Stop being friends with him. Or next time you play with him, beat him really bad with the cheapest most beat-up ball you have. Hell, beat him with a range ball.

No, beat him with pink ladies balls. Just tell him you got them cheap, and while they aren't good enough to use in SERIOUS play, they are good enough to beat HIM with.

Yes...balls do make a difference. If you want a bargain, look for ones from 1 or 2 years ago. Here's an example... I love the Nike One Platinums, they came out with a new model this year. Therefore, I was able to find a bunch on sale at RockBottomGolf for $19 / dozen (last year these were selling for $39 / dozen retail and maybe $30-$35 if they were on sale).

They were brand new! Yes, there was a catch... I had to buy 6 dozen of them and they came in 2-ball trial packs. But, I also had a promo code from RockBottom (sign up for their email list, it pays off) for free shipping. I have balls for a while now.

But...they are soooo cute sitting on the shelf all in their own little 2-ball pack.

There's a ton of difference between Pro V1's and Super Fly's. That's the reason for the price difference.

Does that make you dumb for buying them? Of course not. It was a good deal. I would've bought them too.

Just tell him it's not how, it's how many.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
