Re: Need Help!! Tried the Nike balls & my game went to ^@$*

  I decided to try a few packs of Nike balls. I found them inconsistent in yardage, especially in the wind, and the slow meter speed screwed with my timing when putting.

  Here's my dilemma. I went back to my tried & true L33 Calaways (s) & now I'm lucky if my approach shots are within 20yards of the pin. I use precise calcs for my club yardage & could consistently land within 2 or 3 of my calculated yrds, even with the long irons & 3w. I tried to remap my irons for distance & wind  but I'm seeing the same inconsistencies I saw with the Nikes.

  I took some notes and I've had a 6i land longer than my 5i in the exact same wind, I don't know if I'm losing my mind or just burnt out ...

  Any suggestions of insights?

  Take a short break, don't play for 48 hrs, you'll come back refreshed and everything will fall into place again.

  It's true! My Cleveland 100 yard wedge goes an easy 110 yds. no wind. Same with other clubs as well.
