Only thing that's annoying is that they've changed the shot from a 40 yard to 50 yard pitch shot, meaning you can't compare to last years chart.

So it's basically descent angle versus spin with no way to quantify that data. Great???

Also, how is this player test conducted? Is it just one player hitting a few shots with each? EDIT: re read the article and it says multiple players. They also claim the expensive balls had less spin in variance, but were pretty vague about it. They should publish the variances as that could be helpful along with averages.

...maybe deceive is too strong a word. Most people wouldn't know how to interpret the data but I'd like to see it anyway. Robot hitting tests with the ball strike 3/4" out on the toe for example.

Even more evidence that MTB Black and Red are great balls. Looks like I'll be purchasing some MTB Red for this season.

Agree, deceiving may be too harsh...but it is an interesting topic.
Position A = Use real people, taking real shots and publish results
argument = varying handicaps, different clubs, everyone strikes the ball differently, is a 50 yard shot a true indicator of absolute spin? = I can't trust this data
Position B = Use a controlled Iron Byron type setup, exact same conditions
argument = no one hits the ball in the same location every time, my swing is not like Iron Byrons = I can't trust this data
Bottom line = use the data as a gauge, not an absolute.
I do still think I'd prefer to see an Iron Byron experiment - 50 yard, 100 yard same exact club/strike/conditions for each ball.

Yes, that is a shame, because it spins almost as much as the Bridgestone Tour B RX, and more than the Snell MTB Black.
I happen to like Titleist golf balls.

I agree, but if you think these results are clustered, the driver test would be even more so. Modern balls are all very similar off the driver.
