They had a launch monitor and had me hit a bunch of drives with some different balls.
Below are the results, which I will explain a little further below.
| Pro V1 | B330 RXS | Ideal | |
| club speed | 99.5 | 97.6 | 99.5 |
| ball velocity | 136.9 | 138.4 | 147.3 |
| launch angle | 10.4 | 12.7 | 12.7 |
| backspin | 3125 rpm | 2780 rpm | 2465 rpm |
| sidespin | +595 | -40 | 0 |
| carry | 232 yds | 239 yds | 258 yds |
I hit a bunch first with my current ball (Pro V1), then some with a Bridgestone B330 RXS. (They chose this one based on my club head speed). They claimed (supported by the launch monitor) that I got an additional 7 yards carry from the Bridgestone. Supposedly the Pro V1 is optimum for club head speeds over 105mph.
Anyhow, I will try out their recommendation. After all 7 yards carry would translate to maybe 10 yards further off the tee. Could be the difference between a 5 and 7 iron!!
The 'Ideal' column is the maximum performance I could achieve with my swing and current driver according to their software.
