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

    • Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.
    • Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.
    • You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.
    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
