I know it's mostly preachIng to the choir here, but man is this a good ball and at the price probably a great ball. I used it starting last fall and through the spring. As the weather got better, switched to my stash of TM Reds. I really like the TM, but the NW weather this summer never firmed up things enough to need the extra spin. In fact I was coming up short on chips and putts most of the summer. Decided to bust out the Gamers on Tuesday and shot my low round/personal best of 73. Chips rolled out a little more, which I like, and the same with putts. Ponied up on Thursday and played a nicer course that I had never played before. Brought the Reds just in case, but after the first hole (driver, 9 iron to 15', 2 putt par) continued with the Gamers and shot 77. Today, went to a course I haven't played in a month and shot another 73. Now I know it's not all ball, but I think I got up and down more times in these 3 rounds than in the previous I don't know how many. Instead of leaving myself 6-8' putts after longer chips, I was 2-4' with more roll out. I think I will be sticking with the Gamers for the rest of the season.

I've found that I don't really care for urethane balls. I tend to go for the spinnier non-urethane balls for the same reasons.

I enjoy using the Gamer balls also, they're always in my bag.  I particularly like them early morning or when it's a little wet outside.

Just bought 4 boxes off ebay for 9.99/box.  After shipping, I paid only $1/ball total.  I'm not really fussy about balls, but it's a nice all-around ball with a good balance of distance, spin, and durability.

Does anybody know an online shop in Europe that still sells the Gamer V2?

I've been looking for it for quite some weeks now, but can't find any seller.

Any ideas?

thx and greetings

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
