Hi Everyone,

A couple of months back we had a nice ball test by Golf Magazine.

I was wondering if anyone had experiances where your results were completely different to what they reported. Many people say that one should not think too long and hard about the figures they report unless you swing the exact same way as the machine and I was wondering if this was true.

2ndly, can someone pls post the 105 ss distance for the e5+, nxt tour, gamer, tp burner and hot bite? I'm in Australia and I can't get a copy of the magazine and I am considering experimenting with the above balls.

thanks in advance,

Driver SS 93-95mph
6 iron SS 77-80mph

Driver: Burner 9.5 S
3 Wood: G10 SIrons 3-pw: MP-57 Dynalite Gold SL S300Wedges: 52 and 56 CG12 60 X- Forged CG/MDPutter: TiffanyBall: NXT TourI have no brand loyalty

Sorry there was only a 105ss for 6 balls.

Just 90mph..do you still want the results?

Oh ok that's fine,

Did you find the results accurate to you?

Driver SS 93-95mph
6 iron SS 77-80mph

All things considered...they are all decent in length. Around the greens they differ greatly, that's what I got from it.

90mph, 137mph ball speed, 13.75 launch, 2900rpm Longest....Nike PD Soft 259.9 (pro-v 249.0) Shortest....Nike One Platinum 239.0 Most balls were in the 249-257 range....so difference is slight

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
