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 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well.

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
