My swing speed is about 95 to 100 mph on a good day with my driver. I just learned that if you have a slower swing speed then certain balls can help you out. I picked up some top flight gamer balls today is this a good ball for me, maybe a little added distance, straighter, less spin? I was thinking about also trying the nike crush balls as they are supposed to also be for slower swing speeds. Thought?

I've not played the TF Gamer so can't comment on how they perform. I can say, though, that they get a decent amount of mention here to the extent that I'm considering trying them out. Seem to be a lot of fans. I used to play the TopFlight XL2000 years ago and really liked them. I'm still a high handicapper but heading in the right direction. With the amount of balls I put in the drink or woods each round, I can't justify the ProV's or other high ticket balls - besides, my game isn't strong enough to really capitalize on their benefits. Do a search here on the Gamer and you'll get a lot of good info. Hit 'em well.

Driver- :nike: Nike VR-Pro Limited Edition 9.5* Diamana 'ahina Stiff Flex 3 Wood- :titleist: Titleist 980 5 Wood- :tmade: Taylormade R9 3i-PW- :tmade: Taylormade Tour Preferred (Dynamic Gold S300) Putter- :tarmour: Tommy Armour T-Line 150 (it's old but I love it and haven't been able to find anything that feels better)

Well for anyone wondering about these balls I played 2 rounds this week with them and I usually play with pro v1s and I really couldn't tell the difference. I got good distance and around the greens they felt good.

Well for anyone wondering about these balls I played 2 rounds this week with them and I usually play with pro v1s and I really couldn't tell the difference. I got good distance and around the greens they felt good.

Good deal.  Any time you find a ball that's well suited to your particular game for less money, you're doing well!

I have similar swing speed as you and am currently playing Crush+.   Distance is ok, ball trajectory seems to be middle, spin seems to be minimal (could be good or bad for your style).   In short, it is an OK ball and I don't mind playing it.

I played Gamer before and it was "ok," too.   Nothing stuck out, either bad or good for my game.

      Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.
