I have just checked my sleeves of balls, in Australia. Callaway Supersoft and ERC soft made in Taiwan. Wilson Duo soft and Srixon Divide made in Indonesia. Bridgestone E12 made in USA. The other balls in my bag unfortunately I no longer have the sleeves or boxes from.
Like a commeted on a previous video. They dont use the same precision technology to make sure cores are centered on their supersofts. Only on their chrome line. Their rejection rates would likely be too high and they would have to raise the cost of the balls.
My weekend job is to go back and check the other balls now. I don’t think anything obvious stood out with them in the past (I think Jeff would’ve told me) but I’ll let you know! 👍🏌️♂️
It doesn’t look perfect, but definitely better than the older one… I also cut balls to check them out, I couldn’t find any issues on ProV1x (a whole dozen had perfect results in the salt water test) and TP5, but I cut an AVX with irregular cover thickness
I definitely think that new ball looks uneven, I’d be really cautious of buying them unless I was a beginner golfer not interested in how the ball could impact my game. Thanks for sharing
Yeah I get that, but there are reasons why it’s a $2 ball and quality control isn’t one. It’d be like buying a cheap car and being ok with it having a poor quality engine, there’s gotta be some minimum expectations right? 👍🏌️♂️
There are only 3 golf ball brands where the product to the Pros is EXACTLY the same as you buy off the shelf. The others have a production line just for their Pros where the quality control is far higher. Play Titleist, Taylor Made or Srizon. Do not buy anyone else's. Ever.
@@upclosegolf I was talking to my Pro who doesn't stock certain brands. He had been to a factory where they make the balls and that is where he found out about who gets what balls. I remember trying the Nike that Tiger was supposed to use. It was a rock. I thought there is no way Tiger is playing this ball. I was right.
I will still go with as a weekend hack that on a bad swing has a 2 fairway slice, im sure its not all the balls fault. As a side note i play a course that is very narrow, last time i used gps to measure the fairways i was getting about 20 yards from rough to rough with zero first cut. I also think the cheap golf balls come from a different factory at least in Australia they do.
What do you think?? 🤔 z🏌️♂️

I'm a big Callaway guy but I've always played the Maxfli Straightfli balls.
The price is good and they play very well.
Yeah that’s a really good ball. They’re pushing the boundaries of the USGA but it’s working and that ball gets a lot of positive feedback! 🔥🏌️♂️
Well now that you've opened the portal...time to see if the Pro V1s or Bridgestone premiums measure up to what we pay for them. Have you looked?

The dimples on a golf ball aren't symmetrical. Take a look at the dimples along the cut edge, it could have something to do with that.
I’ll go back and have a look thanks 👍🏌️♂️

Aha - that explains why I slice my driver and keep thinning my chip shots through the green. And my 3-puts now make perfect sense. 😂
Yep. You can officially blame the ball now! 😂🏌️♂️
Im done wit cslaway
Do you really expect a $2 golf ball to be as precise as a $5 golf ball? If that were the case, who would buy the $5 golf ball😳

The distorted trajectory could actually help low handicappers bringing it back online
Ha ha! Yes you're right - this could be used as a marketing strategy! 😂🏌

Great advice! Thanks 👍🏌️♂️

No wonder I hit a hard draw, lol
Ha ha! Always the balls fault! 😂🏌️♂️
I would not take the chance on Callaway balls, 🏌️♂️👍🇨🇦
Very sensible! 👍🏌️♂️🇬🇧
Get yourself a micrometer on try to measure it.
Great idea! 👍🏌️♂️
Supersoft is likely made by a 3rd party.
Yeah I think they’re made abroad in Taiwan 👍🏌️♂️
It's a good ball.
I’m never buying Callaway again! 💩🏌️♂️
Says the 28 handicapper 🤣

Fair enough! Those are some narrow fairways!!
Yes I think the Supersoft are made in Taiwan and the others in the US!
Appreciate your comments! 👍🏌️♂️
