  Hey guys I just started playing and I have all the basic gear.  My driver is supposed to hit it 225 on average.  I was wondering if I upgrade my balls does that new distance I'll be getting get calculated into that number?  Like will it then say 235 or does it stay the same and I have to figure it out myself?  Thanks

  Auto caddie distance numbers for the clubs never change.  You'll need to factor in elevation, wind and yes, improved ball distance yourself.  There have been times I wish they had a higher end ball with a lot of feel, spin and longevity without improved distance.

  But his average driving distance that's noted in his Stats will trend up with the better driver.  Or better balls.

  I tend to choose spin over distance when selecting balls
