We are more than halfway through the 2014 season, and I suspect that many of us have compared some of the new 2014 golf ball offerings.  My winner is the Maxfli U/3 which for me is incredibly long, durable, and can still hold the green.  Honorable Mention goes to the TM Project (a) for its good distance and exceptional handling around the green, and the Gamer Soft for great distance and reasonable green performance for a surlyn covered ball (I have not played it but the Supersoft probably fits this category also).

Any new favorites from the 2014 line up?

Not sure they are new for 2014 ... but Super Soft is leading down the home stretch by a nose ... I like the softer golf balls ... since I count on a bit of roll on the green, I plan for it when selecting my clubs etc ... as an "older" bogey golfer Super Soft is good for me ... but still open minded and will be interested in what other have to say on this topic

I have a set of the supersoft sitting in my basement I haven't gotten to yet but I am excited to try them this weekend.

I still think the Q star is my favorite this year.  I also enjoy the gamer v2 and the bridgestone e5.  I have a box of u/4 but I only have hit a sleeve of them but I think they are not too far behind.


I am too poor/cheap to play any tour balls so I have to find a ball that works in my budget.  Also, I am just now getting to the point where I can put 2 sleeves in my bag and not worry I am going to run out of balls haha

I would say the titleist NXT Tour. I like the feel of this ball of the putter and around the green. It is also straight off the Tee.

I saw Dick's had some Maxfli U/6 for $35 a dozen on sale. Those would probably be the ones I would try first. I remember way back when the Maxfli Blue Dot was my favorite ball. That was 35-40 years ago.

I found and played one of the new Taylormade balls (Tour Preferred I think was the name). It was a solid ball. However, with the Callaway HEX Black Tour going for $25 a dozen at Costco... I don't plan on switching balls until they're sold out

This (and NXT Tour S) were the best ball for me.  It is long for my swing speed (95 mph), and club (regular shaft).

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
