I love when I read crap like this. Please inform me why you care what balls people are playing? If someone makes enough money to afford playing premium balls then so be it. I see that you are a "single-digit". You are probably just like many, NOT ALL, "single-digits" that I've come across........You think that you are god's gift to golf, have a crappy job that allows for a lot of golf, little to no savings, etc........ Am I far off here???? Keep up the good work down and keep saving that minimum wage.....maybe one day you can afford non-clone clubs and maybe even some ProVs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You sound like the most pessimistic, hate-life person, I've ever heard from.


High Handicappers play pro V1's for the same reason as:

So your saying you drive a ferrari, have lebrons sneakers, and drink expensive wine? Hah, well you did say we.


I like ProV1's I like finding them to,I dont buy them because 50 a pop is way to far out of my price range but I do play Bridgestone B330 because I like the softer feel off the putter and wedge's, but hey if people dont mind loseing 50 dollars a month in golf ball's I dont mind finding them.

OK... this is a little bit of a rant...

I honestly don't understand why you even care....Play your game, and let other people play their's. If someone wants to have a $234234234 set of golf clubs and be a 20+ handicapper who cares!

On another note I think ball selection is huge. People need to realize the type of swing that they produce determines selection. I play (Or I should say I just bought) the Bridgestone 330's. Then again my driver SS is 120-125.

Hehe, personally I play the big bucket o' recycled balls, but I'm all for people playing more Pro V's. It makes them feel good and I can pick up some fancier balls when they lose 'em on the course.

I think I explained myself if you actually take the time to READ my posts... or were you being lazy and not reading through the entire thread.

Why did you resurrect a thread that has been pretty much all played out? Furthermore, why did you do such without providing any real additional insight or questions? Also, I'm pretty sure I made it clear that there was no rational basis for my feelings, and I was just opening up a topic for discussion.
My Clubs: Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5° w/ Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 stiff; Sonartec GS Tour 14° w/ Graphite Design Red Ice 70 stiff; Adams Idea Pro 2h(18°) & 3h(20°) w/ Aldila VS Proto 80 stiff; Adams Idea Pro Forged 4-PW w/ TT Black Gold stiff; Cleveland CG12 DSG RTG 52°-10° & 58°-10°; Odyssey...

IMO this thread has run it's course, honestly what are we discussing here? Serves no purpose....

See, I hate the feel of hard balls, and I love to play shots with loads of spin. Thats why I play the pro v1's

I am playing a very tough, tight course today. I will take my 26.3 hanidcap out there and see how I do. I will start with ONE Pro V1 ball. How many holes do you think I will finish with it? 0? 1? 6? After I lose it I will switch back to my Wilson ZIP, which, by the way, feel a little short on distance.

Dude, if I've ever played balata I honestly don't remember, the hot bite is not a bad ball but if you want to play a good ball try the bridgestone B330, B330RX,or the B330 S also if your looking exclusivly ay Callaway look no further than the Tour ix a great ball.

Honestly I don't think you would notice a difference,I'm sure there close enough in quality to pretty much be the same.

Played in a New Years tournament and broke out the last of my Pro V stash even though I generally use NXT Tour balls in the winter. I remembered why I like the Pro V's above all else with the first shot; It's the way they feel on the club face. The fact that they are great on and around the green doesn't hurt either.

If your gonna rant about something rant about people getting down on the ground and lining up their third putt for triple bogey like it was a birdie putt for the masters.......and then missing making me wait all the while

Amen. I always say, "Even if I'm playing bad, at least I'm playing quick" Hacks....I don't mind playing behind, that's part of the game.....SLOW METICULOUS hacks.....make me wanna skip the hole.

    • When you're quite overweight, you burn more calories just existing than someone much thinner just existing, so it's easier to lose more weight more quickly, too. A very large person can lose 10-12 pounds in three weeks without being unhealthy about rapid weight loss. If you weigh 170 and want to weigh 160, though, you should take your time getting down there.
    • I figured it was questionable as well. I too thought it was funny when he said how easy it was to set up compared to ‘more expensive devices.’ Yeah, it’s a real mess turning on my Mevo and setting it down. Maybe it’s ‘useful’ for someone who doesn’t want to spend a dime on a monitor and only wants to know distance, on a clear day.😗
    • Is all about the balance between calories consumed / digested vs calories burned though the day. The best way to lose weight is to keep your mouth shut! eat less. Consume less calories than your body needs and you will loose weight eventually. Slowly but surely. Off course you can ad extra workout to your day to burn more calories but it's a lot easier to avoid eating that 2nd burger than going out to run an hour or more to burn it. I went from 75 kilos down to 63 in 1 year just because I wasn't able to eat without pain. In that year I didn't exercise at all in that period, I was feeling bad every day. It was all about not eating enough.  2 years later I regained all my weight, just because I started eating more because I was feeling better. Also in that period I started to hit the gym and play more golf. Burned a lot more calories but also eat a LOT more food.  Fast and slow metabolism is a thing but is just an excuse to quit. If you have a slow metabolism and you want to lose weight is going to be harder for you to lose weight than a person that have fast metabolism, but is possible if you really commit to it.  Bonus track... the bigger the muscles, the more calories they burn during the day even when they are resting. So lifting weight while dieting is better than dieting with cardio.    What is real in a diet? The ideal number is to eat 500 calories less than you burn per day. In 2 week you will be 7000 calories down. That equals to 1 kilo or 2 pounds. So the idea is to loose 2 kilos / 4 pounds a months... it seams to little but over a year is a whopping 24 kilos / 48 pounds. Remember... if you commit to loose way Slowly but surely you will lose weight. Never believe when someone try's to sell you, that you can loose 20 pounds in one month. Is not possible or healthy.  Another thing when you start to diet is don't get discouraged if after a week you stop going down in weight, even you start to go up. is normal, when you start to diet, you normally loose a couple pounds in water, yes that water is from water retention from your previous diet.  Just keep on grinding and you will keep loosing weight eventually. Also worth pointing out, the body always tends to stay the same. If your weight is 100 and you start a diet, you body is going to notice that the calories intake is been dramatically reduced, so in order to keep you at 100 kilos is going to slow down your metabolism in order for you to burn less calories. Eventually this is not going to be enough and you will start to loose weight but your body is not going to make it easy on you.     
    • I feel like that video was an incredible waste of time. Because the guy kept saying carry and clearly the device is saying total distance. With carry distance also on there, but he's not calling that out. They when he's comparing it to the Trackman he continues to say "carry", when again the device says total. With his being so inexact in the use of the terms carry and total distances I literally have no idea how accurate or inaccurate that thing is.  I will say the putting was kind of neat. 
    • I watched that video a few days ago. I chuckled at him saying it is so much easier to set up than plopping a GC3 down and turning it on. I love how he did his test hitting AlmostGolf balls, too. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Do I think this is remotely accurate? No. It's measuring ball speed. It's not getting spin or anything like that. Certainly not in dim conditions outside at night.
