Chrome soft for me. I can't hit titties (Titleists) worth crap. As someone said earlier, too much spin for me

Tittyliest Pro V's ...lol. I'm stealing that.

The average player should probably be playing a lower compression ball anyway rather than a premium ball. Other than feel, I'm not sure it even matters much to a guy swinging it 85-90 mph and hitting it off center.

Last time I was on a monitor, I was about 106-108 and there are times when I question what the ball is really doing for me.

I don't think the ball is the problem with my game lol

I really notice it on chipping. And I can’t not have it chipping now that I feel it

Yeah, There's definitely a difference in the way the ball reacts on the green from 60 yards in. They also have different feels of the putter.

Today’s premium balls have multi layers. Soft enough covers for lower swing speeds and firmer layers for faster swings.

Callaway, Titleist, Bridgestone, Taylormade all incorporate this. Unless your swing speed with a driver is under 80 mph, “low compression “ balls don’t help.

And while it isn’t much, I always stock up this time of year. I’ll buy last year’s model for $39.99 instead of $47.99. Buying them at a military course saves taxes too.

I just picked up some 'practice' TP5s for $17.98/doz

Every time I buy practice prov1s, I crack the outer layer way earlier than normal. Sometimes first round

They look perfectly fine. A smudge on the logo maybe or a very small blemish. We'll see if they last

It'll be interesting to see how long after surgery I'll have to wait to golf. Probably won't be using the push cart for awhile.

Interesting swing

Justin Thomas needs to lay off the USGA about the rules infraction yesterday. That penalty was enforced by the PGA Tour, not the USGA.

Also...Sergio...........Grow the F up!

[peaygolf]

Sergio was DQ'd for "damaging greens" in Saudi Arabia Tourney.

Got out for the first time this year. Rough around lol

Atleast you're out.....It'll get better......I'm going under the knife again for 2nd spinal fusion on Wed.

Good luck. I have ankle surgery March 1st. I'll be out for awhile.

Back to being a loser again for Sergio.

@YankeeVol and @peaygolf. Luck to both of you on surgery and recovery. I would say that you 2 will be off the course for awhile.

Thanks. Im guessing at least a few months.

Thanks. About 2/3 months based on last fusion.

Better than I thought. My spine is slowly getting fused by old age and arthritis. I have read that once arthritis fuses vertebrae together, that you have less chance of injury because your range of motion is less. My neck already has 2 pair fused together by arthritis, but my neck still hurts pretty bad.
