I have a slow swing speed since I'm young. I hear the e6's are good for slow swing speeds.I get free prov1's. Is it worth buying e6's or should I stick with prov1's?

If you get ProV1s for free, it takes the cost per ball out of the equation, so stick with them (or at least stick with something)

Pro V1s could be hurting you since you have a slow swing though.  You may find that you get more distance with a ball that is more low spin.  You might want to try a ball like the Bridgestone E7 or really any ball in the $20 a dozen range.

The ProV1s should be good. My son also uses them.

In the uk there are pro v1 & pro v1x One of them is softer for a slower swing speed, but I forgetwhich one, as I only play Bridgestone.

Free is good!  Do you get all Titleist balls for free, or just the ProV1's?  If it's all Titleist balls, you might also try some of their other offerings.....maybe the DT Solo as a first option.

Failing that, the ProV1's may not be right for your game.  If you find something you like better, maybe a lower spin ball that gives you some extra distance, I'll bet you can find some barter opportunities. I'd be happy to buy, and swap you a dozen of just about any ball you like, in exchange for a dozen ProV1's.......and I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a bunch of others willing to do the same locally!

I second the vote for DT Solos. I like them because the don't spin too much but still stick the greens pretty well.

      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?
