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.

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 iacas · Posted

      https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/handicapping/world-handicap-system/world-handicap-system-usga-golf-faqs/faqs---calculate-course-handicap-and-playing-handicap.html That's up to you and the league. You can do a percentage, or just do 100%. If they're already salty about a 12.4 becoming a 10… I don't know that docking it to an 8 with 80% will go over all that well. If the higher handicaps are winning way too often, a percentage is often warranted. It affects them more than the low handicappers (22 x .2 = 4.4, 2.2 x .2 = 0.44).

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      Of course, what I also should have asked is "what handicap should be used in a league? The "Course Handicap" or the "Playing Handicap" and if the latter, what allowance should be made for non-elite stroke play competition? (95% of C.H.? 90%? or forget about the playing handicap altogether?

      I'll keep the rule only if the water is visible above the surface either where the ball is placed or a normal stance would take place. If not, play ball. I took this the same as a divot, just bad luck. Adjust for a saggy/wet lie and hit the ball. (maybe put on your rain clothes before :D)
