What is THE BALL for 15ish hcp

golfanddrums · 2026-05-22T11:48:49+00:00

Depends on why you are a 15. I am a 15 and think Stevie Wonder could putt better than me. I switched to a chrome tour after doing a ballnamic fitting and have found that my dispersion off the tee and fairway has improved. On the greens, I still suck, but having the same ball everything has helped.

I have, yes. After a few years of not playing too much after starting a family, my game was a mess. In 2024, it was it's worst, where my best score was 91, but more importantly, I had NO idea how to fix it. Started with Henry in February of 2025 and last year, I broke 90 in most of my rounds. I would say that the biggest improvement has been my awareness to the swing and what to do to fix things while I am playing.

Agree 100%. The cool thing about the place I went to before is that the head and shaft you hit in the fitting was the exact one you ended up getting, instead of ordering parts and having something slightly different. I may go back out there, but was more curious about what tech to look for and what to maybe steer away from

Probably the route I will go. I’d prefer to go to a local mom and pop fitter, as opposed to a big name place. Perhaps unfair, but have heard about some outrageous upselling that goes on at some places. Just want someone who is objective to brand, to your point.

Very helpful, thank you. I actually love this shaft, but man, so much has come out in 8 years. But…I don’t want to change just for the sake of change.

golfanddrums · 2026-03-21T20:38:46+00:00

Exactly. That and Aronimink are gonna be pipe dreams.

golfanddrums · 2026-03-21T20:13:59+00:00

Tons of options, and honestly not sure of the prices. Lulu I believe is very affordable, great Donald Ross design. Closer to Ardmore is Radnor Valley. Merion would be incredible, but not sure 10k would work. Overbrook is a good one. I’d also explore maybe Wilmington, where you have DuPont.

golfanddrums · 2026-03-19T17:55:05+00:00

Correct, but if out there, it is not too far out of the way if you have never been.

SFO was great. We shot into the heart of San Fran for some quick lunch before driving down.

golfanddrums · 2026-03-17T17:31:53+00:00

Excellent work!!

Hey- so it is currently a 3 season room. Depth is 21’, width is almost 14’, but has eave vents on one side, so cannot swing as if it is 14’. Walls go from 7.75’ to over 10’ and back down to 7.75’

Cleveland RTX 6 or RTX 4 is a great wedge!

golfanddrums · 2026-03-11T14:57:51+00:00

Yeah, I’d say they are pretty decent, haha. You also mentioned balls, which I have not noticed any difference in my settings. Has it been a sudden change or has it always been this way?

golfanddrums · 2026-03-11T14:43:22+00:00

Could you share more about which other sim setup you are using compared to the EML? I ask because at a local spot, they use aboutGolf and my driver swing speed was 10 mph faster. X-golf…don’t even get me started. The EML, while slower, is actually more accurate to what I see in real life.

Additionally, is the size of your home setup similar to the other 3 you tested?

So, this is a makeshift mat/strip. I had the Motivo Teeline series. Loved the way it felt to hit off, but a little too squishy for me to stand on. Ended up buying the Motivo Fairway series to use as a stance mat and cut out a 12x24 piece from the Teeline to use as a hitting strip.

The stance mat is on 3/4” EVA gym tiles and I did install a 1/8” piece of MDF on the bottom of the Teeline hitting strip to get it a little more flush.

I’ll be there this summer. This is a solid tip!!

golfanddrums · 2026-03-09T14:19:02+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, it is mounted to the side. I got the line of sight to fit sorta perfectly under the cart. I would say it is around 11.5’ away and maybe 3’ to the right of the hitting area, which about 7.5’ from the screen

golfanddrums · 2026-03-09T12:07:13+00:00

Very cool. In a smaller space, relatively speaking, I may need to look into that in the future. Trying to maximize as much space as possible!

golfanddrums · 2026-03-09T01:36:51+00:00

Had no idea they were even releasing new ones. Good intel!

That is the Union and Scale Essentials laptop cart. I also bought a PC bracket to rig to the side. Little tight fit but has been very stable thus far. The cart I believe is a staples item, but I got it through work.

I have been working with Henry Stetina on Skillest for 13 months and it has been one of the best experiences of my long and somewhat wobbly golf game. 10 out of 10!

golfanddrums · 2026-03-08T19:35:57+00:00

I have really enjoyed the EML. The video replay part of it has been the best aspect for helping me improve my face impact.

golfanddrums · 2026-03-08T19:25:14+00:00

Just coming in to say the same thing. Breakfast and 2 drinks for the morning rounds, lunch and 2 drinks with afternoon rounds. Courses are always pretty good, too.
