You may be joking , but Mr Short Game just put out a test video on the YT and he was seemingly pleased with them. They were actually long in the tests over the Pro V


Saw that video and watched just because I saw the Amazon balls mentioned here. Looks like they just don't get as much spin as the proV1. For the price I figured I'd buy a box, but couldn't even find them on Amazon.

FWIW I play a lot of ProV1 and ProV1x. I find them in brand new condition for a pretty hefty discount just outside of the rough on hole 6. At this point I have enough of them to last me well into next year.

I golf prov1x logo overruns from golfballs dot com for $40/dozen

They're regular prov1 of the latest model you want, they just have random logos or words on them

Yeah the spin was less but not dramatically less so why not try them. Yeah apparently they sold completely out in like 48 hrs

There are some lazy golfers who don’t hunt for them, but there are also golfers who do not know their carry. They usually look well beyond where their golf ball is.

I find balls all the time just off the first cut.

I got over 20 out of the water in front of 18 on The Judge today.

People coming up short bounce back and in. It’s a gift that just keeps on giving.

Twilight golf is fantastic for retrieving brand new high-end balls. I have a nice collection of ProVs, chrome softs, tp5s and the like.

Guilty. I can’t stand playing with someone who looks forever for a ball. I’ll give it a drive by if I hit one in the shite but I’m not about to spend more than a minute looking.

On The Senator if you hit it in what I affectionately call “the cabbage” which is on every hole past the first cut of the rough you just play it as a lateral hazard and don’t even bother looking.

Really it’s only cut once or twice a year and I don’t know if it’s ever been dethatched. The only way you find one in there is step on it. Which probably won’t be yours and snakes really like the stuff.

If they ever do cut it they could scoop up thousands of balls.

As long as you know how far you hit it in the air, usually you can locate it pretty quickly.

Many of these are just off the fairway.
Some are very visible.

I also see more on cart path only days.

I walk so maybe I get started on a better azimuth than the riders.
