Interesting article from Golf Digest about ball spin and launch.

Take a look...

THAT is some good, objective information. Looks like the Pro V1/V1x will stop the fastest, with the Srixon balls coming in at a close second. Very interesting. I've seen studies on spin before, but I've never seen them incorporate launch angle to extrapolate actual collective stopping power. I dig it. Nice find, Watson!

EDIT: I gave them too much credit. They haven't combined the launch angle and spin rate to extrapolate stopping power. They're just made a little illustration. WE can infer that anything far right spins a lot, and anything high on that right side should stop faster than what is below it. In THAT sense, they've given us some very worthwhile information.

That's why I'm Sherlock, and you're Watson, Watson!

Liking where that Gamer V2 ended up...beating out most of the midrange balls.

EDIT: The E5 which i also play on occasion placed well also for the price point.

That V2 Gamer is really getting good reviews everywhere. Price/Performance it seems to be the best buy by far.
I would have liked some other balls to be reviewed there, like the TM Burner TP or the Wilson FG Tour...
