I have a corporate golf day coming up , a 4 ball comp with all the usual special prizes, nearest the pin, long drive , straightest drive etc.. Im looking for a little extra distance for the long drive holes so am thinking of changing balls for those holes only (i know your not supposed to but its not an official tournament) What ball would you recomend? ss is around 110mph

I'm trying to think of the those smaller, heavier British balls that go further...I think they're called Desperados or something. Get those.

I've purchased a dozen of the Condor balls from NGCgolf and they just don't work with any normal swing speed. You'd have to be superman to get one of them to boom out there. I've played with a bunch of guys who pound a normal golf ball pretty far, a nice drive that really flies, and without exception they all can't get the nonconforming ball to launch. It flies lower and rolls better, but it's not a net increase in distance. It does fight thru the wind but instead of a big arc out to the fairway, sanding softly and rolling a little, it's like a bullet that never gets enough lift to really get out there. I'm convinced it would take a guy with a competitive long drive type of swing to gain distance with the slightly heavier and smaller nonconforming ball.

Sponsorship does not equal choice. They have to use Pinnacle rocks.

You can use whatever ball you like. It will make no difference. But, probably anything BUT an Pro V1.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Still, pinnacle gold distance balls go pretty far.

I'd choose them for a long drive comp.

Dang, so they don't do much huh? That's a bummer, had dreams of sneaking them in the bag during tournaments and using them on the distance holes. Well there my cheating goes!

    • Flying into ATL on Sept 11 (Thu), early, leaving Sept 15 (Mon), late. Dates are fixed. Trying to hit the best RTJ Trail stops without spending half the trip in the car.   Plan: Thu: Grand National (Lake or Links) Fri: GN AM, then drive to Capitol Hill, play Senator Sat: Capitol Hill – Judge Sun: Ross Bridge Mon: Oxmoor Ridge early, drive to ATL   Thinking about squeezing in Cambrian Ridge after Capitol Hill—worth it or too much? Would love any feedback or tips from those who’ve done it.
    • Day 73 (13 Jul 25) (note: forgot to post the "day" for the past few days, up to day 73) - Easy day in the backyard, with time on the 50deg wedge and the mat (simulating tight lies around the green) working on low spinners.  Love using this mat as it is small and portable but also lends to being a type of alignment rod to get a proper setup.  Finished up with a few swings with the 54.  
    • Congrats on the new leg of your journey - the challenge of learning something new while dealing with Parkinson’s is totally awesome.
    • Played several holes today with my Buddy's left haded clubs.  I was going to order just woods, but after playing again today and hitting the irons well, I will be ordering a complet set of Left handed Clubs.    They are Callaway Edge, Regular flex.  I am excited !  Will let you know after I try them and let you know how well they performed.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • Depends in part on what lie the greens crew left me. If it's first cut of rough or fairway and clear shot to cup, it's an 8i chip and run. If it's shaggy, or I have to go over ridge or bunker, it's a cut shot with a 58* LW.
