Re: ShopTalk: (Not Clubmaking) Golf Ball Question

MyKey,   I respect you too much to say you didn't hear what you think you heard.  Just as a quick example... check this website.. this one shows compression on the first tab. Some of the other show it in the spec sheets.    http://www.golfballs.com/prodDetail.aspx?sku=B1284-NWHA   Another quick search under Slazenger mentions "low compression" but stops short of listing the compression.  http://www.slazengergolf.com/fusion.htm   Titleist lists the NXT and SoLo as "soft compression" balls on their web site. They stop short of giving the compresssion but golfballs.com lists the specs on the NXT as "mid 60s ball compression".  So whether or not the compression is provided to the golfer, the comments by Slazenger and Titleist indicate that they still consider compression.   Hell I'm old but I remember using women's golf balls in freezing weather because they were 80 compression and got more distance.  In the tropics of the Philippines and Singapore (practically on the equator) we used nothing less than 100 compression. Here in Hawaii I was using 90 compression during the dry season, Summer, and 100 in the rainy season, Winter.  All I know is that to me it makes a difference.   Love Ya Man!!!   Cub ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 6:36 PM Subject: Re: ShopTalk: (Not Clubmaking) Golf Ball Question Cub,  Geese maybe someone ought to tell Ralph Maltby cause he is in this expensive lab setting doing all those experiments with ball flight and putter playability using new balls. And heck that is just the information he relayed to us at the Masters Program. You think I got it wrong? Cause seems like they listed all the newly manufactured balls on that spec sheet.  The fact that compression ratings were no longer used was the topic we were on that day and those lists had the materials and the composites and all kinds of stuff. Maybe I just missed the numbers on that page cause there weren't any boxes. I dunno maybe some us have been using old balls - I know my sorry ones are. CYA in Louisville. Inkind, MyKey
