Callaway Investing $50 Million Into Its Ball Plant After ...

 

We've all seen this.   I don't believe you can single out any major ball manufacturer and say in a general statement they are all bad.  I'm sure people have personal preferences and to some degree some are better than others but.. we all hope and pray that the golf balls we purchase will fly a few yard straighter and farther than the previous shot.

My golf buddy purchased 5 dozen recently and has played them the past couple of seasons. Was a real fan. His club pro (new club for him), bashed them and basically all direct to consumer balls like the Snells I usually play. He says the cores are not always centered and that he is losing 15 to 20 yards. 
So now he is trying to unload dozens of vice balls.

A guy who runs a pro shop hates DTC (direct to consumer) golf balls? Go figure!

That has to be of psychosomatic origins. I have hit some of my biggest drives of the year with the Pro Plus and almost think they are 1/4 club longer on the approach irons. But hey, the pro has very limited resale opportunities in his shop but ball shaming is a new one!

    • Day 9: did a stack session. Worked on some slow mapping swings during rest breaks. 
    • Better late than never.  I got The Stack System over 2 years ago.  Problems with ruptured tendon and bone-on-bone knee stopped me from using it.  Foot was a year to full recovery.  Had the knee done in January.  This weekend was first full swings in quite a while, With spring here (at least according to the calendar) I’m finally going to do the program.  It’s 32 degrees with flurries tonight so I’m not sure exactly when I will start but should be soon.  
    • Day 29  (6 Apr 26) - Snuck  a few balls with the 6i while waiting for the local school tournament golf match to start.  Worked on tempo - starting with 1/2 swings working to full while working the ball slightly from side to side. 
    • Day 230 4-6 worked on wrist arching in downswing and hips. Going slooow today. Hit foam balls.
