When I first got my 20XI-S' I was doubting them to be worth their high price tag in comparison to a PRO V1. I'm a HUGE fan of the Bridgestone E6 (dual dimple) so I tried to play them both side by side today as best as possible. We played at http://www.trinitasgolf.com and it was my first day with the Callaway Razr Hawk 9.5* Stiff Aldila Rip Shaft. I was a little worried how I would do off the tee as I am a higher handicap and I was using a new ball and new driver. The hole we opened on was a 435 yard par 4. The fairway was split about 3/4 of the way down, with an elevated green. I addressed the ball and gave it a good rip. CRUSHED. I had never hit a ball so far or so straight in my life. It came to a stop past the fairway in the second cut in line with the 100 yd marker. 335 YARDS OFF THE TEE?!?!?! Distance, CHECK. I noticed throughout the day that ball did what you wanted it to do. When I wanted to hit a draw, it drew. When I wanted it to stop and plug the green, it did. When I wanted to bump and close to the hole, it did.

I REALLY like this ball, but the E6 played very well, too. I think that for my budget I will play the E6 but I will definitely treat myself to a box of 20XI-S' every chance I get.

And for comparison, I found a pro v1x on the course, it didn't come off the driver nearly as hot as the 20XI.

So for me the 20XI is a great performer. I give it a 9 out of 10. I would give it a ten if it was 10 dollars cheaper per dozen!

I also bought a box of the Nike. I usually play the E6 and found the two balls side by side to have two totally different feels. I liked the Nike but if when I am going to play a ball as highly priced as the Nike I will be playing a ProV1.

I do have a hookup at Sports Authority I can get them 25 percent off, but even at that I don't know that they are 20 dollars better than the e6. Overall the e6 is a solid performer.

oh my score was terrible, but when i the ball striking was good it seemed like ball went where i wanted it, or did what i wanted it to do. I know how to put a draw on the ball and what not, im learning short chip shots, but overall I have a LOT to work on.

I was just a little surprised to hear a few of those things for a 22 handicap.  Sounds like you are on the verge of shaving some off that handicap...

      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.
