Golf Plays Russ
Добавлен 19 мар 2022
Welcome to Golf Plays Russ, formerly know as The Back 9.
I want both you and I to become better golfers. Maybe you are new to golf, or perhaps you've been playing golf for over 30 years like me, but no matter the case I am confident I can teach you how to improve your game through effective golf course management, emotions control, course strategy, and short game skills and techniques. I probably can't do a lot to fix your golf swing, but I certainly can improve your score by teaching you how to tackle a golf course and managing your emotions and focus over the course of a round.
I would absolutely love your support in subscribing to my channel. Thanks in advance!

ARE GOLF BALLS WATER PROOF? (BIGGEST TEST EVER) - PART 1 INTRODUCTION
Are golf balls water proof? Are refurbished golf balls as good as new golf balls? Do golf balls get water logged? How does water impact golf ball performance?
In this series, I am setting out to answer all of these questions by submersing a wide variety of golf ball brands and models in water for up to 5 years. I will be taking them out of water and testing their performance against a control group every 90 days.
My gear:
Ping G430 LST Driver
Ping G425 LST 3 Wood
Ping Crossover 3 Iron
Ping G425 Irons 4-SW
Cobra Grandsport Putter

I am 44 years old, currently playing at a 7 handicap but striving to make progress towards scratch golf.

Improving my iron consistency to achieve lower golf scores
Просмотров 1782 месяца назад
In this video, I took 27 golf shots from 143 yards using my 9 iron with the goal to hole out. The benefit to this kind of golf practice is it builds confidence and consistency by training on the golf course, opposed to going to driving range and blindly hitting golf balls at a variety of targets.

The better comparison is maxfli tour
1
Callaway got unlimited mulligans
Can’t disagree with that 😬
Lots of mulligans on that Callaway 😉
100% agree. Got a new one of these ball comparisons coming out soon!
The second shot always has the advantage.....and B) You missed a belt loop....LOL
Haha that’s hilarious about the belt loop 🤣🤣🤣
Dan was putting like a star while you were having such bad luck with it. Fun watch though. You were shooting around my average.
Still my worst round of the season, by far! The silver lining here was that this round initiated my swing change and I’ve played great since!!
I'd like to see a test between the max.Fly straightfly and the maxfly soft fly to see if the straightfly actually flies straighter
A fun comparison would be maxfli tour s compare to vice pro plus
@@jerrysilverstein4055 I have this on my list, just with the Vice Pro! I’ve been playing Maxfli Tour CG most of the summer and love them!!
Hi Russ, I recognize that course!! Played it many times. Love the front 9 but the back 9 is really tight for me. I shoot high 90's. I use wilson zip #1 or maxfli straightfli #2.
@@billvarga8336 Bill this is awesome!! Great to connect with players from the area! Back 9 is definitely tight for sure!!
Great video I may try this with the taylormade speedsoft and TP5 and play 9 holes. It seems I could benefit from playing a premium ball now, but every time I test it out I can get a pretty similar play from the 25.00 ball (Callaway Supersoft and Taylormade Speedsoft)
@@randygibsongolf4618 It’s definitely worth testing out. Compression and feel is key and if you can get that out of a less expensive ball, it only makes sense!
Play 9 with both tee to green and see which is best fun fact Maxfli Tours are balance spun! Thanks
@@richardjacobs7632 I used to do this off camera a lot actually. Slower day and just me on the course, it makes sense to play 2 balls!
Something that may have been overlooked is the forgiveness of the softfli. Suggestion softfli vs maxfli tour
@@asapautoglass2007 Yeah I could agree with that. I like both balls a lot. Great suggestion on the Maxfli Tour, I’ve been playing them a ton this summer and absolutely love them. Big upgrade from the Softfli IMO
Hit 2 callaways ans 1 maxfli and give the point to callaway? How does that work. Why
So callaways get mulligans but maxflis dont?
Your left one
Pinnacle has the ugliest logo, they need a rebrand
I have no idea how closely guarded this info is, but wherever they get their rubbers and polymers may affect how the balls do in water. Bridgestone and Srixon have tire manufactures in their company, so testing those 2 might have interesting results.
Stoughton, WI! Come on out and play Evansville Golf Club
@@DeeRodDeerod27 Very familiar, and have never played Evansville but have heard good things!
Fun experiment but I’d challenge that if you had equal mulligans by brand or no mulligans the score would have been closer… I favor neither ball but agree if your ball striking isn’t great why by a $4 ball … I’ve read and tested myself that playing the same ball or same ball type is helpful in growing your individual game
Totally agree
Prov1 vs Bridgestone e12 Contact
Definitely would like to test this one
Then lose it at a first tee shot
I jump up and top it way too often. I traced the issue to my not rotating hips, so the subconscious is trying to compensate.
I’ve experienced this same issue many years ago, and fully opening my hips on the downswing still can be an issue for me at times. Keep practicing!
Fun idea, great video! This suggestion might double the human error you mentioned at the end. But a 2 player alternate shot format. Playing 2 balls and the players switch after each shot. Then you would have a stroke play score for each ball.
Interesting idea! We may have to test this!!
I’d like to see ProV1 vs Kirkland balls. There was talk about Kirklands performance balls being ProV duplicates.
Expecting I will test this soon. Thinking I’ll run some other experiments in addition to playing them 1 v 1 to compare performance. Also expecting Pro V1s will perform better
I prefer the Maxfli over the Callaway.
It remains an underrated ball. I’ve played the Softfli since 2021 and have been impressed with the Maxfli Tour balls as well. Plan on putting those up against Pro V1’s in an upcoming video
Still a beauty putt!
Thought I had it!
Don’t you hate that shit ? Lol 30 years golfing! It’s a love/hate relationship
Haha yes! Best addiction in the world!
Why is that green so long, where are you playing?
Lots of rain the last few weeks in central Wisconsin have slowed the greens down. This was also later in the day. These were a bit slow but I’ve played slower this year for sure
Ehhh I wouldn’t want to consistently play bad
Yeah those were terrible putts 🙄
Finally broke the birdie drought! Great way to finish out the round, your approach on 18 was amazing.
Floodgates have opened up a bit since that one! I need more shots with 50 foot obstacles between me and the hole!
@@golfplaysruss Haha. Middle of the fairway: too easy. 50 foot obstruction: watch this!
6 and 7 handicap? I must be scratch then. 😂 good video gents.
Wasn’t just this round. Whole month of May was was rough
gee thanks
How about Camelot in Lomira!!, let me know if you are ever in the area? Chuck Freimund..Sportscaster
Hey Chuck I’ll keep you posted on that! Actually quite familiar with Camelot but haven’t played it yet. Hearing about it does give me strong Monty Python vibes though 😅
This was such a fun day, can't wait for part 2! P.S. I'm definitely analyzing/ over-analyzing my swings.
So fun! Looking forward to playing a second round this year as well! There is a lot of value in seeing video of your swing from multiple angles but be careful not to try to change too much too quickly. The more I analyze mine, the worse it gets at times!
The green was 50 yards to his left 😂 Jk
There is a video of Bryson using a Walmart Jr set of clubs and he was hitting the driver 260 yards. The guy is incredibly talented thats for sure. He shot EVEN Par through 6 holes. 😂
Tbf bryson looks at a ball and it jumps 150yds 😅
It’s really incredible to watch
Just remember, those are not the same lofts on their clubs that you have on yours. Their 9-iron is more like a 7.
Valid point for sure.
Lol you can hit a 7 as far as Bryson can hit a 9 and I don't think so
Quick question.. I can almost hit it that far.. but does it make you feel like a lady when you watch the pros hit a 9iron 211.. like wtf am I doing wrong 😂🥴
Read the comment at the bottom after I posted .. touché 😂
No doubt man!
Never imagined Busta car surfin...
That’s sick is funny as fuck!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Boatsta rhymes
😂😂 this is gold
That is amazing!!
Such a loser
Wow.
Lmao
❤😂❤😂❤
😂🤣
There really is no better feeling, nice ball!
Thank You!! Hit ‘em straight!
This is great stuff!
