I've just noticed the test is over a few months. Hope they are sending 6 dozen if they are sending any to me as I'll need that many to last that long. :mmm:
Mizuno ball testing
- Thread starter PaulOHagan
- Start date
So could that have a big effect off the tee?
I was at times, mostly level with other peoples drives but off to the left so I wasn't losing overall distance but without the long draw/hook/pull, or whatever it was, I would have carried further if slightly straighter and not having to chip or dig it out which cost me dearly over the 2 days! With no 2nd cut and just narrow fairway and then gorse, it was so frustrating to be just off at times.
I should have done what Valentino did on the 16th or 17th at RL and use the other fairways next to the ones your supposed to be on, and still score 39!
These Bridgestone RXS must me magic balls if they only hook with a driver
I'll have to get a couple to use on our dogleg left holes

Who said it was only with a driver, which I don't use?
I "drive" with a 13* 3w which has been excellent but I had 2 days of the right-to-left brigade creep in which was totally new for me and not experienced before which is why I am asking the question, could it be a too spinny a ball exaggerating a slight imperfection which another ball wouldn't necessary expose?
My irons mainly 6i down were fine on approaches to the green with a hint of a right-to-left still but nothing too drastic. It just got to me as I couldn't fathom what, if anything, I was doing differently!
Will have a knock tomorrow at my own course in preparation for the AM-AM I'm playing in on Friday at Lingdale and see whats-what.
its just you said in both your posts about "drives"
It must be a swing fault of some sort. I thought the RXS was less spinny than the RX but i could be wrong though. The Older ProV 1X spins less than i normal Pro v, i tend to lose a bit of distance with one, but in very windy conditions it flys a bit lower and doesn't ballon into the wind as much.
I' was given a box of the New ProV1 X last week and just waiting for a comp to use one and see how they go.

1. Fish you are very naughty. Get back to using your Hex Black Tours right away!!!! 
2. the RXS do spin more than the RX
3. I've found that the Hex Black Tours seem to want to 'stay' straighter than any of the Bridgestone 330 range
Thing is it comes down to what you want. I just don't like the HBTs around the green. If I did I'd play them the time. What is interesting is what is happening in ball design:
Callaway have the hex dimple pattern which reduces drag so if my physics is right that'd reduce the effect of lateral spin on a drive
Bridgestone have got the dual dimple approach to reduce spin off a driver
Mizuno & Srixon have looked at ball coating to improve spin on the short game shots

I know, but I got caught short and they didn't have any Hex Tours at Formby so I just tried something new, and it bit me in the @rse
I'll get some Callaways Dad, sorry for being naughty

Six balls received today - excellent - thanks GM :thup:
Just need some decent golfing weather to give them a proper test. Might take 3 to St Andrews in April

Probably just down to the Royal Mail. You'll get yours tomorrow and some of us will need to wait until Saturday!

No sign on any Mizuno balls here. Slight tinge of disappointment but not the end of the world. Would be nice to try them without parting with cash but can't win every(any)thing
