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 be against the rules of golf in some way?

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
Others: random selection

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?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
