  As I am a new legend 20-30 games into the level

  got a question do balls fly farther at legend level it seems that at TM level the balls would fly and more or less stop when landing 9 irons and wedges now at legend level the same shot distance etc.. the ball lands and then releases a few extra yards.

  other question just curious what settings do you find are the best to play at on off best etc......

  You are using Legend balls, that's the difference.

  Legend greens are also a bit faster. So I assume they may release a bit more. I'm not sure though, still a TM.

  That's the difference in green speeds working. Like BM pointed out, the Legend greens are faster than the TM speed you were used to. Yes, I know they're both called Tournament speeds, the Legend Tournament speed is faster.

  believe piz  might have it with the balls laughing the lower z calloway has a longer durability going back to that one

  as to faster greens which I admit is a full 10th of a percent different in caculating down putts

  would the faster greens actually affect the stopping power of ball approaches?

  hmmmmm

  No question. The biggest difference between Burners and R11's is that the R11 3, 4 and 5 irons  will hold those approaches.
