Dunlop DDH Golf Ball

[Diamond]

Nine 2nd hand multi coloured golf balls arrived today from eBay (Ordered before lockdown when the weather was icey)
One of them is blue and a Dunlop DDH. As I am bored and won’t get the chance to use it any time soon does anyone have any experience with these balls and what your opinion of them is. I am a very high handicapper and Tend to play with soft Srixons, Callaway soft or the odd Wilson Staff.

And blue ones vanish. You wouldn't believe it, but they do.

If you balls are blue you need to warm them up

The DDH was the most expensive golf ball of its time, come in a little box wrapped in tissue paper. It was to expensive to loose on the first hit at my local then.

My first set of golf clubs were a package set of Dunlop DDH! Class! (probably not really but I loved them)

If its the circa 2010 DDH ball it'll be something close to a slazenger of modern times Id imagine!

DDH name has been used for different balls in Dunlop's range over the (many) years.
These days (and when I used them - in 1990s from memory) it's a low-tech distance oriented rock!
Srixon Distance achieves 'similar' with 'a lot more feel' - for me at least.

I played about a month ago lost a ball and pulled out a Srixon distance. Hit it with me driver and I thought I had broke me wrists. It sounded like I had hit a cricket ball. That’s not happening again.

Arh. The dublop DDH. which stands for "Dead Dead Hard"

Turns any man's driver into a tuning folk

I found one when out playing a couple of weeks ago, and having lost the ball I was playing, popped the DDH on the tee.

It went a long way, as others have said, it was something like a pebble, however, I at least have something positive to say about it.

Certainly not the feel I get with them, though covered by the last 4 words of my post. The weird ball, for me, in the Srixon range, is (was) the AD333 Soft Feel...Noticeably shorter with Driver; 1 to 2 clubs longer with irons; horrible to putt with!

 

[Hammertoe]

They still make these??

 

[Imurg]

They still make these??

Doesn't matter..they take 3 billion years to degrade..

Not as hard as a Top Flite though. You can keep your DDH. I prefer a Mollitor or a Pinnacle Gold.

That's two different balls.

I was waiting for someone to say this.

Like many good things, the money minds got their fingers into it and drove out the quality in chasing profits.

At the moment me head is all over the place with balls. My usual ball was Ad 333 especially the tour. I then went onto Trusoft. Then I had a very good round with a Pro V1 so stuck with them for a bit. Then I found a Mizuno. I had already given a few away and gave it a go. Don’t ask me why but I now love the Mizuno ( 566 I think). Lovely ball off the face and when I hit it well It really does go well. It really is a good all round ball.

So when you have a good round with a ball it must be a good ball? Haha, I've fallen into that same trap before.
