I picked up one of those pink paula creamer balls on the golf course and played the rest of the round with it...and that ball rules. Pink or not. I bought a sleeve preparing for sub 50 degree weather.

Nothing wrong with that, I use the pink Precepts, but then again, they were meant for people like me

So you want a 2 piece ball with a low compression in the cold weather?

Thats the gist Im getting...

I bet they are just low compression balls. I use and resommend lower compression balls during winter play. Also it doesn't hurt to keep them warm prior to your game.

I tried the Wilson Zips last year when it was at it's coldest down here.

I didn't really like them...just felt mushy off the putter.


I'll stick with my beloved ProV1...ebaying for the "practice" version whenever possible.

In the winter I'll use a handwarmer in each pocket. I'll keep a ball in my pocket while I game another. I'll rotate them every hole. Maybe it doesn't make a hill of beans difference....but that's what I do.

I've only played 27 holes in Novemember and only 18 in October....work schedule, family illnesses, etc.

I say that to say this: I really love the spin and checking power the ProV1 provides. Yesterday (game is really rusty) I missed a few more greens than normal. I left myself numerous chips and pitches. I've been working on keeping the ball lower vs. flopping so often. I was able to hit those short shots with zeal and the ball would zip up nicely.b

One hole, par 3, No. 13 at Midland Valley I had an uphill wedge shot of around 50ft. I used PW and firmed it fairly hard. The ball cleared the front mound and tucked down quickly...I didn't see all this, but a playing partner said it came in very hot and low and zipped hard, leaving a 6ft par putt.

I really love how this ball putts, too.

I can't get the same short game feel from the "winter" balls...at least I haven't seen one that would work the same.

LOVE the practice pro v1. TGW has them usually and if you check now and then you can get them for 25 a dozen. There is no difference (besides 20 bucks)

And for people in Georgia and Florida. I really wouldn't call 55, 60 "cold". You are blessed with the never ending golf season.

The idea of the handwarmer in the pocket with the "extra" ball is very likey a violation of the rules. Every party has a pooper thats wyhy you invited me!!!

The lady precepts are very nice balls.
