In my short time playing golf, I've progressed from TopFlite *whatever* to Noodles to Titleist DT Solo to TopFlite D2 Feel to Nike Ignite to Bridgestone e6+ to Callaway HX Tour 56 to Nike Platinum. But my new favorite definately as to be the TM TP Red LDP. I think this is the ball that I am going to stick with for a long time.

TM TP Red LDP.

On sale at my Walmart now. I think they were around $17 or $19. Definitely under $20.

HX Hot Bites - $19. Srixon U-Something, gold box -$15.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

Really? Are you sure it's not the Burner TP LDP instead? The best price I can get right now is 2 dozens for $55. I gotta stop by Walmart and check.

Can anyone help me out by distinguishing the differences in the Gamer and the Top Flite D2 Feel? Thanks in advance.

D2 Feel is definately softer. Gamer is supposed to have more bite/spin but I never find that to be the case. Personally D2 Feel is a much better ball than the Gamer overall. D2 Feel=over achiever, Gamer=underachiever.

I respectfully disagree. I played both today as usual. The D2 Feel is a real good ball but definitely feels like a 2-piece, albeit a real good soft one. I like them.

For me, the Gamer is longer off the tee and spins a ton more off the short irons. If there is a better 3-piece ball for under $20.00 I would be shocked. This is truly a great low priced player-type ball. I love them!

Sorry man. I was there again today. You are correct they are the Burner TP LDP's.

The Blacks and Reds were $27.50 a dozen

Having done some looking (these balls are way my golfing time) they seems to have been pretty good in their time...But I seemes to be a consistent comment, that they degrade over time....And I would say that these are atleast 10 yrs old!
It's the indian, not the arrow! But it sure is nice to have good arrows!!!!!

The old Titleist DT Wounds used to be my basic fodder.

You're reaching back a few years, though. Top Flite changed the golf ball world when they came out with the highly popular mantle layered balls.....everyone else followed suit....goodbye wound balls.

I'll bet some really spinny balls will be coming out again...as a result of the groove ruling.

I used to play the Titleist DT Wound 90's years ago.

They do degrade over time.

Great ball back then.

What's the deal with the Titleist Tour Prestige balls at COSCO?

Anyone know what kind of balls they are?

The D2 feels are good balls. They have a soft feel and have more spin that alot of other 2 piece balls.

spP33d, if you play a 2 piece ball on occasion, you should try them, seriously.

I don't know this for a fact, but I think the Tour Prestige replaced the former DT So/Lo. It plays a lot like the So/Lo and somewhat like the NXT Tour. Now this is NOT the same Tour Prestige that Phil played with when he was still with Titleist, before the Pro V1's came out.

I'm guessing that because they no longer make the So/Lo. Now they only have the DT Carry and DT Roll. The So/Lo was my favorite ball when I first started playing. I still have about 6-7 dozens of them left.

    • I've had a couple of good shots since the last time I posted, 1 a 90 yard approach that I manufactured with my gap wedge that I knocked to about 18 inches, 1 a ~140 yard 8 iron that I got to about 3 feet (pictured), but this week my best shot was a 60 yard pitch. It wasn't anything special but I did hit it out of a divot, so that's what I'm more proud of. Plus, i didn't really have any memorable shots this week.
    • Just a  follow up, I had the best lessons ever on gears with the best instructor! Wish I would’ve made the drive earlier in the year but put it together during a golf trip. Gears was incredible to see your swing in 3d with all the necessary data. I’ve had very few formal lessons in the past and a couple online but nothing compared to working with Erik. He made it  very comfortable and relaxed, patient with all my  questions and showed some swing comparisons of pros swings.    Our main focus was getting the pelvis to move in a better pattern and when he first pushed on my hip with that pvc going back it was like a “wow” moment. And to see the affects in real time just made it quicker to adapt and learn how to find it again, however, even without gears I’m sure it would’ve been an awesome lesson..it’s just nice for some players to see the facts, no debate… At the end of the 1st session I was shocked at the video seeing my pelvis move better, hips open, no early extension. I was literally like I can’t believe that video capture is me! I’m glad I had a second session the following morning, just to reinforce the earlier ideas and work on the next piece to complete the movement, and we still had plenty of time to mess around with lower priority ideas for later. I left that afternoon armed with a practice plan, he took extra time to show me what to look for on my own video and I got a copy of LSW. We’ll continue on evolvr for checkups until another road trip for sure! I also just ordered the stack system with his discount code to work on some speed training as well.    Just wanted to share my appreciation for all Erik’s help and anyone finding there way here like I did over the winter to give it a try!
