It's been awhile since anyone mentioned these- so I'll throw in my 2 cents. I picked up a couple of dozen of these for our trip to OC, MD last weekend. I have been using the Titleist TruFeel for awhile- mostly for budgetary reasons. But since this was a special trip, I figured I would splurge a bit and see if the performance matched the claims in the ads. I'm not exactly a bomber with SS about 99/100, so off the big stick, I didn't really see a difference there- totals from 240-270 depending on wind and roll out (last course was a killer, fairways were super grabby bermuda that always seemed to be into the grain!). The BIG difference was in the approach irons and wedges. The old TruFeels rolled out quite a bit after landing, but these genuinely just stopped within a yard. Also seemed to carry just a wee bit more. With 6 iron and in carry and total were shockingly close. And I am no real super spinner of the ball. They also felt a lot better off the putter than the TF's. When I would catch one and drop it with a one bounce check up- I would get back into the cart and say to my buddy "I REALLY like these balls..."

I bet they considered “improved playability,” but figured that phrase was taken by club manufacturers.

You might also want to check out the Snell MTB line, the Black with a bit less spin for shorter irons, the X for a little more in the short irons.  I switched from ProV1 a few years ago, I basically c

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
