  Just finished a stroke play round with two other random players both of which were Legend tier.  We all had same conditions, same tee box and same driver, however we were all playing totally different golf balls.   

   

  

  Of course, I still want the yellow Callaway ball, but until then, I will save my cr's and go with the cheaper Srixons.  ;-)

  Which player/ball had the lowest score at the end of the round?

  How did the 200 credit Lvl13+ Srixon perform on approach shots with less spin?

  That's has a lot to do with scoring.

  I had the lowest score of 31 on St A's.  

  The other two players shot 33.  

  Surprisingly, the Srixon didn't give me too much trouble with stopping on the greens.  The Nike ball had a closer distance to the pin average, but not by much and I could have been closer had I not run into finger gastritis. lol

  What irons sets were being used?

  I have the Nike irons and the other two both played the R11's.

  I use the yellow Srixon's with the Rocketbladez, no trouble stopping the ball and with the SLDR 300+ drives are very much the norm. 

  I wish they'd bring out a yellow Lethal ball.

  hi

            seems like a big variable has been left out of your observation  "The other two players " .    

            percentage of dinged shots , type and amount of spin applied and even landing positions will all effect the outcome  

            playing the same round with different balls yourself  may yield much different results  

                                                                                                     (*¿*) ,lll

  ps   congrats on finishing with two other players seems rather difficult  lately

  yea,  i thought about that too, but without knowing their ding rates there is only the results i got to see at the end.

  However, I can say this....

  My ding rate is awful,  and I didn't see any of the drives get a super huge kick.  So I thought it was a pretty even result to post.  Been wanting to do so for a while now, finally got a round where the drive results seemed almost spot on...

  but good points though.

  Srixons are a great deal. Good solid ball.

  The Callaway Legend 45+ ball @ 300 credits is a good ball, the only downside is a 2 dot durability rating.
