    In this video Rick Shiels PGA golf professional puts the 'Ultimate Straight' golf ball to the test!
    Will this golf ball cure your slice or stop you hooking it? Can this illegal golf ball help you to hit more fairways and hit more greens? Is it possible that this golf ball can lower your scores?
    Rick heads out onto the Marriott Worsley golf course in Manchester and plays golf with the golf ball. He also tries to get a hole in one with the golf ball and even gives the golf ball to some average golfers. Will they hit the golf ball straight or will the shank it into the trees?
    Tiger Woods plays the Bridgestone golf ball, Rory McIlroy plays the TaylorMade Golf TP5, Phil Mickelson plays the Callaway Golf Chrome Soft Golf Ball and loads of professional golfers on the European Tour and PGA Tour play the Titleist Golf Pro V1 and the Pro V1x. Would they play this golf ball if it was conforming?

    Rick, after watching this video about a month ago, I purchased these balls. I can say that for myself, they have made golfing fun again. Before I was lucky to hit the fairway from the tee maybe once per round. Now I hit the fairway from the tee over 90% of the time. On par 3 shots I am getting onto the green over 90% of the time as well. I just golf for fun (and now its even more fun!) and am not concerned about tournament play. So I am very willing to overlook the "cheating" aspect of playing with this ball, because I really look forward to playing. Before using these balls I would feel frustrated, borderline angry after a round of golf. Now I am coming home relaxed and happy after a round of golf. Has my score improved drastically, no, but the enjoyment factor has improved drastically and I feel that is more important for me.

      jeffery luk what this gent said is true. A launch monitor doesn’t know the dimple pattern of the ball, which is the tech it uses to “self-correct”. If rick takes that slice hack at it on quad it will take the launch angle and angle of attack and impact position and send the tracer off into the woods like the tp5.

  • @TheWok1336
    @TheWok1336 4 роки тому +57

    To me, this is perfect for the player who doesn't play much but wants to go out and "enjoy" a round once every few months. It allows him to stay in play even if his swing is not great because he doesn't play enough to work on it. Keeps him out of the woods and water and makes the round more enjoyable. Definitely not for anyone who wants to be more competitive, play a lot and get better

I bought the new 3-piece ball now on Amazon for $49 a dozen and played my 9-hole league yesterday with it. I used only one ball the entire round with ZERO penalties and I shot net 3-under (I'm an 11 HCP in our league). There were 3 shots that would normally have resulted in slices and penalties but this ball saved me. I know they're not cheap but if these bring me more enjoyment then I'm all in.

Illegal shafts or any other things amateurs(or crafty Pros) gravitate towards to get that extra 10-15 yards over their playing partners. Keep up the great work!

  • @alvinye4141
    @alvinye4141 4 роки тому +6

    The ultimate straight line is probably my favorite aspect of that ball. Typically, two piece balls come together and they draw a line wherever it is set but the true flat area is when you closely inspect the ball to see where they welded the ball halves together and ground it down. You can do this to any ball and it will give you a slightly flatter line. Still important to putt straight though but you might as well find the flatest part of the ball while you can. It's nice to see a brand that took that into consideration!

    These balls came out around 1977. The band of deeper dimples creates a gyro effect. I used them in a round and both hooks and slices would straighten out about halfway through their flight so you would end up just off the left fairway instead of in the trees. They were completely legal and when the USGA quickly changed the rules and banned them. Polara sued the USGA and got a multi-million settlement. It wasn't too many years later that the USGA lost a massive suit to Ping.

    I watched the video and ordered the balls. After 3 full rounds, I am a believer. My swing produces a slice majority of the time no matter what I do off the tee. This ball has not only gone straight but it has lowered my score and helped my confidence. Wish I had this when I began playing in 1982. I am a weekend golfer only and never play in any type of tournament so I don't care if the ball is illegal or not. (they make better balls, better clubs, better tees so I really don't see why this dimple pattern is illegal.) I do see a strange flight pattern every other drive. For me, this ball is a keeper. Thanks for the video.

It was fun to play. On terrible swings, the ball didn't fly as far, which is good. Had a few pull, hooks and the ball stayed in play, a regular ball would have been OB or in another fairway. On great swings, the ball GOES!!!

    These Balls work - to a degree. I bought some a couple years ago to give out to some of my friends, and kept two sleeves for myself to play with. As long as you line the arrows up, the ball pretty much goes dead straight. The problem is that these balls treat a symptom and not the root cause. They won't fix your awful swing - ie. they don't stop you from pushing or pulling the ball into oblivion, or correct your body position and target line.
    Also, the ball flight off the tee is strange looking, and an experienced player will call you out on it pretty quickly. Good for a laugh, but shouldn't be a solution for scoring better.

  • @Menaceirl
    @Menaceirl 4 роки тому +23

    Ever since I watched this video I got a pack of these and use them when I play casually with my friends who are considerably better than me.
    We aren't competitive, but it was always frustrating to make them wait while I went way off to find my ball. This *almost* completely solved it. Honestly, it made me enjoy golfing with a more varied group of people. I just tell them beforehand and ask if its okay, and everytime it has been. (just don't go smack talk them when they slice one into the woods)
    When I play by myself or with people more similar in skill level I still use regular balls, as I found I get lazy habits when I play only with these for several outings.

    @eddiehinchliffe7345 5 років тому +1

    The reason for the straight ball falling out of the sky is the relative lack of dimples down that centre line. Since these will always end up rotating parallel to the flight due to the "self correcting" effect the dimple pattern has the backspin on the ball is only going to work as well at keeping the ball in the air as well as (or not too much better than) a ball without dimples would.
