how do these balls play in the wind? does the LDP really make a difference? I'm in Hawaii, so I always play in windy conditions, so any ball that plays well in the wind is a winner.

You can really notice the LDP working on mishits.
You can hit it bad and it maybe loses 1 or 2 yards.
I don't play in to much wind so I am not sure there, but Im sure it works.

Where in Hawaii do you live?

On topic: I have heard from a friend in Washington that they do work well in the wind and that they hold their line well.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Big improvement on their first release. Seem to be far more consistent, a lot more feel and feedback but also improved performance. I believe that the TM staffers who were 'forced' to switch are much happier with the improved balls. Black and Red also offer a greater alternative to each other than first time around.

TM seem to have invested in their own patents and technology which can only be good for the ball market in general.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
