MGS...again.

“Straightest hitter in golf” is quite a statement.
Is he also a “short game wizard?”

He must be pants at putting.
Imagine 2000 rounds of golf and not losing a ball.

A golfer that hasn’t lost a ball in 2 years. Has he been in contact with Guinness Book of records?

Even if didn’t play golf for 2 years I’d somehow manage to lose a ball

Apparently, he got one stuck in the windmill last week but managed to get it out. 😉

The old windmill hole has ruined many a round

I find it odd that Callaway don't have their own ball factory. They bought Spalding (topflight) in order to have a ball facility.

Stop talking sense man and join in the piss taking

Sorry. I stand corrected.

 

[USER1999]

So how the heck do you make a ball with the core not in the middle? It doesn't take much in the way of tooling to get it right. Why would you not bother making the tooling correctly? Tooling is tooling, whether right, or wrong, it costs the same.

Obviously not off 12. That or he putts like Stevie Wonder. I agree and call BS though because every player makes a mistake, short or not. Even our old boys who hit 150 yards low and straight will nobble one somewhere and lose at least one ball in 2 years

Well you guys know best

They haven't released all their info yet but in their podcast vid they talked about companies using other people's balls with their own logo they also said they have cut open balls and found non centred cores, found cores with metal in them.

This was beng pointed at those companies who don't have full control of their manufacturing and only 3 do and it's not Taylormade or Callaway.

They also cut open a box of a dozen balls and found they all had different cores, that's s box stamped as being a dozen "x" make balls.

In summary, buy anything other than Titleist/Srixon or Bridgestone you're likely to have inconsistent balls (oh err missus)

Titleist have full control of their ball manufacturing, but buy a Titleist wood or hybrid and the sticker obn the shaft will, if I remember correctly, tell you that the head and shaft are made in China.

So is it so important to have full control over your ball manufacturing or could that be outsourced?

 

[USER1999]

How far down the line is full control. I bet Titleist don't make their own rubber compound. They probably specify it, but I doubt they make it themselves.

Exactly this.

In any case having full control of QA/QC doesn’t mean you must have a better quality product. It just means you are more responsible for quality , be that good or bad.

Sorry to derail the thread from deciding whether hackers like me should use anything other than Sports Direct Dunlop’s 😆

I lost one on Saturday in the car park when it fell out of my bag.

I worked for a company making copper tube , we had full control over all processing.
Some of the things that were passed as ok were abysmal.
So much so that I wouldn’t put it in my extension when building it.
Full control dosnt mean anything.

It’s like Masterchef when they try Scotch Eggs.

But seriously, are the having to half shells the bake/glue together or are the putting core into a liquid which then turns solid? I imagine this to be one of the harder steps in building a ball.

 

[Slime]

Plays 2/3 times a week, straightest hitter in golf, no sure what all this has to do with MGS and companies saying they produce balls when they don't as we seem to have digressed somewhat.

He must be related to Moe Norman!
Or, maybe he uses these?
