  This is how they compare with my usual Callys.

  I have r-11 irons and good wedges, will I be able to adjust to the loss of spin?

  I'd like to hear your opinions and hopefully save a few creds

  .Thanks in advance.

  You may be shooting yourself in the foot. Look at that durability and think about how fast the Legend ball is going to get used up. You might pay more up front for the Callaways but you won't be paying it as often.

  I used to use the Tour-SD because of the 65 credit tag until I was gifted the Callaway (s) ball. I was amazed at just how much longer they lasted with that extra dot of durability and it turned out the cost difference between the two was almost equal. No need to mention the added benefits.  :-)

   

  p.s., It was kinda cool when one of those SDs went into the drink-only 22 credits lost.  ;-)

  Thanks for that, I'll maybe stick to what I know then.

  Although the last point may be worth thinking about...me being Scottish.

  Despite of thinking Scottish sometimes, I dropped the SDs for the lvl33 Callies. They add length and spin, and provide a slower meter.

  The cost side is less friendly to us:

  According to the well-known tables, the Callies have only 10 strokes more (120 vs. 110) and the costs per 9 holes have been calculated to 14.6 against 4.1 credits.

  You also need to consider , less feel . The r11s are fast , and the 1/2 dot of feel will make a difference . Buy a sleeve , and play some practice rounds .Then you will see , just what you are getting . Hope this helps .Happy Swingin :-)
