Jon and Adam kick off with a detailed look at golf balls - whether premium models like the Pro V1X truly offer an advantage, what the data says about distance, spin, and aerodynamics, and how much ball choice really matters for different skill levels. They share insights from Ballnamic testing, personal fittings, and quality control issues in direct-to-consumer models, highlighting when spending more is worth it and when it’s just marketing hype. In the second half, they tackle some of golf’s most entrenched myths, from rate of closure and “squaring the face” to the old “drive for show, putt for dough."
