    New balls add distance to your clubs but how much?

    Do the meters take into account the improvement?

    If not, how do you judge your swing strength?

    The aiming distance marker won't change and the only way to find out is to practice and take some notes. There's no magic formula.

    Question what ball will be the most accurate to the distance on the club give or take a yard or two. I already know that wind and elevation plays into this but with light/moderate wind which one is the best at proper club distance?

    It really depends on what you mean by 'proper club distance'. For me I don't believe there is such a thing as 'proper club distance there is the distance your caddy says it will go, but as my caddy spends most of his / her time smoking crack I always ignore him / her anyway.

    When I get a new club (or set) the first thing I do is go to Bethpage back 9 on practice with low winds and hit a ball up and down the fairway to get an accurate distance for each club. I do this with no spin, with full BS, with full TS, punch no spin, punch full BS, and for the wedges, flop, chip and pitch too. If you always do this with the SAME ball, it really doesn't matter which one you use, but for me I always use the Calloway i(s) as that is the ball I use 90% of the time.
