I can see it now - the grandkids are looking in your garage and one of them says, "TaylorMade Penta, I wonder if those were good golf balls. I wonder why papa never used them? Let's go hit them off the O2 generator into the grey water recyle pond!"

If I wait to be worthy of hitting the odd Tour ball, I'd never do it. I picked up a box of Wilson Staff FG Tours even though I still can't seem to finish a round with the same ball.

LOL, thanks for the laugh. You're probably right and at the rate I'm going I should add them to my will. I wouldn't mind if I just lost 1 or 2 balls a round, but the last round I played (before taking any lessons) I lost 10 new Nike Vapor Speeds. I don't mind spending money on good gear, and fortunately I can afford it, but at $4 a ball it just seems wasteful to use these balls when I likely won't gain any real benefit.

I bought a dozen Yellow Z-Star Srixon balls and love them.
Had my 46 1/2" SuperFast driver cut to 45" and put a oversized grip on it. I like it a lot better this way!
I bought a groove sharpener too.

What is it you like about them? I've looked at them a couple of times because of the "yellow," but can't pull the trigger on a $45 a dozen golf ball. When they finally make one that's yellow around $25 I plan on trying them out. <--- I saw some Top Flite's that were yellow and cheap, but I just can't stand most of their balls. I'm betting the yellow on the Srixon looks a lot better than the Rock Flite yellow too....

What do I like about the Srixon Yellow Z-Star?
I didn't have to mark my ball because I was the only one in our group that was playing a yellow ball.
They spin and stop on the green like any other quality ball.
They are very visable when they roll into the second cut or even OB.
They don't seem to cut as easily as some other soft feeling balls.
I think they look .

Had Tour Wrap grips put on my new wedge and hybrid, plus the 3W I never got around to putting one on. Now everything in the bag has a matching grip, except the driver and putter. W00t. In and out of the shop in about 15 minutes, and they didn't mind my almost 4-year old practicing with their putters while we waited. Great service!

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
