Great Review on the balls J! Can't wait to try new XV. ;)

 

I just picked up some new XV's to try myself. They will be in the final test for sure.

[Mob]

You convinced me to buy a box of the XV's to try. Currently playing the Chrome Soft. I refuse to spend more than $35/dozen if I can find a good ball at a reasonable price.

XV is a stellar ball. My finalists will include Chrome Soft X, TM TP5X, and XV. I also might throw the BStone in but kinda getting tired of the ball testing at this point and my competitive season is going to be starting come March. My money right now is sticking and or moving into the new XV. For one I love everything about the ball and second, you can get them right now for $20/dozen. Kinda seems like a no brainer.

[Mob]

Where can you get them for that price? Is that for the 2016 or 2017?

[cz13X4]

with the test packs srixon is selling you can get the 2017 for about 10 bucks for 6 balls.....a killer promotion imo.

 

Would have been fun to see how the W/S fg tour stands up to these as well!

Correct. 6 ball tester packs for $9.99 at your local box store. People went crazy for the Ksigs at $15 when they really should be going crazy over this. The ball is 10x's better in every way.

I haven't been able to find the 6 ball packs anywhere near me. Very jealous of you guys who have, effectively $20 a dozen for what I think is one of the best balls out there and my go to all of last season in the XV.

Where are you located? They are in all Dicks and Golf Galaxy's that I have gone into in my area. Small display. If you don't look for it, you can miss it imho.

[J13]

yeah it's a small display usually on a counter. Each display holds 6 dozen. I know that because i bought one :D

[swanry30]

TP5x :)

[J13]

TP5x :)

 

Another great offering. Can't really go wrong with most premium balls this year.

[Deuce78]

I liked the 16 XV, so I just bought 6 dozen of the new 17 XV. Hopefully I like them....

You won't be disappointed. The 17 is better in every way IMO.

I took this afternoon off to play, as temps are making another drop in the Midwest on Friday, and the new Epic driver came in yesterday, then I saw the paint chip and crack on the crown, now can't even hit it today, have to send it back for a replacement.... :cry:

That's worse then not receiving it. Hopefully they get a new one out quickly.

I feel for you brah.

[J13]

1 New Toy arrived. Pic later as I'm in transit from New York :D

[Deuce78]

You home yet.... ;)

I do like my 17 xv's btw...thanks for turning me on to them.

[J13]

Deuce no prob and yes I'm finally hope. Here's the first toy to arrive. Stock Rogue Max but we all know that won't be staying for long :D

 

[Deuce78]

I don't want to spoil any news, and you may get to this later but the question is why not the ESZ? I'd speculate you'd want the lower spin option....

I called Maple Hill, and he said to go ahead and play it til they issue the call tag for it, so got to hit it today.

 

This will be the gamer this season for sure. Loving the results from 2 low heel strikes.

 

I am interested to hear your thoughts, as I just absolutely did not get along with any of the TM M drivers.

 

Happy testing.

I went through a fitting already to decide between the two heads and the GBB Epic gave me more consistent numbers in spin, launch, and dispersion. I thought SZ all the way but numbers don't lie. Played 9 this morning and practiced, initial impression when I get home. Also another toy showed up :D Pics later
