You can tell a difference
July 9, 2020
I've always been a mixed ball, play what I have, play what I find golfer. This year I decided to try some decent balls and see if I really could tell the difference. The truth is I actually could. I did some research to match my swing speed for compression and flight path and tried to match it to a recommended ball. Maybe its just improved confidence or faith they'll work better, but I doubt it. I've seen a lot of people play balls the pros use who aren't even close in the same swing speed. They're actually losing distance and feel. Even chipping these balls, I can feel the difference. When they're on sale, they're worth every penny.
Pros
- Good feel when you get a good swing and even when chipping.
- I do get some check-up when using wedge approach shots. Those playing with me even noticed.
Cons
- The cover will scuff easier than the cheapos, but the reward is greater then the downside.
