re: How important do you consider the ball you play as a mid-handicap?

You honestly don’t think it matters around the green? Nitro vs ProV1x?

I know what you are saying, BUT learned how to play golf 50 years ago with hand-me-down, off-the-shelf Spaulding irons and persimmon woods.
Played a Top Flight golf ball, because there were not a lot of affordable options, and I was a beginner.
Went from a first timer to a 10 handicap in 2 years.
MAYBE I would have even better scores with a a softer ball but It's still all about making the shot with a good swing.
IMO, the ball only matters at a certain level – players that can create spin (low handicap players).
Currently a 9.1 and play Maxfli Tour X balls.

Where to get fitted?

Golf Galaxy
Club Champion
PGA Superstore
Some local Golf Clubs have PGA fitters on site
In my experience, some GolfTec studios have a tendency to up-sell you lesson packages and the like, so be leery of that.

Like others have said, you are probably not going to see the distance increases that you are hoping for, but they can reign in your dispersion.
For distance increases, you will need to work on YOU. Golf specific strength training and swing speed work will get you there.

re: Arrcos vs. Shotscope vs. Anything Else

Posted by mikedatyger on 6/11/26 at 10:36 am to AUjim

I used/use Shotscope tags and watch. I had no problem with it at all. They tweaked the website / interface and I do NOT like the changes they made.
Harder for me to find and get the data I want. I wear a watch anyway, so that is not a new feeling that disrupts my swing.
I’m not a big techie person, so I do not do big dives into the apps. :(

Another small annoyance is that they do not have an adapter for putter tags for the metal counterbalanced end caps that SuperStroke uses. Arrcos does.
Reached out to SS and they had not answer.

Chose it over Arrcos because you get same data and do not need a subscription.
If you do not like carrying your phone, wearing a watch, or clipping the Arrcos reader to your belt, I’m not sure what options you have.
Carry a portable launch monitor with you?

Any other suggestions ?

The Maxfli Tour S has very good buzz. MGS liked them a lot. Had great numbers. I still play the Maxfli Tour X.

re: Why does my lob wedge hate me ?

Posted by mikedatyger on 5/14/26 at 3:27 pm to bopper50

The bounce is what gets me.
I went with Edison Wedges as they have more player friendly bounce and "multi-plane" sole.

re: What ball are you gaming

Posted by mikedatyger on 5/5/26 at 10:25 am to JohnnyKilroy

Interesting. Too hard? Too soft? Have you tried all 3 Tour models?
The Tour S has REALLY good reviews.
I like the feel of the Tour, but I get better response from the Tour X.
Have not tried the Tour S.

Okay, I have played that one. Just did not remember the name.
Only remember a few of the holes. I do remember one of the levee holes.

Living on the West Bank, I would play Brechtel over that one for sure.

re: What age were you introduced to Golf? What age did you introduce your kids to Golf?

Posted by mikedatyger on 4/23/26 at 9:34 am to Riseupfromtherubble

I played football, baseball, and basketball since I was 9. I was introduced to golf at 14. It was love at first swing! Fifty-one years later and I'm still chasing that little white ball.
Could not get my kids interested at all, and I was not going to push them. My daughter has great hand-eye coordination, but thought golf was too boring. She played baseball, softball, and lacrosse. Flash forward to her young married life and she took lessons with her hubby. I’m so happy for that.

Yes, Swinging Mike Club would be better option. Wish I had the extra $1000.

Yes, I went to a practice round and brought my camera. It was awesome.
Probably did not take enough photos but the place is so cool, I did not want to waste time on photos and not just enjoy the atmosphere.

Need to do this at ALL concert venues NO PHONES.
