Re: Best high end spin golf ball

yea... after a series of threads kevinbomb has started, it only makes sense to conclude the guy is clueless.

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

if your agreeing with my post, thank you.

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

Wow - that's pretty much all i got.

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

I will continue to sing the praises of the TM TP Black LDP. With their recent price drop to less than $30, you absolutely cannot beat them at that price point. I bought up like 12 dozen from Golf Galaxy and more from Lostgolfballs.com because I am sure they will quit making them soon. The TM Penta is a great ball as well. I have played ProV's as well....great ball, but I agree, didnt last very long.

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

Prov1s arent crap
but they certainly arent the be all end all anymore like some people talk about them.
All the premium balls are pretty good now

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

You're a "beast" when it comes to grammar, likability, and believability...

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

hahahhaaaaaaa

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

why? they won't wear down that fast!

What do you do?
buy a new wedge every second day?

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

I'm sure that seeing as you are in a very successful situation you'll be able to schedule a fitting to try all the premium balls and after making hundreds of swings (each one worth 4$) you'll be able to pick the best ball for your game. After that, what are you gonna do when you start slicing again? I expect a golf and life has ended section 3

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

If I was calling you cheap I wouldn't have said to go buy a bunch of balls. I'm saying your not taking advice well. Why post a thread about this if you know what you want or aren't going to listen to other people. I'm not calling you cheap at all. I'm saying from what you've said about the pro v's you don't like them because they supposedly get ruined quickly and incase you weren't aware almost all the top balls are made with the same cover material. Where do you get your super wedges with razor grooves because apparently my brand new wedges aren't good enough even. Do you as a 7.9 play tournaments with your super wedges because i'm guessing that if your grooves are as rediculus as you say there completely illegal.
James black. I had some oil can wedges last year like a few sets and the softer metal wore down faster so I would have to replace them frequently. It also had to do with how often I clean them because that clearly didn't help their life time. I guess they didn't have to be replaced right away but I like the feel of new grooves so I would just replace them

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

I found the proV1 to be a very good ball, but i love the callaway tour i, i don't know about the US but here in Canada last year tour i model goes for 30$ a dozen and i find does more durable then this year model, you should give those a try.

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

I have played the Callaway Tour ti, and the Nike One Tour. Both are great balls. But when ever I buy new balls..... I always pull the trigger on a couple dozen Pro V's.

Pro V1 not durable? I'll play with one until I lose it. I got 32 holes out of a ProV1 this year and lost a beer bet to my buddy who got 44 holes with his ProV1x. I can nip and ball as well as most, and my Vokey doesnt tear them up at all.

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

+1
after today im on 36 with the same pro v1

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

+1. I feel exactly the same, I can play a ProV1x until I lose it and a 80 yard wedge with my Vokeys will not tear the cover off even though it spins back about 10 feet. To be honest with you kevinbomb123, everybody has different ideas on how long a ball should last which means that I might be playing a ball that you would have thrown into the shag bag after 9 holes.
Have you tried the Bridgestone TourB330 series? Today I tried a sleeve of Tour B330 RXS and found them to be a decent ball. After nine holes I have a though time distinguishing the ball I played with the other two in the sleeve and if it was not for a couple of groovemarks from a full 54 Vokey the ball would look brand new. It seems like you have tried many balls and have a great idea of which ones you like/dont like. I think you should try out the other ones and see if any of the ones you like last significantly longer than the competitions balls.

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

The interaction between the club head and the ball will determine how far the ball will go and in which direction. There is a relationship between the speed of the club head and the initial velocity of the ball. This relationship depends on the coefficient of restitution of the ball, which varies between different types of balls. When the ball is struck by the club, it is deformed and flattened by the force of impact (balls with harder cores deform less than softer balls). In general, a harder ball will travel further than a softer ball because it deforms less and will efficiently transfer more energy from club to ball. During the impact between the ball and club head, kinetic energy is transferred and stored as the ball tries to regain its original shape. This coefficient of restitution is quite similar to the restoring force we discussed in class. To obtain maximum distance in the drive, a ball must be selected that maximizes restitution for the club speed. If the chosen ball is too soft for the club speed, too much energy will be spent deforming the ball and not enough energy will be stored in the ball. Similarly, if the ball is too hard for the club speed, then the ball will not deform enough, and again, will not transfer adequate energy.
There are three main elements which, in theory, determine the distance a ball travels. This neglects the effects of wind/air resistance. The distance a ball travels will be determined by the initial speed of the ball, the angle at which it is hit into the air, and any spin that has been imparted on the ball by the club. Good backspin on a ball will cause lift and yield a longer shot, while poor spin may cause the ball to slice to the right or hook to the left. From simple physics we all know that a greater initial velocity and larger initial angle will produce a longer shot, although once your angle gets too large, then your distance will start to decrease again. The optimum angle for a simple trajectory problem to achieve maximum distance is 45 degrees. However, with golf, because of the spin on the ball, air/wind resistance, and other factors, this angle is generally less (for maximum distance) and varies from one situation to another.

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

That's not quite right. Within the limits of golf balls we have (and a big margin beyond that) firmer ball will always have a higher ball speed. What it may not have is ideal launch conditions for distance - spin to help keep the ball in the air being chief among them.


Too much "good backspin" will also cause a ball to balloon, robbing the player of distance.

Yes, it's so much less with a driver it's pointless to mention it.

Re: Best high end spin golf ball

The brownness of the ball doesnt make you want to use a new one. My prov1 was seriously dull brown after 9 holes.
