Putting and Ball Compression


Crash006

Recommended Posts

Hey All,

 

I am not a great golfer, my goal every round is to break 100. My local course has narrow fairways, narrow greens that are incredibly hard (for me) to stick.

 

All that aside, my recent round went downhill on the back 9 yesterday. I always use low compression ball as I have low club speed with an iron but pretty decent with my driver. Currently I use Taylormade Soft  Response Red but I swapped to a Callaway warbird 2.0 on hole 12. Now, I already started going downhill before making this change  as holes 10 and 11 were not good, but it went really down hill on the greens. I was rolling the ball so far past when i had no issues on the first 9 at all. 

With the above information, useless or not, does ball compression change things when putting? I googled the crap out of this yesterday and was not able to find anything on putting and compression.

The ball compression doesn't really matter much at all. You aren't "compressing" the ball enough for the core or even the mantle to matter.

The cover material can matter. The different cover materials can have a different CoR.

    • I just recently bought two pairs of True, originals 1.2 and a lightweight pair which will have to wait until after Winter.  Very comfortable, but they leaked at the hells, unusual design almost like they have a slipper inside at the back with a waterproof membrane.  The leaked  outside of the membrane, but it eventually crept up into the shoe. I’ve had them replaced, but I haven’t really had a chance to test them yet  
    • Maybe his opinion is based on purely apolitical observations?
    • I currently am building a driver from ground up and need a question answered if anyone can. I have a Taylormade Rocketballz (RBZ) Tour driver head which required a shaft with a .350 tip diameter. I was able to get a shaft with a .335 tip diameter and i don't know much about these adapters for drivers so here is my question: If I buy a .335 adapter that is compatible with a RBZ driver head will that work or do i have to get a driver shaft with a .350 tip diameter?    Sorry if the question is worded in a confusing way but im just trying to figure out if i was use the .335 shaft or if i need to go ahead and buy one that is .350. 
    • Day 9: went to the range at lunch. Worked on short game and putting. I actually got the low spinner to work well for the first time, so that's awesome. Putting was solid, too.
