I was just wondering, how much distance does each golf ball add to you distance in terms of yards, say for example a pro v1 compared to a nike ball or a dunlop titanium etc?

If the golf balls really added to your distance as they claim they do, we'd all be driving par-5s with regularity.

Play a ball with good feel around the green. To make that more specific, get a used one or two and chip and putt with them around a practice green. When you have one that feels good, use those. Whatever extra distance you'd gain from a rock isn't worth the problems encountered when you aren't confident and feeling good on chipping and putting.

It depends on your swing speed. I hit about 85 mph, and had been playing pro v1s for a while, then I switched to the DT SoLo (lower compression) and added 10-15 yards. Its still got a soft feel around the greens and feels decent at putting, pro v1 is my favorite ball for pulling though, can't beat the urethane cover for feel.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      12 July 25 - Got invited to a Sat morning round with some friends.  Was a decent round - sort of a pre-tournament round for the 1st of Aug.  Best play of the day - lost ball off the tee on 7.  Took the drop, hit 3rd onto the green, missed the par putt by 3 inches short - middle of cup.  Was a good bogie recovery.  Learned a valuable lesson - the wedge is your friend, the collars on the greens are just long enough that they kill the putter (unless you hammer it).  Back to more of those nice chip and roll drills. &nbsp

      Day 1: 7/12/25 exactly 60 minutes of chipping practice. Unlikely to be able to practice very much but sure had a blast today!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Didn't score better, but made better swings on the course today. I found a bit of success on range pre-round, just hitting like what felt like 60-70% shots. It was more right elbow and right wrist angles in the downswing. Driver took a bit to work out the giant toe push draws I was hitting.

      The TST Member Tournament Play Thread

      Played in the first round of Shawnee Hills  course tournament. went 42+46. Just lost energy on the back nine.  Lots of pars and way too many big scores. Course has a lot of areas to lose a golf ball. This is the adjusted score.  I had to return to the tee twice. The first the guy I played with didn’t tell me my ball bounced into the trees behind the green. 😡 the 2nd one I hit a decent draw over the corner of a slight dog leg left. I didn’t know 15-20 yards from the fairways was nasty weeds. I also 4 putted and 3 putted a few times. I flubbed like two chips. Too long of backswing.  I was happy with my ball striking. Probably B-. Found a bit of something on the range before the round. I’m starting to actually feel my right arm position better with what I am working on. I striped some irons today.
