Why not have the golf balls pre-gyroed? You know what i'm talking about?

Have each ball have the "AIM" line written across where the axis of the ball is. So before every ball is packaged, put it through a larger version of the ball gyro that is sold to us consumers. Its a great marketing idea! Do it!

Wouldn't that make the balls incredibly expensive? Who in their right mind would pay $60 for a dozen balls (nevermind, lots of people would.)

Actually, wouldn't the balls get out of round just from the jostling they took in shipping?

Except, testing has found that the "sweet spot" marked by those gizmos changes every time the ball is struck.

Can you provide a reference to this data? I would be interested in reading.

Driver: 400 SZ
Irons: Maltby custom fit KE4's
Sandwedge: Maltby Slider

Crap. I read it a couple of years ago, but I can't remember where now.

I will Google and see if it pops up again. EDIT: Sorry CT, I wasn't able to locate anything. My best recollection is that it was in one of those articles reviewing potential golf accessories for Christmas gifts. Not in Golf or Golf Digest magazines, but somewhere on a reputable website. I wish I could provide more info. Maybe someone who owns one could mark a ball, whack it hard a coupe of times with a driver and iron, and then see if the gizmo still marks it in the same place the second time?

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
