Worst Golf Ball ever?

[tugglesf239]

Callaway Warbirds must be up there.

I have topped one of these on a cold January morning with a 4 iron and i swear my hands were ruined for days after. The birds flew out the trees after the yelp i let out.

Horrible things

Am sure there used to be a PING ball that had a 1/2 & 1/2 colour scheme

One of these perchance?

I used to have one that was ½ white and ½ purple! Awful thing.

nothing wrong with yellow balls

:thup:


The worst I've used was a Molitor .................. I think it was thinly covered granite!

Uniroyal Hexagon........close thread!

BTW
As a young golf assistant asked by customers what GBD meant I would cheerfully say, 'Goes Better Downhill'.

Most believed me.[ truth is ......Golf Ball Developments, makers of Penfold and Bromford.]

Prices Everlasting was deffo the worst.

PS - I think The Lynx Jumbo was the first 'oversized' ball at 1.80 inches

Maybe not the worst ball but the worst name has to be the Top Flite Freak closely followed by the Top Flite Gamer released at the same time.

I remember the Lynx Jumbo. Looked like a tennis ball next to a 1.62 old size ball.

Forgot about the Calloway Warbird, that was like hitting a stone.
They used to use them on the Turnberry range, gave a new meaning to a warm up basket.

Has anyone ever used the Callaway CXR before? I have 6 in my golf bag and i havent used them yet. Any thoughts?

Get pre-treatment for vibration white finger. Thats my advice. Absolute pebble.

Depends on which CXR - The CXR Power - yep agree as per the above

The CXR Control though is not a bad ball IMHO. A 3 piece for £12 pd!! Played most of this season with them and performed better than the AD333

Another vote for Molitor.

Titleist Velocity.

Other than its relatively low price it has no redeeming features and is a slur on the name of an otherwise top company.

Has to be the Commando for me. I remember we used to hit them for fun when we found one when we were kids. I swear it made a sort of 'zipping' sound as it went through the air if you stood next to it. I also seem to remember them having the properties of a 'floater' football. You could try and hit a snap hook with it and it would either go dead straight or fade.

One of my friends found a Top Flite Magna ball in the rough a few weeks ago and wondered why it wouldn't fit into the ball holder on his trolley. The reason was that it was huge compared with a standard 1.68" golf ball. Can't imagine what Top Flite were thinking when they designed this ball?

The theory was that it would hook and slice less. The bigger the ball, the less spin. That was the marketing anyway.

I better start investing in some better balls!!! I have been using warbirds for a while, because of the price, but haven't really used many others to compare....!!!

 

[bladeplayer]

Top Flite is definate , might aswell be hitting rocks


Is it fair to say commando ? arent they a more P&P ball ? They are superb for P&P but by design would be bad with driver & long irons

 

[FairwayDodger]

The worst EVER?

Must be a feathery?

 

[uncle chop chop]

Black Diamonds are the worst golf ball available anywhere in the world today, by an absolute country mile!!!!

Won 12 at a society day, that bad i wouldnt even put them in my practice bag, these things eat top flights and commandoes for breakfast in the pebble stakes.

Yes, diamond hardness not exactly a 'must have' when deciding on which ball to play.

I found a translucent pink Volvik Crystal ball once - terrible thing.
