Hi Dude, Hi WIG Friends..
could not agree more about 'longer is not necessarily better' ..
maybe the hallmark of all the golf balls that fit.. could be 'predictability' ..
especially in and around the Greens??
Played recently - out of town in the South for a meeting and rented clubs .. great facility, and as I was playing with a colleague - we decided to try a golf ball neither of us was familiar with a sort of 'split the difference' ..
so we played the Titleist Velocity ... mid priced, good performer - seemed a bit like an upper end Pinnacle ..which if memory serves is Titleist's 'consumer' or 'mass market' ball.
truth be told - it was a pretty decent ball that never felt quite 'right' coming off the club face.. it got better, but especially around the greens it just didn't have the same spin or feel characteristics..
in short .. I really didn't know where it was going to stop ..
look, I'm not Seve' or Phil or event that decent an amateur .. my short game is not that refined.. or precise or even that good .. but after about 3 years of playing the Chrome Soft.. well .. something new .. I had a sense of what the feel of the ball associated to the desired shot was ..
who knew?
I guess I had a sort of concept of this .. but never really had consistency .. but over time.. well, I had begun to build it..
so ..
predictability
apparently it can matter..
cheers for now..
