Hello all. My name's Charlie, I live in North-East England. Having played golf irregularly earlier in my life, other priorities meant that I hadn't played at all for nearly ten years. But having been fortunate enough to retire a little early, I decided in January to return to the game aged 59 and devote some time to trying to learn how to do it properly. The backswing is a little shorter than it used to be, I find I can't hit the driver more than about 240 yards, and I am battling an irritatiing tendency to push everything out to the right, but so far it has been fun and I seem to be making progress. There seems to be a lot of useful information and advice here, so I'm looking forward to participating in the forum.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
    • I've played the Tour in both white and yellow.  They play well and seem to hold up pretty good even when running into trees or cart paths.  Right now, I've been trying them against the Bridgestone Tour B RX ball and I really like both.  The Snell 3.0 looks to be a great update to the issues Snell was running into with the previous generation.
