I was playing the Q Stars for a while, but I never could get the feel I wanted from them. Switched to the e6 late last season and am very happy with them now. Hopefully they continue to work for me

Quote: When I looked at the Bridgestone site, and they always recommend the E6.. unless I lie to them and say I do not fight a minor slice on tee shots sometimes. I was hesitant

Srixon Q stars are good balls for players that need less spin and titleist NXT are good also just a bit more expensive but have a softer feel. I play z stars but if I were to downgrade I think it woul

Loving the nike 20XI's, personally I love the sound, feels like I'm hitting a spring.

And my Driver is already loud, sounds like an explosion off the tee, and carries farthest in the group.

I had been hitting the Bridgestone E6 moving to the Srixion Soft Feel (cost), and not going back to the Titleist DT Solo.

Curious, what didn't you like about the venerable  Titleist DT So/Lo?

I have been playing them as my "go-to" ball  for some time now and believe that they are the best overall ball for most amateurs/ recreational players from the standpoint of performance and price point.

I've never encountered anyone who did not like them, although perhaps preferring another ball....

I'm just wondering what you didn't like about them to form such a seemingly strong negative opinion.

I buy a dozen of the cheapest balls i find for practice, water holes, and when I am playing bad. I play with TM lethal and 20xi on a regular basis. prov1 are ok balls, but i play better with other balls. just my opinion, but you do what works for you.

Doesn't everybody? I could have sworn I saw Woods dip into his bag and pull out a scuffed up Pinnacle to use on #12 at Augusta last year.

When it was 65 and I got out a few Mondays ago for a few holes I bought a 24-pack of Pinnacles in the pro shop for a song because I was worried that I'd lose a bunch because they'd bury in the soft fairways (the snow had just melted - I figured it'd be soggy out) and I didn't want to lose some good balls.


Turns out I found all the balls I hit, plus seven more, so now I've got 24 Pinnacles. I'll save them for the next time it's actually soggy out, give them away to some kids, something…

Has anybody tried the 2013 Bridgestone 330RX? Is it any different from the 2012 ball? I know that the ball changed drastically from 2011 to 2012.

I looked around for gamer v2's at dicks sporting goods today and had no luck. I grabbed a box of the top flite gamer tours for 25 bucks. Anyone try these yet? Did they stop making the gamer v2?

Right now the Callaway HEX Pro (only at Costco). Pretty comparable to the HEX Black but nearly 1/2 the price.

I use Srixon Soft Feel also.

Great feel about them from close range and rolls nicely on the greens

I'm curious about that too... I play the e6 but the DT Solo's are my next favourites. You can get them for $20/dozen over here, you can't beat that price for the quality of the balls.

I just played a round with TM Burner Tour and really liked them a lot. I picked up a dozen for $18. Not bad for the price at all.

      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.
