I did a ball fitting yesterday with Bridgestone. It went very well, since I found out that a) HEX Black which I'm gaming is optimal for me and b) it was kinda funny to see the rep try to come up with a Bridgestone ball that would be a better fit.
Anyways, one thing stood out: the numbers on the launch monitor. I've done tests with Flightscope, Trackman and now Science Eye (never heard of before). With the Flightscope at TaylorMade last fall, my SS was around 108-109. This spring, I did tests at Callaway and got 104, maxed out at 106. This seemed pretty low to me, not to mention disheartening after spending a winter bulking up and grooving my swing for more power. And then yesterday with Science Eye, I averaged 116 (!?).
I don't believe my SS goes up and down like that, nor that it has changed that much over the course of 18 months. I hit the ball a bit longer this year than last, that's true, but it's not that big of a difference. This just put some doubt in my mind as to what to trust when I do testing - to me it seems like the numbers are all over the board depending on the LM.
