I just started playing and could not for the life of me remember what kinda ball I was htting, due to the fact that I lose quite a few. I started drawing funny pictures or writing little sayings on them to 1. just have some fun with it, and 2. so i knew which ball was mine.

Today I sat down with my daughter, a handful of markers and some golf balls and went to town on balls that no one will mistake as theres. I would also like to see what marks yall make on yours just for fun.

Thats pretty cool! :)

Although, for me...thats a hell of a lot of effort to put in to a ball thats generally only going to last one shot :)

Cool work on the balls. I just put a simple black dot on my ball. I've been doing that for 30 years.

Kute.....If I am not mistaken, I think it was Duffy Waldorf that used to get pretty creative in his ball markings.

I've noticed that the 2013 ProV1's and X's each have the Titleist logo printed on almost the exact same spot (in relation to dimple patterns) on every ball. This made me very happy and I started putting one dot on each side of the Titleist logo. Before I just would pick one dot somewhat underneath the number.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
