So, we'll ignore the MVP flex and move right to the #WordsNeverUtteredByGolfers.... I said it to at least three people this weekend.After over 40 years playing golf (from rank beginner to hoping to break 90 hack to high school Team MVP to consistent mid to high 70s shooter back to 13 hdcp chop) i can honestly never remember saying after playing any of the thousands of rounds of golf i've played "If i had just used a [insert ball name here] instead of a [insert ball name here] i would've shot 79 not a 82". #WordsNeverUtteredByGolfers
There are a couple things you're either unfamiliar with or ignoring in ball design.
1- 40 years of experience doesn't mean much when the ball has changed dramatically in the last 5 years let alone 20 years let alone 40.
2- Compression plays a significant factor in the overall results for golfers. Ignoring that absolutely costs golfers performance
3- High spin players using high spin golf balls are absolutely costing themselves strokes. Changing balls mid round has DEFINITELY cost me strokes.
Etc.. Etc... Step out of the bubble and give some variety a try. If you're one of the lucky ones who have a neutral swing and can play whatever, congrats to you. Throwing blanket statements on all golfers because you're not familiar with the struggles of speed or spin variance, welp... It's just not a good look.
