Do range balls really perform worse than regular balls. I started slicing all my tee shots aging so i went to the range to work out the kinks. I got everything to straight again but i could barley push one past the 230 marker. On the course i have been over the green on a short par four that measure 292 to the center before and average about 280 i would say. Is this typical?

I don't notice too much of a difference except maybe a 10 yd loss with the longer clubs. Short irons and wedges are pretty close...

I've always found range balls to be terribly dead.  I don't even pay attention to distance on full swing shots, just direction.

This.

Even though around here most of the range balls are scuffed to crap and will take a dive like a shot duck
