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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 7, April 15.   I was so excited about the pelvis turn drills that I didn't work on the hip rotation drill from my latest Skillest lesson (oops!).  I worked on that today, using a cereal box.  I also continued to do some pelvis turn drills, in part because I'm doing some of it with all practice balls hit, and I wanted to hit some balls this morning too.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I was hoping to find an image of my Edel Putter in my swing thread here. I found the video of the 1st tee shot at Moon Valley from 2015.  Whooo man, that backswing, 🤣 Man, I had faster hips and more mobile hips back then. I could get the hips open prior to impact.

      Yea, I think it is just human nature. It could be subconscious as well.  The studies on Belief Perseverance, Cognitive Dissonance, Confirmation Bias, Motivated Reasoning are all interesting topics in psychology.  Being that people are probably on a spectrum regarding how susceptible they are to these behaviors; I am not shocked by his response. It helps me cope with this sort of thing as well. I am like; Oh, they can't help it. Honestly, they probably can't with out some sort of major pattern changes in how they process information. I wish, I would be like 80-lbs lighter than I am now! 🤣 I am glad the GEARS avatar doesn't blow up in size to match the person's outline.

      Nailed that one right on the head. Force the data to match the theory, not the other way around. Come on people!
