I am a 25 handicap with a decent swing speed and distance off the tee. I am just not consistent with hitting it fat or catching it thin.

Is this a good ball for me?

Those balls are some of the worst on the market. They start to scuff after being hit, good balls only will grow plastic hairs if they hit cart paths and trees? i used to think it was the fiddler and no the fiddle but there is something to better equipment. My advice is to buy Some decent balls and play courses that are more wide open. Try some Bridgestone E6, they are available for around 25 bucks vs the Noodles for 13 bucks..

if you have a McSports near buy, look into the Wilson Ultra's  i have hit the distance versions and i think they are 15 for 12$..   they are a low spin / compression ball

Also look into like a low compression Maxfli ball...   i picked up two boxes from golf galaxy for 20$

could also look into Top-flite too..

It is what it is

Agree.  I always thought Noodles were terrible and never understood why people seem to like them.

Ok ball for price IMO. I prefer Srixon soft feel. Similar Two piece ball I get a little better performance Out of. Don't want to give more advice than u probably get already but keeping my lead shoulder Down at impact fixed most of my fat shots.

Noodles are very good balls in my opinion.

I don't know where the other posters got their opinions from but mine are from personal experience.

I especially like the Noodle+.

For economy balls, I really think the best deals are last years models. For instance, the TM TP3 for $19 a dozen from rockbottomgolf.com is/was a better golf ball (IMHO) than the top flite Game / Callaway HX Warbird / Bridgestone e6 from this year. They also have 3 dozen ammo boxes (3 dozen balls in a box without individually wrapped sleeves) for $51 a piece fo the tp3, and $45 for the HX hot plus from callaway, which was another great ball.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

I tried them and did not like them very much. there are better buys out there, as mentioned rockbottom and budget golf have good prices for very decent golf balls IMHO

If you only want to spend a buck a ball noodles will get the job done but I've been getting used DT solos for about 80 cents a ball after shipping and they are WAY better. Nice feeling ball with all the clubs.

I also like Noodles-the regular Noodle. They are my budget ball. The DT Solo is my step up ball more feel for not too much more money.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
