Can we discuss golf balls?

Been playing a lot the past 6 weeks or so at one of the local courses in my area, Tamahka Trails, and I’ve noticed that I lost 20-30 yards on my drive. Kind of annoying as that is the game I’ve always relied on.
Anyways, I’ve been searching for a solid golf ball. I’ve played mostly with ProV1’s, but I’m just not feeling it anymore. My swing speed averages in the 123-126mph range as I’ve tested this multiple times the past few years.
Here is what I am looking for:
1. The best ball that I can use for local golf tournaments. Price can be high.
2. Best bang for my buck kind of ball. I really like the Laddie Precepts but they are stupid cheap and I scuff them on almost every iron shot.
Also, I have a 3 year old Taylor Made SLDR driver with a Miyazaki Extra Stiff shaft.

This is not due to the golf ball.

So you just highlight parts of the thread to make it fit your agenda? Sounds like the douchebag lawyer-type to me
I put the type of driver/shaft in the OP thinking maybe that my driver may be the problem.
Also, my swing speed is legitimate. I have gone to 3 different golf shops and they were all very accurate.

Since I have switched from Bridgestone tour balls X and XS from Prov1s, I seem to lose less golf balls. I have no clue why, but it is just happening.

Your average driver swing speed is between 123 and 126?
Or
Is that your ball speed.
I don’t know you but I have a hard time believing it is you average driver clubhead speed.

Been playing the Bridgestone e6 Speed balls lately. I really like them.

Find it very hard to believe you "lost 20-30" yards one day. But all things equal, same driver, swing, swing speed, ball, I will say driver heads go bad. Now, this could be the head itself is cracked or just bad manufacturing that day.
I'd recommend going to the same golf shops you analyzed your swing with and hit new driver heads. It's not the shaft.
WIt's not the golf ball either; but to think you "play" this much and "swing" that fast, you consider playing a Precept Laddie puts a nice shite stench over all of this.

This. Coupled with the fact that many tour pros would love this guys phantom swing speed. And that Titleist is the most played ball on tour, but yet just isn't cutting it for you. Okay.

What kind of shape is Tamaka in right now?

quote:When I'm not playing competitively, I use this as a "test" ball. I try different shots when I do and test the waters. Like I'll try to draw or fade over trees with this type of ball and not feel guilty about losing a $5 ball .

Dude has a ridiculous swing speed. The one part he neglected to mention is the erratic nature of it, but it's fast as hell.

You're not going to gain anything over a pro-V1, and the laddie is a shite ball for 20+ handicaps.
