    The test i'd like to see is Titleist top of the line stuff (pro v's) vs OTHER Titleist balls (such as Truefeel or Velocity). I'd like to see what your tests show on that (i've done my own personal tests, and at my 100 mph swing speed, the ProV is longer with the driver, but the Trufeel is longer with the irons).
    I know greenside spin is big-time important for elite amateurs and pros, but i think the weekend warrior doesn't miss anything with massive short game spin. Just my two cents.

I had never tried the VICE ProPlus until a friend sad here try this one. This ball played longer than my favorite MaxFli Soft or the Tite AVX. My swing is much slower than it use to be.

      The delta on a slower swing speed is a lot less than a higher swing speed. Play any 3 piece ball and results will be close. I pick a ball based on how it reacts when I’m putting. I’m playing Vice Pro Soft right now. If Pro V’s have a sale like they used to, I’d probably play them.

  • @bigdogpete43
    @bigdogpete43 2 года назад +3

    I use the Callaway ERC triple track in green. Works great with my triple track putter. I think the key is consistency. Swapping balls all the time really hurts your consistency. All premium balls are pretty good, but if you are standing over a shot at 150 yards, you need to know which club to pull. If it flies 160, you just made bogey. Pick a good quality ball and know how it performs with your equipment over time. Boring I know, but so are pars.

    I notice a much bigger difference with distance at around 127mph clubhead speed average (swing can vary between 122-135mph on course). The left dash for me is more penetrating and almost always seems to run out further with driver (harder ball), but when using an iron / wedge I get almost dead stop around the green (angle of descent), pretty much perfect for my playstyle - but if there's a lot of wind I have to change my game drastically. My partner who gets her swing close to 100mph gets much better results with a slightly softer ball like a Z-star / Prov1 / Snell.

    2 questions…
    1 - Curious as to what compression the 3 balls used in the test were measured at and what role a higher or lower compression ball played relative to swing speed and overall distance?
    2 - Does the act of cutting a ball and breaking the force the solid outer layers of a ball have on the core once cut impact the shape of the core? In the video when the balls are cut, you can see some flex. Just wondering if this is accounted for in some way or the assumption is that a cut ball should retain shape like a full ball after impact?
    Enjoy all the research and results. Thanks for doing what you do.

    • @marudebaka6041
      @marudebaka6041 2 года назад +1

      If cutting the ball somehow caused off-centering of the core, one would expect all the balls to suffer from the same trauma.
      This is definitely not the first time anybody has found that Callaway balls have more than their share of off-center cores and more unpredictable flight.

    The one thing that bothers me the most is the constant reformulation the companies do every year so I find myself having to retest every year when the new iterations come out. First I loved the AVX then they changed it, then I loved the Tour B X and then they changed, then I loved the ProV1 then they changed it. So this season I’m with the new TP5X (which I had previously tested and didn’t love) but the new model is perfect for me this year…until they change it…

    LOLOLOL...I played Callaway Chrome Soft for the first time last week because I didn't realize I was out of ProV1s...no lie I felt like I was hitting a trick ball at times. Although around the greens it was pretty nice. Off the tee and long fairway shots were definitely inconsistent. Then I watch this and you hit me with an off center core..hmmmm. Now obviously not all the balls have an off center core but I bet I could pick the ones that I hit that did have one. Thanks for the research guys.

    Could you guys please use that robot to show where we should add our speed increase on the downswing for max distance? I'm thinking somewhere just before center to just after center depending on ball position but would love to see the actual science with the robot.

    Have moved to playing a Titleist ProV1 or ProV1x Left Dash. I did pay for the Ballnamic ball recommender and it said the Srixon Z Star was the best ball for me. Either of these 3 balls have worked well with my swing but I'm still not settled on one. I have moved on though from just playing whatever ball I grab out of my bag. Those days are in the past for me thanks to MGS.

    How is the left dash that much longer with only having one extra MPH and 8 less RPMs?? I have used the left dash and it is definitely longer than anything else I have used but that difference with those numbers just don’t add up? Unless the smell launches so much higher and rolls less and the left dash rolls more because of a more penetrating flight?? I’m confused haha

    So you found an off-centre core in the Callaway... but is that an anomaly or did you open more than one ball and find it consistently (always) or even often? To be honest, seeing the off-centre core is disturbing. Personally, I have a slower swing speed and I like the Titleist Tru-feel (yellow, please), but I also like the Noodles. Thanks!

  • @aliikane
    @aliikane Год назад

    Interesting data. Definitely some balls are longer than other due to spin rates and compression. However, I still don't understand how only a difference of 2.4 mph ball speed and 168 difference in spin rate could equate to 31.9 yards longer distance even if the aerodynamics were better? According to Trackman data, 1 mph difference in ball speed equates to 2 yards. Was the distance calculated by the launch monitor or actually measured? I'd definitely like the test to be testing other premium balls to see how much difference that the aerodynamics account for the difference in distance.

  • @davehagigh5539
    @davehagigh5539 2 года назад

    Kudos to MGS for doing this for years now). But the fact is you still have to dig deeper than what was shown here or in their Ball Lab articles. There should be a chart that says which ball is best suited based on swing speed. I recall that the Titleist Left Dash is for guys that crush the ball and most players driver swing speed is below 95mph. The best thing about MGS efforts is the manufacturers know they;re being watched, which explains why Callaway fixed their production issue (last year I recall). You can have the best prototype in the world but it's what comes off the assembly line that counts.

  • @spaxe7
    @spaxe7 2 года назад +3

    2.5 mph and 150 rpm spin
    alone doesn’t equal 30 yard difference. What’s not being shown is launch. I assume Titleist launched higher than Inexis? Optimizing launch conditions is ball speed, spin AND launch. Why leave out one of the 3 critical parameters?

    • @EdReed20DB
      @EdReed20DB 2 года назад +1

      These guys are anything but scientific, so i wouldnt be surprised if they didn’t account for a lot of variables. 4500 shots must have been done over multiple days. Did they account for wind and ground conditions? Hit the left dash on a tail wind day? Hit the others after it rained so they didn't roll as much? From the snell to left dash there's only 1mph of ball speed difference and the same spin rate, but 14 yards? Unlikely.

  • @benpennington7532
    @benpennington7532 2 года назад

    You say that both club (shaft?) & ball performance changes with swing speed but then your results show just ball versus swing speed. Were the balls tested with the same club (shaft) at the different swing speeds?
    If so how do we know the differences are not due to the way the club performs at different swing speeds?

And ALL balls have to mee the strict requirements of the USGA and the R&A.
