I'm a bit confused. If I was testing with the driver, I'd write down the carry distances. But it seems as though you were hitting pitching wedge or 9 iron, in which case I'm not really sure why the carry distance is what you've deemed most important? Wouldn't you be more interested in dispersion, stopping distance, stuff like that? i.e. for hitting a green? Seems like a weirdly pointless test to only note down carry distance with a short club.
Knowing the carry distance of your chosen ball is obviously important. But not comparing them in this manner?I'd argue that carry distances are more important with the shorter clubs, as that is where the precision is needed.
Ok.. that's absolutely nothing to do with what I was saying though.I was using a 9iron on the garmin r10. My handicap is 24 although I haven’t handed in a card for a good while and broke my PB again today with +11 and last few time I’ve played against the greenkeeper who plays off 10 I’ve beat him.
@Orikoru i don’t know why total distance would be important, personally I’m only interested in my carry distances. I hit my 6 iron pretty consistent at 180 carry and on the first hole at my local is a very flat par 4 so can maybe at a push get 200 out of it and I’ll hit a 6 iron if I am not confident in my driver and it being the first tee. On the 18th hole another par 4 but there’s a slope at the right hand side and I can usually hit it and my 6 iron goes 240/260 depending on the bonce I get. So how far do I hit my 6 iron total is it 200 or 260 ? It’s completely irrelevant no hole has the same run out so I will stick to carry only.
Lol...a handicap of 24 and a 200 yard 6 iron.
All I can add is, I need more than 3 clubs for a 60 yard distance gap

I was looking through my bag of balls today and noticed a had quite a few different brands so picked the best ones out and hit 10 shots with each ball and I’ll post the results. The only brand new ball was the inesis tour 900 and by far the best feeling for me was both the srixon balls.
