I played a one-person scramble with the new test balls and my usual ProV1 this weekend.  I was impressed with the distance off the tee and with how it played with my long irons, but wasn't sure about the feel around the greens.  Then, the next day, I was playing with a friend on my home course. She'd never played my course, and she was sitting in a deep green-side bunker on a hole where the green slopes severely away from the bunker into a deep - but dry - ravine on the other side.  She asked me how to play the shot.  I said, "you have to spin this shot and hold the green or you'll be in the ravine, and it's a *** to play out of there."  She laughed and said, "Oh, yeah, I just have to hit the green and spin it."  I responded, quite seriously, "Yeah."  She hit her shot and got out, but it hit the green and rolled well off into the ravine.  I said, "Let me show you."  Now, I'm not a good golfer.  I'm 58 and just started playing a few years ago, and my index is about 23 (to her 15), but I do play sand well.  (Perhaps because I get so much practice!)  I only had the test balls with me, and I didn't have much confidence in the spin of the ball, but I dropped my ball into the bunker and slapped it out onto the green, and it held within 10 feet.  I was surprised, but pleased.  My friend was not so happy, but what could I say?  The ball apparently had better spin around the greens than I had given it credit for.
