    Have you gone to the no wind courses that are available to you this month?

    Ours  ( TL ) are in the free tournaments in the lobby. They are the monthly ones. Not sure which ones it would be for Legends.

    It's perfect for validating that landing number you learn and you can answer the rollout question. Hit backwards off the green back into the fairway for another shot. You get 10 shots before you're hustled on.  :-)

    WeidaDeNei:

    I am literally hitting the ball back and forth in the same spots and getting completely random distances EVERY TIME... Not one consistent flight at all. Not only that I am noticing my distances are MUCH shorter then the callways. I am very confused. I have accounted for the wind, spin, and elevation change which is minimal...

    Anyone have any answers?

    I am using the 79 rbz with 71 nikes.. Any help with that would be great!

    I can't speak for your iron set, but the Nike balls have a full dot more spin, compared to the Calley (4 vs 3 dots) - ratings wise. A 'no-spin-applied' hit with a Nike will have significantly less roll-out than the same shot and spin with a Cally ball. 

    See my previous post - you need to characterize varying spin settings with each type of ball. Watch the replay of every shot you make (ignore 'mis-hits' unless you're investigating how 'shot-shaping' works). I always view it in reverse to get a better view of the actual landing (CARRY yardage) and subsequent roll out to total yardage.
