New to the boards so excuse me if this has been spoken of already.

Does anybody else feel the MoJo and Noodle Ice are very gimicky-looking? They have a look of a Putt-Putt ball on drugs. I am not making any claims on how they play but, they look just very gimicky.

I played with both models in the past and found the Noodles to be a decent mid-range ball...I did not care for MoJo's as much.

I got engaged on November 19, 2005 to a lady who had bought me a Taylormade R580XD, Adams Irons a Calloway "MLB" bag, a Calloway Golf jacket (different holidays / birthdays / etc) and tells me I should "go play with the guys."

My only experience with either ball is a purple Mojo I found on the course and used for about a hole... until I lost it in the rough. Purple is a stupid color for a golf ball, it doesn't contrast at all with bermuda rough. Nike's making a black ball these days too, which seems like it would be just as bad if not worse.

I can't remember how the ball played though, I was too busy looking for it.

They're not still making the black balls, are they. The black (and purple, etc.) are/were promotional gimmicks. Some continue on (the MoJo), others don't. It's fine to give away a funny ball in a $15/dozen pack, but not at the $45/dozen range...

And at the $20/dozen and less range, some golfers like gimmicks. Those that don't buy NXTs or plain old Pinnacles or Top-Flites something. Of course these cheaper balls aren't going to spin like a Pro V1. But my wife likes 'em, and she uses 'em. So they're okay in my book.

I'd use 'em for early-year rounds when the ground is muddy and I want a firm 2-piece ball that's going to carry a long way. But yes, they are a marketing gimmick. They aren't bad balls, but at the end of the day they are 2-piece distance balls. The clear cover doesn't help performance (or hurt it). Res ipsa loquitor.

I quite enjoy the MoJo, the carry and feel off the driver feels "solid" to me. Being a below-average golfer, I find the MoJo best suited to my current game. Maybe it's just me, but I have found that certain balls feel better off certain clubs?!?! At least this has not manifested in the normal vs. clear cover MoJo balls, they feel exactly the same to me. As for looks, I prefer the more traditional-looking ball.

They look pretty but I don't like how they play, I'll stay with my titliest balls.
Alot of women ask for them at the course but most of them don't expect any thing from their ball.

Indeed. Most of them are geared towards women and are thus lower compression. Some seniors would do well to play with them too...

    • The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.   
    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.   
    • So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all. 
    • Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
