Still think the golf ball is important?

someone wanted attention. lol.

why exactly did you feel the need to create a whole new thread? You are saying nothing new that someone else didn't say in the other thread...

--- Resume ..... if you are not close to zero ..... I doubt whether playing a high end premium ball will bring much profit !

Agree with your anchor statement. I do find, however, that

midspin balls deliver a lot better flight than distance balls. On a solid, full short iron, I can get them to stop pretty well in place. Medium irons will release 3-4 feet, but at least they will stay on the green. Distance balls are great off the tee on dry, summer days... but they disappoint me elsewhere.

Seemed fair to me.

My feelings are this...a low handicapper can shoot a good score with any ball as long as they have enough practice with it and figure out how it will react on different shots. A premium ball just makes certain shots easier.

I play $3-4 balls because you pay for consistency of spin. Although from what I hear the Bridgestone balls are making it happen for $2.50 a ball or better.

No I'm sure it was the sound off the putter face that caused him to shank that ball OB - LOL - what a load of cr**!! The DT Solo and Srixon AD333 are better balls than the NXT Tour in what universe?

Yeah, and he was saying those were better balls than the ProV1x, not the NXT Tour.

this is like one exagerated comment after another...

So, I wasn't the only one who thought so.

Premium golf balls are great if you hit the ball solidly, but they can be just as much of a hinderance to your game if you dont hit the ball solidly. Most of us simply dont have the swingspeed and the control to utilize the added performance of a premium ball and would be better off with the low spin of a distance ball.

I shot a 82 (par 69) yesterday with a 1-piece srixon range ball in a competition (the organizors said I could play with it). I had never played the course before either.

thats not a good score , not trying to be mean but whats to say if u had a prov1 you would shot a 72 , how do u know , come back when u shot a 68 or something with a range ball

He played to his handicap. Do you shoot a lot of 59s with the pro v1x tour?

maybe on tiger woods 09 i am not a very good golfer , i am just saying shooting a 82 with a range ball doesnt prove its better than a prov1 , maybe he wouldve shot a 79 with the prov , know what i am saying ?

It seems to be lower than his average score, but I hear you.

I think there's a ball for everyone. I play Fuzz and they are good for me. I am just glad that there are so many choices.

[bradabco]

there are so many moving parts in our sport. every piece effects the ultimate outcome, the ball still matters.

Ever since i started playing the new taylormade penta's, my score has dropped from low to mid 80's to breaking 80 consistently

Well, I'm sold.

[sean_miller]

Well, I'm sold.

I just got back from the store and already donated all my other balls to charity.

That's the spirit.

I was just wondering what I was going to do w/ all my other balls. I was just going to hit them into the bean field that borders my acreage, but maybe I'll donate mine too.
