I found these at Sports Authority for $10 for 15 balls.. I was surprised at the price for a 3 piece balls so decided to buy 1 box to try them out. Now i'm a high handiap(17) and have only been golfing for a year. The balls that i've ever used are the ones i've found around the course so i'm not a ball expert or even a novice! Im a golfer on a budget and hate to buying new balls just because of how expensive they are! So for $10 i might as well give these a shot.

Off the tee these things go straight! I usually hit a fade and sometimes a slice! My fade has turned straight and my slice has turned to a slight fade.. With approach shots these can spin. They usually stop within in a feet from my divot. I even had one spin backwards on me with my 8 iron. As far as durability I was able to play one ball with 1 round with a little scuff on them. So their pretty durable. I liked them so much ended buying 3 more boxes of these! For $10 why not right??

The guy I play with most showed up yesterday with a box of the TA 845 Tour Distance. Because of the low price he decided to give them a try. He shot his low round of 2013 with that ball and was talking about how much he liked it after just a few holes. Not sure what worked for him but he played good yesterday. Really don't have to spend a lot to find a decent ball. I usually play the NXT Tour S but recently made the switch to the cheaper Titleist Velocity.

I usually play with Srixon balls (AD-333 or Soft Feel), but on a lark I bought a few boxes of these EVO balls, on sale for $7.98 for a box of 18 at Sports Authority. I'm age 64 with a 19 handicap. I look at these balls the same as private label tires for your car/truck or private label items at the grocery store. Sure the quality is not as high as Titleist, Callaway or Bridgestone, but they offer a great value.

They have a nice feel off the Ping G20 irons I play and a nice click off my Slotline TSP8 putter. Of course they won't spin on the green like an expensive ball. To each his own, but I can buy 8 dozen of these for the cost of one dozen Pro V1's

      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.

      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?
