When I changed to an E6+, it cut the spin back to 2800 and the launch angle to 13. My swing speed was 92-95, ball speed was about 122 with the Nike, 130 with the E6+.

Now I have to try it on the course and see how it affects my driving distances.
I'm not a smart guy when it come to all the specifications of the game Rick...so what does a person do, spend bucks for a test to see what ball to buy or is there a chart. Right now Big 5 has Wilson's on sale
and I've had decent success as I know it.

PS. It had to be ball speed at a 100 not club speed
