Has anyone in warm climates played the 2017 Chrome Soft X Golf Balls yet?

I picked up a dozen to hit in the simulator and it seems to be slightly longer (3-4 yards) than the 2016 Chrome Soft balls, but the compression is higher (90 vs 70) -- does that make sense?

No, sorry. My wife continuously supplies me with Callaway balls from Costco; she looks for anything that says "soft" on them. So I am finishing up with Hex Soft...Not sure of compression; 2 piece; long and straight. Love it! Now its Superhot 55...55 compression; 3 piece; even better! So I'll wager the 2017's are great. Let me know please. -Marv

    • @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.
    • Day 204 (22 Nov 24) - Weekly men’s group round today.  Temps in the upper 40’s, WNW winds 5-15mph - was the old man in the foursome (next youngest is my junior by 10yrs) - held my own against them.  Iron play getting more consistent -seeing predictable ball flights and distances. While the consistency coming around still had sone solid negatives as I had two dbls and one triple. On the plus side - eight pars and one birdie.  
    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
    • I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours
    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.
