I use HX Tour 56's at $50 a dozen because I lose about 6 balls a year at most. Should I be recommending these to a guy that loses 6 per round? According to this data and my feelings on the ball itself, yes, I should. But that make no financial sense. You MAY see an increase in distance, but is it worth $500 a year in golf balls? I doubt it.
I've seen with my own eyes guys play better INSTANTLY with the use of a higher end ball. I won't be swung using data gathered from the BEST players on the planet. I'd rather use average joe and self gathered data and go from there.
