  I saw the Taylor Made balls, but the Calloways were same price and seemed to be a little better, on stats at least. Maybe I will try Taylor Made Next. The ding is, at best, streaky with the Calloways. Even when I click on it, it seems to skip past. I switch to unlimited balls for a bit then switch back...seems to help. Thanks for the tip on the Taylor Made Balls Alps.

  How much short ?

   

  I am coming up anywhere from 4-7yds short.

  Also, to the others, I am guessing that you all have never heard of practice rounds. You just have to change some things on the settings when you go to shoot a ranked round ;). It seems as though you all just picked them up and hit them in ranked and tournament rounds. Sorry that I practice. And on the par 5 course...you get 3 shots to get it close to the hole. Which means that by the 3rd shot I am set up for an easy shot...so it's a close putt. Also, the majority of my ranked rounds are on the par5 course. And one last thing, that I am a bit ashamed to admit....I was using the "gimme" putt button alot. On the -18 round on par5 course, I only had to hit it within 10ft of hole and I hit the gimme...I didn't actually putt once during the entire round....well I did putt when outside of 10ft., but then hit gimme after that. With these clubs I was hitting green in two almost every hole. One long putt, one gimme. Anyways, don't believe the stats...and thanks for the help.

  The only problem with that excuse , is that you cant use the gimme  , or the mulligan , in ranked rounds . Also the game does not record practice rounds . When most of us started playing , those two options werent in the game . The mulligan and gimme options , were added over the past 6 months or so . So back up , and try again . Also , you will find that most of the older players like myself , know how and where to look in your profile , and find out the truth . So better luck next time .

  I don't play challenge skin games.  I've just started to play friendly practice skin matches with others.  

  I was shocked at that Gimme option.   I  really felt funny hiting the gimme button...lol  I know there is quite a few golf holes we have where a 2ft putt is very missable...lol

  To the OP...  If ya coming up short,  then take some b/spin off.

  In ranked rounds, not tournaments, it does give the gimme option, and for hacks it is 10ft. So, you can use the gimme option in ranked rounds. That's all I am going to say about that. 

  I have started to lesson the backspin, now to get the ball to stop where I would like it. I looked in threads for spin on calloways, but (a) there are so many, and (b) they almost all talk about calloway (s)...I can't get these calloway (s). I am figuring it out...but will probably hit through these calloways and then go with taylor made.
