  I cant seem to dial my R11s in i have charts for every club with all the backspin and distances from 100%-95%

  Some of the distances are right some are not, im using a cheap srixon cause its all i can afford, but im guessing the ball on these tests would have been a nike.

  Do you think this is the reason?

  Absolutely . A better ball , will give better results . The balls give a different distance. That is why you have to find a ball , according to your needs . So select a ball that you will play with all of the time . Then you chart using that ball . If you are going to use multiple balls , then you will need multiple charts , or charts from other players using that ball . Good luck , and hope this helps.

  Just use the chart you have and adjust accordingly.  Using someone else's mapping chart is only just a good starting point.  You can't know for sure if  they use only dinged shots or average of 10 shots including missed dings? 

  Create a new chart, hit shots based on the chart you already have and write in the results you get with your regular game ball.   Then you'll have two charts just in case you ever decide to try the nike ball.

  Just to confuse ya - Ur nike irons with a Nike ball, will not go the same distance as my Nike irons and a Nike ball.
