Wet vs Dry

[James James]

I posted this on golfwrx but it quickly descended into a rules discussion.
It would be fantastic if someone with a gc2 could attempt to peer review my data as the results were surprising:

Dry ball data:

Wet ball testing:

In summary a tiny amount of water can drastically cut spin on non-premium balls which results in flyers...

I would like to see this test done from grass. (maybe i'll test it when/if summer comes) From mats the difference is very big in spin numbers dry vs wet ball. I see this all the time on our range when it's wet.
It happens that you see people stand there hitting wet balls from wet mats and they hit everything 1-2 clubs longer thinking that they have found something :-)

I think the wet vs dry and different mats all make a difference. Also waiting for spring summer and then need to work out a way of testing it!
