Balls dont larff tho

[DaveM]

I was in sport direct about 2 weeks ago(just down the road from me). Picked up some, wait for it Dunlop tour golf balls £8 for 2 doz. Thought these will be rubbish but ok on the field to practice with(areas of long grass fed up with loosing good balls). Used them 4-5 times now. Suprise suprise. They feel soft from the club face, go along way, plus I got some backspin on them. Really was an eye opener. Ok not a top end ball but for the money very good. Soon as I can I will try them on the course. They could be a good winter option. and at less than 50p a ball you dont mind loosing them to much.

bought them last week, will do for the winter, not larffing

A mate of mine played with one of these on Saturday. He three putted the first 3 greens, til he threw the ball in the woods and got a ProV out. Putted fine after that.

I love it when a company puts the word 'tour' on a load of cheap rubbish though. Does any body use these on tour? I doubt it.

 

[bigslice]

aye but i bet when it landed in the woods there was a bit backspin

 

[DaveM]

Only got them as they were cheap for the practise bag. If they put like that think thats where they will stay.

Like anything in life... you get what you pay for. I do not believe for one minute it is up there with TM Penta and ProV1. At that price would be a great buy for a beginner to loose a dozen a round. But I do not believe for 1 minute that it will perform anything like a premium golf ball or they would be a lot more to buy.

 

[DaveM]

No one has said they are Adey.

Sorry Dave, must have misunderstood you.

I'm on my second box of these balls and I quite like them, best cheap balls I've bought and only about 30p each.

plus I got some backspin on them.

At the moment you should - unless you're Murph - be able to get backspin with a pebble the way most greens are now.
I got 3 feet of backspin from 180 yards with a TopFlite today from my hybrid.

And mostly we're short of the hole so we don't want backspin anyway......

 

[USER1999]

I have swapped back to my zb's, so back spin is back on the menu.

Hussah!!

Don't want you to be left out......

Was wondering if I can get DG spinners for a 4 iron.

 

[Imurg]

Not unless you want a 37 inch 4 iron....

Mind you it could be lengthened a bit.....
