How many people who have the time and money to get good enough to play in a tournament can't afford a box of regular Pro V1s?

It's not about what you can and cannot afford. If you can save $20 every time you buy a box of them just because they have PRACTICE stamped on the side...you can save that up and actually PLAY GOLF!

What I Play:

Driver: Sasquatch SUMO² 9.5º Stiff
Hybrid: HiBore 16º (3W replacement)
Irons: Staff Ci6 3-PW StiffWedges: Vokey Spin Milled 54.10 60.04Putter: Newport Studio Style 35"Ball: Pro V1xAge: 15

Oh trust me, I am all about paying as little as possible for everything...I would just think that if someone were going to be entering a tournament they would probably just pay the piper for the non-practice version.

I play Intech Betas at the cost of $16 for 36 balls. I saw recycled Pro V1s at Target today that were still $27 for 12...so I am discussing things well out of my league...just wondering.

because there is absolutely nothing wrong with the actual ball... if there is an imperfection in the ball (99% is a logo overun) Titleist will pull 10 balls from behind and infront of the ball for quality assurances. they play exactly like "normal" prov1's

These are not logo overruns at all. They are "imperfects"...I too dont see a whole lot wrong with them, but you never know. I play NXTs that I actually like more than the Pro V1, and they are $29 or less.

According to the USGA rules, I think you might be mistaken...I could be reading it wrong though...

Yeah, you're right, and I was mistaken. I suppose my own bias - I'd never

buy let alone use a practice ball - tainted my memory. X-outs are not allowed (well, they are for handicap rounds or whatever, I guess).

I'm cheap... I sneak onto a classy private course near me at dusk and just go through the woods and find prov1's

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      The way to practice this is not at full speed, even if you do manage to "change" something. But no, not quite like that. That's a late lift, but you still have the early roll, and you stand up too much in that swing (likely in trying to "lift" — the "lift" is relative to your torso, not the ground).
