Ready for "Driver Shootout". May have to wait a little, kinda windy here today. Want perfect conditions so that it is fair (to the Encore driver).

It's not going to be fair to any of the drivers if you are using basic shag balls. They should all be the same, in same condition. Cuts, nicks, any type blems, is going to distort the results of every hit. Wind or no wind.

btw, nice tee box!! Padded???

All balls will be equal. They will be a mixture of brands. No shag balls. Pro V, Precept, Bridgestone, Callaway, etc. Have 4000 to choose from. Mat is: https://www.dwquailgolf.com/training/Dura-Pro-4x5-Perfect-Reaction-Wood-Tee-Commercial-Driving-Range-Golf-Practice-Mats.html
10 year UV protection if used year round. I store inside. This is an amazing mat. Will last a lifetime (if you die when you should) when used for personal use. Used it quite a bit last year, and can't even tell it's been used at all. Great for irons. Nothing like it. Mine has the rubber tees also if you want to use them.
Each driver will have the same combination of balls.

Never hit any of those drivers. I’m gonna say the Amp Cell will have the best average and the 959 will yield the longest drive!

As a side, may get some info on the balls themselves. All will be documented. Of course the info gathered would only matter to those who have a measly swing like mine, if at all. Amp Cell is current gamer (from last year). Haven't hit a ball yet this year. Could have played today, but had things I had to do.

Nice set up! I only wish I had the land I grew up on so I could do the same. I’m going to have a little “ green” to shoot to from about 120 yards at the house I’m buying, but to hit driver... oh I’m jealous. When money comes through again, that mat needs to happen here too.

I wanna know if you can slice all of them equally. Have a slice shootout, because a huge slice is a thing of awesome power and beauty. 😉

sdandrea1 My drives are generally dead straight or straight with little fade at the end.

Nonetheless, we demand a slice shootout. 😉

How would that be done?

It's a joke. Apparently, a bad one.....................

Tentative date for shootout is Tuesday if forecast correct. I'm dropping the Pro V1X balls from test. There will be 12 balls each driver. Still waiting for a Ping 400 max donation for the test?
