I received a free sleeve of these balls and tried them last Friday. I must say that I absolutely love them. They have great control around the green, and a soft feel that forces me to slow my swing down and hit correctly. I was using the Titleist HP2 Tour but it just didn't feel right. Last year I played some Warbirds and had excellent success as well. I think I can safely say that my ball is a Callaway.

You must have not tried a Bridgestone ball yet. The E5+ and E6+ are awesome.

Haven't tried these yet, but I have just recently tried the HX HOT BITE. They are ok, but get shredded easy. VERY EASY. They feel comfortable and great, but they last about 2 or 3 holes.

How durable are the HX HOT?

I personaly tried the Bridgestone B330 RX over the weekend, and first off I didn't drop 10 strokes or found the cure all golf ball, but for myself, I got better flight off the clubs, driver and irons. Felt good greenside with the wedges, and ok off the putter face, but don't belive the add, hit on in the water out of a fairway bunker on a long par 5 then toe a wedge into the ground below the green and you can most certainly get a snowman on your score card. I will try them more as I work on my swing change's to see how both work out.

I've heard that the Bite's are softer than the std HX HOT. I played 9 holes with the same ball and it had one little slice in it about a 1/4" long. Nothing big enough to start coming apart or effect ball flight.

I've only played these on a few occaisions but noticed they were quite long and (pardon the pun) also "hot" off the face. What I didn't like about this ball was the sorter shots...100 and in, as well as chipping with it right around the green. That being said, it was surprisingly long.

The HX Hot Bite are alot softer than any other ball I have played. They feel great, but I would never spend $30 on them because they would prolly last me 1 round.

I have been hooked on the TaylorMade TP Red balls as of late. These things are suoer great! I love the distance and the softness it provides. It does wonders around the greens as well as my short game. Great ball IMO

    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
