Before I laid off golf a couple of years ago, I was loving the Callaway CB Red and then went to the Blue.

I wonder which current ball is close to this one?

Long, soft, great iron spin, well mannered on the greens and less than $30 dozen.....is this too much to ask for?????

I would say the new Hot-bite is you're best bet. Also, try wal-mart. They have a surprising selection of Callaway balls, including the Warbird, Big Bertha, CXB, all at good prices that would compare to the CB pretty closely.

Cool.

I never thought WalMart carried the good stuff. I'll certainly be checking them out.

I need to load up on tees anyway. They have about the cheapest thing going.

they hot bite isn't like the Cb's in that the CB's feel light and hot off the face. The hot bite have a heavier feel.

The most similar ball to the Cb's is probably the Srixon AD333's. If the AD333's had a firmer core they'd be very very similar the CB blue.

Another one to try is the e5+ but it feels heavier and stickier than the CB Blue.

The ball market seems to have diverged from the CB Blue, softer and easier to get in the air or firmer 3 peice.

      Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
