The larger head is suppose to have a larger sweet spot but I don't think it's the club so much as the one that is swinging it. My son hits the ball out of sight and he hits a Great Big Bertha with the small head. I like my Cubic Balance and the head is a little larger than his. The big heads bother me mentally wise. I have the feeling it costs me clubhead speed. Probably nonsense but this game is mostly mental.

Golf is not a game, it's a way of life!

The sweet spot is technically smaller than a pinhead. It's ONE precise point. You can tease that point out into a larger "zone" that feels pretty good, but technically, the sweet spot is always one very, very, very, very small spot.

Bigger heads are typically more forgiving - mishitting them doesn't result in as much twisting, however. Twisting costs you distance (as you no doubt have noticed the times you've caught one really far towards the toe or heel).

      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.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      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
