Hi, i've been playing the Tommy Armour 4 layer DLT's for the past 6 months with great success. Just like everyone else, I was a bit skeptical to playing these balls as I have been playing pro v1x. Here's my story. Played in memphis and lost my ball. While searching for my ball, I picked up a Tommy Armour Tour ball (3 layer) . Played the ball for the rest of the round with great success.
When I returned back home, I researched and tried to find the balls. None of the regular sources had it, but eventually found them a sport authority. The 4 layer DLT's were on sale for $12 for dussin. Too cheap to skip for a 4 layers, so I bought 10 cases. Same price as 3 pro v1.
Here is my experience when compared to pro v1x. ( i am 7 handicap. 250 drives and thus rely on my short and iron game for success. Titliest D3 woods and mizuno mp 69 irons)
- The DLT goes further
- The DLT is straighter
- The DLT is not as soft, but you can definitely get it to stop
- The DLT is goes well off the irons with excellent spin
Only area where there are issues is the very short game - inside of 15 yards. It is definitely hard to create the spin that you can achieve with pro v1x from this distances around the greens.
in short, if i am playing a very important game I will use the pro v1x. For every day play, outings, games with guys, and so, the Tommy is in my bag.
Another noteworthy comment is that NO one will ever claim your ball so you'll always find it.
Good luck and definitely pick up a box if you can find it. Regular price is around 36, so get them while on sale.
My local sports authority is no longer stocking it ;-(
