Unlike most others it seems, I did not loose the first ball. Not that I am better than them, NO WAY. Just got lucky. I have one the shelf for keepers. Still have the other two. So to the test.
Feel was really good. Much softer off the club. Kind of a bit too soft, but I can get used to it. I found myself swinging easier cause of the feel. That improved the score I will guess. The increased spin is an issue for me. Had three spin off the green after landing behind the pin. Granted, I need to learn how to control that. Off the Tee, the added spin did make my natural draw aiming kind of a joke. It took five holes before I really got used that spin off the Tee. Made the dog legs a bit easier, I like that. The fast I can get a wedge in my hand the better. Speaking of wedges; the new ball did not cut as harshly. I did use an older ball and hit the same shot, and could see the difference in the cut surface of the ball. Putting. I had to move to the Blacked Out Laguna. My Newport was too heavy and I was pushing the ball past the hole. The softer feel, lighter putter, with the Marsh mellow feeling face, was a bit money. I gave a couple skins back, but made up to it with closest to pin, and long drive. Thanks Team Titleist for the $190.00.
