What ball on the market now is most like the old Titleist red & black 90 compression ??

In the old(er) days, like the mid-90s, the 90-compression balls had red numbers and the 100-compression balls were black. Not sure what you mean...

Ok, so what's your question? Would love to help, but I'm not sure what you're asking.

What current ball is comparable in feel?

None of them. The covers and cores and everything have changed dramatically since ten years ago. You're starting from scratch.

Pick up a Pro V1, a Callaway HX Tour 56, or maybe a TM TP Red as a starting point.

      Record 35 Under Par for First Contest of the Year

      By p1n9183 ·

      Par is just a guideline, a reference for a hole or a course. At the end of the tournament the player that took less strokes to hole out is the winner, no matter how much it is against the Par of the course.  35 under par is not desirable? then change a few holes par.. make all reachable par 5's as par 4's.  Every hole below 350 is a par 3.. This will make those 7200 courses play "harder" with a par of 66..67.  (Ridiculous, let's just appreciate the amazing game this players have).

      Record 35 Under Par for First Contest of the Year

      By turtleback ·

      Didn't Mike Souchak (and possibly others as I'm just going by memory, but I'm pretty sure Souchak was first) shoot a 257 years ago?  It wasn't on a par 73, so it wasn't 35 under, but still.

      Been Wondering About This Ruling for Years

      Sounds like you're trying to prune gorse.  Seems as if gorse can actually throw its needles at anyone nearby!

      Been Wondering About This Ruling for Years

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      BTW - The bush was ugly.  Anyway, in an attempt to add some clarity the ball was under some of the branches of the bush. But the bush was shaped in such a way where a left handed player could have played the shot without hitting any of the branches. A right handed player would have no chance. Thus my buddy/opponent I think was "reasonable" in addressing the ball with a flipped over 7 iron as he could have hit it lefty. .... There was, however, no guarantee that he would get good results as I've actually never seen him try to hit a ball in that manor in all the years I've played with him.
