So some of the ladie and I from my office who golf have been talking about the Precepts. I mentioned yesterday that they are on sale in stores and my friend who also plays in my golf league wanted to go to Dick's so she could pick up a box and then the secretary in my office asked me to pick up a box of the clear for her. When all was over with we walked about with a box of every color from Dick's.
When I walked into the office to give my secretary her box she saw the pink balls I had bought myself and asked if we could swap a sleeve of her clears for one of my pinks.

Good pics nerfny! That's attractive packaging, especially the bottom of the box.
So last night ddec and I got out and played a quick 9 holes after work. For a couple of holes I was able to play the precept against the e6 before we had a group that was playing behind up catch up.
Driver: Off the tee even when I mishit the precept I knew where it was going as with the e6 I hoped I would be able to find it. We were playing the back 9 on a nine hole course and from most of the tee's it makes the holes longer from the ladies tees. On most drives with the precept I was in my normal landing area where I would be from the front nine.
Woods/Hybrids: This is where the precept was really shinning for me last night. I had a couple of holes where normal I would have hit a 3 wood but went with a 5 wood and still landed the ball with a similar distance.
Irons: The extra distance really showed on the par 3's for me. On the first par 3 I took an 8 iron from 120 away and if I hadn't pushed the ball I would have landed on the back of the green. On the second par 3 I was 100 yards away over water. I had been hitting the ball an extra 5 to 10 yards with the new precepts so instead of my pitching wedge I pulled out my sandwedge and landed my ball just short of the green and it rolled up to about 5 or 6 feet.
Sand: I felt the ball was coming out of the sand great until I hit it into some sand that was rock hard. I don't think it was the ball that caused it to come out of the sand funny but the lack of sand I was able to get when hitting the shot.
Putting: I love the way this ball feels off the putter. I feel like I can step up and either drain it or put it in close with no problems. I haven't done anything different in my putting game other then adding the precept and I feel so much more confident and my number of 3 putts is way down. I have been feeling that I'm not loosing as many shots around the green as I did before. I'm starting to really understand how this ball reacts to different lies and it is giving me confidence in my short game.

Mary - I really feel that I take an easier swing with the lady iQ+ ball than I do with higher compression balls and I seem to be playing better as a result. The ball just rockets off the face without having to go after it to me. The only difference I see is on the driver. If I put too easy a swing on it, it seems to to go too high and drop for me. I have to really swing through well with my driver to get the ball flight I want. Obviously that is the case with any ball but this one seems to punish me more if I miss.
I am too which is why I am wondering if Nerfny's having issues with the e6 staying in the fairway were because she was swinging so hard at it when switching between balls for an A to B compare. I noticed I was swinging at the balls differently when I was doing A to B which, technically means it is hard to be a true A to B compare in a purely scientifically sense since you are changing something.
