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.

Try here.

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

, thanks...

too much bread for balls... those prices are almost unbearable

quite frankly, the only thing I could afford on that site is a headcover

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.

      The course is playing tough. We’re only about 50 miles away. It very windy here and going to get worse. They’re all dressed like it’s the British Open!

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      The way to practice this is not at full speed, even if you do manage to "change" something. But no, not quite like that. That's a late lift, but you still have the early roll, and you stand up too much in that swing (likely in trying to "lift" — the "lift" is relative to your torso, not the ground).
