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

, 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.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
