Neither.

1. It's not designed for striking the ball and would be a terrible choice to do so.

2. Any ball that has a proven affinity for the water has no place in my bag. I have enough trouble with the game without having to worry that a ball might get it in it's mind to take a quick swim in the middle of my round. I leave swimming balls alone!

Neither.

I look at it this way; balls do not like water, therefore a ball that has gone in the water has learned it's lesson and does not want to go back in.

Too bad the same is not true for bunkers.

disagree with above.

i have one. found 6pro v1, 2 hx hotbite, and 1NXT tour on my walk from the first teebox to the first green (water hazzard, 210 to carry). It pays for itself overtime.

Free balls = no wasted money

      U.S. Open Qualifying - How Would Your Course Hold up?

      By pganapathy ·

      Our home course would be very interesting.  It is short from the black tees (around 6000 yards) and very few holes are considered not reachable in GIR for golfers who drive max 250 off the tee.  But there are two difficulties.  Only 3 holes don't have an OB though admittedly in some cases it is just behind the green.  The harder part is almost all the fairways slope away on both sides from the centre meaning if you hit a draw or fade, you are likely to wind up at the edge of the fairway or off into the rough if you bounce in the wrong place.

      Long Iron

      By pganapathy ·

      I assume the 3 iron in your iron set would do the job.  If you don't have the club, you should be able to buy it as a single club

      Day 45 (16 Jun 24) -  Happy Father's Day all - got in a few swings with the clubs, focused on alignment for chipping and pitching.  For me if the target it 12noon, I need to have my feet somewhere around 11 for a solid dead on line pitch/chip.  Worked from about 5yds out to 25yds.  Worked through a series of clubs - 54, PW, 8i and 6i - noting flight patterns of each.

      day 94. Realized I’m getting a little too handsy. Worked on getting the club into good places and much shorter, slower swings to learn the movement.

      16th was a bit of loss of concentration and 18th looked like a low percentage putt from get go. I thought he ran out of mental gas those last few holes.
