I've been a Ping guy for pretty much my whole life. The Nike VR line caught my eye. I started with the VR Pro Cavity Irons. Love. Everything has since been replaced. I am not a huge fan of the 20Xi-X, however. A bit firmer than I like.

I've been toying around with new balls all season. DT SoLo, Pro-V1, One Tour D, Vapor Black, NXT, 20Xi-X, and I have to say, I really like the PD Soft. About a month ago I really had it going, shot 79, 80, 83, etc, then really started struggling again. Shot 91, 87, 91, 90 in my last four rounds. Then yesterday, was 7 over after 5 holes. I pulled out a PD Soft, and it was like the switch went back on. Bogey on 6, par on 7, birdied 8 and 9 to go out in 42. Came in 42 as well. I have a 95 MPH driver swing speed and I may indeed be losing 5-10 yards with the driver, I'm seeing no such distance loss with the irons. My tendancy (like so many of us) is to slice the driver, 3 wood and 3 Hybrid. The PD Soft really seemed to help. It's feels great off the face, and I think it's underrated around the greens. I hit some great green side shots yesterday en route to that 84. I'm an 11, I'll take an 84 every time. I'm going to play them again this weekend, and see what's what.
