For me it was the Dunlop LoCo- an absolute shocker! i "won" some of these years ago and although I hit the ball reasonably well I could not get this thing to go where i wanted at all, ever, just so much spin of a seemingly random direction on any given shot.

Yea my vote for top flight or donnay. Awful sound off them and can't putt them cause of the sound lol.

Remember finding a ball one time that was crap aswell the MC lady anyone else had the honour of them lol

I remember playing with a topflight years ago on a freezingly cold day, and it split in half.:eek: Still managed to miss the fairway with both halves.:(

Has anyone used one of those soft balls. They look clear on the outside cover. I recently won one and i havent used it yet. It was called slazenger black ice. Any thoughts.

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.
i have a yellow commando in the spare ball bucket in my garage. I played a quick round with it and on my ninth drive, it split in two. I found one half, but not the other. What a way to break and it had never really been used. Just goes to show how awful they really are.

I believe the yellow Commando was actually called the Tornado wasn't it?

Does anyone still play the commando. I wonder if they all split in half when you whack them hard?

I see there is now a yellow Commando available, but in my day the yellow equivalent was a Tornado. Anyone, in answer to the above, I believe the Commando is a very popular ball among serious pitch and putt players...
