Hey Rick! It would be cool to see a video on a dirty ball vs a clean ball. Does having some grass on your ball make a difference, and by how much?

[@TheGSoutherland]

Great idea

[@garybrumley3519]

Casey G I guess it would depend on how much grass there is on the ball. A lot, along with dirt that’s picked up, would change the flight characteristics, not unlike a scuff or cut would cause. Discoloration shouldn’t change it.

[@johnnybegood9742]

The writing on the box saying that is conforms with USGA rules should tell you all you need to know - wont be much different at all. All premium equipment is close to the legal limit already. If this dimple pattern was so revolutionary, big name mfgs would be following suit. Cheers bruh.

USGA and R&A rules have no limitations as far as drag is concerned, however they do have limits on depth of the dimples.

[@stratacaster74]

I enjoy the chrome soft x triple track. Although they are a seriously soft almost too soft. They get tore up rather quickly. I don't mean from the cart path or a tree either. I noticed after a round with the chrome soft or chrome soft x that they had little chip marks on the ball cover. Oh well... The feel on 150 yards in is priceless... And I do use the triple track (lines on ball) often so the trade off is well worth it to me.

Hi Rick. Loving your work and your videos have really helped improve my game. I'm still a beginner and wanted to ask if there's any point in beginners getting custom fitted. I've heard conflicting opinions on this. Some say it's worth it and others say wait til you improve. Can I get your opinion on this (either as a reply or video).

Would be interested to see GC2 data on ball speed as a comparison to see if there is any benefit in the dimples when it is in the air. It could be that it is a slow ball which is benefitting from dimples to make it similar distance to pro v1?

With less drag (advertised), I would assume less movement left to right or right to left. Did you see this when you hit your shots, or was the ball flight similar to that of the ProV1?

[@Golfball-Uhu_DE_LED_Ballfinder]

Hi Rick, thx for testing the Kaede...but do you think a comparison against the Titleist Pro V1 is fair? The marketing promis says:"...reduces drag by 18% compared to traditional round dimples..."...it does not say the ball will fly further than any other. So...a meaningful test would only be possible with a Kaede rounded dimples vs. Kaede flower dimples or Pro V1 rounded dimples vs. Pro V1 flower dimples...don´t you think ;-)!?

[@albingrondahl5071]

I quite like this new format of videos, actually. You have understood that it's nice to get to the topic directly instead of talking around it for 5-10 minutes but you mention stuff that's important to know, such as why GC Quad doesn't work in this case.
