  Every day i get rady for playing the olny thing i think is: "Will they let me play my game this time or i`ll play only his game(bad, of course)"

  C`mon men, change up your mind and don`t touch the balls, we are here for hitting them, but let us do it alone, don`t do it for us !!!

  300 yards carry to hit a fairway? Where? There isn't a fairway around here that can't be hit with the R11 and the starter ball. That's nonsense.

   

  BPB has about numerous holes that I use it on. 

  For instance on #9. Try to carry the bunker from the tips with the starter ball with no tail wind. Can the fairway be hit with the starter ball? Sure it can. But you're going to be 180 instead of 140. Now hold that green from 180 with the starter ball when the flag is on the right.

  try teeing andys 17 in a strong headwind with starters then come back and post

   

  **edit and i dont mean the left FW lol

   

   

  I've done it many times. Just leaves a longer second shot. Par hasn't killed anybody.

  Par doesn't win many RGs.

  It wasn't about having that carry and where to use it or trying to win RGs. The point was just the difference the lesser balls make on missed hits. It just sounded to me like you were saying you absolutely have to have that combo to win anything.

  I, like I said in my previous post, I wouldn't want to give up the distance and spin for the lesser deviation of lesser balls.

  Why isn't it about winning RGs? That's what the original post is about.

  I haven't seen many people winning any RGs with lesser balls. Have you?

  Haven't looked. I would have to care, first.  We play in different worlds.  ;-)

  Because of the claim about driving. Period. Not what you play, how you play, where you play, just the comment about the drive. That was my first response. Get it? 

  More nits. Sheesh.

  I never win RG's so....But I failed to mention on creative shots with the lesser ball there is a loss of trajectory no matter which clubs you use compared to the premium balls. Very noticeable on Flop shots especially. I will admit that practicing with a faster metered ball helps me in most cases as long as when I switch back to the premium ball I play 9 holes to readjust to the slower meter . Too bad we don't have an actual driving range for this purpose :(
