golfball longevity

[Crow]

21 rounds! Don't you have out of bounds or water on your course?

I can't remember keeping a ball for even three rounds without losing it.

 

[brendy]

Beginning to think that brendy! I only hit a 7 iron 150 not the 170/180 I've seen on here!

Do you only hit a 7 iron though?

 

[Bacardibatman]

pro v1 = 1 round + if i lose one i'll use a 1 round one to finish the round then it goes for practice

 

[splashtryagain]

Crow - plenty ob but not so much water as its a linksy course.
Brendy - guess I meant to say can't really rip a wedge can only get a couple of feet buckskin on full wedge shots so probably not causing as much damage as the likes of you or feary. Must cost a fortune in balls ripping it like that!?

 

[USER1999]

A couple of rounds, then into the practice bag. They probably still perform, but I like playing with a shiny ball, not some scuffed up rubbish.

Surely the shine of the new ball is lost in the dazzle of that days colourful ensemble

 

[JustOne]

After 21 rounds my ball (prov1x) is a bit knackered but is still playing perfectly

I could lose more balls than that even if I was PUTTING it round! Probably a world record! Do you hit it more than 10 feet?


Scores are needed!!

 

[HickoryShaft]

If you had used a Bridgestone you would have got another dozen rounds.

im still using my dunlop 65i

"Yip, they sure do fly!"

Talk about hanging onto balls for a long time

Was asked to join a 4 ball with a couple of Japanese customers who are golf mad last year. Our sales guy pulled out some old commandos which he had in the bag. I thought it was a joke but it really wasn't!! I hit one just to see how it went and it was like a rock!

Fortunately he lost most of em in the trees which prompted the jibe that as they were commandos they were going for cover. The customers were most amused - the sales guy wasn't!!

 

[upsidedown]

Like most on here start with a newbie and if it makes a bid for freedom use one that lasted a round in captivity .

Cant afford the price of Pro V 's out here so use these guys http://www.golfballs.co.nz/catalog/ same price as new Callaway Hot Bites which is another fav of mine

Are you Scottish??????


I bet you can peel an orange in your pocket too

 

[splashtryagain]

No smiffy not scottish, much worse - yorkshire!! The orange peel makes my pockets smell lovely for a few days then rank for the next month.

 

[Parmo]

lol

My AD333's last about a round or 2 at a push.

 

[Leftie]

After 21 rounds my ball (prov1x ) is a bit knackered but is still playing perfectly, spinning on approach shots and distance off driver not affected. My scoring has actually got better as well.

Proof, if ever it was needed, that the prov1x is a far better choice of ball for most golfers than the prov1, and that some people can't read

 

[richart]

21 rounds with the same golf ball.

 

[Smiffy]

My ball yesterday didn't last 21 seconds, tee shot straight in the pond.

Roll on the 30th
