  I just shot my best round ever for 18 holes on Kiawah.  I shot -2 using the golfnow ball.  The speed was 2 when I usually play max pro balls which are 5.  I was just for s&gs that I used a different ball.  I'm now thinking that I should use a faster speed ball & give up the few yards  I just don't know..  Maybe I should start using the faster meter balls then.  I just don't know.

  IMHO, it comes down to your natural speed or rhythm( and habits, of course).

  I for one have a hard time playing the slow Nikes (never tried the MAX) because I always click early. For me, it's easier to count "one - click" with a faster meter. Therefore, my favourites are the Tour-SD (zero feel points), and currently lvl33 Callies (2.5), compromising speed for spin.

  I might play better with better balls (excuses, I know), but I just don't like it.

  I just spent a week on starter balls. Everything seems beautifully slow now. :-)

  I have the same problem with the max balls.  Clicking too early.  Maybe I need differnt clubs.
