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....???

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

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'd have a hard time believing its more than that.

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 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.

      Bummer, they sure are hiding that info well. I didn't see it and read "prior generation" as old model.

      Short Putts and Partial Wedges Are Killing My Game

      By iacas ·

      Sorry for the very quick responses… busy night here, but I wanted to add quickly to what @Ty_Webb said: Control the distance of the swing by controlling the length of the backswing, not the speed with which you hit it.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      This is me trying to fingerprint my tubb-cheeks against the wall. The instinct to extend up through the impact is overpowering. Will continue internalizing with the wall drill.

      Short Putts and Partial Wedges Are Killing My Game

      By Ty_Webb ·

      With the putts, are they coming up short of the hole? Or just missing low side, but going 10-15 inches past the hole? Generally speaking I think long putting is about speed control, while short putting is more about start line. Both matter to both types obviously, but I think that's where the more weight lives. If you're struggling on short putts but not long ones, I'd imagine that's more likely a starting line issue. Might be read or might be aim or might be stroke. If you're leaving the short ones short of the hole, then hit them harder. You don't want to be accelerating into impact. Just make sure your back swing is long enough for the speed you're hitting it. For the wedges, I'll be interested to hear what people say because I have similar issues sometimes. Last fall, hit a good drive on a fairly short par 4. Had 60 yards in. Hit my second. Then had 50 yards in because I laid the sod over it. Then I had 40 yards back from the other side because I over corrected and bladed it over the green. Happens to the best of us 🙂
