He gained 25 yards of distance and become more accurate quite literally overnight. I don't know why y'all are getting so upset, I like Phil and he would have been a very good player either way (compared to his peers obviously he'd be worlds better than 99.9% of people either way, but I wasnt aware we weren't smart enough to be able to infer that).

You can look at the stats. He went from about 288 off the tee to 306 off the tee while becoming MORE accurate.

If you don't think the ball makes a world of difference I don't know what to tell you. Balatas weren't even perfectly round until like the mid 80s

You're posting as if only Phil could use them

I mean, you've posted some pretty dumb shite on multiple boards, but this it the worst of all.

Phil won exactly one of his five majors with the Pro V1.
