Last weekend I played some old E6 I have and another golfer casually flipped me crap about the yellow. I didn't know you could get teased for this. I think he was trying to be funny... I guess I still have a lot to learn about this game. The SuperSoft comes in even more "outrageous" colors like (gasp) pink... I played E6 all last year and it does check a little bit before releasing a few feet. It is straighter and a longer for me than comparable balls. However, I did not like the feel on putts and chips, so I switched balls for 2016. The E6 will do for me in a pinch, but I would not buy them again. I bought one (1) sleeve of Supersoft to try them and I did not like them. All I can say positive about Supersoft was I seemed to hit a bit longer with my irons. I also hit some out of control shots with Supersoft. Some people swear by them. They did not work for me.

I'm exactly in the same boat

Thank you for the warm welcome guys.

Hello Everyone, I have been playing golf about one (1) year. I don’t have an official handicap, but consider myself a “bogie” golfer. Last week I broke 100 and 90 for the first time on the same day (89) which I am very proud of. The short game is the strength of my game. Short game practice is free, so I practice as much as I dare. I can two-putt and scramble with the best of them. Ball striking is the most inconsistent part of my game. I often struggle to clear my hips, resulting in a weak arm swing. I have taken a couple of lessons from a PGA Pro and I am getting better through practice. It is mostly a mental block for me. I can hit high beautiful draws at the range, but the minute something goes wrong during a round, I tense up and revert to arm swings. My goal is to develop a consistent and repeatable swing. I figure if I can do that, the scoring will come. I have been coming here to the Sandtrap for advice and opinions since last year. Some of the threads I have read multiple times. Only now that my game is improving did I feel brave enough to join the conversation. But mostly I hope to continue to learn from all of you.
