  1. I just be polite. Thanks, I'll have to check that out at my next Range/practice session.

  3. I keep 3-4 different brands for those days I'm not doing so good and blame it on the brand of ball i'm using....... Can't be me !!!!! The only time I use ProV1s is when I find them........
  4. 3rd time out - ended with an 86 and was very happy with that !!!!!! If I can start the season like that, I might finally break into the 70s this year !!!!! Still a bit muddy on the course. we'll see how it goes !!!!!! Heck, it's all about just getting out and about anyway !!!
  5. I like and use the Yellow E12s, haven't tried the E12 Contact yet.......... Best way to find out - Buy a box, see how YOU like them.
  6. I did that at an Austads. Told them I needed to see if a different set up could help me out from what I had. Tried 6-7 different driver/shaft combinations and they told be they could only gain me about 5 yards and cost me about $500.00. So I bought a box of balls.......
  7. I don't hit it far enough to worry about divots.........
  8. When along with others, I try to be the kind of person I wouldn't mind golfing with..........
  9. Time for winter to be over, I had a dream last night that I shot an 19......... Missed the hole by 3 inches on the back 9 490 yd par 5.........
  10. Well, my swing speed is about 95 + - a few........ So far I've liked the Pinnacle and the E12 the best...... I'll have to experiment a little more with the ProV1s.... Thanks.........
  11. So, what happens when the impact parameters are different, like, 115mph swing speed at impact and 85mph swing speed at impact. Which ball would be better to use? Terms like fly further and stay in the air longer seem to be the same outcome, just worded differently.
  12. Golf ball compression is important because it affects the distance and control that you will gain on a golf shot. Your ability level will determine which kind of golf ball you will get the best feel and distances with. Firstly, on the low end of the spectrum it is possible to find low compression balls that create long distance if you have a slower swing speed. On the compression chart, these balls would often be rated between 30-70 and are ideal for beginner golfers or senior golfers. An example of a low compression golf ball in this category would be the Callaway Supersoft. Yet at the other end of the spectrum, you have high compression balls which mean you would have to strike the ball with more speed to achieve the same kind of distance. These types of balls, however, give the golfer more control over their shot, especially with their faster club head speeds that they are generating. These balls may be rated greater than 70 on the compression chart and are ideal for more experienced golfers. An example of a higher compression golf ball is the Callaway Chrome Soft and offers a direct comparison to the Supersoft. You can view more about the differences and similarities between these golf balls here. A good rule of thumb which can be applied to knowing your compression level, is that golfers with a club head speed of 70mph should use a 70 Compression Ball. A golfer with a club head speed of 80mph should use an 80 Compression Ball and those with speeds of 90mph should use a 90 Compression ball with 100mph swing speeds indicating the use of a 100 Compression golf ball. By using a suitable golf ball you can make sure that you increase your average golf ball speed. In order to get the maximum distance possible out of a golf ball, it must be fully compressed. This is when the ball will be half flattened upon impact due to enough force being applied to maximize the compression. Golf Ball Compression: What Is It? [Complete 2020 Guide & Chart] (reachpar.com) Is that based on the wide variety of swing speeds?
