Is there much difference? I'm having a hard time finding the newer version for less than $20 a dozen.

i'm wondering the same thing.  hell, how do i tell if i got the 2010 or 2012 version?  i just bought two boxes...they were the black box, so i think they are the newer version of the ball (i thought the green box was the original)

but i'm not as smart as i look, so...

Key thing is to get Gamer.v2, not the original. The .v2 version carries a little farther, and normally doesn't shred any

when you juice a short iron or wedge shot.

The outer box differerences are likely an ecology move. The new black outer box for the four sleeves opens at end flaps, rather than having a separate top lid and bottom. Probably cuts down amount of cardboard used by 40%.

I think you're right.. If TF had made even a cosmetic tweak to the ball, it would have been rechristened "Gamer.V3" with related marketing hoopla and a special monogrammed golf cap.

The V2 comes in 2 different boxes, the green box is older version, black is new.  I don't know if they changed the ball characteristics but it's not uncommon for manufacturers to do so without changing the name.  I found out there are 7 different versions of the Titleist NXT-Tour (first version was 2 piece, rest are 3) out there and the only visible difference between them is the ball alignment symbol pattern.

I've had some V2's in green boxes and some V2's in black boxes.  The green boxed balls had a different alignment marking on them (arrows in both directions) than the the black boxed version (arrow in only one direction).    That said, both were marketed as a 3 piece ball with the dimple-in-a-dimple technology and they both played the same for me.

If the alignment marking is different they are different versions but that doesn't mean the play characteristics were changed.  In the case of the NXT-Tour, play characteristics did change from version to version according to Golf Magazine though I didn't notice the difference when I played them.

From the limited research I've done on it, the only difference between the 2010 Gamer V2 and 2012 Gamer V2 is cosmetic... As others have said the 2010 version comes in a green box where the newer ones come in a more eco-friendly black box; in addition to that the side stamp has changed as well.

      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

      By mdl · Posted

      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?
