Anyone tried these new 4-piece balls yet? They're supposed to be awesome, what do you all think of them?

I havent played them yet..but ive been hearing big things about them...I hear they are very soft ...i am anticipating trying them soon along with the HX Hot Bite that is supposed to be a sleeper..

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

tried the 'hx hot bite' on sunday, seems a little softer than my curent ball prostaff 360, but didn't notice any huge diffferences in spin with my cg14 wedges. with a full shot onto green, it would bounce once than roll about 1 foot forward. picked up a dozen for 44 aus dollars i.e. about 40 us. keep in mind most golf stuff is more expensive in aus than us.

The Callaway scuffs up way yo much. I am using a pro v1 at the moment and the Callaway would compare to the pro V1 in my eyes.

Saying that they scuff up so i am going to stick with the pro V1.

So unless you really want to keep buying dozen after dozen for the callaway's dont both

Ive tried these balls in 3 rounds - changing every 9 holes
but did not like them one bit (i was coming from Wilson Staff Tx4), they seemed to have goof control around the greens, but felt too light when struck and did not have as good as distance as other balls i have played with (Pro V1 etc.)

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
