Switching GOLF balls

[JEFF4i]

I'm playing a free 2 pack of those...nice ball!!

I was actually shocked. I tried one sleeve in response to my own thread, really liked it, and having been using them since. Hard to beat a 3 piece ball for 20 dollars that doesn't get beat up too easily.

How do they spin? FAir enough? I'm quite interested to know...

Less than a NXT Tour, more than a ProV1X.

The reason I like them is that they aren't crazy on spin, I was occasionally getting problems with the Y-Cutters on my 52 and 56, backing it up as much as 20 feet on full swings.

I do admit, for someone who generally uses whatever ball is there, I am happy to be able to spend 20 dollars a box, and play the same ball every round now.

The ProV1x spins more than the NXT tour, according to that Golf Mag testing.

Or so I thought?

Eh, maybe I got it bass ackwards.

Same here, perhaps Jeff is a little confused.

Wouldn't be the first time, I don't generally use Titleist balls.

I meant it the other way around.

I don't generally use Titleist balls.

Neither do I. Recently switched to the B-330 and really like it. Have been playing lousy lately and was playing a really tight, deep fescue everywhere, course. Lost a B-330 into a hazard on the 4th hole. Reached into my bag and grabbed a Pro V1x that I found on the first hole, whacked it up on green and made a long putt for par. So I kept it in play as I didn't want to lose any more B-330s.

Long story short, bogeyed two of the next three and then caught fire and shot 69. (I was a 7.1 index at the start of the round). Lifetime low for a course over 7000 yards.

I posted on here recently that I almost always shoot within three of 80. Consistent 77 to 83. Close to 20 rounds in a row. Shot 92 last Sunday and 69 today. This is a stupid game. Fun, but stupid.

Played two rounds with the Callaway i-Tours this week and going out for the third today. So far I like the Callaway Hot Bite better, it gives me the same distance and feels better off the putter.

Those Zip balls were great off my irons, straight and long but I really didn't like the way the putted. They felt strange off the face and the weird dimple design played with my head when I was really focused on the ball while putting.

I dont blame ya. Like I said, I used to be bigtime into Titleist, but Ive found that there are other brands that work just as well and are considerably less expensive.
Like I said, someone has to pay for their advertising budget and to keep the investors at Fortune Brands happy.
Yesterday after work I played a quick 9 holes at a little par 3 course and I played a Titleist DT Carry. Nice ball, good spin and it putts well, but why would I buy DT Carrys when they cost over twice as much as Laddie-Xs? ($24 for a dozen DT Carrys vs $19 for 2 dozen Laddie-Xs)
