Has anyone tried the new TaylorMade Burner balls; that is the ones that sell for $19.95 per dozen. I tried them recently and was pleasantly surprised by their performance.

I was surprised because I thought they would be hard as rocks. I found the ball to be as long as most other balls I've used and not bad at all around the green, certainly not a rock at all. At $19.95 per dozen, I think they are a good buy compared to other balls that offer similar performance at a higher price.

I agree. I tried the Burner balls and really liked them, but they didn't quite have the short game control that I wanted, so I tried the Burner TPs. They are just as long as the Burners and have excellent spin around the green, and for $5 more they are still a very good value. I recommend you try them.

I received three free boxes of the Burners and, when I work through them, I will certainly give the Burner TPs a try. I agree that, while they are not the hardest ball around the green, they are not the softest either. I have been able to adjust to them, however. I do look forward to trying the TPs.

I may try the Burner TPs before the end of the season, but for now I've been stocking up on last season's TP Black. Because TM changed the balls, you can get pretty good deals on last year's TP. One local golf shop here is selling last year's TP Blacks as buy-one-get-one. So you get two dozen for $40. You can't beat $20 a dozen on tour level balls!

You're right, $20 per dozen for tour balls is pretty hard to beat.

Yeah, just check around. I know some of the "bigger chain" stores have last year's TPs at a lower price too. Dick's and Golf Galaxy, for instance, have them priced at $30.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
