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.

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. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily.

      Day 25 (2 Apr 26) - Worked on green side chips at the course before helping with the school golf tournament today.  Worked on low flighted spinners to get solid hop and stops.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.
