We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!
When myself and Wayne went for our putter fitting we could have had any putter up to £250 pounds.
Mine was £69 and waynes from memory was £99.
We chose putter that were right for us.
You comments show that Titleist didn't really care wether people were getting the right ball for their games.
It was just a brand getting more publicity.
I have played with a few 28 handicappers in my time,and in fact I was one,and I say
that it wouldn't have mattered what ball I played,as I didn't really have a clue what I was doing.
Now I can tell,and feel the difference in a ball.
Fitting wasn't the word word for it, there was no fitting. It was "here is a lot of balls, now go and try chipping them" and see if you can tell the difference.
They do say that all of their balls are for players of all skill levels and that each upgrade in balls adds a little improvement. The facts that the event leader was coming out with were very interesting but when some of their individual fitters were talking to us I believe the truth come out. And that is that a high spinning ball accentuates mis-hits so some people would be better off with cheaper balls.
Sure we can all slice a ball from time to time but it is more frequently for a high handicapper. Hackers like me are more concerned with keeping it straight than getting a 150yd approach to check up and stop a little quicker within 5ft of the pin, although I will again say I could tell the difference from the 6ft chipping with the ProV I was doing on the day.
I've changed back to a srixon AD333 ball as there is just too much spin from top end balls for my liking
As I said before, we will all choose what we are comfortable with and feel confident standing over
