The Gamer V2 is the "better" ball... I really like it a lot and at $20/dz its hard to beat (the Golfsmith out here still has boxes with an extra sleeve for the same price). D2s aren't a bad option either though... at $1/ball it may be the one that does beat out the Gamer for value... just make sure if you go with the D2 you get the "Feel" version.

V2 by far...it's the best kept secret...my local shop can't keep them off the shelf...it has been called the poor man's Pro-V1, but I compare it more to the NXT Tour.

I prefer the V2, but either way, since ~ 2008 the Top Flite line has been a really good value (Callaway pumped some more cash and R&D; into the line). I picked a couple dozen Top Flite XL Tours (seriously, that's what they're called) and they won me over by about the 3rd ball. Just a good all around ball (for the money).

I personally play the TM Blacks (and Penta) but I will guarantee that you will be pleasantly surprised by the performance of the V2s!

Tried the V2 recently and like it. Will probably give it a shot again come spring. Living in WA., when fall/winter comes around I like the D2 Feel a lot. Got 2 15 ball packs for $17 last year and will probably get through this cold season with whats left. Hard to beat for the price and they hold up real well. Also don't worry to much losing a less than $1 ball.

Several good deals out there now. I saw Srixon Z-stars for $29.99 at The Golf Warehouse website the other day. That was a special if you bought two dozen. They had hi-viz yellow and white, Z-star and Z-star X. Awesome deal on a premium ball. They also had Srixon Soft Feels for $14.95/dozen, which would make a great winter ball for guys in cold weather areas. I read that Srixon had similar/same deals at other big golf shops and Dick's Sporting Goods. Nice to see some balls priced reasonably for once.

I am really liking the Gamer V2 ball. It took a little while to get used to the way it feels especially after just getting a new putter as well that already feels soft. I am pretty much adjusted to it coming off the One Tour (testing them out over two weeks) and really like the amount of spin I can generate with the Gamer V2, I actually spun one back 4 feet more and they check really nice around the green on short chip shots.

That's more likely to be attributed to the better strike than the golf balls themselves.

Going to the shop tomorrow before my round and grabbing a dozen of the V2's (for $10 a dozen, how can I not at least give it a shot?)


If I like it...it's going to be my practice round ball for good and probably pick up a few dozen after my round. I'm pretty excited to check it out.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
