I'm a Master Fitter/Builder, you play a urathane ball for the green side and pitch shot spin, you play a companies spinny or not spinny ball based of your mid iron spin rates to help get the height and stopping power needed to hold greens, then fit your driver to the ball and spin numbers you get. So if you end up needing a spinny ball to help you get to 45deg of landing angle then you'll probably end up in a low spin head with a low spin shaft, lets say a paradym triple d and Ventus blue tr or black tr, maybe a va synyster, Hzrdus black, or other shafts like that. Eveyone is different though and we fit to the numbers from trackman not the general theory of what works for most people. I still use the data from the 2021 test mygolfspy did to show customers the differance in balls all the time, it's one of my favorite bookmarks at work.
Bummer there are no bookmarks to each ball discussion...
Anyone have a summary? I’m interested in the results but don’t want to watch a 36m video for it.
Bummer there are no actual results, click bait
@@wardpr68thanks for saving me a half an hour
They suck
Been playing for 30 years, 6 handicap, love the kirklands. Compared the new V3 against Chrome Soft X, Pro V1, Vice Pro... just cant tell any difference in flight, spin or distance. Cant beat it for little over a $1 per ball.
yes you can beat it. The Spalding SD Tour is as good and beats the cover hands down. Spalding has a hit out on them because they threaten the ball industry, ignore them and give them a try. I play to a 4 and play them.
I found I lost about a club distance with the Kirklands. I gave a playing partner a dozen and a half just to get rid of them.
@@vertstang123 Same. I had an original Snell ball in my bag and flew the green when the Kirklands were landing on the front edge. All day I was coming up a half club to a full club short. They are in the shag bag now.
Title says Best golf balls of 2023 yet there isnt a single mention of this list at all in this vid. Reported for misinformation and/or click bait fraud.
Using past MGS test results + price I just buy Maxfli Tours four dozen at a time for $30/dozen. There may be some balls which fly better off my driver and others which may feel and spin better around greens. Maxfli’s do both well for me.
I'd love to try and find fault with this approach - but I can't.
HA
Yeah those are my “everyday” balls. Can’t beat the value in those. Bridgestone has their B X balls for $120, which are my fancy balls in lieu of Pro V1X
While this is a truly fascinating discussion....is there a results video that shows the testing results??
I love this trio!
Thanks for watching!
Put out the stats, stop blowing smoke up our proverbial. Just click bait.
What do you do with the balls after the test?
Maxfli for me!
Would love to see a deep dive into how to take the data from the test and apply/compare it to your game to find the best handful of golf balls to try on the course. Swing speed is one variable, but trajectory, spin conditions, etc. all matter. Would greatly help the reader sort through/use the data. Keep up the great work!
Noted - all of those and more, coming!
New format idea, next show recorded as everyone floats on a pink flamingo😂
I know Rob would be a fan 😂
Is the comparable data set going to be viewable again like in the 2021 article? Really nice layout where we can see all the products and sort as needed.
I'm a mid handicap player and normally play V1 but my two best results this season has one thing in common - both where played with a Titleist Velocity... the result and the "feel" don't always match up. Velocity gave me a longer and straighter tee shot and was easier to get the right length with my putter.
I played the Velocity for a few years and changed to Srixon for a while for no good reason. I'm going to pick some up again and try them again
Can't wait for the results.
On the edge of our seats!!
Would like to see which balls to avoid or as least consistent and or accurate.
The Kirkland ball is by far the best value in golf. I shoot low rounds all the time with them.
Urban legend, it never happened
They wont last as long as a ProV. If you dont lose golf balls there is no better value than a ProV that's as good on the 5th round as it is on the 1st.
@@TMar1961 If I'm spending money on a ball I buy Chrome Soft. I like ProV1... just never seem to shoot a good score with one.
Waiting to buy golf balls for next year in bulk. Waiting to see results between Snell, Vice, or Maxfli
The better not be anything better than the Left Dash! I’ve been using it the last 2 seasons and I just bought another box for the summer! 😂
The after show cuts are great! Glad to see your working hard and can’t wait to see the results! Cool Clubs is my go-to for club testing data. Some clubs are amazing and a lot not so much.
Awesome! Thank you!
Always slightly surprised with the ProV1/ProV1x. I sometimes forget I'm playing them because when I find an interesting ball it's very tempting to try it out. However the ProV's always seem to have better flight. Their chipping and putting seems smoother and more predictable.
try the Spalding SD tours, you'll freak out at how good they are. Ignore the hit jobs on them.
@@DPDutcherbro you paid by Spalding to say this? This is all you talk about is “DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSE LISTEN TO ME”. Like stop it…
Great ball. All I play right now.@@DocHudson420
When are results rolling in ?
Results coming this Monday, August 28th!
One of your best episodes. Thanks all.
Thanks for watching!!
Love all the tests @mygolfspy performs! I wish they would conduct a ball test for many of the ionomer/surlyn balls. Would love to see how the stack up against some of the top urethane balls.For many of us an ionomer ball if just fine and I'd love to know which perform the best.
When are the results out
Results coming this Monday, August 28th!
After years of playing ProV1, didn’t like the 2023 ball. Tried the AVX even after reviews of low spin and low peak height. Love the ball! Swing speed is dropping to 100mph on driver. Love the softer feel, spin is good, learning to pitch and roll. Looking forward to results.
welcome to the valley of the SUN!! Good timing, this is hotter than usual and just had our wettest winter in years. Are your #s based on 1800 feet and 117*? Need a few wet haboobs!!! Cant wait for results, my fav tests every 2 years, cheers f Gilbert, AZ! (PS... real or not I think my yellow prov's feels firmer than the whites)
how much thought do you put into the shaft on the driver? Seems like your spin during the last test was kind of high at the 115mph swing speed. Or is it all relative? Maybe use the most popular shaft, the Ventus velocore blue or black? Can't wait for the test.
Any idea when we will see the results?
Results coming this Monday, August 28th!
Can we get Odin X1 in the next tests whenever that is or even an individual review! Lmk @Tony! 😉
Curious about the affect of spin rate when the ball is wet. In particular 120 yds and in
Srixon or Wilson Model? Depends on the day but BOTH!
Not sure who the chick is, but good job, she should be the neutral 3rd party facilitating the No Putts Given webinars as opposed to two Boreosaurus’s droning on to each other! 😊
I don’t use expensive golf balls. Because I go left and right on the course.
These are more fun with Bennett around
Maxfli for the win
welcome back
According to one maker of high quality wedges, one of the key determinants of spin, particularly on wedges, is where players strike the ball on the face. Pros and scratch handicappers strike the ball on or very near the second groove up from the bottom. Average recreational players, even if they strike the ball quite consistently, tend to hit it on the third and fourth grooves up. Since the center of gravity of the wedge, the part where most mass is concentrated, is at the bottom, the low strike of the pro produces higher spin than the higher up strike of the average player. Thus a skilled pro may get a higher spin rate from a given brand and model of ball even if the pro swings at a slower speed identical to that of the average player. So the amount of spin delivered by a specific ball will depend not only on the speed of the swing, but also where the contact is made relative to the center of mass of the club face. If you use a robot to test, presumably the ball will be hit at exactly the same point, the same groove, at all three speeds you mention. Then the average golfer may buy a ball that your robot test says gives 8850 rpm on an 85 yard shot with a 52 degree wedge at a swing speed of 70 mph, but when he hits that ball at the local indoor range with a launch monitor and screen, he may only get an average of 8000 rpm with a swing speed of 70 mph and his 52 degree wedge. Your tests will be very informative and useful in comparing balls at exactly equal conditions of swing speed and strike point, but you might want to add a caveat that average players may not get the same results, be disappointed, and question your testing, but should keep in mind this effect of where on the face they contact the ball. Also, the maker of wedges I refer to said the location of the mass of the club is more important in generating spin than all of the marketing claims/hype about the highest spinning grooves. However, if an average player uses a ball you have tested with clubs whose grooves have been heavily worn and lost their edges, he will not get and should know not to expect the same spin rates you will get from the robot.
Cutting edge stuff. Great content
Ill be playing in golf tourney at TPC Scottsdale Stadium this year in Sept! Nice
Estimate on when results out?
Expect in early to mid July!
? It’s already end of July
Hell.. it's already August. Maybe July 2024?
Time frame of the actual results?
Results coming this Monday, August 28th!
You boys and girl are in my neck of the woods. I live about 8 miles from Scottsdale National. I’ve had the pleasure of playing there a couple of times. I’ve also played SunRidge Canyon Golf Course in Fountain Hill. The fitting location there use to be called Hotstix but all Hotstix locations were purchased by Cool Clubs. Enjoyed the video and am eager to see how the new Snell balls do, especially the yellow ones. We here are having a record heatwave, summertime is not a good time to visit our great valley. Cheers
Tp5s and qstar tours for me. I really hate the feel of the X balls
I will try the Kirklands if they come in yellow, but probably too spinny for me.
Stoked to see
Still waiting on results………..
Results coming this Monday, August 28th!
Yeah... Idk... Something about these MGS videos.... I just don't care for the format of like an in between podcast and RUclips video. I think ya gotta pick one or the other. MGS data is some of the best though, I trust them completely.
When does this video get released ?
Results coming this Monday, August 28th!
AZ in July? Better than Palm Desert, CA in July!!! Hell ya! Sign me Up! 120F today!
I really enjoy No Putts Given. This was one of my favorite episodes. Enjoy the rest of the testing.
Thanks so much! More results coming your way soon!
😮😮😮 can’t wait
Tp5x but also love the Titleist trufeel if I want more bang for my buck.
Geez what a bunch of baloney, only ball review with no results. You have said nothing new or interesting!!!!
bought some TP5 and tried some putts with it..surprised how firm it was..kinda disappointed..But distance is more important so yeah.. but thought top balls would give me both..apparently not..
Try again. Tp5 is like 85 compression. Feels soft to me compared to tp5x, prov1X and even kirklands. I love tp5 for cooler weather
maxfli tour
all my decisions are based on the color scheme thats it. fun fun fun til
The Vice Pro Plus feel so much like a ProV1. i couldnt tell the difference if i did a blind test
No need for this video to be 30 mins long.
i am so ready
I lost interest guys. Put some stats on the screen or show a golf course or something lol 😂. Or show the robot hitting some drives. Uggg couldn’t even watch half of this.
Is it Srixon or ‘Shrixon’ Tony?
I play to a 4. I now play the Spalding SD Tour and have NEVER found the inconsistencies that you claimed existed. I've been through 6 dozen so far and purchased 25 dozen at 12 per dozen. One of the best balls I have ever played and walmart has them for 17.95.
Great overview. Thanks. I miss the Sugar golfball.
I'd suggest staying away from those 😅
@@mygolfspyvideos why, is a great ball that performance wise can be compared with the Titleist PronV1 at half the price. Try them.
I thought Tony was Brian Harman for a while.
You and me both
We still haven't seen them both in the same room. At the same time.
Flies, scorpions, rattlesnakes, welcome to Arizona.
Just wondering when Brian Harman was hired
Something new we're trying out 😂
I like the KROYDON 5 myself!
Jato and Podo are pretty good too.
Yes, 90125
Roll back is coming.
I wanna know what the top golf ball is doing….
Where's results
Results coming this Monday, August 28th!
Titliest quality is really slipping. Just ran 2 new boxes of Pro V1X through the salt water balance check and 1 full box, 12 balls out of 24 were seriously out of balance. The 2nd box was perfect.
@@CM-qm8qnmake a salt water mix with enough salt to make the golf ball float. Drop a ball in and mark where the top most point on the ball is. Repeat several times. If most of your marks are in the same spot, the ball is off balance. If it’s in balance, the. The dots should appear random.
@@CM-qm8qn Add about 4 or 5 tablespoons of salt to 1 cup of water or until the ball floats. Spin the ball a couple of times and see if it comes to rest relatively close to just one area. Mark that spot. Spin more and see if it continues to come to that spot or comes to rest on multiple different areas. If it comes to rest consistently on one spot, that is the light side of the ball and the heavier side is pointing down. How quickly it returns to this spot determines how out of balance the ball is. If it comes to rest in multiple areas, that is a well balanced ball
look up the video of brysons caddy doing the test. you need to use lead tape if you actually want to know if its out of balance enough for it to actually affect flight or roll. the water test works but even if its 0.5 grams out of balance it will still look the same as a ball thats 5grams or more out of balance
@@warriorkidd5 Also, the speed at which it returns to that same spot gives you an idea of how out of balance a particular ball is. If it is slow to return, not that bad. If it returns quickly to the same spot, you may have found an out of balance ball.
Maybe two years from now, you will add a 70 mph swing speed category for the average woman category. This is faster than the average SENIOR woman. Both groups of golfers have been left out.
I know you surveyed your readers about what golf ball they play, but I'd wager you'd get more readers from the general consumer public if you tested every low priced ball thats not a "Tour Level Offering".
How many AVERAGE golfers swing at 115?.😳
Kirkland needs some respect
Respect is earned here so if it deserves respect it will get it, but it hasn't earned much the last few models.
Eh, I feel great for beginners. Rather lose a 2$ vs 6$ ball.
Kirkland doesn’t sponsor so it will never get big-sponsor treatment.
I've been actually playing better with the Kirkland balls than with the proV1s because I'm now not playing with the fear of losing a $6 dollar ball. Weird.
Because they are so bad off the driver and nobody wants to lose that much distance
Please please stop saying “we out”. It was bad enough when you were saying “let’s get it”
I been using Kirkland Balls for over a year and they are the closest balls to the ProV1 at 3rd of the price.
chop chop
Results coming this Monday, August 28th!
Pointless as the ball you pick will be changed in some way by the manufacturer ie, material construction, compression, dimple pattern etc
No bookmarks? What is this nonsense
Garbage click bait.
This was a waste it my time
I’ve listened to half this video and NO INFORMATION ON ANY SPECIFIC GOLF BALLS YET. A pure waste of time!!!!! Good dxxx bye.
Critique comment. MyGolfSpy you guys cover way too much on golf ball performance. Don't get me wrong, it's good stuff. But the amount of effort you all put into this content to generally get the same results every year (Titleist continues to be the best and Callaway is getting better). As a superfan, I'm just tired of this content. I just wish you put this much effort into other club testing, shaft testing, etc. just seems like this amount of effort could be put towards something else in golf. It's great how scientific it is, but I can only hear you guys talk so much on how ultimately at the end of the day everyone should just play something from Titleist's lineup based on their numbers. Which is also why this test just is hard to appreciate. At the end of the day you've gotta just get fit on a Trackman with different golf balls.
Hey Ramsey - interesting take here and appreciate the comment. I will say other than the robot aspect (and the Arizona heat) just as much time and effort go into our club and product testing all year round. Sure - the Ball Test is 'covered' a bit more intensely but soon enough each of our Most Wanted tests will have the same lead up and bits of info given leading up to final results. We do this every 2 years, as to not be repetitive and also to ensure to we provide the full scope of balls that are available at the time. While I'm glad you feel like you have gained and satiated your need for our data and info on golf balls, understand there is a vast majority and readers, old and new who greatly benefit from this test in particular. We're here to help all golfers - if you have any questions about this or any of our other tests, always feel free to message us at any time. Thanks for watching :)
We do put this much effort into every test we complete. Moving forward, you'll be able to see that as we do a better job documenting the depth to which we go for every piece of equipment. In terms of golf balls, frankly, what you perceive as the "same results' isn't accurate. Performance changes. Sometimes it's small and sometimes it's greater than that. But unless you're willing to look at and document performance incrementally, it can appear as though progress is stagnant. Truthfully, it's anything but that.
No Kirkland!!!
