Kick Point and oversized ball

[TheNatural]

I have just been sized, shafted and measured, and have been left wanting.......to play golf that is.

Got a deal on 2 drivers, my old club head and a duplicate RX5 Taylor Made head which is brand new, but old model.

Golfsmith pro is making a mid kick and high kick shaft for each club.. which one would be better suited for a windy day? wet grass? or which would be better suited for greatest distance?>

Also I played with a guy who used an oversized ball, its size was barely noticeable but it said on the ball "oversized" NIKE i think.. what is the advantage?

Windy day you want to keep the ball low so the high kickpoint shaft will give you low ball flight. For wet grass i guess i would go with the other shaft because you will get more air time and with wet grass you know you won't get any roll.

The oversized ball is a Nike Junior EZ Distance - I wouldn't play with that guy for money unless by guy you mean a dude less than 12 because that just feels like cheating. Maybe next time suggest he Tee off from the next box up and play with a real ball...

Hmmm, sorry just grabbed the first link: possible they make two kinds but I think they just didn't state the oversized part in the other link, try this one...

TheNatural,

I would not worry too much about kick points and the like. Hitting the ball consistently is what will make the most difference in distance and score. What most people do when it gets windy or conditions are tough they try harder...grip the club tighter and change their swing. If you will just keep your swing smooth and your grip firm but make sure you do not have tension in your swing but swing fluidly. This is what will lower your scored the most and will do it the quickest.

How would an oversized ball be an advantage?

I remember the Robin Hood cheater balls that were slightly undersized.
