Okay I stumbled upon this:

Callaway is claiming longer carry than PRO V1. Okay, that may be possible. But they are also claiming more consistent... hmm....???

It could be something like 0.1% better and they can make that claim. 

If the golf ball has good quality control, all premium golf balls perform about the same when you consider human testing. Robot testing you can fiddle with it to get some results you want.

The claims are based on using a GCQuad? They don't even measure more than a few feet of ball flight, and the rest is an algorithm. Meh.

I feel like this pretty much has to be the case.

I tried, albeit briefly, to find out how they came up with that claim. This is the only thing I found... which is nothing.

If anyone has a link to Callaway's testing, I'd love to know how they tested and what the results were/are.

If you need to claim and try to convince people that you are the best ball in the market then you are probably not. ProV1 is never going to compare themselves to other brand.

True, at least here in Argentina Coke is Number 1 by far.
Pepsi is always the one trying to compare themselves to Coke.

Despite that, I love the commercial from 2001 were a little boy purchase 2 cans of coke from a spending machine in order to stand over them so he can reach the Pepsi button.

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I know it is probably dependent on a lot of factors, but how windy does it have to be out before you need to start guessing on how much it would influence the break of your putt?  When I played at Bandon, it was like 25-30 mph winds. The caddies talked about the wind negating break. The only time I had it visually influence my putt was on hole 18 at Bandon Dunes. My missed my putt on the high side of a pretty severe breaking putt. The slope around the hole was in the 2-3 degree range. As the ball was about to come to a stop, the wind gusted and pushed the ball half a rotation into the cup.  The rest of the week I thought it had no influence at all. I was thinking, is it just over thinking to try to account for the wind?

      Day 310 - 2025-08-06 Went downtown in the late afternoon and got nearly two hours of work in. Not a ton of breaks. Was blasting the TS at the end, from a HomePod and two TVs. 😄

      I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.

      So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.
