01

Begin around the green

Test chips, pitches, and bunker shots first. If you cannot predict rollout, extra driver distance will not make the ball a better fit.

02

Watch iron windows

Compare peak height, curve, and how the ball lands with mid-irons. A useful ball repeats the flight you expect rather than creating occasional extremes.

03

Finish with the driver

Once two balls perform around the green, compare driver carry and curvature. Keep price and durability in the final decision.

Use this guide on the course

Write down the result you want, test one variable at a time, and keep the option that produces the most repeatable pattern—not the single best shot.
