    I'm 65 and just started using the Callaway super soft max. With my slow swing speed I can usually hit it to around 200 yards give or take. My swing speed is usually under 90

    I use the Titleist Velocity or TruFeel simply because I get great distance control on the green with my old Taylormade Modena 8 putter. Three piece Urethane balls only get played when the greens are exceptionally fast during different times of the year.

    I not played cos of going blind and balance problems all due to long time Diabetes and more problems recently with left leg amputated. But when I was playing at Kilton Forest in Worksop I was Always torn between the Top Flight XL II or the Pro V depending on the situation I don't half miss playing golf so I thank you for your channel and playing courses everywhere thanks James 👍

      Difficult to read past this one without saying. I trust you're well supported and even if it's only the knowledge that another "tick if you're not a robot" wishes that the wisdom that adversity brings arrives as quickly as possible to you, if it's not already there. And that this reply has brightened your day, even if it's just a tidge.

    I have tried the Trust balls and still have 2 sleeves left. I found them to be a little shorter than my usual gamer. I now play another direct to consumer On Core and love them. They don't seem to scuff as easily as the Trust did and for my game definitely longer. I have also found them to hold greens much better. Great show!

    Fun to watch! I play with TM TP5 not X. I am an 18 handicap and lose a ball here and there so o do not pay for new balls. Because TP5s are both a great feeling ball for me, and has not been out for a hundred years like the ProV1, I buy them off of eBay as AAA or AAAA. The reason I do not buy used ProV1s is that they could be 10 years old and lived in a lake for most of that time. I typically get TP5s for $1 a ball or maybe just a touch more. 9 out of 10 of them are great.
    For me, I am willing to use these until I can play rounds without losing a $4 ball.

    I was playing the Taylor Made Tour Response but I have tried the Maxfli Tour family of balls this past summer and for my skills they work quite well. And I was able to buy a few dozen before the price increase here in the U.S. Part of the fun for me is trying different balls occasionally so I’m sure in the future I’ll be trying something else. I do enjoy your content along with your interaction with Chris and John.

    Helluva back to back drives on the green! Your previous review helped sway me to give the Maxfli Tour balls a try. I have been gaming the Tour X for 2 months now and and love the performance. I feel I have not given anything up switching from my fave Srixon Z-Star XV. Love the videos. Very informative and entertaining.

    I love the Titleist AVX, but can't afford them. The ball I play is the Trufeel. A review by 2nd Swing in 2021 for lower swing speed shows Trufeel just behind the big 3 in distance. A 2022 review by Golfalot of the balls not with a V in it's name rated Trufeel best.

    Do you guys carry a couple of balls in your pockets to keep warm? I live in Ohio so usually I'll try to keep a couple warm. I used to play in winter if I got a decent day and I cracked several balls in the cooler weather. Years back though. Early 2000's maybe. Good stuff. Thanks.

      I love kirkland but testing shows they are some of the spinniest balls on the market. So your slice will be more dramatic than like a callaway supersoft or other "low compression" offerings. I would try bridgstone e6 or callaway sueper soft!.

      @@MrRyankush43 you give me far too much credit. I’m slicing because my swing is atrocious. I’ll stick to the cheap balls since I lose so many. Generally speaking, most amateurs are kidding themselves if they think the ball will make a big difference for them.

      @@Ryan-rc3kq Its not a magical fix but if it reduces your slice by 10% I'd call that a win. I too just use what ever balls i find. But i think the right ball can help a little. Testing shows some low compression balls spinning like 20% less than the spinniest ball. Sidespin=slice. Less sidespin=less slice. Science.
