$250 a Dozen Golf Balls

This is just stupid. No sane person, no matter how rich, would buy these. I'm curious though what the 2nd most expensive ball is. Is it the Titleist Pro V1 with the Yankees logo at Dicks/Golf Galaxy ($62/doz.) I wouldn't buy those either, even though I'm a Yankees fan. I did find one recently, which I'm gonna save.

I have some OG Kirkland I'll sell you for $250/dz!  

Unless it's a person with a unique collection that's just crazy.

Titleist RCT golf balls are like $65/dozen but they’re meant to be used with radar launch monitors. Given that they’re supposed to perform just like their Pro V1/x counterparts, I can’t think of anyone who would actually play with them.

Found some prior gen Chrome Soft balls for $ 85.99/doz on Amazon….

The same thing applies with drivers. There have been numerous tests done that indicate modern drivers don't hit balls much further than older ones. I know a guy who's clubs are all from the 1970's, and he hits his driver miles. The golf industry just wants us spending our hard earned cash

Modern drivers are significantly better than a driver from the 1970s.

A modern golf ball versus a modern golf ball… not so much. That's not the same thing.

So… they're non-conforming, and he hit the Pro V1 farther in a test of ten shots.

Okay then.

Nuff said.

Ahh... what tests are you referring to?

If you are saying a "modern driver" vs one made 5 maybe 10 years ago, I'm in.

If you are saying a "modern driver" vs one made in the 70's ... Then no.
