Top-Flite Gamer V2 Golf Balls

I used these balls last year to get down into a comfortable 5 index. Often called the "Poor Man's ProV", there is good reason for this. This ball not only out-performs balls in the under $20 category, it also competes with balls in the under $30 category as well. The distance is fine with low spin off the driver, it performs well with the mid irons, and has more than enough spin to be predictable off the short irons with decent feel off the putter. For someone that wants a better ball for a great price, the Gamer V2 won't disappoint! 

I found myself looking for a ball with more spin than what I was playing but still at a reasonable price when I came across some reviews of the Top Flite Gamer V2.  Wow, am I impressed!  Now, it doesn't spin like a Pro V1 but since it costs only 40% of what a Pro V1 costs the fact that I can spin a wedge back a few feet or stop a 9 iron with next to no roll out is pretty amazing to me.  Off of the driver I get more that acceptable distance with less side spin than expected.  The mid-irons have a bit more spin but travel a reproducible distance.  To find a three piece ball for less than $20 that performs as well as much more expensive balls is a treat.  My only concern now is availability, since Callaway sold the Top Flite brand to Golf Galaxy/ Dick's Sporting Goods.  My concern is that they will turn this into a "house brand" ball and either change its characteristics, its price, or discontinue it altogether.  Buy them while you can.  I just got six 15 packs online for $81 delivered to tide me over for quite a while.

I HATE Top Flight balls, or 'pop rocks' as I prefer to call them. A friend of mine said to try a  box of Gamers V2 to see what I thought. Wow, for $20 you can't go wrong. All in all and excellent ball. If I ever get to a single digit handicap maybe I'll look elsewhere but that's not going to happen so it's the Gamer for me.
