Complete Ball Fitting At The PGA Tour Superstore

[@Okheck]

Great video from smaller channel. You’re videos are straight to the point and unbiased. Keep it up

[@Duffs2Darts]

Thank you for the feedback and support! I’m trying to be honest and real.

[@jbarres80]

I just started golfing and used Vice Pro Vice Pro+ and this week I’m breaking out 2 color sixron a star and TP5x also surprised on how many guys I know playing just use random balls

[@Duffs2Darts]

Some people lose so many balls, they don’t care what they are playing. Using the same ball every time helps with consistency. I’m a big fan of my new ball. Part two drops tomorrow (5-2-2021)

[@gabescustoms3281]

That’s my local too. I live 20 minutes away. Crazy to say where I went a day ago and where I’m going tomorrow.

[@Duffs2Darts]

love this store!

I grew up in Lake Co. the days it doesn’t snow in Vernon Hills are called “July”

[@Duffs2Darts]

Hahahaha pretty much

[@dancorun6650]

Nice job since all I've seen is club testing. I'll be visiting the local PGA Superstore soon.

[@Duffs2Darts]

Glad it helped! Let me know when you go. I’d love to hear about your experience.

[@davidcole2337]

Who does a Ball Fitting? Seems to me you start with Budget and move to Feel then on to distant. My Recommendation is get the Kirkland Golf Balls v2.0 right now you can get them for $25 for 24 Balls.. Feel like a Pro V1 and a 3rd of the cost.

[@danielcowell8346]

Super interesting video. Keep up the good work!

[@mikecoughlin4128]

Is it ok if after I try the two brands on the course and I return one of them that the dozen is about 5 balls short? Asking for a friend.

[@Duffs2Darts]

@@mikecoughlin4128 solid question for the staff. Probably but you might get a prorated return back.

[@charlieboylol527]

Great video

[@Duffs2Darts]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@markm778]

Looks like fun and helpful. Ball #2 is....?

[@jondiamond8546]

My guess is it's a new release from Srixon.

[@Duffs2Darts]

🤐

[@nwhitacre]

Its the Snell MTB-X.

@@nwhitacre nope LOL

[@jondiamond8546]

@@nwhitacre I've played them. They are awesome

[@shakeelpal7689]

have you found any relationship b/w clubhead speed with ball compression. I've been trying to find a suitable ball for high driver speed (125-130mph).

[@Duffs2Darts]

That’s a speed I don’t understand LOL. My guess is that you would want to look at the X models though. The testing process doesn’t measure the compression. It’s focused more in spin, ball speed, smash, accuracy and feel.

[@shakeelpal7689]

@@Duffs2Darts I've tried PSI rating from 35 (maxfli) to 110 (Dunlop DDH). For me it comes down to feel on contact....the softer covers I guess but the problem is going to 90 PSI (eg. pinnacle gold) there is excessive draw. I live in Pakistan so there is not much choice you can get...therefore my question. Some calculations I did were pointing towards 85% of clubhead speed (using swing speed radar) was giving best results in direction, height but that only held till 115mph; I was just looking if there is some study or findings relating to high swing speed.

[@Duffs2Darts]

@@shakeelpal7689 I think feel is the biggest part of it. I don’t hit it that hard but harder than most amateur players I guess. I did a part two to this ball test where I took it to the course. That might help you as well with your own testing.

Which store is this?

Vernonhills IL 😉

[@jasongraham5648]

Is there some KZbin rule that say all KZbinrs have to use the gayest music possible?

[@Duffs2Darts]

Kind of. Certain music won’t play due to copyright so we have to find stuff in the KZbin library that won’t cause that to happen.

[@jasongraham5648]

@@Duffs2Darts 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Cory703]

Smh Kirkland balls not put into the equation :(

[@Duffs2Darts]

I would have had to bring them. If you play them and want to see if they are the best ball for you, you can add them into your test. I asked 😉

[@j.w.matney8390]

Just saw this. Bringing back bad memories of forced mask wearing. Other than that, I thought there should have been a bigger sample of balls, maybe 6 instead of 4. I appreciate the effort though. Lots of good information about ball technology.

[@Duffs2Darts]

I can add some context to the quantity of balls tested. Steve had a big case of them. I was asked a bunch of questions upfront regarding the ball I “currently play”. The first part of the test was blind putting. We moved forward with the ones I liked the best off feel from there. There is no limit to what you can test, it’s just their way of narrowing it down and speeding it up. It’s a fun process if you ever get to try it. Also the mask part definitely sucked so I was glad they let me take it off.

[@j.w.matney8390]

@@Duffs2Darts That's reasonable. Still playing the TP5? If not, what are you playing? Ping has a ball testing app and for $ 40.00 you get a lot of useful data and can retest for a year. One of the balls recommended was the one I use (Bridgestone Tour B RXS). Anyway, I like the channel. Thanks

[@Duffs2Darts]

@@j.w.matney8390 I have not heard about the app. I’ll have to look into that. I am still playing the TP5 but I also use Kirklands when I’m not playing well or the weather is bad. I’d rather lose one of those than a TP5 lol.

[@tomjones2056]

Remember the mask era? 🤡

[@Duffs2Darts]

I thought I responded to this. Sorry I missed it. That is a question that's better suited to the experts. I couldn't begin to answer that. I also don't get my ball speed that high lol.

[@shakeelpal7689]

@@Duffs2Darts yes you did… don’t know why it popped up again.

[@Duffs2Darts]

@@shakeelpal7689 awesome. Didn’t want you to feel like I ignored you. Did you ever get a good answer on this?

[@shakeelpal7689]

@@Duffs2Darts the best I could determine was club head speed x 0.85 = best compression. With a pressure snap like Mike Austin (that’s about 20-35 deg before ball contact) it seems to be 0.90xClubhead speed…. That’s the reason our iron carry distance changes by approx 7%. The rotational approach seems to have less impact on ball compression as the club head is essentially released post contact. The carry distance when I use rotating tech vs. (Austin’s) slide has ranged from 7-14% regardless of ball compression…. I’m sorry I cannot be more precise as I don’t have access to sophisticated bio-mechanical equipment out here… maybe you can make more sense of this.

[@Duffs2Darts]

@@shakeelpal7689 translation, the harder you hit it, the further it goes as long as the ball doesn’t smoosh like a sponge.
