My swing speed is about 95 to 100 mph on a good day with my driver. I just learned that if you have a slower swing speed then certain balls can help you out. I picked up some top flight gamer balls today is this a good ball for me, maybe a little added distance, straighter, less spin? I was thinking about also trying the nike crush balls as they are supposed to also be for slower swing speeds. Thought?

I've not played the TF Gamer so can't comment on how they perform. I can say, though, that they get a decent amount of mention here to the extent that I'm considering trying them out. Seem to be a lot of fans. I used to play the TopFlight XL2000 years ago and really liked them. I'm still a high handicapper but heading in the right direction. With the amount of balls I put in the drink or woods each round, I can't justify the ProV's or other high ticket balls - besides, my game isn't strong enough to really capitalize on their benefits. Do a search here on the Gamer and you'll get a lot of good info. Hit 'em well.

Driver- :nike: Nike VR-Pro Limited Edition 9.5* Diamana 'ahina Stiff Flex 3 Wood- :titleist: Titleist 980 5 Wood- :tmade: Taylormade R9 3i-PW- :tmade: Taylormade Tour Preferred (Dynamic Gold S300) Putter- :tarmour: Tommy Armour T-Line 150 (it's old but I love it and haven't been able to find anything that feels better)

Well for anyone wondering about these balls I played 2 rounds this week with them and I usually play with pro v1s and I really couldn't tell the difference. I got good distance and around the greens they felt good.

Good deal.  Any time you find a ball that's well suited to your particular game for less money, you're doing well!

I have similar swing speed as you and am currently playing Crush+.   Distance is ok, ball trajectory seems to be middle, spin seems to be minimal (could be good or bad for your style).   In short, it is an OK ball and I don't mind playing it.

I played Gamer before and it was "ok," too.   Nothing stuck out, either bad or good for my game.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
