Player Spotlight: Mike Kovatch

Kovatch got that dawg in him. Mike didn’t just practice more than any other player for PWPIPasatiempo, he practiced more than any other player in Play With Pete Invitational history. And his four birdies on the day were the most of any player.

In between club twirls, fist pumps, and walking off putts Mike was always smiling, sauntering around the course, and taking pics of Pasatiempo seemingly every chance he got.

Despite starting his day with two double-bogeys and a triple-bogey through the first five holes, Kovatch still shot a 78. And let that be a lesson to us all.

You Don’t Mess with the Kovatch.

Today’s Motocaddy (double) delivery literally has Sammy panting.

It’s full-blown courtship ritual. He knows. 💯😁👍

[Pete Pappas @PGAPappas]

Eddie the Caddie said I have the best hair at Pasatiempo all week, Kovatch was thinking all-time PWPI scoring record of 76 stepping on the tee, and Nick said let’s get a livestream viewer some Callaway limited edition U.S. Open balls on this hole.

So four GIR on the last hole of PWPIPasatiempo for the gents? Yes.

And no.

Kovatch and Dietzen hit great shots and gave themselves birdie looks. Nick’s shot was the best on any Pasatiempo par-3 on the day for the group and he stuck it close (golf clap).

And Boyza’s shot looked like it was better than all of theirs…. Until it wasn’t.

Boyza’s shot hit the green and ricocheted hard and left 90 degrees into the barranca. All guessed it had to be a sprinkler head but there was nothing of the sort where his ball landed. The ghost of Alister MacKenzie having one final laugh at Boyza’s expense.

Walking across the bridge Dietz and Boyza got into it about who’s birdie won a viewer the driver (I encouraged it but some fine acting on both their parts).

Dietzen stalked his long birdie putt for a tap in par, Kovatch left his downhill birdie putt just an inch short, and Nick burned the edge to wrap it all up.

The last PGAPappas logo Chrome balls went to @billnet52 and the US Open Chrome balls to @danielrobison.

It was my absolute pleasure to watch these gents play Pasatiempo and have you all join us. Players and caddies handshakes and photos on the 18th green, and Play With Pete Invitational Pasatiempo was an All-Time great one.

Titleist GTS4 Driver vs. Tour Edge Exotics LS Driver 👀

(In standard weight settings)
▪️ GTS4 2.1 mph more ball speed than Exotics LS
▪️Exotics LS 3.2° higher launch than GTS4
▪️GTS4 331 rpm lower spin than Exotics LS
▪️Exotics 5.0 more carry yards than GTS4
▪️GTS4 6.9 more total yards than Exotics LS

(But when we switched the heavier weight forward in the Exotics LS - the heavier weight is already forward in the GTS4 - the numbers changed)

▪️GTS4 2.6 mph more ball speed than Exotics LS
▪️Exotics LS 3.8° higher launch than GTS4
▪️ Exotics LS 217 rpm lower spin than GTS4
▪️Exotics 6.2 more carry yards than GRS4
▪️GTS4 0.3 more total yards than Exotics LS

(Impressions)
Swing Speed with was 1 mph faster and smash factor was 0.1 higher with GTS4 than Exotics LS. And that plays out in the slightly higher GTS4 ball speed.

But when the heavy weight went forward in the Exotics LS the combination of higher launch and lower spin made it arguably more effective and efficient than GTS4.

GTS4 also reaches a lower peak height than Exotics LS which boxes it into higher swing speeds (say 105+ mph) more than Exotics LS (which will probably fit swing speeds 90-105 better (needing higher launch and more carry).

At the same time the Exotics LS lower spin will still be beneficial for higher swing speeds that already generate enough spin and ball speed to maximize launch and carry.

As always, same shaft was used comparing both drivers, in this case the Fujikura Ventus Blue 6S.

(Conclusion)
Both great low spin drivers, however it seems Exotics LS is the more low spin and higher launch of the two and will work for a greater range of swing speeds.

(More)
I’ll have miss forgiveness and overall dispersion numbers when I post this comparative review to my blog. Will also have more side-by-side pics and sound and feel impressions.

For now however I can say the Exotics LS is slightly more efficient in retaining launch, spin, and distance than GTS4. And Exotics LS also has a larger area of face forgiveness by a few millimeters in all direction (high, low, toe, heel).
