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...

Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

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.

      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?
