Hey guys, I ran across this deal earlier this morning. I figured I would share it since this is a 2 dozen for $33.00 deal, which is pretty good considering the ball. The downfall is that the balls are yellow, so that's obviously a turn-off for those who prefer traditional white.

To my knowledge from those I know who have played the ball, this plays similar to the Tour i(S).

You rule.  That is my favorite ball.  4 piece with urethane cover.  I have compared it to several premium balls on a launch monitor and it is the same.  Around the green I like the feel and  I can make them spin as well as any ball.

Last year my wife bought the yellow by mistake and I was not feeling it.  After I played with them I realized it is a good thing.

Easier to find, when you get to the fairway or the green it is obvious which ball is yours.  It actually annoys me when someone else plays with a yellow ball.  For some reason it annoys some other golfers, never bad in competition.  I just ordered a 2 year supply.

Thanks for pointing them out.  In my mind I just bought a premium $40+ or $3.33 per ball  for $15 or $1.25 per ball.

I bought a boatload.

Same here. I never tried the ball, but the price was low enough to give it a shot. I'm not typically a fan of yellow, but I can look beyond that to try them out.

I think they're actually estimated to be delivered today as well.

Did you get a chance to play with them yet?

Unfortunately, I did not. I will need to wait until the coming weekend now since this past weekend was washed out, literally. The courses were sending out "Don't worry, we're open!" notices to local golfers, but a buddy of mine told me they were literally plugging every fairway and green, so it was a waste of time and money.

I do like the way it feels off of my putter though. I was putting on my mat that I have inside (cheap one with an auto-return). It definitely has a nice soft and responsive "feel", comparable to the NXT Tour off the putter for me at least. I'm sure I'll enjoy it and regret not buying more!

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
