hi guys my names marc and ive been playing golf around 5 months now. my golf is slowly improving and im shaving off around 20-30 shots off my game from when i started but im still very poor and rarely par a hole. ive treated myself to some ping g20's 3-sw and a g20 3,5,driver. im unable to use any of my woods due to a horrible spin and my ball flys off on a hard right turn. i was using pro v1 balls as i thought they would help me but after loosing them at a rapid rate i started looking else where for a cheaper alternative. i was using a srixon ball yesterday and it worked much better for me and came off the club much better than the pro v1 withouth the wild spin so i have empied my bag of these balls and now onto the cheap no frills ad333 srixons. anyway i look forward to browsing your forum and gaining some advise from you guys over the future :)

Well, it sounds like you already made a smart decision - getting rid of a ball that doesn't fit your game.  If you find a good deal on them the Top - Flight Gamers are a great ball. Not a lot of spin and great distance and feel.

The better one was joining the sandtrap

Hope you enjoy. Keep us posted as you make new discoveries and make progress in your scoring.

When I was loosing a lot of balls I tried LostGolfBalls.com.  I ordered a bunch of different kinds at first but settled on the NXT's in AAAA and AAAAA quality.  About 75 cent a ball and the AAAA quality are like new.

    • Day 284 - 2025-07-11 Demonstrated and hit enough short game shots in a playing lesson that I can count it as 15 minutes of practice today. Easily.
    • So few of us would ever even come close to actually having to contemplate such a thing that I'm not sure any of us can really provide much insight here. Do what you feel is best. Or most rational. Or most interesting. All I can say is this: whatever you choose, commit to it and go with it. Don't half-ass it and waffle between your choice and the other options.
    • Played 18 holes at Fort Hays, Kansas Wednesday.  It was 95* and very windy. We had to play the back 9 twice because the course had Men's night tied up on the front 9. In the wind and heat, I shot a 56. 2nd round, I shot a 50. (The last 2 holes I played left handed.)  The wind died down a little and the last two holes (17 & 18) I shot using the left handed clubs.  17th hole is a par 5 and using a left handed driver and 2 fairway #3 woods, I was on in 3 strokes. I did 3 put for a 6.  The 18th hole is a par 3 over the water to the green. I sliced the shot (playing left handed) because I was using a 5 iron to compensate for the wind. (Normally would use a 7 or 8 iron as it is only 123 yards.) Landed short of the green and then chipped on an took a 4.   So, my 18 holes, in heat and winds, I shot 56 & 50 = 106, and played the last 2 holes left handed.  Now, my 2nd question. I can buy a left handed starter set for around $200 complete with bag and putter.   Or do I just switch the woods? I shoot a pretty good short game inside 100 yards.  I love hearing your encouragement and positive opinions.  I was diagnosed with Parkinson's around 10 years ago. It started in my right hand and has now spread to no feeling in my right leg below the knee. (I asked the Neruologist how could I walk if I had no feeling and he said, "from muscle memory." ) Then into my left leg and left hand. I am 90% disabled but continue to view exercise as my best friend.  From January 1 to July 11, I will have walked 724,795 steps, 421 miles, and 1,420 flights of stairs. I have to use a cane 1st thing in the morning and take a hot bath to loosen my leg muscles up enough to walk.  (Takes about 2 hours) Currently, I am doing physical theraphy 2 times a week but that may be ending soon.)  My weight has dropped from 175 pounds to 159 pounds. Because my body is constanntly moving. Consquently, myright side is affecting my golf swing.  Also, my friends see the outside jerky movements. However, Parkinson's is a neruological disease and the involuntary movements are minor compared to the lack of taste, no appetite, mental mood swings, night sweats, and foggy brained.  Well, enough of my problems. I fight this disease every way I can and am not a quitter.    So back to my original question. Do I totally change over to left handed golf or do I just change the Woods? Your thoughts please.   BTW, My Dad, L.G. Warner was Texas State Left Handed Golf Champion in the 50's. The reason I play right handed was becuse left handed clubs were difficult to find and not popular until sometime later.  Blessings,  Retired Old Man, Terry      
    • My best shot was BS, I classify as good result. When you try to hit a punch out on the yellow line. Then you just steepen the club from A6.5 and pull hook it way left. It wraps around a tree, gets past the big tree before the green, and rolls up to about 10-FT from the pin.🤣 Then I leave the birdie putt 1/2" short in the heart. I deserved that. 🤣
