Anybody have an opinion (good or bad) on this ball?

I picked up a few freebies that had Dick's Sporting Goods logos on them last week at a fund-raising tournament and played one yesterday for the first time. I really liked it – felt great off the club face and seemed to spin really well on the greens, and it was still in real good shape when the round was over.

It's in the price range (about $30 for a dozen) that I don't mind paying for balls. Once I get into the 40s per dozen, I start worrying about not losing them and I believe that has a negative effect on my game.

@ditchparrot19 ,

Your opinion is as good as anyone else's.  Play them for a while and let us know how you like them.  If you wrote a review in the Equipment section, that would be really helpful.

Right now Dicks has then on sale for $40 for 2 dozen.  I have been playing them this season and they are excellent balls, very long, good feel, good around the greens, and very durable.  Right now they are sharing my bag with the TM Project (a) which has somewhat more spin (for my swing) around the greens but does not have quite the length of the U/3 (85-90 SS).

The U/3's are a terrific offering at a great price - I have had some great rounds playing them.

Yeah, I just bought three dozen online from Dick's (it was presented as a buy two dozen, get one dozen free deal). Played a 9-hole round with one this evening and am still loving them -- really impressed with the spin on short pitches.

The Dick's here had U/3 on clearance for $16 a dozen and then had an additional promotion for buy 2 get 1 free so I got 36 of these things for $32.  I've been playing them all year so far and can't complain.  I picked up a box of U/4 that were on clearance for $20 as well and couldn't tell any difference between those and the U/3 so as far as I'm concerned stick with the U/3s.

So did I.....got the last 3 doz in last years packaging just before the new boxes came out....$15/doz plus buy two get one so I got 3 doz for $30! However, I am behind on my golf balls and have not yet played them. Plan on using them this summer. Been gaming e6; B330RXS; U4x.

Man, you guys got a lot better deals than I did!

I'm happy with my purchase, though -- will under $2 apiece for a ball I really like.

      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?
