Just wondering what everyone's thoughts where on this. The premium balls v1, zstar, pentra etc are designed to spin on greenside approaches. Does this tendency to spin affect driver accuracy, slices, hooks etc on less than perfect drives and advancement shots? Would a two peice ball be better suited, and more accurate for golfers whose swings are not perfect, or do you all see about the same accuracy etc  and the only difference between ball construction is on greenside control

A 2-piece ball is going to give you less sidespin, so yes, they would be more accurate for people with flawed swings.

As another option, you could go with a mid range 3 piece ball that does not have a urethane cover. They are usually in the $20 - $30 range.  These will usually have better spin around the greens than 2 piece balls but should still hit straight with the driver.

Titleist NXT/NXT Tour, Nike Vapor Speed, Callaway HX Bite, Callaway Diablo Tour, Top Flite Gamer/Gamer V2, Srixon Trispeed/Trispeed Tour, Bridgestone E6/E7, and I think there might be a few others. Some tour balls are 3 piece, but are out of the $20-35 price range.

No, man that's what I was looking for! Thanks! I think I'm going to upgrade this season from soft balls and play Gamer V2's. Heard a ton of great things about the Gamer V2's. Will I see a major difference or a difference at all if I make that change? I'm playing super cheap balls right now like DT so/lo DT Carry etc...

      Modern PGA Tour Bunker Shot

      By saevel25 ·

      I found this video... Old Method 1. Open the clubface a ton 2. Open the stance a ton 3. Swing along the foot line New Method 1. Set up with the handle lower, and the ball further away form the body. 2. The clubface still opens up, but lowering the handle helps in not having to open the stance as much or for some keep the stance closed. Keeping the stance closed allows them to keep their weight forward much easier.  Now, I question that the PGA Tour players are hitting steeply down into the sand. I think they may have gotten this wrong in the video. You can load up the weight on the front foot, and still hit the ball shallow. The amount of sand taken out in some of the swings is not that much, and the divot doesn't look that deep.  Thoughts?

      Model Local Rule Rocks and Roots (Please Let Me Know Your Thoughts)

      By saevel25 ·

      I would say I am not a fan. Honestly, I never ran into a situation where a tree root was anywhere close to the fairway. I am not a fan of free relief from a natural occurring feature of the course. Guess what, you have an option, unplayable lie. I know people think fairways should be pristine and free of all things that could inhibit your shot. I've played courses were big a** trees overhang a fairway and you have no shot at the green. It happens. If you think you will injure yourself, or do not want to chip out sideways from a root, then take an unplayable lie.  If you apply this rule, what is stopping someone from not being able to take a right-handed swing to being able to take a swing? A tree could be in the fairway (think hole #18 at Pebble Beach). They are like, I need relief. Now they get to have a shot at the green when the tree is there as an obstruction, something to play around.  Sorry, I do not think this is a good rule at all. If the course has that many trees, that it comes up a ton. Then vote as a club to have them removed.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By klineka ·

      I've thought about this quite a bit since I've started using Shot Scope. Not all shots from a certain yardage that end up a certain distance from the hole are created equal, but I guess the thought is that over time those should even out since there would be other times where you're hitting into a funnel pin or something where it plays "easier" than what the SG suggests.

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By The Flush ·

      I voted decent weather golfer.  Generally it needs to be over 50 and sunny with no wind or over 70 if there is wind or rain.  I generally don't play in the rain or when it is over 95 unless it is league night and I can't reschedule or some type of event. Most of the time that I have played in the rain is because we just got caught in the rain, almost never tee off in the rain. We did tee off in the rain the first time we played at Eaglesticks, but it was warm and there was not much of a chance of rain and while it absolutely poured for a while, it stopped after 4 or 5 holes.
