Golf Balls (2)

What we've got here is a plethora of assorted Precept golf balls. I've always like the Precept golf balls. A few years back, it was all the rage to play the lady's Precept ball. It is called the Laddie. I don't think the Laddie is included in this ...

This Burner TP (Tour Preferred) golf ball is a great middle-of-the-road golf ball. TaylorMade, in all their wisdom, came up with an economy version of their premium golf balls, the TP Black and the TP Red.

These Burner TPs are primarily a distance ball. They have an "HPF 1000 SpeedMantle169" ...

These Titleist Tour Prestige Golf Balls are "fair to midlin'," as my grandpappy used to say. I'm pretty sure that means average.

These balls are a few years old. This is a softer ball when compared with your typical distance balls like your Pinnacles and your Top Flites. It ...

Pinnacle makes no excuses for their low-cost golf balls. Actually, they have a good niche in the distance ball market. My father plays these balls almost exclusively. He is a twenty-five handicapper and plays from the white tees. The reason he likes Pinnacle golf balls is because they ...

I really haven't seen Slazenger balls around that much anymore. It would appear this brand has lost some steam. "Mix" deals come with a mix of Slazenger balls, some of which are "discontinued but well sought after." Excuse me? Isn't that a contradiction in terms? I would understand ...

The Maxfli Noodle has a special place in my heart. I used to work in the headquarters for a restaurant called Noodles & Company. (It's a global noodle concept… Great food, too. Tell them Robert sent you and you'll receive a free Mac and Cheese. ...

Here's a funky-looking ball. I remember the first time I found one of these transparent Volvik balls in the hazard. It looked so strange, I wasn't sure if it was legal (but it is).

This particular model is sky blue. It looks like ice to me. I'm afraid ...

This ball has "Feel" written directly on the ball where the alignment aid is located. It must have great feel then, right?  "Survey says……X."

Pinnacle makes a distance ball. They are good at making distance balls. Please don't mess with that.

This Platinum Feel ball has a large core ...

The Callaway HX Blue's secret is hexagonal! Whoa, cool!

This work of science uses a "criss-crossing network of tube-like projections that form hexagonal and pentagonal patterns around the golf ball." I slept through most of my science classes but I do know that a "pentagon" is a five-sided polygon (and/or where ...

Don't touch these balls. THEY'RE HOT! "…drop it likes it hot... drop it like its hot…"

This is the Callaway CX3. I believe it is called that because of the 3-piece construction. It has a firm ionomer cover and a 350 dimple design. (Did I ...

"Hey Popeye! How's your spin-nage?"

This is what you need to ask yourself when looking at this golf ball. One of TaylorMade's premium golf balls, the Taylor Made TP Black has more spin than the TP Red. Both balls are designed for lower handicappers with high swing speeds.

This ...

"To spin or not to spin?" That is the question.

Check out these TaylorMade TP Reds. This is one of TalylorMade's premium golf balls designed for lower handicappers with high swing speeds. This ball is a multilayer ball with four pieces, a soft core, two mantle layers, and a ...

Please sing it with me:   "She's a very kinky (golf ball)... The kind you don't take home to Mother..."

That's right, I'm singing that old '80s classic Super Freak by Rick James. This Top Flite Freak Ball will have you singing the same song if you catch it on ...

I have a question for you: What' the most important thing in your golf bag? (I'm talking about before you put in your cell phone and car keys.) I'll give you a hint… You use it on every single shot.

That's right. It's your golf ball, ...

"Hey, Bubba?"

"Yeah, Skeeter?"

"...'Dis ball done got hexagons on it."

"What's a hexagon, Skeeter?"

"Tain't sure, Bubba, but it sharr makes this ball go super fur, I reckon!"

The Callaway HX Hot golf ball does go far and long due to its "revolutionary" HEX Aerodynamics. (I suppose it was a bit more "revolutionary" when ...

Hey, I remember these balls. I remember telling my buddies, "I got my MOJO working today." I believe they were big a few years ago. Of course, golf ball technology has come a long way since then.

This ball is a rock-hard distance ball. I would compare it ...

Remember that old '70s classic "Smokey and the Bandit?"

Sing it with me: "We got a long way to go and a short time to get there..." "Breaker one nine... Breaker one nine... This har is the Bandit… You see any smokeys up thar??"

I've reviewed many golf balls, but this one ...

I love it! When Tiger started playing, it definitely encouraged younger players to begin learning the game of golf -- but this is almost ridiculous, isn't it? But again... I love it!

Why not have the kids come out and learn the game and enjoy it with Mom and Dad? ...

Have you seen these Nike Tour Accuracy DD balls? No, the DD isn't for durable or distance. It's for David Duval. "Who is David Duval?" you ask. I'm not sure either!

I'm just kidding. David Duval made a name for himself back in the late ...

What do we get Dad? Tie. Nah, too many already. Sweater. He always takes them back -- no clothes! Something electronic. This is Dad, remember? Right. Something with golf? What is there that's left?

I have it, guys. The Victorinox Swiss ...

What golf ball should I play? There are only 4000 to chose from, right? And they range in price from a few dollars to several dollars. Let's take a look at one of the leaders in this industry.

These Nike One Black golf balls are pretty cool. It's ...

The golf ball competition is fierce. Just watch a PGA golf tournament on Sunday, and you'll see commercial after commercial with top tour pros touting their favorite balls. Just remember folks: these guys are getting thousands of dollars from the companies they represent to play those golf balls.

This ...

Titleist has always led the golf ball industry. Thanks to Tiger, Nike has done a good job of chasing them, but Titleist still rules the roost.

I've played these Titleist NXT balls a lot. Let's take a look at them:

This is a solid core ball, with a Fusablend cover. It's ...

It's not the prettiest or coolest looking item in the world, but let's just say this:

It's a conversation piece.

The History of Golf Balls Clock is literally what it sounds like: a desk clock in (what looks to be) a cherry wood finish with analog movement and Roman numeral numbers. ...

I'm not really a huge golf geek. I just play one on the internet! That's why I've got to have this Deluxe 25-ball Golf Ball Cabinet. Actually, I think I need at least three of ‘em. What else am I going to use to fill the ...

Freddy Couples is the man! He's Mr. Cool, with the silky smooth tempo and the "I couldn't care less" attitude. He's the Bridgestone poster boy, and is also why I tried these Bridgestone Tour 330s.

It's a great ball design for low handicappers with fast swing speeds. ...

Don't let the name dupe you. Used golf balls are one thing; Titleist ProV1's are something else. These are great golf balls. Honestly. Good construction, great feel, wonderful to putt.

But I would keep looking. I'm attacking value here, and attacking it pretty hard. If ...

I personally love to play Titleist NXT Tours. These, for me, have felt identical to the Pro V1's and I simply love the way they feel on the green. I know, I know, there are many out there in the world who could tell the difference, but this ...

Man, I love these Titleist PRO V1 golf balls. I have since the first time I played with them. If you play much at all and you have a high swing speed, then you probably feel the same way. You already know that the Pro V1 is awesome ...

As usual I'm late to check in for my tee time, and I'm rushing to meet the guys on the first tee. To make matters worse, I know I'm just about out of golf balls, thus I'll need to pick up some at the pro shop. Of ...

The Dunlop Sport 408-DI Golf Ball is a relatively simple golf ball for those who want a quality ball at a relatively low price.

It offers your typical, run-of-the-mill two-piece design with a slightly larger core than many golf balls in the same price range. It also has a low dimple ...
