From what I gather, range balls will never fly as long or true as balls that are used on the course for a proper round.
Even in my own limited experience I can 'feel' and notice the difference in my putting between using range balls (on the short course practice green) and the same putt using a good branded ball, even if it's not top quality.
I am also aware that my range shot doesnt roll/travel much after it's flight due to the iffier ground it lands on.
My questions:
If I hit a good sweet drive with my 3 wood on the range with a range ball, and it's first bounce is at the 150-175 mark, how much further would I expect a branded ball used in a game to fly?
How much further would I expect it to travel/roll, provided of course I hit the fairway?
So if I can factor in the natural improvement of proper balls & a proper fairway etc adding a regular yardage / percentage, then I'll be able to back off trying to hit it further and further on the range, and prob end up the extra distance without really trying and also with greater accuracy. Yes?
