The Noodles are my favorite cheap golfballs. The only hit against them is that they don't have any alignment aids. It's pretty much the only ball that doesn't have any to speak of. Get one of these and you'll be great...

I've heard a lot of good things about them, too. I've had some bad luck with them, but I'm not going to blame my terrible golf game on the balls I use :)

I'm going out to try them out again tomorrow.

I used to hit the regular "Noodle" ball - but I have since found the "Noodle Softest" ball. I prefer that much more than the standard Noodle. Give it a try. Distance seems to be about the same if not a hair bit shorter, but the feel is SOOOO much better - particularly for the short game. It also seems to have a higher ball flight. More of a carry and than a roll ball.

I can't find 'em at the bigger golf stores (Golf Galaxy, GolfSmith, etc.) But you can find them at Walmart and Target.

If you like the regular Noodle, I think you'll love the Noodle Softest.

What I Play:

Driver: R9 460
4 Wood: G15

Hy: Callaway FT 3Hy

Irons: AP1 4-PW

Wedges: Vokey 52* & 60*, Mizuno MP-T 10 58*

Putter: Newport Studio Select 2.7

Ball: Nike One Vapor

by "regular" noodle, do you mean the noodle long and soft??

and also, dont softer balls create more spin off the driver which makes it more open for slices and hooks.

I gamed these for a while.

They are great balls. Distance is super and the trajectory a bit higher than other balls.

They took spin nicely and bit into the greens nicely. I never had trouble getting them to check up.

Feel off the putter was nice, too.

Perhaps the best value ball in the game!!!!!

Yes. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Noodle ball's slogan has always been "long and soft." I have played both the regular Noodle ball and currently play the Softest Noodle ball and I haven't noticed one being more prone to a slice/hook then the other.

I beg to differ. We went through this earlier this year. The Long & Soft is actually owned by Dicks Sporting Goods, I believe.

Played these today for the first time as it was pretty cold outside. It was around 45 degrees most of the day. Distance seemed pretty good and had good feel around the greens.

go look at the back of a long and soft sleeve/box. it says manufactured by Taylormade corporated. or something like that

Exactly right. That would be the Noodle + Long & Soft...which is owned by Taylor Made.

The Maxfli brand is now owned by Dicks Sporting Goods.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
