+TourSpecGolfer Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 WoW, look how low the spin is on the Titleist Gran Z!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxio Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Just confirms that the Gran Z is not a premium-performance ball. Just high priced. Similar to the TS V10. High priced, but not a "tour-level" ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taipanli Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 The TS V10 is a crap ball, goes nowhere. I play the Srixon Z-URC and like it a lot. As the tests show, it has the distance and the softness I like. Surprising to see the Miz T301 being so long - I had tried a couple of Cs and Ds and thought they were horrible. Could you check on the results of the XXIO and new XXIO DC balls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxio Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Taipanli, The only XXIO on the test is an older model. The TS V10 is apprently for the guys who prefer the long and soft type balls. I would be very surprised if this is the ball that AM really plays and not a version of the X01. I agree, we all got duped on the original Miz balls. I had to pull a few strings to get the C301, and was immensely disappointed. I tried the T301 as a "tour sample" about 5 weeks ago. I quit because I was in a slump then. Results then were already better than the C301. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taipanli Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Could you give me the figures for the older XXIO ball? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunee Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I am REALLY surprised how much spin the Nike balls have.....AND how close they are together. I would have thought them to have a LOT more separation in the spin department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
