Let me just say that I am a golf ball snob. While in Ireland this past September a gentleman I was playing with told me about the MG ball. I was polite but not overly enthusiastic about trying one. Three weeks later a dozen MG balls were delivered to my house compliments of my new friend. So what the heck, I decided to try one. This morning I put my Prov V1 away and I used an MG ball and I was amazed at the distance and feel I was getting. If I didn't know better I would have thought that I was playing a very expensive ball. When I got home I actually ordered 10 boxes which cost me just $200.

What other fine MG regalia did you purchase, this person that obviously has no affiliation with the company.

A tour c4 was given to me by a guy I was paired up with on vacation. Feels just like the Pro v1. I am not the greatest golfer under the sun. I bought a dozen and gave a couple to my son the serious golfer (3 handicap) and he is now ordering for himself. As for the $12.00 dozen balls I could not tell you any thing about them, but the c4's I will use them from now on at half the price of Pro v"s

I am guessing that you lose a lot of balls when you play????

I play 2 rounds per week all year long and do not run through 5 dozen.

I first used these 3 years ago at a friend's suggestion, being a pro v1 snob before that day.  All I know is the cover feels the same on putts - soft and responsive -- and my distance is fine -- I'm sure a pro can tell and mg admits to a faew differences -- eg fewer dimples and even to a few yards less on testing if I recall -- but I like them and in my mind which is all that matters they play like pro v1s.

I love the MG balls.  I have played them for about 3 years.  I was introduced to them by some guys at my club.  I now play with MG's I buy or Pro v's that are gifts.  I can't tell the difference.

I've been playing the C4 for years.  Literally cannot tell the difference between it an a ProV.  Probly only have a 95mph driver speed. tho.  They also make a good glove.

Yeah, I've been playing their gloves all year ... they go for $5 on ebay (factory direct) with free shipping & are the real thin cabrietta leather, not synthetic - best deal I've ever seen on a golf glove.

I have purchased a couple of boxes of these balls.  I think they are just as good as most of the "Name" brands.  Probably, for the money, they are a little bit of a better buy.

One of my friends works at a golf course and he brought to a round a couple of these balls made by MG Golf. I've never seen them before, and they have a really soft cover like premium balls such as Pro V1s and what-not. Has anyone ever used these? They sell two types for $12 and $20 per dozen. And according to them, they perform very similarly to Pro V1s (the $20 balls).

Used these quite a bit. Great ball and get better performance than some of the very popular balls I have used in the past. For half the price!

I started using these balls about five years ago, and was immediately sold! I found them to spin as well as Pro-V’s for less then half the price, as well as no loss of distance. The only minor issue I had was durability. The urethane cover is very thin. I would still be playing them, but I can no longer find them on MG’s site. My guess is they are no longer available.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
