Yesterday, I went out during these Indian summer days we're having in the Northeast this November and decided to depart from the B330RX/E5's and use the TF Gamers. Beat my previous low round by 4 strokes.

... course was short too. I'm calling out sick today and playing so I may mix the two for more comparison.

9.99 for 15 Used Callaway HX Tours

if your talking about online, yeah i like the prices too, but then you end up paying nearly another 10 bucks for shipping and tax, so it kinda dilutes the deal..

if your talking about at a store, all the power to ya.

+1 for the Srixon AD333. An outstanding ball for distance off the tee and feel/spin/stopping power around the greens at its price.

FYI - at my local Wal-Mart they have Callaway Warbirds on closeout for $9/dozen . I bought a few boxes . This was the first time I have used Callaway balls and I did like them .

I picked up some Bridgestone e6 balls last night at Dicks for 25$. I got them because they say they reduce spin and help hit straighter shots. I already put enough spin with my wedges to check up the ball, but it is embarrassing when I slice 1 out of 5 drives really bad. Hopefully they treat me well.

    • Got off to probably one of my best starts ever last night.   Was -1 thru 5 and finished the front 9 with a +1 (37).   The back 9 wasn't very good but we were playing speed golf to try and beat the darkness.   Ended up with 37/44 for an 81.   Still a great score for me.    My last 5-6 rounds have all contributed to my handicap index so we trending in the right direction.
    • I don't see the swing speed as any advantage or disadvantage either way. While they don't have the "WOW!" factor that some of the men have. i.e. "Did you see Rory's 380 yard drive on 17!" That kind of thing. They do, however, play the courses shorter. I think their average LPGA Tour course is like 6400 yards, compared to 7300 for the men. So when I watch it on TV it looks kinda the same. They hit driver then 8 iron, just like the men hit driver then 8 iron. I don't really care that the hole is 100 yards shorter or whatever.  Let me put it another way. If I was to watch the WNBA and then watch the NBA, I would immediately notice how much slower the players are. How much more the men play above the rim. etc... Why? Because the court is the same size. The hoop is the same height. When I watch the LPGA Tour and then watch the PGA Tour, I don't notice (as much). They hit driver then 5 iron into a par-5 just like the men do. Because the course is smaller, it looks similar. BTW - The same is true of softball vs baseball. The softball diamond is much smaller. So, the line shots look similar, there are equally as many home runs, because the field is smaller it looks pretty similar in play.  Here's where to my way of thinking, they can make some hay. If the LPGA Tour was to lead the way in terms of pace of play they may be able to add additional excitement to their game and possibly start to make some converts. I'm an idiot who has never been a sports commissioner. But it seems that when MLB noticed their games started approaching 4 hours and Major League Soccer was always done in under 2 hours. They made changes to try to improve and it seems to be working.  With the LPGA Tour it seems you either need exciting personalities or need exciting play. If they improve the pace of play issue it could add to exciting play. Again, I'm no expert but that seems like an area they could lead instead of follow. It does seem they've recognized this. So, we shall see.
