Hi Forum Members,
This is my first Golf Forum, been on other forums but no one wanted to talk about golf, only politics etc. so I left!

Just got back from a practice round where I A:B'ed the top golf balls. Here are some observations: If you really need a long drive, use the ProV1x, it will give you the best opportunity to max out. For a well behaved ball the ProV1 is tough to beat, but the Taylor Made TP Red is both long and well behaved.

Who said you have to use the same ball on all the holes during a round? If you need to stop it over a bunker on a par 3 then use a ProV1 for its spin; long drive ProV1x, balance of spin and distance TP Red.

If it's cold go for the softer feel balls like NXT
If it's hot and you feel loose and swinging fast then the harder balls like ProV1x or HXTour.

That's how I spent my afternoon, comparing these balls during SuperTwilight time on great course in the Bay Area. :)

Look forward to some golf talk here, I love the game and have been following the proTour for nearly 30 yrs.

    • Taylormade had the Aeroburner mini driver that was 253cc. The only mini driver I have owned. It was a hot beast.
    • Wilson brought out the Killer Whale driver in I think around 1991 - it was around 300cc and looked enormous at the time. I was used to much smaller. Now not so much. I think the appeal of the mini driver is a lot of drivers these days are designed not to turn over. It's hard to hit a controlled draw with them.  For a lot of pros, when they come upon a hole that favors a draw, they don't want to hit their driver because they can't (or won't) draw it. A mini driver can be their draw club and the fact that they can also hit it off the deck means it's not costing them a club in their bag to do that. It's like a mix of a 3 wood and a driver that checks two boxes for one slot in the bag.
    • The fact remains that a lot of people will buy the club. And as I noted, I play with several golfers that have mini drivers. The Callaway one is pretty big, too. It's not 280cc. 280cc is, FWIW, I think about 23cc larger than the Titleist PT driver of yesteryear. The GT 3W is 200cc, so this adds 80cc to that, while still being one of the smaller mini drivers which are often closer to 300cc or just over it.
    • 😁That’s because it’s Golfwrx 🙄…where everyone is a +12, hits is 370, and has unlimited money for new equipment!   Maybe I’ll go over there and say I ordered 12 of them 😁   Gotta keep up with the Jones over there.  As you know there are a couple other sites like that🙄. Niche audience is the perfect phrasing.  Most of the comments so far back that up.
