That's what I'm going to do this year once this snow gets out of here, bought a dozen each of Bridgestone e6 tour yellow, Srixon Q-star tour yellow, Nike One Vapor speed (on sale) and Top Flite D2+ Feel. Hopefully one of these is my ball with my swing speed of 85-95.

I would add/recommend Top Flite Gamer V2's.  it is more comparable than the D2+ Feel to the other balls mentioned.

Having used the D2+ feel, I can recommend it based on 1$/ball price point. It's a great ball for iron shots, pretty good off the tee, and it feels brilliant off every club. It doesn't have urethane spin, which applies to partial shots, but on full shots you can stop it with ease. As long as you make a full enough swing to compress it, it spins just the right amount. On pitches and chips within 30 yards or so, expect the ball to release a bit unless you play it high, but you could get it to check up if you're skilled enough.

I'd prefer the Gamer or a firmer tour ball myself, but I'd use these balls again.

Gamers are $10 per dozen.  Less if you buy larger quantities.

I would like to know exactly where; they're 20$ a dozen online and in stores here. I got a 40$/36 deal, but I would consider buying 4 dozen at that price... I have to try out the B330, Srixon Zx, and maybe the Nike 20xix since I haven't tried the Gamer since I added 15mph clubhead speed.

And don't say Ebay.

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
