the bodies way of telling you to STOP. Once you get rid of that, you are just now using an already damaged body part and put more stress and strain on it.
