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.

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!

  • iacas changed the title to MG Golf Balls?

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.

    • I agree with @pganapathy about removing some clubs. I would recommend removing the 2, 3, 4 and 5 irons for now. Play with Driver 3W 5W 3H 5H 6 iron 7 iron 8 iron 9 iron PW ( you don’t have listed) 52 56 Putter Th 60 wedge can be difficult for new players, but you could keep that If your 3H is adjustable, increased the loft to be more like a 4H. Play with these on course and see if you can get a feel of the actual yardages for each club and especially the gaps between them. It may take 10 or more rounds. A par 3 course is helpful for determining the gaps in the irons and some woods too. A device like a Shot Scope H4 can really help give you your actual yardage on course.

    • Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice. 
    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
