iv'e been switching between the unlimeted ball and the new golf balls and i'm finding that there is less forgiveness in the new ones. anyone else notice this?
I don't think so. If you compare the dynamics of the new balls with the old ones, the only changes in the stats are improvements. If they are less forgiving, it wasn't publically disclosed by WGT.
I don't think they're less forgiving, they just fly longer distances than normal balls & thus land in rough at times when normal balls wouldn't. I frequently need to employ back spin on the advanced balls to prevent them from rolling / flying too far from where the aim was.
