I currently play the lethal and it is a great ball, it just is so rediculusly expensive!  Any recomendations for a replacement around $30 a dozen?

What's the deal with the Lethal? Some pro was telling me that I need to check it out. He said it is long off the tee. Anyone?

Wait, wait, don't tell me.

High launch, low spin off the tee....

Right?

It's deja vu all over again.

Actually they are pretty good off the tee.  At least for me!

This guy was telling me that for guys @ 100 ss it was a ball to reckon with.

Yes, but they are now at ProV prices ...

I just can't get myself to pay more than $32-35 for a premium ball.

$25 for the TP5 is even better.

This is a Pro V1x/Lethal/Penta/anything quality ball for $35: KickX Tour Z . It's the ball I play. Sorry, but true - and I wouldn't play it if it didn't work well, as I can get balls free (enough to play anyway) from anyone.

Dang! Really? I just bought a couple dozen tp3's because they were that price. I would have preferred the 5's but they weren't on sale yet. And, Erik, I also intend on trying out the kick x too! I've been experimenting all around lately. Liking the tp3s for now.

One of my buddies over at the PGA Superstore gave me a sleeve of the TM Lethal to play last week. I really liked them. Then I went into the store and saw a box on the shelf.....$45.99! No thanks.

Yes, TP5's have been discounted almost everywhere.  Check out RockBottom, they are selling TP5's for $26.99, TP5 Practice for $19.99 and TP3 for $19.99.

Why not the Wilson Staff FG or FG Tour. Great balls for the money if you can live without feeling you have to have the "it" brands. If you really want to save try the Wilson Duo.

Any idea what TaylorMade ball replaced the Lethal? Is the Tour Preferred a 5 piece ball?

Yes, and yes. TM hasn't released a ball in nearly 2 years, which is a loooooong time for them.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
