Golf Balls

[tterrag]

What golf ball do you play, and how do you mark it? I play a Taylormade TP Penta, and put a black line on it.

i'd be interested to hear/read about some blind golf ball tests to see if diehard pro v fans can tell if they are blindly playing a z-star or even something cheaper. and if someone playing a penta will notice that the pro v they're playing blind is missing 2 whole layers.

Actually, I've heard of one of those blind test stories, where they let people hit Top Flights, and they performed equal or better than their Pro Vs. Dunno if this is true.

I mark my Nike tour by covering 1 side of the logo in blue and then putting a pink line aross the part of the ball that says (one tour)

I did a blind golf ball test not that along ago. 4 golf balls Titleist NXT tour, Pro V1, Nike tour and Nike tour D. I got all of them right except for the Nike tour and the Pro V1. That is when I changed ball to the nike.

I have never done a blind test, but I can definitely tell the difference between a hard and a soft ball. I use the Callaway Diablo Edges but have also played with Pro V1's (I know....from one extreme to the other). The Edges are a much softer ball and feel totally different coming off the club face (especially the driver). They also have less spin and can definitely see the difference there on backspin.

Pro V1x for me. Used to mark my ball with two blue dots one on either side of the number. But I am so tired of guys that will pick up a new Pro V even if it is not in their fairway like they are the only ones playing the course that I started to write "drop it loser" on both sides of the ball...

Right now I am playing nike 36 pack from a wholesale store. They are reloads and are gtg for me. I initial them usually and thats it.

I play Noodles Easy Distance. Since it's a relatively new ball and I'm the only member of my club that plays it, I don't mark it although I might have to eventually.

Lately I've been playing the Nike One Vapor. I've been trying a lot of different balls lately, trying to find one that "fits" my game. I like the Vapor. It seems like a straight ball, feels good off of irons and driver, greenside spin isn't the best, they seem to be pretty long, and (most importantly for me lately) I love the feel of them off the putter.

I don't know why I mark, since I rarely come across other Nike One Vapor balls...... but I mark mine with two black Sharpie dots and one red Sharpie dots above the swosh.

currently, Bridgestone E6 with one black, one red dot on side of the logo
