  Dose anyone know how much distance will effect the stated club distance for each ball of rated spin?Without any spin applied.I play cally (s) now,but want to play the lvl 71 nike.I bought a sleeve,and so far there really long compared to the stated distance of my club's.I dont have hours to try to map my club's.Can anyone help?

  with the R11's the average is 5 - 7 feet longer than the rating of the club.

  Yes, a couple of yards.

  The more dots of spin will negate the extra dots of distance with full back spin applied.

  I use the L34 Callaway z ball, with fbs it lands further by 1-4 yards (depending on club) than the L75 Nike x with fbs, it has less dots of distance than the Nike but critically less dots of spin too and stops just as well as the Nike with the L90 R11's.

  I have been given R11 yardage charts with the Nikes from top players and often wondered why my fbs landing yardage is further with each club except the PW, only thing that makes sense is the extra dots of spin on the Nike are negating the extra distance dots.

  Without any spin the same Nike lands about 1-2 yards further than my ball but once spin is applied the Nike loses more than the Callie z.

  In a nutshell, the higher the spin dots on the ball, the more yardage you will lose when full back spin is applied. (Especially noticeable where the spin dots are MORE than the distance dots, Callie s and Nike s for eg)

  Peace,

  Liz

  This makes sense to me Liz as I have gone back to the same Cally Ball, and with the R11 irons have noticed I have been long by an average of 3 yards, causing some nasty downhill  putts (I miss of course). I have got to the stage I need to map  my clubs again...sigh lol

  Send me a friend request (need your email address) and I'll send you my excel chart, saves you some ball waste smacking up and down f/ways at Bethpage :-)

  I must say though, at the moment ALL my clubs randomly take turns at landing further than ever before so confusion reigns lol

  Assuming a "severe variation" free scenario, my yardages are 99% spot on, if you want, you can have them. Also have wind factors etc on it which are fairly accurate too.

  if I could putt, I'd be famous lol

  Look at my profile page, i have charts for how much extra yardage you get with no spin and how much you lose in yardages with full spin or 3/4 spin.  (the chart is for R11's, but you can add subtract similar distances for burners.)

  Go for it....1st shot I used with them was a wedge shot on #17 Oly and eagled it....my wedges were new at the time and the iron charts ^^ are just as good.
