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.

Focus, connect and follow through!

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.

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.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
