Wilson Staff FG Tour Golf Balls

[d1217]

Well what can i say, WOW!!!

these golf balls get great spin, spin similar to a pro v1 i think, hop and stop for irons and bring them back with wedges, and that was on pretty quick greens today, they get good distance, didnt find i lost any over any other, firmer distance balls i have used before, great feel off the putter face, and i found i could check them up quite easily with little chip shots, and i paid 22.99, one i used today has got a couple of grazes from wedges but it was used for a full round, and at £12 cheaper than a pro v, they're a steal.

I found one of these a few weeks ago, played with it for a few holes and loved it. I have 2 boxes of Prov1x to lose first and then ill be getting some.

check out 118golf.co.uk 3 boxes for 50 pound. great ball and compares with prov. only problem is that i found that because of its cover it discoloured easily and looked dirty. but at this price its a cracking ball. also check out dx3 soft price

Thought you'd sold your sticks and given up. What'll you use instead and when were you planning on losing the Pro V. I can give them a good home or scatter them around Ascot if you need any help getting through them

Its the ProV1x mate, you need a big fat Welsh mans swing speed to use them.

Not selling up, check you PM inbox. You never listen to me Homer. Miss You xx

Checked the inbox - nothing - did the big fat Welsh fingers mistype. I always listened - just couldn't hit it where you told me - still at least we can go to Kent and rob some cash of Medwayjon

Following on from the positive comments I will be giving these a try over the weekend. Went to Nevada Bob's in Peterborough to buy a box of DX2 and saw these on offer for £19.99. At only a couple of quid more than the DX2 they were a no brainer to try out.

For those who did not like the dimple design on the DX2/DX3 then these look more traditional with nice simple writing and no shield design on them. Certainly appear to be trying to look more like a ProV.

Will comment on the course performance after a test.

I'm in the club pairs matchplay semi-final tomorrow. I've just done an hour with just ONE type of ball on the putting green.....DX3.
I've turfed out any other ball from my bag and am just going with 3 used and 3 new. If I lose more than 6, I expect the game will have ended already!!!

t.b.h. I'm half thinking of ordering 3 dozen off ebay....and sticking with them permanently.

Why the sarcasm? I don't get backspin. I went round in 75 yesterday. I know folk who can't play under 100 (full stop) and they can get it. Some people do, we all know how and why.

Well I went out with FG Tour balls and can make a few comments.

Off the driver they were bullet straight, I hit more fairways today than I have in weeks. Was this down to the ball or just a good day with my driver, hard to say but this was a premium, higher spin ball that was not spraying all over the shop so was very happy. Distance was about on a par with the DX2 so pretty impressive as this is not a dedicated distance ball.

With the wedges and short irons I was actually getting the ball to stop on fairly firm greens. This is not something that I have normally been able to but today there were plenty of examples of the ball landing, bouncing once and stopping.

I was also happy with the feel of the putter, very similar to a ProV. It feels firmer than the DX2 which is good news for those who did not like their buttery soft feel. If that was a strong point for you, however, then the FG Tour may not be for you.

Overall this has been a really successful test. The FG Tour is certainly more of a traditional ball; gone are the strange shallow dimples and buttery soft feel of the DX2 but in its place is a very solid performance ball.

At £20.00 a dozen at the moment in Nevada Bob's, I would recommend anyone to give them a go. If they were sold at full premium ball price then I would probably stick with the DX2/DX3 as at my level of ability I am probably not getting the most out of what this ball has to offer but at a couple of quid more than my regular ball, I will have to look to getting a stock in.

Bit nervouse about 118golf, hod delivery issues with them in the past.

That said, had a look but could only find DX2 on the 3 for 2 offer.

Did have a look at the 'clearance' secion for putters and was a little surprised to find 2 with only £3.00 off the RRP.

118golf.co.uk just checked this morning they are doing dx2 dx3 and fgtour 3 for 2!! ive ordered at least twice from them and never had a problem. i dont work for them or related to anyone at 118. just received good service from them.

I played 18 holes with one of these bad boys today.

They certainly feel nice off of the putter face, in fact I really liked the ball to putt with.

I didn't play great today so I can't really comment on the stopping ability etc, however I don't think its any worse than a TP Red for example and its certainly better than a TP Black.

Having bought three dozen they'll certainly be my winter ball, however I'll need to have more playing time with them before I make up my mind.

Pretty impressed so far, but one swallow doesn't make a summer!

 

[jammydodger]

How much did you pay Crawford ?

 

[thecraw]

£45, I think for 3 dozen off of that 118 golf site.

No issues, no problems.

Crikey , let us know how you get on with them cos at that price they could be worth a punt
