Laddie Precept X are good for slow swings, if you can swallow some pride, otherwise nike makes a ball for this, either karma or easy distance.

What golf balls are designed for players using A flex shafts? Are golf balls even designed with that kind of thinking in mind?

It's not so much A-flex directly, but there are golf balls designed for slower swing speeds. Alomar has some good suggestions in his post.

A link to the suggestions would be great. I tried searching but nothing obvious turned out.

What got me thinking was golf balls targeted to kids based on swing speed - 70 MPH - 80 MPH - 90 MPH. How is shaft flex matched to ball make/composition?

I'm pretty sure it isn't. If your shaft is correct for your swing, you'll deliver the club head at the right angle and aimed at your initial target. Determine that club head speed, ask yourself what kind of game you play (or want to play) and then go ball hunting.

      I’ve never really let my kids win at anything deliberately. I mostly just played games a little bit more casually just to try to match their ability to strategize, but if they won it wasn’t because I threw the game or anything. I don’t feel like my kids need to or should win all the time. That’s not how life works, and the sooner they learn that, the better off they will be.

      That’s going to be a no from me. Why should I pay extra for new technology just because of their R&D cost? I doubt they’re going to be transformative. I’ll stick with the old tech if it’s cheaper.

      My whole family likes Mille Bourne. We've done family tournaments. I've always enjoyed Euchre too. My company has an annual Euchre tournament.  My kids like Monopoly. I like it too, but my wife makes me let the kids win.  ... BTW - How old do your kids have to be before you no longer have to let them win at Monopoly? Cuz, I keep suggesting to my wife that I should be allowed to smoke them by now.  Our family also plays Blokus Trigon a lot, a bunch of Spy Alley and a bit of Azul.
