I'm a 68 year old lefty and I play a lot of golf with many different guys that are all Pro V1 250 to 300 yard hitters. What I don't understand is how they can still be 150 to 160 out on 380 yard par 4's... Must be the golf course screwed up in their measurement :-)

I'm a 68 year old lefty with an 80 mph swing speed. My bag is a complete set of Wilson Staff Di9 irons ranging from 5 iron through SW, including the A & G wedges. For driver I have the Wilson Staff Superlight 10.5 with a RL shaft. For the fairway I have the Fybrid RS in a 15* 3 & 18* 5 and the Fybrid 21* 3h; all with regular shafts. I've been playing the 3 piece Tommy Armour 845 Tour Feel for the past year and have found them to be an awesome ball for me and especially for the money. I would rank their feel and preformance somewhere between the Titleist NXT Tour S and the Bridgestone E6 with a feel somewhere between the DT Solo and Noodle's Long and Soft; all of which play. The TA 854 Tour Feel ball is a great ball for duffers like me with a 80 swing speed... The contact sensation I get from the TA 845 Tour Feel ball when I smack it with any of my clubs, from driver to putter, brings a smile to my face as the report tells me instantly if I hit the ball square. My drive airs out about 180 - 190 yds. on average with a normal roll out of about 15 to 20 yards. A major item of importance to me in my golf game and one of the many things I really like about the 845's is they fly straight for me. I have a "Baby" fade that is controllable with them. Very seldom do I have to go off the fairway looking for one of these balls and when I do it is usually because I pulled the ball; hitting it dead straight down the right field line. Don't even know what a hook is except for fishing :-) . Being the short hitter that I am and knowing any Par 4 over 380 yds. is most likely going to be at lease a par 5 for me I like a ball that has some roll out, which the Tour Feel does. But, by the same token for the Par 3's and my 'Short" game I don't have a problem is stopping the ball pretty close to where it lands....the biggest factor for roll out is how high I it the ball to start with and getting the 845's airborne isn't a problem and I'm not a high ball hitter. For putting; i've read other comments about a ball feeling like "Butter" so I will use that terminology too; as that pretty well describes the fell for me. I only have two regrets when it comes to the TA 845 Tour Feel ball and they are: it doesn't come in yellow and it has been discontinued by Sports Authority, who owns the brand.... just glad I bought out their inventory the last time I was in Sarasota, FL.
