I usually play with Hx tour Callaways or itour but I decided to play with the HX hot and Warbird last month. They (especially the warbird) are budget balls as they are quite cheap so I wasn't expecting much... but I found them to be really good, obviously not quite the same as my usuall balls but they were really consistent and had good feel and distance.

I would reccomend both to begginers and people wanting fairly cheap balls.

The Warbird feel like rocks. But I love the HX Hot's. They go far as hell and don't have that same rock feel to them.

I would disagree a little, Yeah the warbird hasn't got the best feel in the world but it's got surprisingly good feel around the green and from the tee it doesn't feel too bad... but your right, The HX Hots are awesome for the price.

+1 for HX Hot Bites.

However, the HX Hot Bites do get chewed up a little bit. After about 4 holes, I have to switch over to another ball because of ugly gouges on them.

    • Day 591, June 16, 2024 Worked for almost four hours doing some modifications to Golf Evolution (some insulation for a foam door and blacking out the remaining windows next to my teaching area), then hit balls for 45 minutes. Started off stiff, predictably, but five minutes in was humming. Same stuff as the last two days.
    • Day 65: Played 18. Decent round with the exception of two doubles. 
    • Went back to feeling the hands slowing down and stopping at A3. Feel a significant pause at A3. Hands down towards the ground. I get the mental image of Morikawa with how he pauses at the top of the swing, but then really rips at it.  For me, I have to  grip the club about 5° open. Or at least what looks like. With the driver, it’s another story. A bit of a regression here. Lots of John Daly– esque over swing. Lots of  shallowing with the body. If I try to send the club behind me with the hands going down to the ground. I have a bad habit of timing that with an over swing. So, I had to go back to feeling a significant positive again to control the back swing length. Then I went back to try to bring the back of the right hand down to my right hip. It feels stupidly, awkward. Like no flow to the swing. But from A6 through impact  feels more effortless. Now I’m hitting some decent push cuts this way. In the swing feels like it has no speed. But, it’s probably better overall. something I noticed that is way different from my irons to my driver is that with my irons I can keep my eyes looking at the ball much better through the downswing. With the driver, I find it pretty much impossible to do. Will post some videos later.
    • The text, in case Elon ever kills Twitter (more than he already has): Quick 18-hole game you can play on a launch monitor: Write 90, 95, 100, 105… 175 on 18 balls. Put them in a bag, pick one out, try to carry the ball the listed distance. Scoring: - ≤ 1 yd, Eagle - 1.1 - 3 yds, Birdie - 3.1 - 6 yds, Par - 6.1 - 9 yds, Bogey - > 9 yards, Double Of course, you don't have to do it with 18 balls; you can use slips of paper, etc. You could also set a start and end point and randomly generate 18 numbers, and play to those yardages. But… let's see some scores? Let's see what people get. The nice thing is… you only need a Mevo level device.
