I been using the cheap two piece balls but now I upgraded to PROv1 X. which is about $3 or more per ball. Last 7 rounds I used7 balls. Should I just go back to using cheap stuff? 3$ per round sounds expensive.

Do you truly believe that you are benefitting from the ProV1 vs the old ball? If so, in what way and how much?

feels more solid, more spin, more yardage, feels better in putting too. I don't really want to go back now that I tried using prov1x for couple rounds but the PRICE is 3x more expensive. My old ball was $1 the prov1x is $3.

I don't think $3 per round for golf balls is that bad. I've been playing the TM Lethal ($4 each) and losing about 2 per round. I'm ok with it.

You know I played proV1s yesterday vs. NXT Tour that I was playing earlier.

I found that ball did get me more distance (on clean well struck shots), better "bites" on the greens, etc. This is the first time I thought the ball was making such a difference. I'm going to stick to ProV1s for a bit as long as I have some in my bag and see if my general play improves at all over a longer period of time.

Luckily I get my proV1s for free on the rail road tracks parallel to a Trump National par 5 haha.

I see a lot of people that don't have nearly enough club head speed to be using a Pro V1, and there are plenty of really good lower compression balls on the market that would be better for them (and cheaper), but they want to play with what the better players are playing. SMH

Of course they do the same thing with golf clubs and shafts too. SMH again!!!

Maybe they figure they can at least look like those better golfers.

I know one guy with about 90 mph club head speed that went and bought an identical driver to the longest hitter at our course that probably has 30 mph more club head speed. When he couldn't hit it and I asked him why he bought it he said that "Shane hits his so well that I thought it was a good club". SMH a third time!!!!

Well if you believe Titliests marketing anyone can play the Pro V1 these days.


Secondly, get them off eBay and you will end up paying cents on the dollar for balls of decent quality.

I`ve been using 2012 TM Penta, they`re a little bit cheaper and I like them a lot, maybe you can have a try.

Yep..."If you believe" them.

BTW I play with Pro V1s except when it is cold. Then I get a little more distance out of something like a DT SoLo.

I also don't have too much pride to pull out an old ball when I play our hole that has the island green (except in the money games). My son says that puts negative thoughts in my mind. Could be but at least it doesn't put a new ball in the water.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
