Sounds good. I hope we get to play before summer. Everything is closed until May 5 and probably longer if numbers keep going up.

Yes you guys getting hit pretty hard in the states >> down the bottom of the world here in NZ we hopefully will be out of lockdown on the course before winter ...gutting to be missing out on my favourite best scoring time of the year autumn ....

I'm a Pro-V-1X guy. I've tried several balls over the last year and a half and it performs the best.  I know there are balls out there that are longer off the tee, but The "X" works best on and around the green for me.

Just bought my 5 dozen Snell MTB Black for the season. Hope I get to use them.

I am a believer in using the same ball and not switching.

I use the e7 Bridgestone ball, most of the time. Great ball for under $2 each. 

Unfortunately I think Bridgestone has , or will be discontinuing them. Luckily I have a few dozen in my stock.

I have bought 50 used pro v1s, prov1xs and avxs for 75€. I have yet to play them. They seem in pretty good condition.

While, once upon a time, a previous version of myself used to stalk golf balls in the wild; I have settled, of late, on the Precept Laddie.  They go for around 20 clams per 2 dozen and fall into the Goldilocks zone for me...neither clacky or mushy.  I also like some of the offerings from TaylorMade but they are rather pricey...at least compared to the Precepts.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Does that mean you were often in the woods?  😊  (Hell, I have coyote friends who know more about my golf balls than me)

Yes indeed.  I would play with a single golf ball, until I lost it, then adopt the next one I found.  It was a point of pride to play the same ball round after round...no matter how many battle scars it acquired.  

P.S.  The best place to find high quality, only hit once, golf balls is in the briers.

Srixon Q Star Tour. Great 3 pc ball at a real good price. If you have a slower swing speed try the Srixon soft féel. Its long but you will give up spin around the green. If you swing a little faster the QStar tour is real good.

Currently Vitamin M is preventing me from playing the golf ball of my choice.  I buy used balls at the club and wind up with an assortment.

But given a choice, I prefer the Titleist NXT.  I find the Pro V and its ilk has too much spin for me.  Off the tee I run the risk of excessive side spin taking the ball out of play.  On full shots into the green I really want the ball to drop and stop, not spin backwards, which most tour balls tend to do if hit well.

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)
  • Golden Bear LD5.0 60* (regular)
  • Aidia Z-009 Putter
  • Inesis Soft 500 golf ball

Titleist TruFeel.  I'm not good enough to play Pro V-1s.

I have been playing the Titlist TruSoft which was replaced by the TruFeel. I still have a few boxes of TruSoft that were available cheap from Amazon but eventually I will have to find a new ball. Just curious if you have ever played the TruSoft and if so is the TruFeel comparable?

I have played both. Titleist sent me a sleeve of the Trufeel to try and give feedback. I liked the ball but find the Srixon Q Star Tour better overall.

    • One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL
    • I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.
    • So close, that is frustrating.
    • You need to stick with one instructor as long as they’re not terrible. There’s no blueprint to improving a golf swing and different instructors may see different things as being more important and try to fix them. The end result is you get a hodge podge of things to work in that may not be cohesive or necessarily help you. If you stick to one instructor and communicate to them as such, they’ll also be able to work out a roadmap to your improvement which is more beneficial in the long run. If a guy assumes you’re just coming in for one lesson you might end up with a band aid.
