    One of the fellows I play with found a pink splash and he thought he would be cute and handed it to me while saying pink right up your alley. I used it and had 3 pars and a bird going in. I showed up for our next round with the pink splash in my bag. I really like them and at $25 a dozen perfect for a mid handicap senior

      Yea I thought they have a ‘camouflage’ look to them. If you’re not hitting the fairway then I suspect they are more difficult to find.

    Glad you read my post on your other video and tested these. I tested these against the new CHROME TOUR and ProV1 on the course on a great sunny day. Performed great off the tee and actually rolled better on the green during putts. Ive never liked the feel of the TP5 or TP5X but the SPEEDSOFT,... I LOVE THEM!!

    Hi James. Yes I have purchased a dozen of the blue ink Super soft golf balls. Since we had 2 inches of rain this morning I’m not trying them out today. I did try the Tp5x and I was surprised at the distance. I hope the ink golf ⛳️ balls have the same or more distance as the TP5x

    Volvik Vivid, Srixon Soft Feel, and Bridgestone RX. If I'm playing a new course, I play the cheaper balls. If the course has forced carries, I have some Nitros I can donate to the fish.
    I have TM Stripes for putting practice. You can't beat that stripe in terms of instant visual feedback. And when you putt it right and it just curves with the break and the line is straight...that's a good putt.

    Last year, I played Kirkland. But over the winter off-season, I got new gear and looked into balls for my slower swing speed, as I felt the Kirkland were sometimes hurting my hands. Haven’t hit a course yet but I got some Srixon Soft Feels so I’m looking forward to trying them.

    @zGGamers 3 місяці тому

    Im 2 and a half years into golf, so still basically new. From the get go i was told don't worry about balls because you'll lose them and i agree. But then as i started to improve i realised after hearing something like "the golf ball is the only consistent thing you can get in golf" i understood that. so started using Pro V1, now playing off 14. Lose like 1 ball a round, if that. i tried the tour response stripe the other week as want to improve putting and love the stripe guidance. but my high swing speed i cant get on with them compared to Pro V1. I hit driver over 300 yards and the Pro V definitely helps, whereas softer balls seem to come off too spiny for me. So i might give these a go for the price. Thanks for the review as always James

    • @WisGuy4
      @WisGuy4 3 місяці тому

      I hit driver over 300 yards, too - 220 forward, 100 to the right.
      If I had a dollar for every internet golf hero (who lives in his mom’s basement and drives a Dodge Neon), who claims to hit the ball 300+ yards but has only done it once with the aid of a 30mph tailwind and a sprinkler head or cart path, I’d be a rich man.
      I bet you date supermodels, too.

    As a cat 1 golfer I use tp5. For short game really I can check it & get up & down. Something I can’t do with a harder cheaper ball. However I’m going to try these balls. If you’re getting them to check they’ll save me a fortune. The other ball I was really interested was the old Kirkland. They performed & felt like a premium ball I thought. But the new ones aren’t as good in my opinion. Could just be me. But thanks for this upload matey I’ll give this a blast. Love your content you seem a top lad. Well done. 👏

    I have the chromesoftt triple track, chromesoft truvis and liked them. I tried the TM TR stripe and it is great. I was switching to that as it is cheaper than the chromesoft. Then I just got the deal that titleist is doing and got pro V1’s for $44 a dozen when you buy 3 dozen you get a 4th dozen free same price as the TM TR stripe. I have golf balls for the next a few years now since I don’t lose many on the courses I play. This looks like a great golf ball.

    I recently got a shipment in of the Speed Softs. I gotta say for a 2 piece ball they are off the charts. They check up well for me, distances are good and feel nice off of all my clubs. They hold green well. Price is good. The performance of this ball is way way above average for a budget priced ball. Honestly made me feel like I was playing with a premium ball. One thing for sure its a premium ball of its price category. A very nice choice for seniors .

    Callaway Supersoft is my favorite ball. These Speedsofts were designed to compete with the Supersoft's which is the number one selling soft ball. A friend of mine just gave me a sleeve of the Ink balls. Compression of the Inks is under 50. Compression of the Supersofts is under 40.

    @matts5948 3 місяці тому

    I personally love a funky colour ball, I used to play the ping 2 coloured ball all of the time, so yeah I'd definitely play these especially as they look like they also perform well. I'm a high handicapper so a cheaper ball is always nice as I tend to lose some fairly often. Not sure green is a great colour option though if that goes off into the deep rough it would be like trying to spot a sniper in camouflage gear. But the Red, Blue and Orange I'd definitely try.

  • @MrRocstar50

    Leaving this comment before watching the review but I found these to be longer than the pro v1x but not very controlled, hated the feel when putting too. I've been playing either the ProV1x or Maxfli Tour X - actually really loved the MaxFli Tour X at Golfgalaxy/Dick's, and they sell the 4 dozen box for $100 which was a steal... I do also really like the Tour Stripe from TM but like the v1x or tour x from MaxFli. I switch around for different holes/shots haha. Still muddy on the courses so I pick the muddy ball up and drop clean ones

    James, I am a member of Costco but also a company that started the whole big box sales called SAMS Club. You may or may not have heard of it. Anyway, they sale a box of 24 "VICE PRO" golf balls for $49.00. Granted these balls do not have the colorful splash artwork of the "VICE PRO" balls you get anywhere else, however they are a three-piece urethane covered ball with the same dimple count. Not sure what the difference is. Could you test them please? I've really enjoyed them, and they have helped my game. Picked up about 12-15 yards of distance and they stop on a dime on approach shots with any midrange-short irons or wedges. Just curious more than anything if they are the same ball and I'm just getting a good deal? Thanks!!!

    Correction? James, you said the Speedsoft spun less off the driver but the chart said they spun over 700 rpm’s more? Did you flip flop the two spin numbers or is the SpeedSoft’s spin number supposed to start with a “1” instead of a “2”? Also, it would be very helpful to see the launch angle of the ball and the peak height on your charts. Thanks. I always enjoy your videos.
