    Still have over 50% snow cover in WI, but going to MS this weekend to see green greens.  On the range, can't get a feel for distance with balls burying in snow or bouncing on ice.  Went to a local big box and one of the floor guys did a gap check with their trackman into a net on mats.  Rather than use whatever white balls were in the bucket, I took in some Tri-speed Tour Yellows so that at least the ball characteristics would be consistent.  Consistent with the Pinnacles at the range, i'm getting a lot of loft. 

    21 910F Ilana A flex club speed 80 Launch 20.5 optimal 18.9

    17 910F Bassara A flex club speed 80 Launch 19.8, optimal 17.6

    24 910H Ilana R flex club speed 74 Launch 20.4 optimal 18.9

    And the other hybrids and irons (AD-65 A flex) were consistently higher than optimal, and all were about 10 yards after carry and optimal was 15-21 yards. I'd like to expect a little more roll out with the longer clubs.

    Should I think about getting refit for different shafts?  Will a more penetrating flight ball help?  Play the ball a little further back? I didn't take white Titleist balls - didn't want to mix them in with the beat up supplies in the stalls.  What are the most likely tips?  I do have access to an advanced fitting center once we see terra firma again.
