You would want to use a ball that you can compress and that was low spinning. I would recommend the Precept Laddie Extreme and the Maxfli Noodle Long and Soft. Both fit the bill and are relatively cheap. You can get each for about $10, a dozen.

The Top-Flite D2's are definitely worth it, they feel pretty good and are cheap. My favorite are the HX Tours and 56's (I used to get them in X-Outs for like 18-22$ a dozen and they played absolutely fine). I'd stay with something cheap, either the Top-Flites, or if you can find X-Outs and don't mind a perfectly fine ball with a few X's on it, to check those out as well.

Can't say enough about the Maxfli Black Max golf ball.

I bought them from lostgolfballs on ebay, but recently, their price for them rose from $17, to $44.

Those are the Maxfli Revolution Solid, which I also like. Great price on them too, try them out.

Agreed, Pinnacle Gold (cheap and a quality ball), great choice for a beginner. As you get better you can trade up through the Acushnet family!

Just don't go to the water-ball bin! It's worth the extra couple bucks to get new balls. Those water-balls aren't going to be consistent!

Don't buy into the "I'm not good enough for it to matter" attitude. It's really difficult to know what to work on if you have to worry about the quality of the ball.

BTW, I agree with the TopFlights... the Maxfli Fires are cheap almost everywhere too.

Maxfli noodles are very good balls, still use them myself sometimes. Nike distance balls are also good, very durable too.

I buy Tour iX's and Pro V1x's for less than a dollar per ball. eBay. I've played dozens of balls, and the balls never really make that much of a difference on your carry distance, but bounce and spin can have big differences. If you want a lot of roll, there are a ton of options with some hard balls out there, and any of them will probably do. If you're looking for a softer ball, you're going to have to try them out for yourself, imo, because you're just not going to get the same results from all of them.

      Ovvio Shafts (from GEARS)

      Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.

      Physics

      We agree here. Top of the car has a forward force, bottom of the car experiences a backward force via the braking. Both about the COM (somewhere in between). Result is a rotational flip. Since the forward force is still higher the car probably still globally travels forward. Sure, pretty basic. You really think there are deliberate twist forces applied? Like forcing the club head forward and simultaneously forcing grip end in the opposite direction? Heck I don't think we even slow down the grip end deliberately let alone force it the other way. Sorry, if I am missing something here. The orientation change is simple incidental because there is different rate of global movement of grip vs. clubhead throughout the swing. I also happen to think the best swings have the least amount of differential movement between the two end in the impact zone.  In my defense, I never thought one could do justice in covering all aspects of a golf swing in a paragraphs or two to begin with. Especially not with grade school physics..😜 Okay.
