I currently use ths srixon AD333 and have seen my handicap come down, currently of 11, but I dont seem to get the reaction I want on the greens that other players seem to get! Should I upgrade to a PRO V or something similar ?

What ball were you using previously? How far has your handicap dropped and in what timeframe since using the Srixon ball? Is it still dropping or have you leveled off at an 11? If it's still coming down then something is working for you - let it ride. Is green side spin action an obstacle to your improving further?

The Srixon AD333 is a two piece ball.  Middle of the road.

A better ball can help your game, just depends on what you want, where you think a different ball would help.

My ball flight tends to be high into greens with my short irons and I get little back spin and I get no check on bumb and run shots. However I do realise it could just be my technique

My suggestion would be to pick up a sleeve of balls you would like to try and compare them side by side, hole by hole.

Played correctly Bump and run shouldn't have any check. :-P

Also, some advocate when testing a new ball to start at the green and work your way back to the tee.

ie: test it on the green, how does it feel off the putter?

Chip and pitching:  fell good, get what you want or no not really.

You get my drift?

It's all feel, your feel, you have to decide.

Good luck

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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?
