I disagree that you disagree Paul
It’s all well & good disagreeing with Pauls disagreement of your initial disagreement and observations but to disagree needs more clarity rather than a simple disagreeing of a disagreement, do you agree 🤔😳

I agree, it's hilarious watching mid to high handicap chompers blowing premium balls out of bounds and/or losing them.
I'm happy with my Dunlop loco's

Good as they are I had to stop playing these, stood over the ball I always had this overwhelming urge to burst into song...

My favourite ball was the Nike PD Soft. I loved the way it felt off the face of the putter and driver... stopped playing it when I was told for my swing speed I needed something firmer. Shame really, maybe I need to go back to them (if I can find any!) and see if there really is any difference?

One of the things to think about when comparing ball distance is the distance through the air, rather than total distance. If you take the former there is probably very little difference but if you factor in the latter there is probably lots of difference.
I remember trialling all the TopFlite Infinity range and the overall distance difference between the High Spin and the distance versions with a ball landing at the front of the green was nearly the full length of the green

Let me think about this and I'll let you know if I agree or disagree :thup:

I'm not very consistent with strike. My distances vary far more because of strike than because of the type of ball I use. Consequently I use lakeballs. I pay a little extra for better quality lake balls. But I'd rather save money on balls, and spend a bit more on practise/lessons to sort out consistency of strike.
My favourite ball was the old Taylormade TP black which I did think gave me a few extra yards. Probably in the head as I loved the feeling off the club face. I'd love to see someone do a subjective test and give a handicap golfer loads of different balls (markings hidden) and doing a blind test

I'm nit sure I've noticed a major difference in difference with any particular brand of ball but I have gravitated towards Callaway as I just feel comfortable with them. I'm coming to the end of my Hex Chrome and am going to play Chrome Soft this year. All balls were bought at bargain prices though. I like Pro V1 but wouldn't pay the money they ask for them.

I don't understand this attitude that you have to be a single figure or scratch player to tell a difference between balls. Give me 10 shots with brand a and ten with brand b and I'll quickly tell you which one
goes further, its not rocket science!
