So I went to a club fitter today and found out that my club head speed is around 110-120 and that my beginner driver is crap but my question is what ball should I be using?  I'm still a 20 handicap player with a slice and some* straight drives that are bombs.  I hit irons very good but that doesn't help when my drive is in the woods/water/rough and I like to have feel around the greens.  Also I can't afford a ProV1 or any crap like that cuz I'm only 16 and ain't got the dough.  Help please.

If you're looking for Titleist, the NXT series is sub $30, but the Topflite Gamer V2 is a good inexpensive ball as Fozcycle says.

Yeah I've heard all good stuff about the Gamer V2.  Lately I've tried the Nike Mojo and the Top Flite D2 straight and they were both good but I think my swing speed is a little to fast for the 2 piece.  I like the sound of going to a 3 piece.

At a 20 handicap, I suggest going with an inexpensive, distance ball (something in the $10-$25 a dozen range).  At this point, your ballstriking isnt consistent enough to get everything out of a premium ball, so youre better off with a more low-spin ball.

Granted, it wont check up on the greens as much, but right now youre not at a level where your short irons and wedges are precise enough to need that.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By ChetlovesMer · Posted

      During league night on Wednesday I had a bit of a lightbulb go off and I struck my approaches well all day. But the best one was a Gap Wedge from the fescue on hole 16.   Crossed myself up on a tee shot that requires a fade. Instead I hit a slight draw into the fescue. (The fescue doesn't show up on the shotscope picture, but trust me, it's there.) I was left 109 to the flag. I hit a gap wedge to about 12 feet. Yeah, I missed the birdie putt. But didn't embarrass myself. Took tap in par and happily moved on to hole 17.  In all the time I've been playing this course. I've never played a ball to the left of the little tree shown in the top right corner of the bottom picture.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By ChetlovesMer · Posted

      My game, for a lot of reasons is finally starting to improve.  I darn near completed the no sixes challenge this morning. I snuck out early today and played my home course. I was the first one off and finished in under 2 hours.  I hit 8 fairways and was just off on 4 others. Only 2 tee balls were what I'd consider wild. (I made a GIR from the next fairway over on one of them. 🤷‍♂️) I made 8 GIR's and had 8 NGIR's. I shot my lowest round since 2019 and didn't even putt particularly well. I had four or five really good birdie chances and didn't convert any. I also missed one well inside 3 feet on 13. That one hurt. Oops.  I played really well on Wednesday. Shooting a +1, 37 on the back nine. I birdied 2 of the last 4 holes. My approaches are where I'm seeing the biggest difference. I think the swing I've been working on for the past few months is starting to sink in. Here is Wednesday's strokes gained vs a 5 HCP. I'm excited to play tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing if this is this the start of a parade or just a lone drummer passing by?

      6700 treelined course (72 rating). It was a good yardage for my distance, not his. It was an official mid am competition. He finished 2nd with 4 under after 36 holes.

      Played Sunday at my home course and shot an 83.....with four 3 putts.   So that is at least promising.   Played Men' Night last night (9 holes) and was Even after 7.....but then had a tough bogey and a terrible double to finish +3.   Either way.....I like the way things are trending.
