Take it for what you will, those that like data, might enjoy this test they did. Hopefully some THPers get to do their own testing this year and chime in with what they find from the different balls on the market.

To me, the test would have been more meaningful using modern equipment where ball speed retention is much better with slightly off center hits in comparison to a 20 year old blade.
I like the video, but I wish the Pro V1/X weren't always considered the standard. I think for numbers driven and or die-hard golfers, the pro v1/x aren't the standard.
I would like to see more numbers from all the other great options out there - Srixon, TM, Bridgestone, etc.
It's 1 shot per ball. Doesn't really mean much to me.It would be so cool to get an hour or so on a launch monitor and do a fairly comprehensive test like this involving as many balls as possible. I think the results could be eye opening, and not so comparing a 2 piece surlyn to a 4 piece urethane at 1 specific mph. Nonetheless, I will do my diligence in picking my ball this year based on the supply I have.

You sure know how make a sweet deal even sweeter. Just a short trip across the great lakes!Fine. No net, you have to retrieve all balls hit.
