So I had some store credit at my local store and I didnt know what to get but I saw the deal on the callaway hex blacks 27.30 per dozen. I couldn't pass it up so I got a dozen. A few days prior my bro told me he got me a dozen pro v's and hell bring em over soon. I hadn't opened the callaways yet when I was playing a round with some old nxt balls. I came across a guy selling balls out of the back of his truck inbetween two parts of a course where you cross a street. well 8 dollars for a dozen z stars were too good to pass up especially in optic yellow. First drive with the z star crushed down the middle 295 yards ish wind aided.(best drive of the day).

Now about the z star. I only hit it once good off the tee yesterday. Same ish distance pretty straight down the middle but what I am curious about is that I never had a chip shot that checked up like the pro v would have. Granted I played terribley yesterday. I didnt notice I had a 9 iron that spinned back about a foot from a divot but is the lack of greenside control due to the ball or my bad play? now I am comparing these to the pro v's I usually use so its kind of relative.

I also cant wait to use the hex blacks and compare em to pro v's side by side

Much like you I've only hit a Zstar once, I found one and thought what the hell.  It was great off the tee but didn't have the same feel around the green.  It may be the ball, not sure since I didn't play a full round with it.  I've always gotten more spin out of ProV's and even more out of Nike Tour's.

I never tried nike tours but I found 20xi-x's for 36 a dozen once. felt good but not quite the check of pro v's. Lately I started a new saying. "PRO V ME!" when my ball is looking like its gonna go past the hole and I need it to check up or slow down.

I've found so many Pro Vs around the course lately; they're really great to play with. A few more rounds and I will have a few more sleeves of them.

I have one a whi and it as probably lasted 6 roundsof provisional shots and a hole round at a par 54 course. I really like them but I am kind of a titleist ***** so I am trying not to be biased when I compare the callaways and z stars.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
