I want to discuss a comment I received recently from a viewer. The viewer claimed I was spreading misinformation. I want to explain the way I do my rankings and reviews.

Why oh why would you give us incomplete info, 😂😂😂😂 It doesn’t matter if a ball hits well for us it matters what happens in laboratory testing😂😂😂 I hope this sarcasm comes across ok……Ya know I have enjoyed your channel for a long time now….Relatable everyday bloke…..much better experienced golfer than I am….keep on keeping on man👍👍
I like ball and equipment reviews. I only wish you were able to do more. They’re fun to watch. But I try to watch all your vids anyway. Keep doing your channel the way you like. Fans will find you, and you can’t please everyone. ⛳️
I enjoy your channel because of your approach to the game and all aspects of the game, including equipment. You give solid info for amateurs who appreciate the game and want to get better. That’s it! You don’t make grand scientific claims or claim your way is the best way, just honest opinions and thoughts on this game we all love. Plus, your game is tight and many of us aspire to play somewhat on your level. You make having a good game look attainable to the average golfer. Keep doing you. All of us appreciate you.
Always going to be someone to complain , keep doing what you do .
Keep up the great work. Just ignore the haters.
Keep on sharing! Appreciate your videos!
I absolutely love your content… Trolls will be trolls..
Titleist makes Pinnacle golf balls, the chance of one being out of balance is the same as any other Titleist golf ball, even the "famous" Pro V1 balls can be out of balance it has been proven with tests.. the results are not misleading, it is the responsibility of the viewer to use the data as it fits their game. So I would say continue to do your reviews.
Right…."Back to the golf"…exactly what I think….Oh, and that guy that launched the club…could you check? If that's a CBX wedge, 50 degrees…I could use one!
Your efforts and knowledge are very much appreciated!
The only golfers I dislike are elitist golfers who think they know everything. You're reviews are for us, average golfers who love the game and our goal is to break 90 and at least once per summer break 80. I like how you compare your results to the Prov 1.
Keep doing what you are doing good honest videos.👍
its not that serious. we appreciate your videos.
These TESTS are YOUR results and "we" should understand. Keep doing what you do, that's why I'm here!
This person is crazy if they think only $50-60 dollar golf balls are perfect. For the everyday player there are plenty of $30-35 dollar golf balls that are perfectly balanced and centered.
Keep doing what you do! Love your common man testing!
That comment's made by an inexpert golfer and it's very easy to refute:
1. Premium balls have been found less balanced per box than cheap balls as they showed on a YT video regarding the issue where they found 3 balls big time out-of-wack in a dozen box. Out of a $55 box of 12 there were $4.5ea x 3 = $14 bucks wasted.
This video is even worse! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbl0-gONBT4
That's why Bryson Dechambeau put ever ball he uses in water to check if they're in balance due to the positioning of the inner core. More over, they found out there's no perfect ball! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FWTH2KfymQ
2. Reason? They most are 3 to 5-piece built, hence more chances of manufacturing error
3. 2-piece balls are way more simple to manufacture with less parts to deal with, and not all, but most of them are built by the same company that sell the premium ones

Dude don't pay any attention to guys like that! Keep doing you because we love it. You and I are about the same SS, but I am a lot more erratic than you on the course, so I really enjoy watching you. Your Truth review is what most of us look for when choosing a ball. Anyway, don't get down from the one guy out of 100 who has to be negative.
Really like how you trigger your swing with a knee flex. I usually stand there like a statue and have tried different methods but they never stick.
Respect to you MSH. Wish I had half your game!
I am SURE, anyone who watches your ball test, is watching other reviews as well. NO ONE watches just one, “which ball to use” review. I can’t speak for the commenter personally, but chances are, people who dispute you, are probably regurgitating information from another review video. Again I can’t speak for that person though. Just saying how do we know that person even knows what they’re talking about🤷🏾♂️
Dude can make his own damn video if he didn't like it… people are dumb man don't give them any attention
I think there's a world for both reviews, as you pointed out the my golf spy guys sort of break it down from the inside out.
That said, I really appreciate your on the course, real world real golfer reviews. I also find these reviews entertaining, I guess take that with a grain of salt. But after a long day of work or something like that, I enjoy sitting down and watching your videos, helps me relax and I'm learning a little bit.
I feel the same way about your club reviews. As a nine handicap, I'm not really that interested in how Rory McIlroy hits his irons, or what a robot can do. I love seeing these videos where let's say a good golfer, playing a municipal course is giving us a play-by-play and feedback. To me, that's very helpful. And anyway we already know what this other commenter posted, these very cheap balls made in China or some of taiwan's lesser-known factories are not going to be perfect. And anyone that's a low single digit golfer knows that and is most likely not going to play a $15 box of pinnacles.
So anyway, keep up the good work, your videos are very relatable, very enjoyable to watch and I'm learning something that I can usually apply to my own game.
Love the test videos. An honest opinion of what you found – great stuff, as always.
Keep up the great work. I trust your reviews and opinions. Thanks for all you do!!
My good sir, you handled that beautifully. And I think a lot of these ball reviews are more in depth then they need to be, especially for the average player. 👏 Keep doing things your way.
That comment was BS…. You do a good job of using valid statistics in your ball reviews, along with using a benchmark, and you define your terms. Golf is a lot about feel, and you talk about that as well. What ball do you like to use currently? Thanks for your videos, please keep them coming.
I have a YouTube channel in the DIY/Woodworking space. I had someone complaining in my comments about the pricing I gave on a tool I was reviewing. The video was over a year old. Yeah. The price changed a little in a year. Sorry, I can't predict the future.
Your ball reviews are great. They got me to try the Wilson Triad and I love that ball. Ignore the haters and keep up the great work.
You gotta love when they say "I love ya man" with their lips, but then basically demonstrate how they hate you haha 😅
I don't recall the "5 Best Cheap Golf Balls" vid, but part of what makes a "cheap" golf ball sometimes is, like many other products in this or other markets, build consistency. So to me it's just part and parcel of the budget category (I'm not convinced that the average budget ball purchaser will even notice any slight inconsistencies). Seems to me like the commenter might have a little too much time on their hands. Keep doing what you're doing, MSH! Illegitimi non carborundum.
Yeah. Just ignore him. You’re saving us money because you purchase or acquire the balls and we don’t have to. Your testing is similar to how we would too. Thank you for proving content that is enjoyable to watch!
I like your ball tests,you gather data outside where we play.I am glad My Golf Spy exists I just don't obsess about their results.
Great video. 99% of amateur golfers wouldn't know if a ball is out of balance or not so the guys comment is moot.
Keep doing what you are doing MSH. I appreciate your feedback about the feel of the ball and the distance.
Real golf. On a real course. By a real golfer that is very consistent with their ball striking, is way better than only using launch monitors, indoors, off a mat, with a robot. It’s obvious you never intended for your reviews to be full on QC efforts. It’s helpful to see how the balls perform in the wild. Ignore the white noise. He probably plays off a -28 handicap.
