I am curious do Long Drive players use different golf balls? I ask because I know that me being an average duffer prefer a softer ball to that of the tour balls as i get more distance out of it. I would think that the huge swing speeds generated by those 50" shafts, the LDA guys would need something even harder. So I figured, why not ask.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

the ones that i have seen have been sponsered by Pinnacle so they use those balls. They are rock hard so that is not a surprise.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

there is an actual pinnacle long drive ball they use in competition, but when i play golf with my best friend(competes in long drive tourneys) he uses pinnacle.. hits the ball 100 yards farther than me and i am around 250, 275 if i really get ahold of it, makes me sick sometimes. i destroy him in the short game area though.

Pinnacle, an industry-leading brand synonymous with distance, is the official golf ball for all LDA-sanctioned competitions. (from the LDA web site)

Great for all out distance but I can't get them to stop on the green.
