I only use Trispeed Tours, i love em and wont change. i used some zstar tour yellows the other month and still have 6 left on the shelf, I liked them but they burn a hole too big in my pocket.

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. "Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

 

I have a weird hang up about balls when I play and I know it can't make that big a difference, but I pop a new sleeve almost every time I walk onto the first tee. I'll play those 3 balls until they're all lost or until the round ends. If I'm playing badly enough to lose 3, I'll pull from my old/found balls to finish up. If the three balls survive, I'll drop them into the top pocket and pull them first should I need a new ball. The only time I changed things up was when I was playing some Srixon Z's, I played through each sleeve until they were all lost. They're more expensive than my usual balls, and I really wanted to see if they were a lot better. (They were) but I went to a Bridgestone ball fitting last week and figured I try their recommendation for a while, so I'l be playing E6's for the rest of this year more than likely.


No, I am not ball loyal and wil change during my round. I play everthing from tour level balls to Laddie Extrems, however I will not play Top Flight or Callaway Warbirds, just too hard IMO. I haven't found that the ball makes that big, if any difference in my scoring. Since most of my chipping is dead handed there is little difference between the balls on the green for me.


I'll usually pick out 3 balls out of my bag, sometimes all the same brand but not always.  Ill play those 3 until i lose them or they get too dirty or cut or scuffed(i.e. cart path) to keep using if there isnt a ball washer(many of the courses i play have few or none)  nearby.    I like those intech beta ti balls, about 50 cents each new and they go just as far as when i hit a $3 pro v1 or other premium ball that I find. It helps to have clean balls, they do go farther and fly straighter.

I am now. I bought 90 brand new Gamer v2s off of ebay for $85 and will only keep gamer V2s in my bag. I'll do that until I run out of these and gamer V3s come out. I've given away the other balls I find. Anyone know how much lostgolfballs et al will pay for the used balls we find?

Probably be better off just selling them yourself in say 24 or 36 ball lots,perhaps separating them by brand.  Im sure there may be players on this forum who might buy them, I think ive seen balls for sale a few times in the marketplace.  The only negative thing about buying and selling golf balls is the shipping costs.   If nothing else, sell them back to a local course that would eliminate the need to ship them.

You'll only find Titleist Pro V1's in my bag. By using the same ball for every shot(Including practice) I'm able have a consistent feel and step up to every shot with confidence that my ball will perform the way I expect it to.

    • Day 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change. 
    • There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it. 
    • I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down. 
    • Day 4: 3/26/25 Par4Success workout followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • Day 249: did a stack putting session and then worked on 5 foot putts for a bit.
