4 piece balls, not sure I would splurge but great nostalgia.

Molitor , man they was hard , do damage to the face of the modern Drivers for sure
This is the one, just as I remember it (if the pic displays at a decent size). As soft as a Commando...

I used to like a pinnacle exteme. 'Cheap and feel ok' was the strap line on the box, but in those days I liked to save up and use maxfli 'black max' :thup:
Obviously now I favour srixon distance, they feel buttery soft off my cast callaways

Last year I couldn't stay for the draw in one of the charity raffles at the club and a "friend" said he would look after my tickets and, if I had a winning ticket, he would choose a prize for me.
As a result, I am now the "proud" owner of a box of 12 brand new Commando Plus vizi-white balls.
I could be persuaded to part with them at the right price.

XL2000 is/was nearly as old as you!
More rocks from 'back in the day'.....
Molitor 440

Dunlop Double Titanium
Though I used a Double Ti for 1 hole a couple of months ago and it felt fine!
Some of the current/recent Callaway and Nike balls are definitely not for me!

Hmm, do I sense a little sarcasm here :mmm:
I played in a Greensomes comp on New Years Day and my lady partner was playing with a Srixon Distance, I found a fairway bunker on 1 of my drives so I took her drive which was some 50yds back on the fairway, I took my new SLDR 19* hybrid and nailed it to the front fringe of the green, I've never seen me hit such a low to mid flight penetrating ball before into the wind so well, thinking it may be just one of those 1 out of 5 great hits we all do now and then, I had the opportunity to do a similar shot but this time a 2nd shot on our par 5 and again a superb low penetrating shot which went miles further than expected!
At only £10 a dozen, could these be a realistic alternative to the AD333's or Z-Stars I use, are some premium balls overrated to a degree at certain handicap levels?

I've had a hole in one with a Molitor, superb golf balls.

My first one was with a Dunlop Double Titanium!
@Fish Srixon Distance is quite a good ball imo. Especially for winter use; certainly comparable with AD333 and a much better price. I never noticed a particularly low flight though.

Maybe a little sarcasm
In the winter it makes little difference but you'd notice it on firm greens. They also go a bit chalky after a while.
Have you tried a pinnacle lady?
I had one of my best winter rounds ever with a molitor that I found, but I wouldn't choose to play them.

Maybe it was a bit bottom groovy

A lot of amature players with slow swing speeds would probably do themselves a favour by choosing a ladies ball.

You are quite correct, the pink/white combo was rather fetching.

Pinnacle Tour Extra Soft High-Spin ...... ok so I made that one up. But can you imagine them making and marketing one?
We used to have a Pinnacle ball in our roll-up which had to be used if you hit a provisional. And you had to announce it loudly, "Provisional ball, Pinnacle 1". Trying to then hit it with all the laughing behind you was harder than the actual ball.

~Doon, was the Uniroyal also known as the +6... the marketing hype was that the hexagonal dimples made it go 6 yards further???
