I really wish they would do away with this little marketing scheme. I can't imagine they need it. The ball is literally the best tour quality ball I have tried in my opinion.

Yep, guaranteed I won't buy any more due the shadiness of it all, regardless of how much I might like them.

I'll wait until someone loses one and I find it. I never seem to run low on ProVs and if anyone has read my comments on the warrior thread, you would know I don't appreciate shady business tactics. As @cipher said, if the ball is so good, why use the crappy tactics. Being a stand alone ball manufacturer is a tough biz to get rolling. I don't see how these small companies survive. @iacas did you sign up for the free balls?

No. That offer didn't exist when I made the thread, and one of the perks of being me and our association is that I can usually wrangle two dozen balls out of them per year. :)

Just cancelled any further shipments.  However the girl offered to change to a dozen every 90 days for $29. I would have gone for it if they came in yellow.

Looks like I will never know. Not impressed with their CS when I called to cancel due to not receiving the balls. The person I spoke with said I should talk to the post office about not receiving the balls and said the best she could do was offer a refund of $10, right before she tried to sell me something else.

I think you should talk with your credit card company to have the charges canceled.

Finally received one of the missing dozen and tried them on Sat. Hadn't touched a club in months but the balls felt good. I played two balls, my regular ball and the X, on the front to make a comparison. Honestly I couldn't feel or see any differences because for whatever reason it was the best I felt swinging a club all year so most every duplicate shot was similar. The sound was a little different on the putter but the greens funky after the thawing snow, no consistency. On the back I just used the Kick X and it performed well in lower temps and wind. It would be the ball for me if I could buy it in stores but the slow shipping times is a deal breaker. The dozen I got last week was ordered more than two months ago and they still owe me another.

A buddy of mine got some of these given to him.   He was passing them out today so we could all try them out.   Out of the four of us, nobody was impressed.   At the end of the round, he offered the whole dozen to anyone that wanted it and nobody took him up on it.

Odd. It's the ball I choose to play and I get Pro V1x, B330, etc. free or really inexpensive if I want.

Tell him I'll take them. :)

I knew you played them because of your posts about them.   When I saw he had them, I said I had heard they were a really good ball.   As a 16hcp I wasn't really surprised that it wasnt a good fit for me but I was a little surprised the other guys (two 4's and a 3) said they didn't like it.   You just nailed the balls they play (well the one of the 4's and the 3 actually play the Pro V1, not the x).  I should see him Tuesday, I will ask him what he is going to do with them.

Im not much better than you and I absolutely love the Kick X.  For me they seemed to spin just as much as the pro V's but seemed longer off the tee.  The thing that I really care about is how the ball feels off my putter and the Kick X feel as good as anything Ive ever played.

    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
