I picked up a dozen Snell golf balls recently. Heard nothing but good things, and as the "inventor" of the ProV1 and TM's Tour Preferred golf balls along with 31 patents, I figured it was worth the $32 for them. Bingo. He has a winner on his hands. Great ball. Up against any ball, it wouldn't lose. It might be a tie straight up, but it's not going to get beat. And, considering it's priced at 32 versus 45-55, that makes it a clear winner in my book.

Did it have a louder sound to it? I read up on it a bit a while back, and one of the complaints was the sound (at least off the driver) was pretty severe.

I would say slightly, but I just put a new shaft in the Bio Cell +. (Got a VTS 8X!!!) And the last round I played it had a 757, and I played a Chrome Soft. The Cally ball doesn't make much noise at all. The Snell was a little louder, but not in a bad way. Reminded me a lot of the ProV1X. Solid distance, bingo in the wind, enough feel and spin around the greens, and not a rock or marshmallow off the putter. It might be a little softer than the Chrome + I played the last 2 years at a similar price point. And since those are getting scarce, I think I'm going to keep playing my Snelly Balls.

We had to do sensitivity training at work today.

Meet Amy. She reminds me of Dome's Herpe-girl.

I worked in a hospital kitchen back in high school. Man, I'm telling you, if we didn't just sexually harass each other all day long, I don't know what we would have had to talk about. I suppose in retrospect that that was probably a VERY BAD situation for the people who didn't like it and had to "go along". And that was late 80's. I can't even imagine what it was like in the Don Draper days.

This looks a good point to post the Dennis Leary [i]Rescue Me[/i] sensitivity training link.




Best off you just google it yourselves. Shouldn't have to say this, but be warned of offensive everything in the clip.

You guys ever do a ball fitting at your course? Was it worth? Bridgestone is coming in May to my course.

It's free, so yeah. Bridgestone balls will be better than yours. However, it will show you some interesting information.

Ball fittings are one of those things I never really bothered with. Better to pick up a sleeve at minimal cost and take out in a real round. Most of the 'good' balls these days are so close that you're better off waiting for the occasional sale.

My experience with Bridgestone is that their fittings are launch monitor driven with a driver. Too small of a sample to switch golf balls.

Any of you guys have a 90-100g xstiff hybrid shaft you want to get rid of?

Try to get them and when you don't start a thread of what a croc the company is.

Then watch your post get deleted for simply asking why does it matter.

The whole rory 006 stuff is funny. One guy start a thread because he was *only* making 250 with the "lowball" bro-deal offer from another member. And others are saying it's ok to make $750 on this thing! And the complete opposite too. Guy says he doesn't care when his item is shipped, but has sent 7 pm's over the weekend without a response and open a paypal dispute and a thread. But he doesn't care...

Oh well. Did get to play 9 despite the 3 rain showers last night, so that was nice. Loving the Bio Cell + 5 wood. That thing is killer!

If you still have this next week, mind if I try it real quick in my RBZ at PS? The newer Fujis tend to be too tough for me to load consistently, which is why I've hesitated picking one up to date. I hit my Rombax 80B and P95 just fine. I'll be there early to hit balls and putt/chip.

You can absolutely try it. In a 3W, right? I have to butt trim and throw on a Royal Grip anyway. Since Global Golf had to cancel my 3/4 Bio Cell order I'm just sticking with one new shaft in my PING.

[TheCityGame]

What's the controversy with the 006 putter?

Are there people saying that you shouldn't be able to flip them if you got one?

Tell the NYSE and NASDAQ, and all investment and financial markets to shut it down, no one is allowed to make a profit. Companies needs to sell their goods and services at cost or the world will end. No more profit taking please.

another funny story.

Talking to a couple of guest at the retirement about golf. One guy plays plays and the other is starting. So, #1 guy just recently had a fitting. He got up to 103 swing speed with a 7 iron but loses it right...passive brag

#2 guy just starting but only plays because his FIL. He is listening and says well I hit my 7 iron 125 yards.

I stop, look, and say "he is talking about how fast he swings".

#2 guy says: Oh. Well, is 125 yards with a 7 iron not good? How far is the average 7 iron?

Me: No....probably 155-165 yards

#2: Damn I suck.

We al laugh. Suppose to play some rounds and hit up Top Golf.

It's funny how different golf can be just for 3 guys.

[vtnerf]

And it's funny because I think there were 2 different threads. One saying "sell it at cost to help a WRX'r out" and another by one that is upset about a member asking for the WRX deal because he had been on the site for some time and the seller was mad he was only going to make $250 in profit. There were a ton on his side saying he should sell it for a lot more! Good reading while sipping bourbon.
