Dunlop DP1-V3

[Craigg]

Picked a dozen of these up yesterday for £15.00. What a ball for the price. Dunlop or not I won't be gaming anything else. £1.25 for a quality 3 piece ball. Stops lovely on the greens and feels soft off the face. I'll put up with the "Dunlop" stigma.

Anyone who "games" any kind of ball deserves some kind of stigma.

Yes, ordered them online with a couple of other bits. Had the parcel delivered to my local store and got a £5.00 voucher for my troubles. Result.

It's an American saying thats awful IMO

No one "games" anything

You play something or use something

It's just awful Americanism !

Gotcha, must be my New York roots.

Dunlop have a bad press, but they do produce some good stuff!

I used to use the ddh. £6 a dozen. Can't go wrond as a high handicapper that has a high chance of finding a lake in the sahara!!

I would argue that "I play Dunlop balls" is almost exactly the same as games. The only acceptable word is "use"

I'd take an Americanism over your complete disregard for full stops...

Not that it is an Americanism, as the word game is indeed acceptable as a verb in English.

So let's all play nice with our Dunlop balls.

Love these!

Swapped over to them from Srixon AD333 lakeballs last year, could be pure coincidence but seem to get more spin with these than any other budget ball I've used.

Plus there's something nice about playing with a new ball, if you keep an eye out on eBay you can often pick them up for less that £15

Will certainly give them a try once I start getting low on ammo.
They will have to be good to replace my current choice.....Callaway SuperSoft.

 

[drewster]

So where did you pick them up for £15 ?? Please divulge.

Have a look on Amazon


Ooops. Sorry, that's plus delivery.

There is of course postage to go on unless you're ordering £50.00 worth of clobber. Get it all delivered to your local store and you get a £5.00 voucher when you collect the parcel. It's a no brainer for me as I pass my local store most days in the company van so no cost involved in collecting. Different I guess if you have to use your own fuel and car park charges. Not worth the fiver voucher then, might as well get the parcel delivered to your home.

Hi - I've been playing the Dunlop NZ9 v3's which are £9.99 per dozen and I love these. I wonder though how they compare to the DP1-v3?

Haven't tried those but would imagine the ionomer cover would be a lot harder than the urethane cover of the DP1-V3

 

[Chrisb83]

The NZ9 is alright but compared to the dp1 it's like hitting a rock

But not in the context used.

Yes they do. The Srixon Z-Star for example.

The DP1-V3 is a great ball but at £19.99 and an improvement on the original DP1.

To me it is a tad overpriced when there are regular bargains on other balls allowing them to be picked up in the £15-£25 bracket. On saying that the supply is limited for these other bargains so if you can't afford to buy in bulk and want regular supply of a quality ball the Dunlop is hard to beat.

£15 they are a no brainer. Much nicer than any of the £15 mid range balls available. Surprisingly durable and you do feel the difference a urethane cover can make.
