  Still trying to find a ball for Burners..used nikes L71 too long L47 ? didn't take to them as missed as many dings as with old balls. Got Callys Z now and getting used to them however..125 club goes 5yrds past & with F/S 5yrds short  yet on practice ground F/S only reduces distance by 5yrds !?!? I'm stumped,forever mid club or just under full..Andy

  hey Andy ..

  i use lvl71 Nike's with Burners .. used 'em with G20's also, so i had lotsa time figuring the distances ..

  dunno if this will help, but lemme give 2 examples with 125yd PW:

  1. 121yds to hole, 5mph direct tailwind, 9ft elevation on green

  calculation: +3 on elevation; -3 on wind, +3 for full B/spin = 124yd shot

  2. 121yds to hole, 5mph direct headwind, 9ft elevation

  calculation: +3 on elevation, +2 on wind, +5 on bspin = 131yd shot

  just one of untold many examples .. if u wanna pick my mind some more, lemme know .. bear in mind that this is with 71 Nike's though .. i don't play any other ball

  Hi Chris,

  Do you have a yardage chart for the new G20's using L71 Nikes?

  i been using the Callie (Z) up until now and had them fairly spot on but now that i am sticking with the Nike, my results are wayyy different,

  Any help for a fellow Saffer?
