I don't know the official name of it. Long story short, I was playing at Bali Hai last week. I was going into the 6th at 3 under & having an amazing round (I blew it and shot and 84) but during our 20 minute wait, the Japanese couple that I was playing with that was as you can tell...straight from Japan (extremely courteous people, bowing when we met, etc) were looking at my clubs. The guy was like how do you like the clubs (took me a while to decipher), and I was like they're AMAZING. He went to his bag & pulled out a sleeve of balls and said I work for Mizuno. You try..you try.
I used 1 ball for the rest of the round & DAMN, it's actually a pretty good ball. it plays like a cross b/t a NXT Tour and ProV. It's not as soft, but it has a great ball flight that fights the wind and was pretty easy to compress. My shots were about 5 yards longer on avg with each club b/c I ended up going driver, hybrid to get on a par 5 in 2 (still 3 putted for par...terrible), but if anyone knows where to get more of these suckers, I'd definitely play this ball again.

Yep. That's where I'm at right now. I'm guessing it's one of the Cross Eight Tour balls? DJYoshi, if you find it there, please notify what ball model it is

Thats a cool story. I never knew that Mizuno made their own balls. Kinda pricey though. I cringe enough at paying $45 a dozen for Nike One Platinums or Titleist ProV1s.

it wasn't even any of the ones on the site. The lettering on the balls were gold with the mizuno mark being blue. I had no idea they were that expensive.
They felt GREAT. I should've asked the guy for a business card! This guy kept on loosing balls...he'd calmly go in his bag, and drop another. maybe they were a proto and he had his hands on them..but he dropped at least 10 balls that day...maybe even more... his wife was playinig mizuno balls too.... it makes me want to call Bali Hai and ask for the couple's last name. The 1st name was funny.... Yoshi. go figure

Well, if he works for Mizuno he probably got the balls for free or very cheaply, so to him it was nothing to drop 10 balls.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
