Resolved Question: Asking a pro about playing a scuffed ball?
wile playing a very well played round of golf i just grabbed an old XL200 out of my bag. it had a few nice scuffs on it but it wasn’t a windy day so i kept playing it.. like a major league pitcher enjoying the way he can work a ball that has hit the dirt and scuffed up a bit i found that i could work this ball well and though i was hitting the ball well it was like i could make it do anything i wanted. my QUESTION IS , do pro,s play with a scuffed ball on occasion and does it give them an advantage to a shiny new one when it relates to spin and holding on the green or working the ball?
Example, i can it a slight draw or fade but a came up on a par for where a fade was ok but without changing my fade swing i put the scuffed part of the ball facing my club face at impact , i took a bigger swing knowing i could pull off a nice fade and got a bit more spin on the ball and it made the corner much shorter as i got more distance with the big swing but my ball also made a great turn at the end and left me about a 90 yard aproach where my normal fade would have left me the usual 140. if i tried to put that much spin on the ball with my club i would have been more likely to mishit my shot or slice into an unplayable lie. im thinking it was the scuff ?
No i wasnt cheeting ! i listed one example off of the tee only.. but im sure a scuff grabs more air and turns the ball in flight a bit more in adition to grab on the club face if it makes contact with the grooves .. but does it also grab the green harder? like a scuff on a bowling ball grabs the lanes?
