I just went to GG and had a golf ball fitting. I was feeling good about it until some guy told me that everyone that he has talked to about have this ended up with the same golf ball.(callaway tour ix). Has anyone else done this and had the same outcome? I normaly play pro v1, but after this fitting it has my top 5 golf balls:

preformance balls
1.callaway tour ix
2.nike one black
3.callaway tour i
4. pro v1
5. nike one platinum

standard balls
1. slazenger/rd speed distance
2. top flite d2 dist.
3.top flite d2 feel
4. slaz rd/ tour speed
5.precept/dist iq-180

my buddies and i had pretty good experiences with GG ball fittings...
SS... trajectories... compression... feel... etc etc...
we all came away with different ball recommendations...
i dont have the fastest swing speed/ball speed and i tend to have a slice everynow and then with a medium to high trajectory...
one of my buddies was the opposite... the other was kinda in between...
i settled on the bridgestones and taylormades

i have had the club fitting and ball fitting from GG. i can tell you the club fitting was worth every penny. They had me switch my shaft and it was the instant feed back. I guess I will know about the balls when it warms up a bit here, I am going to try a couple of the top balls and see how they preform.

Seems like the Callaway tour ix comes up a whole lot. My swing speed is 125 and thats the ball that came up for me. By the way I can't stand that ball. Check out the Srixon line. I play the Z-Star X. Better feel, distance and durability than the Prov1 x I think.

I couldnt agree with you more!!! The ix is a TERRIBLE ball IMHO.

The ix was the first ball that I tossed from my golf ball test this year. It felt way to hard. The Tour i feels pretty firm as well.

Sounds like its a product movement thing... Notice their house brands were 2 or 3 spots on the standard ball list.

BTW, Check out the bridgestone 330 line. I stumbled on a Tour 330 at the course a few weeks back and loved it. I'm switching to them full time as soon as I get through my last dozen Hotbites.

Wow, I don't think that's the case at all. I played the ix last year and liked it a lot. The only reason I switched was I got a great deal on last year's Pro V1...otherwise, I would still be gaming the Callys. They last longer than the Pro V1s and I get about 5 yards more on my drive. They do click a little more, but nothing I couldn't live with.

My friend plays the callaway tour ix, he like them but he did say its a harder ball. i was thinking about trying that ball, nike one black,bridgston tour b330. they all were real close in distance, but it showed the callaway with alot more carry. it did show the brigestone tour b330 with alot less accuracy then the black and callaway

i've done the Bridgestone challenge a couple of times and each time the Pro V1x comes out on top. the tour b330 was about the same but the v1x gave me a little more distance. the others spun a little too much for me.

In My Bag:
Driver: R9 TP 9.5°
Hybrids: Idea Pro, 16°, 20°, VS Proto
Irons: TP MB 4-P
Wedges: Vokey SM 50.08 54°, 60°Putter: NP2

    • Its simple, YOU are responsible for reporting YOUR score correctly, at every level of golf.  Do you imagine a top pro would really trust anyone else with his score? Without getting too far from the original post, the Rules have been revised every 4 years for decades.  They're continually evaluated, and most changes are in response to changes within the game.  BTW, if wind blows your ball off the green before you've lifted and replaced it, you play from wherever it ends up.  The TV call ins weren't a rule of golf issue, they were a PGA Tour issue, all in an effort to get the call right.  
    • Someone asked what I propose. I think if the bunker is full of rainwater, you get to drop it with no penalty directly in back of the bunker, so you still have a tricky shot of chipping over the bunker. People are talking about local committees and such which we just don’t have at our level. My league and playing partners gave the free drop with no issue. My original purpose of this post was just to understand what the “real” rule is, and I now know. But now I also want to encourage people to see that many long time golf rules are outdated and illogical, and hopefully encourage people to push for change. They made some changes in the last few years, so I’m hopeful the game I love will improve if enough people speak out. A lot to hope for posting in a little forum I know, but you have to start somewhere.
    • You get a penalty stroke because your local committee didn't do their job, they didn't address the specific conditions using the tools available to them within the Rules.  The rulemakers contemplated just this situation, bunkers being so filled with Temporary Water that they're unplayable.  The only way to address it "fairly" is to allow free relief outside the bunker, and they do NOT want to allow that on an everyday basis.  So they write the rules as it is, and allow the Committee to override the normal rule in the rare instance where the bunker really is full.  That's what your "local league" does, they invoke Model Local Rule F-16, which treats flooded bunkers as both GUR and as General Area.  Relief from GUR in the General Area allows relief in the General Area (i.e. outside the re-defined bunker).  Its quite a logical way to approach a relatively rare situation. Separately, consider your concern about temporary Water in the fairway.  I've seen situations in relatively level fairways where the Nearest Point of Complete Relief  from Temporary Water is 30 or 40 yards away, further from the green, even in the rough.   
    • There you go, @yungbuck6. Your hips aren’t really shifted forward and your head tips back. The camera angle isn’t good so what looks like hip slide could actually just be extension towards the ball.
    • But there's more to weight shift than just where you finish. How your weight transfers throughout the swing matters too.  But you're saying you can see it better than a device that can measure it? Got it.  Yeah I'm good here, good luck to whoever tries to coach you.
