I'd be interested in trying out the B330-RXS. Barring another polar vortex, there should be some reasonable golfing weather in Atlanta soon.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

I'm going to assume that having 6 inches of snow on the course would disqualify an individual from participating here unless they're specifically looking to test properties of the ball for Canadian and/or Arctic markets.

I'm game for testing, but would like a softer ball because of the cold weather. It gets down to the low 50s in the morning.

I'd love to do this but would someone in NY be considered?

Did you read the first post? ;-) Unless you're planning on making a golf trip down South, then it's going to be tough to test the balls.

I actually am.

I'm planning on taking a trip down south from Albany to NYC where the golf courses are open year around. :dance:

In all seriousness, though, didn't know if testing in 30-40 degree weather would be considered.

Here are the requirements:

- Looking for members that are in climates where they can test now.

- US Resident.

1) I live in Oklahoma - golf year round.  Jan-Feb can be in the 30s but also as high as the 70s (rarely).  I play as long as they let me out.

2) Yes.

3)  I got:

# 1 TOUR B330-S 50.00%

# 2 e6 50.00%

Either one would be fine.

I'll send a PM.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By snapfade ·

      Thats the second hardest hole so bogey is ok. How do you do on the number 1 hardest hole?

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By GolfLug ·

      Ah, target golf off the tee and all the way to the hole always grinds my gears, This is not a terribly long hole so here's my two cents: Job #1 is to put yourself in play. Job #2 is to keep yourself in play. If hitting a driver is such a crap shoot then you are already betting on lower than 50-50 odds. Hit a hybrid and take your chances with a long iron, punch or whatever. Stick to your plan and accept your result knowing you did.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      Ah, got it.  Yeah I'd just play it for bogey. Even as a low handicap I wouldn't be all that upset with a bogey on that hole.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By 4zim ·

      Haha I made a I typo. I was thinking two things at once, ‘I don’t think bogey is a bad score’ and ‘I think bogey is a great score’. But I mixed them up and said the opposite

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By klineka ·

      How isn't bogey a great score? As a 20 handicap every single time you make a bogey you are playing better than expected. Because if you bogeyed every hole you'd most likely be lower than a 20. You're a high handicap playing a hole that is lined with hazards the entire length of it on both sides.  Bogey is a very solid score for you on that hole.  From 300yds off the tee PGA tour players average 3.71 strokes to hole out. As a high handicap you are going to be more than 1 full stroke higher than that, probably closer to 2 full strokes higher.  If you had 100 different 20 handicaps play that hole I would bet a lot of money that the scoring average is greater than 5.0 Sometimes courses have really hard holes. Play for your bogey, be ecstatic about a par, and do everything possible to minimize double bogey.
