Yeah, well I’m sure you sucked and were a sandbagger of epic proportions.Experimented for a while with the interlocking, but it got increasingly uncomfortable the better I played. Lost lots of power/distance playing it too long. Switched to Vardon and never looked back. I played a power draw for years during my competition days, but learned how to hit a fade after being humbled by small, elevated & well guarded fairways and greens.
When we got back home, I watched the finish of the Women’s Open. I can’t say that I’ve ever been a great fan of the ladies, but I find that I really enjoy seeing the courses over in England / Great Britain regardless of who’s playing.
I just can’t bring myself to keep a top flight. Just can’t.The only thing on the list that I take issue with is the variety of golf balls in the bag. Those are some decent balls but only 1 range ball and ZERO of those old school, rock hard Top Flites?
Rock Flites. I swear I believe when I got my first metal driver and hit a Top Flite, you could see sparks fly off the club face.I just can’t bring myself to keep a top flight. Just can’t.
My preferred ball is a Titleist AVX. it like a Calloway Chrome Soft but better.Rock Flites. I swear I believe when I got my first metal driver and hit a Top Flite, you could see sparks fly off the club face.
Which brings me to a question for anybody that uses a low compression or “soft” distance ball…which one do you prefer? Anybody have any experience with Srixon’s soft distance ball?
Rock Flites.
Vice Pro suck Donkey’s balls. Just horrible.I found a Calloway SuperSoft in the rough, and I was have a crappy round so I started hitting it for fun (it was one of those crazy red ones). I boomed a few drives with that thing so I bought a sleeve and played a couple rounds just to experiment with them. It comes off the clubface like a rocket and feels like butter, but its hard to control it around the greens. Not enough spin for me. That being said there are plenty of balls that spin too much for my taste too...I hate hitting shots that land pin high and watch the ball suck back off the front of the green. But also I don't have enough confidence to intentionally hit it to the back so it rolls back to the pin. Always worried about it staying back there and leaving a big downhill putt since most of the greens around here slope from back to front.
I play the Vice Pro, it doesn't spin as much on the greens as a TP-5 or ProV1, but it holds really well. Stops where it lands for the most part. For less than 30 bucks a box I'm pretty happy with them.
I’ll go a step further and say that the absolute best feel ever was a balata ball well struck by a persimmon driver or other wood. I had a Nicklaus Muirfield persimmon driver and 4 wood and a Titleist 100 or 90 was absolute butter!Balata was da bomb. Nothing compares.
