After years, I finally broke down and tried the proV1. Around the green it was nice but sheesh was it low launching. It practically fell out of the air. I play in an area where you don't get much roll so this cut off my distance by a lot. Stunningly disappointed.

Long review here. I picked up the P770 with stock shafts and grips in the offseason. Got a lot of range time in and have played several rounds. This is as much a ball review as it is a club review though. I switched out stuff because my set up last year (i200 + tp5x) was just hard feeling...

Had covid and it wasn't pleasant in March 2020. Got my first Pfizer shot in March 2021. Had low grade fever, flu like symptoms and bad sore arm. Lasted a few days too. Second shot was milder. Lesser of a sore arm and that's about it. I was expecting to get my ass kicked and it wasn't bad...

I used to be deadly with my irons and terrible with my driver. I put a ton of work into my driver and have seen significant improvements in consistency, accuracy and distance. Now I can't hit my irons. I can't help myself from staying behind the ball and I end up hitting up on it...

Thanks for the info. Can I ask what your swing speed is for comparison? I'm a 105 type on my driver and for gapping purposes 160-170 ish is just about right for a 7i for me. I keep reading really good distances for the Apex Pro given the lofts.

Thanks for all of the write ups in this thread. A lot of good information. I'm currently playing i200's and they are getting a little long in the tooth. I'm looking for something with a wee bit better distance and feel without losing control. I played the cf16's when they came out and there...

Better yet, put the yardage on it. So when someone asks: What club do you hit from 150 yards out? You can tell them: I hit my 150 yard club.

I just sucked this year. When I think about it, I have sucked for several years. I used to be a consistent and good iron player and now I simply can't make good contact. I don't even know what I am doing wrong. I've gotten a wee bit older but its not showing up in my driver distance. Its...

i225 irons soon? i525? Seriously should have stuck with 420.

Course slope and ratings are based on average golfers. Individually, everyone has characteristics about their games that will make them play better or worse on different courses. For instance, a long player who has trouble with accuracy is going to do the best on a long, wide open course. A...

Switched from chrome soft (2019) to tp5x this year and have several rounds in. The bad: - tp5x just makes this irritating clicky noise that makes you think you have a top flite. - its hard. I have Ping irons and between the two of them, I really feel anything that isn't pure center. - I...

Thank you for the details. Its surprisingly hard to find a sleeve of balls right now. Regardless, now that TP5 has the pix pattern it makes the switch much easier. I'll try out both like you said and go from there. I'm kind of disappointed in myself in just picking the CS based on feel and...

Sorry for the somewhat old bump but this thread matches my question. I have been chipping and putting in the basement in quarantine and have been thinking about changing golf balls. I have been playing chrome soft for years. I really like the truvis because it helps me focus on the ball...

I'll bring up one I haven't seen much: Turf interaction. I can be a digger at times and a club that doesn't grab is good for my games and my body. I would say: 1. Distance consistency 2. Turf interaction 3. Feel Don't care that much about looks within reason. I wouldn't buy a club that...

I don't know what the issue is. If someone is upset about tour pros changing how the courses were meant to be played, make a "tournament" ball that everyone has to play with in a sanctioned tour event. You can just tweak it so that it doesn't go as far and everyone will play with the same...
