My buddy let me try one and I felt the biggest difference with my irons much softer feel but distance was the same. Also and this may sound weird but putting it felt like new ProV came off putter face a little smoother ball rolled really well.
i think the driving distance is more important than 9%!
David,
As you shorten a shaft it will play stiffer than the original length. As for the torque I do not believe there will be any effect as this is the twisting of the shaft tip which has not been altered. Taking off a 1/4 of an inch is not much and…
Whenever I have to play by myself you have just described my greatest fear especially since I have been playing for 42 years and don't have one yet. I have came extremly close a lot of times but have not made one yet. 9szuda
If you're talking about the test balls that some of us tested, we probably won't know any specs until after the begining of the New Year. However, if you're talking about the 2009 model, check this out: http://www.titleist.com/golfballs/Prov1x…
Thanks for your answer,
