There have been a few new models around, and whilst the ever present element of feel is important I thought it would be silly not to take up the fitting set up at the range today, that had a slot.
As it turns out it may actually have been silly to do it - it was certainly expensive!
Having only bought a few boxes on very special occasions over the last 25 years (I will admit to having bought loads before that...) i've been happy to play balls I pick up that seem to do the job for me. Generally I've recently enjoyed Chromesoft and RX330RXS as preferred, most premium balls etc etc
Well a bit of time with a 7 iron, wedge and CG2 (or whatever it was) convinced me to actually buy a box of balls.....
RXS was a reasonable fit for me, and gave better numbers than most, but another ball delivered best ball speed, spin and carry with the 7 iron, and best spin on my attempts at a 50yd 'long pitch'.
So, I'm off to a match at the Addington tomorrow with a sleeve in the bag to see what happens in the real world...but with a lighter wallet and a real dread that I may end up buying balls again 😭
I'll share the experience, and the ball, later tomorrow.
