  1. I went to Dicks Sporting Goods yesterday and spoke to the guy there. We looked at a few golf balls and I hit 1 ball in the simulator with a 7-iron (I believe it was) and it showed the ball speed of 110MPH. That was the main number I remember seeing and the one he spoke about the most. again, I only hit once because he asked me to in order to get an idea of the type of ball that would be best. He said a lower compression ball and/or something with low spin. They had 2012's Titleist ProV1X on sale for $35.00 so I ended up buying those. I have no idea if that ball speed number is good, bad, average, or terrible but that's what the screen showed. maybe yall know more about whether it's decent or not??
  2. I recently went to Gulf Shores, AL this summer with family for vacation and played at Craft Farms. The 3 of us playing were very impressed!
  3. I actually think I'm gonna buy Callaway HEX Chrome+ and give it a try. It's obviously a step up from the cheapies I've been using but without spending a fortune on golf balls.
  4. Thanks for the responses. I usually shoot a low to mid 90's...again I'm just starting to get serious about this. I keep reading reviews of the Titleist ProV1X that says its good for beginners because it has less spin off the tee helping with straighter tee shots and that it'll add distance to the drive. But I also used this "golf ball fitter" that I found online and plugged in my info and it recommended Nike Mojo Golf Balls. Anyone ever use these??
  5. I am new to the forum and just trying to get opinions on golf balls and whether or not they honestly make a difference in play? Just some background info, I'm not great and frankly have no idea what my "handicap" is or how to even calculate it! I play for fun with my brother-in-law and father-in-law; however, that doesn't mean I'm not competitive and want to get better. This is my first full year of playing golf on a very regular basis, taking lessons, swing anaylsis, etc. My question, is whether or not it's worth it for me to spend the money to play Titleist ProV1X golf balls and if I would even notice the slightest difference in any aspect of my round of golf? I've been playing with TopFlite D2+ Distance since they are cheap at the sporting goods store I use. I don't notice anything special about these balls so was contemplating using the more expensive ball but before I spend $50 on 12 balls, is it worth it??? Thanks!!
