Callaway Investing $50 Million Into Its Ball Plant After ...

 

We've all seen this.   I don't believe you can single out any major ball manufacturer and say in a general statement they are all bad.  I'm sure people have personal preferences and to some degree some are better than others but.. we all hope and pray that the golf balls we purchase will fly a few yard straighter and farther than the previous shot.

My golf buddy purchased 5 dozen recently and has played them the past couple of seasons. Was a real fan. His club pro (new club for him), bashed them and basically all direct to consumer balls like the Snells I usually play. He says the cores are not always centered and that he is losing 15 to 20 yards. 
So now he is trying to unload dozens of vice balls.

A guy who runs a pro shop hates DTC (direct to consumer) golf balls? Go figure!

That has to be of psychosomatic origins. I have hit some of my biggest drives of the year with the Pro Plus and almost think they are 1/4 club longer on the approach irons. But hey, the pro has very limited resale opportunities in his shop but ball shaming is a new one!

    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
