I used the NXT's for a while before playing the AD333's and changed straight away, I do prefer the srixon's hands down but am partial to likeing the softness of the Pro V1's, I might try the Trispeeds or event splash out on some penta's to try the higher end ball but at my handicap I wouldnt even notice the dif! :)

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. "Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

To be fair, there probably isn't a bad ball out there, but there sure are a lot of people who think product x is crap while product y is superior to all others.



Im going to have to disagree, sorry. There is a definite difference in golf ball production, especially between the higher end and medium range balls. Materials used, cores used, etc…

I hate the "handicap" excuse. People use it a little too much like a crutch. Give yourself some credit. Anyone who plays golf consistently should be able to "feel" the difference in most medium to premium golf balls. IF and when you can hit the ball in the same spot of the club face consistently you should definitely be able to "feel" the differences in certain balls.

In my Ogio bag.

Titleist 910D2 driver, Adams irons & hybrid, Callaway wedges & a Nike Method putter.

And a yellow ball.

I can feel the differences but all I am saying is at my handicap there is not a lot of change to the way I play at this time, thats not an excuse :)

I played a round or two with the Srixon Z Star Tour last year and was pleased with the results.  The ball is soft and durable.  I picked up a box of the Z Star Tour Yellow balls over the winter and am looking forward to trying them out next month.  Hopefully I play well -- I feel like if you are playing golf with a yellow golf ball, you better be good!


Do only certain stores carry Srixon clubs and other gear? I see the golf ball line in stores but I have never seen a club in a Golfsmith, Dicks, Sports Authority or when I was at Martins PGA Superstore in SC.

I have seen Srixon irons and woods offered in the area, but I can't remember where. Wish you had asked a week ago when I was headed to the Golf Expo. I could have looked for them, and asked vendors if the handled Srixon clubs.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I probably should have also asked if anyone uses Srixon irons, woods, or hybrids. Or do you know anyone who does? And of course how do you like them? Or not like them

    • Lots of people messaging about one or both days. As @iacas said, we will give preference to people who can play both, but as long as we stay under 16 we can accommodate both.    I will need to pay in advance, so I’ll send a message this weekend with details on that and some sort of tracker for who is playing when.    Can’t wait!
    • My bad, 98 club head speed, and 132-133 ball speed.  Yea yea, show-off 😛 
    • Day 291: did some mirror work, working on feels from my drill - weight forward before the backswing ends and wrist stuff.  
    • Nope. 😄 Also, here's my 6I:
    • Went up to Erie for a golf lesson with @iacas Two and a half items 1) Shorter backswing (hello old friend) - Feel mostly turn only, straight arms, stop backswing when golf shaft is vertical to ground (I might make this more of a turn feel or arm position feel), slight pause.  *Video Check - Hands do not get behind my head and the club is at a 45-degree angle from parallel on the face-on view.  2) Downswing - Feel the downswing being arms only. Send hands out away from body to neutral out swing path. The body will turn. The key is going to feel the pause to set up the feel of arms down. If I turn first and add right elbow bend, I am screwed.  *This one might be difficult to check on video. The feel right now is very distinct. I was very much a turn the body first, then lower the club with both the arms and side bend.  When you don't do any of that, you can feel it. I feel way taller through impact as well.  2.5) Straighten left knee sooner. Pushing my left hip up and back by pressing into the ground with my left heel. Kind of something to work own, but not necessarily a priority right now.  Shot Shape versus Feel Straight shots (slight draws) will feel like slight pulls for now. I was hitting 5 yard pulls, and it felt like I was going to miss the green left.  Just perception versus reality. I got plenty of ingrained intuition of what a good shot shape is for a path that is heading 6+ degrees out. The new path is going to be like 1-3 degrees out, maybe close to neutral if I really exaggerate the feel. That is a pretty big change in path. The feel through impact is just different.  On a side note, I was hitting my 7 iron like 8 yards farther. 🤯. I am kind-of scared when I use my legs better. It's probably due to the following. 1) De-lofting the club better because the arms are getting down better. 2) Presenting better launch conditions (15-16 VLA, 5900 rpm, 115-Ft peak height, 98 mph ball speed, 1.34 smash factor, 193 carry).  3) I was probably using my legs a bit better because I don't need to keep the left knee flexed. It wasn't like I was trying to be very dynamic in using the ground for power.   Chipping & Pitching Much more straight back and up feel for both pitching and chipping. Lots more shoulder tilt in the backswing, and keeping the weight on the left side during the downswing and through impact. I need to pivot left and up, not re-transfer my weight back to the right side. I need to take a way shorter backswing. I was able to hit those low spinners. I may need to invest into some new golf balls at some point this year.  *A good drill for me would be to set up facing a wall, and feel like the club goes up the wall. It won't, but it gets the club on a much better swing arc. I was actually trying to picture that a wall was right on the other side of the ball and I had to swing up the wall while hitting some shots today.
