FOLLOWING THE EVENTS OF CITRUSVILLE, FL.

What the Hell is a Tender Golf Ball Anyway? | MyGolfSpy

Celebrity News Today -

Relying on whom you ask, the timeline and gamers differ however there’s a model of occasions resulting in the emergence of soppy golf balls that goes a little bit one thing like this.

Principle made the Girl. Dudes beloved it, however you already know…ego. And, so, Girl spawned Laddie. By the point Bridgestone made the RX, golf firms had found out that, efficiency implications apart, golfers favored gentle golf balls. DUO was born. Callaway transitioned from SR-1 to Chrome Tender and in doing so created the ball that modified the ball that Bridgestone had arguably already modified, and properly, right here we’re.

Relying in your affinity for gentle golf balls, you possibly can credit score or blame preference-driven golfers whose penchant for whacking marshmallows inadvertently created the contemporary hell that’s the nebulous world of soppy balls.

(Center-finger emoji.)

Really feel and Compression

Simply to convey everybody up to the mark right here; gentle really feel is primarily the results of low compression. Compression is a measure of how a lot a ball deforms underneath load. The tougher the ball, the much less it deforms.

Most of you gained’t care about that however someone was going to ask. Discard the data fully or toss it in your again pocket for trivia night time on the nation membership (is {that a} factor?).  Both means, what I’m guessing you care about is the correlation between compression and the way gentle (or agency) a golf ball feels.

It’s All Relative

It must be easy however with completely different manufacturers utilizing completely different metrics (ball compression versus core compression, for instance) and throwing the phrase gentle round like greenback payments at Rachel’s Steakhouse (Google it…or higher but, don’t), really feel has develop into a completely relative idea made harder to quantify by the truth that there’s no agreed-upon place to begin.

Did I lose you there? Let’s strive it this manner:

Outline gentle. Put a quantity on it.

I’m sitting on a mountain of golf ball compression information and I can’t do it. What probability does the common golfer have?

Is DUO Tender+ gentle? Tender is within the title, so it have to be. How about Chrome Tender or Chrome Tender X even? Tender is within the title there, too. Does the X imply extra-soft?

Nope.

ERC Tender, Tender Response and Supersoft – what may very well be softer than Supersoft?

Nothing – at the least nothing we’ve discovered thus far.

That’s a real story. Credit score to Callaway for retaining it easy. It truly is super-soft.

Among the others? Not a lot, as a result of they’re not so gentle. And that’s earlier than we get into balls the place even when gentle isn’t in or implied by the title (taking a look at you, Bridgestone), the field nonetheless says gentle.

Every thing within the OnCore’s ELIXR delivers a gentle and pure really feel. There’s nothing within the Professional V1 literature about pure-ness nevertheless it does supply a very gentle really feel. The Srixon Z Star…it goes far and feels gentle.

For those who consider every part you learn, then damned close to each golf ball is gentle.

In actuality, the gentle balls I’ve talked about by title span a greater than 50-point compression vary from 40 (the softest we’ve examined) to a bit over 90. That’s lower than half the deformation. Verify my math on this one however half of soppy most positively isn’t additionally gentle.

Ball producers have created a world the place something from 40 to 95 compression will get labeled as gentle and something above 95 is absolutely agency. We seldom measure something above 105, which tells me that the business’s scale is damaged.

Compression Made Easy

Ball Compression Callaway Supersoft Further Tender Wilson DUO Tender+ Further Tender Titleist Tour Tender Tender Callaway Chrome Tender Medium OnCore ELIXR Medium Titleist AVX Medium Bridgestone Tour B XS Medium Srixon Z-Star Medium Titleist Professional V1 Medium Snell MTB-X Agency Titleist Professional V1x Agency Titleist Professional V1x Left Sprint Further Agency

.tablepress td a coloration: #fff;

jQuery(doc).prepared(operate() var mgsTablepressRowClicked = false; jQuery(doc).on(‘click on’, ‘#tablepress-223 tr td’, operate(e) if (e.goal.nodeName == “A” ) //if hyperlink is clicked in column, then permit it to work //console.log(‘tablepress row td clicked a href in td’); return;

var mgsTablepressRowLink = jQuery(this).closest(‘tr’).discover(‘td.column-1 a’); if ( mgsTablepressRowLink.size ) //console.log(‘tablepress row td clicked – go to column a href’); window.doc.location = jQuery(mgsTablepressRowLink).attr(“href”);

); );

What is affordable to say is that the Professional V1, Z Star and Chrome Tender X are legitimately PGA TOUR-soft. Satirically sufficient, these balls are solidly 20 factors firmer than the Titleist Tour Tender.

Confused?

I guess.

Because it pertains to golf balls, soft is, at greatest, ambiguous. At worst, it’s a horseshit phrase that golf manufacturers will connect to absolutely anything as a result of, if they’ll’t promote you on efficiency, there’s an inexpensive probability they’ll promote you on really feel.

Mentioned one other means, some gentle golf balls are gentle, some gentle golf balls aren’t and, from the skin, it sorta (gentle) looks like ball producers is perhaps telling you what you need to hear as a substitute of what you have to know. Frankly, that’s not’s common however if you happen to’re a golfer who chases gentle really feel, there’s a greater than good probability you’ve paid for gentle and ended up with one thing else.

Simplifying Tender

That’s not fully cool so I’m going to take a shot at placing all of this gentle stuff in context for you.

Because it pertains to our really feel dialogue, there are 4 classes of golf balls. The very first thing to grasp is that any notion of a gentle golf ball is relative solely to the opposite balls in its class.

PGA TOUR Tender Golf Balls

Let’s begin with the highest of the meals chain – the urethane-covered tour ball. And by “tour ball,” I imply golf balls which can be legitimately performed on the PGA TOUR – or at the least meet the factors.

Whereas the softest ball in any match will differ primarily based on who’s within the subject, right here’s one thing to consider. In any given week, the Titleist Professional V1 is more likely to be the softest ball in play. If Tiger (or Brendan Steele) in within the subject, it’s the Bridgestone Tour B XS. As soon as upon a time, Bridgestone’s S stood for gentle, so it have to be gentle, proper?

Not so quick, Sparky.

The XS is fewer than 5 compression factors softer than the Professional V1 and never a lot softer than a Srixon Z Star. It nonetheless qualifies because the softest tour ball however the common golfer isn’t more likely to discern any considerable really feel distinction between the three and also you’re certain as hell not going to mistake any of them for a DUO.

Callaway’s Chrome Tender X – a reliable tour ball with “gentle” within the title – is a number of compression factors firmer than the Professional V1. In equity to Callaway, gentle is type of the corporate’s factor and Chrome Agency doesn’t sound like one thing anybody desires to hit – and that’s coming from a man who usually performs a ball referred to as Left Sprint.

I’d be remiss to not point out that balls with urethane covers could really feel a bit softer relative to their precise compression when in comparison with ionomer (the cheaper materials that covers most cheap golf balls). That’s very true off the putter however right here’s your takeaway – even the softest balls performed on the PGA TOUR are nonetheless fairly rattling agency.

Why do you assume that’s?

Non-Tour Urethane Tender Golf Balls

I used to be tempted to name this class Worth Urethane however with AVX, Chrome Tender and RX/RXS within the combine, an excellent little bit of the class matches the tour stuff greenback for greenback. If worth isn’t the differentiator, what’s? Fairly often it’s, you guessed it, really feel.

The compression vary for this class runs from about 70 compression on the low finish to 80 on the excessive. That’s a bit softer than something you’re going to seek out within the tour class nevertheless it’s positively not super-soft. Once you take a look at every part on the retail cabinets, you’re actually speaking about mid-compression balls.

Premium Ionomer Tender Golf Balls

On the danger of digression, for my two cents, Premium Ionomer is an oxymoron. Within the ball world, premium and ionomer/Surlyn are diametrically opposed. As quickly as you select one, you possibly can’t have the opposite. And but, by some means, right here we’re…once more.

The signature balls on this class are the Callaway ERC Tender and the Titleist Tour Tender. They’re negligibly (lower than 5 factors) softer than what you’ll find in our non-tour urethane class and, frankly, the greenside efficiency drop-off from urethane to an ionomer cowl isn’t remotely definitely worth the barely softer really feel. I suppose you would argue some advantages round spin discount however once more I’d say there isn’t sufficient there to warrant buying and selling away the urethane cowl.

Your favourite ball is perhaps on this group and, hey, no judgment, however perceive that the class exists nearly fully to create a mid-range worth level. If 35 bucks is the restrict of what you’re keen to spend on a dozen balls, you’re most likely higher off ordering urethane from the direct-to-consumer menu.

Low-cost Ionomer Tender Golf Balls

Low-cost isn’t essentially reflective of high quality right here nevertheless it additionally isn’t not reflective of high quality.

Untangle that with the understanding that within the ball world, you usually get precisely what you pay for. However, to maintain everybody glad, we are able to say cheap ionomer transferring ahead. Semantics apart, we’re speaking about sub-$30 and typically sub-$20 golf balls. If you need gentle, welcome house, pal.

The class is stuffed with the likes of Supersoft, DUO+ Tender, E6, Tender Response, Tender Really feel, TruFeel. Does anybody else see a sample? Certain, you’ve received issues like Velocity within the combine however that is the place the softest balls reside. The softest stuff tops out under 60 compression. That’s not PGA TOUR-soft or non-tour urethane gentle; it’s reliable, for actual, gentle.

Even that Velocity you’ve satisfied your self is rock laborious; it’s about the identical compression as AVX. It’s not Tour Tender-soft nevertheless it’s softer than PGA TOUR-soft.

Actually Tender Really feel Prices Much less

We’re not having a efficiency dialogue right this moment so there are solely two correlations I need you to consider proper now.

The primary is that lower-compression balls really feel softer. That must be apparent. If you need gentle really feel, you need a low-compression golf ball.

The opposite one is probably a little bit bizarre. It turns on the market’s a robust correlation between legitimately gentle really feel and worth.

The softest balls – Supersoft, DUO+, E6 – they’re all discovered within the cheap ionomer class. As the price of gentle balls will increase, so does compression – balls get firmer. By the point you attain reliable tour balls and premium costs, there’s an argument to be made that not one of the balls are literally gentle.

Backside line – if all you need out of a golf ball is the softest really feel doable, there’s completely no cause why you need to ever spend greater than $25 on a dozen balls.

If you need tour efficiency, you’re going to must spend extra and do it with the understanding that when you would possibly discover one thing gentle sufficient to your tastes, there’s nothing within the class that approaches gentle.

I’ll ask once more. Why do you assume that’s?

Integer wins $22m in damages from AVX pacer patent spat retrial

Integer Holdings (NYSE:ITGR), formerly known as Greatbatch, has been awarded approximately $22.2 million in damages in the retrial of a pacer tech patent spat with AVX, down from a previous award of $37.5 million, according to recently released court documents.

Integer originally filed a patent infringement complaint in April 2013, alleging that AVX infringed on patents related to the filtered feedthrough assemblies used in its implantable pacers and cardioverter defibrillators.

Integer was awarded $37.5 million in damages from the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in January 2016. In the earlier trial, the jury upheld the validity of 2 asserted patents, and 2 additional patents that AVX had challenged.

Three months later, AVX won a bid for reconsideration which vacated a previous summary judgement in Integer’s favor and paved the way for another trial re-exploring whether AVX intentionally infringed on certain Integer patents with its Ingenio FFT devices.

During the next trial, which took place in 2017, the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict as to whether the infringement from AVX’s Ingenio FFT devices was willful, according to court documents.

In response to the decision, AVX filed a motion for a new trial to assess damages that took into account the new court verdicts., which were granted in late March last year, according to court documents.

“In sum, because the $37.5 million damages award is based on the incorrect assumptions that all Ingenio FFTs infringe the ‘715 patent and that no non-infringing alternatives to the ‘715 and ‘627 patents exist, and because there is no way of knowing how the jury came to its lump sum award – basing its decision on a finding of infringement of one or a combination of the asserted patents and products – the award must be vacated and a new trial as to damages is necessary,” U.S. District Judge Leonard Stark wrote in court documents dated March 30, 2018. “Six factors weigh against enhancement (no deliberate copying, good faith belief of non-infringement, remedial action, short duration of infringement, closeness of case, and no motivation for harm), one factor weighs in favor of enhancement (attempt to conceal), and two factors are neutral (both parties were particularly litigious and AVX’s size and financial condition). Accordingly, the court concludes that an award of enhanced damages is not warranted. As the court has had two trials on the asserted patents and products and seen all of the evidence, it can make this finding even before a finding on willfulness.”

In the retrial, the court awarded Integer approximately $22.2 million in damages, according to court documents released this week.

The court granted approximately $10 million in damages for lost profits and sales related to infringement by AVX’s Frontier and Progeny devices, approximately $9.6 million for infringement by AVX’s Ingenio devices and approximately $2.5 million in damages for infringement by AVX’s NG3 devices, according to court documents.
