BEST 3 DISTANCE GOLF BALLS FOR SLOW SWING SPEED
Doesn't matter to me which ball I use... they'll all end up in the bush or the water eventually anyways... so why buy expensive balls
Playing the Wilson Triad lately. Very impressed with it all around.
I use isopropyl alcohol. It works way better.
Great idea! I found a new way to clean them here The ONLY Way To Clean Your Golf Ball (Part 2) th-cam.com/video/0O8Zz5tiS3M/w-d-xo.html 👍🏌️♂️
Top flite has sucked in every generation
Ha ha! 😂
Top Rocks is what I and many people call them
Truly like Volvik golf balls for wet spring or early winter use
Yep they’ve got a great range of balls! 👍🏌️♂️
Yep Crystal one for me
That’s so weird
Love the crystal ball! ❤
Have you played these golf balls? 🤔🏌️♂️
Love the Volvik matte ball off the tee
Yes I’ve played the Srixon soft feel matte balls and found it very similar! Great ball 👍🏌️♂️
@@upclosegolf it's funny you showed the inside of a Wilson matte ball. I play them too
So strange- almost identical! 🤔
Emoji ball ( sport direct special flying brick) I bought these for my kids, but expect no spin! Removingthe dimples it fall out the air much quicker, the more dimples the better.
Ha ha! I don’t think I’ll use the emoji ball on the course with your feedback then! 😂
Have you seen this type of thing before?? 🤔🏌️♂️
Love ur videos bro! I dropped a sub, love the content
Thanks again! 👍🏌️♂️
So I’ve been using Nitros for awhile. Really love the price on them, and I can keep up with my pals playing titleist. I recently shot a 44 w the Crosstour at our local 9 hole course. Might be time to upgrade though after watching these videos. Subscribed!
Thanks for your comment, always interesting to see what balls everyone plays, you’re not alone in liking the Nitros - they get a lot of love…appreciate the support 👍🏌️♂️
they're both pro v1xs because the red 4 on the "pro v1"
Appreciate your comment, it’s a split screen which is duplicated, not both balls being cut at the same time 👍🏌️♂️
@@upclosegolf sorry, i didnt watch the full video, i realized the 3 piece core was the pro v1!
no probs - don’t forget to like and subscribe 👍🏌️♂️
Volvik is crap. But tell us dude have you ever swung a golf club in anger. What does cutting ball got to do with their quality except proving that your a twat.
ProV1 yellow has been by go to lately
Good choice! 👍🏌️♂️
These were all just cheap rock hard balls for beginners and hihandicappers who lose 6 or more balls a round. Another one I remember was the "Dunlop DDH".
Yes I remember the Dunlop DDH! Jeez there were some rubbish golf balls back in the day! 😂🏌️♂️
The Magna was meant for begginers, as its size made it easier to hit and get up in the air. However it won't go as far as a normal sized ball. Callaway now make a modern version called the "Supersoft Max".
via bounce test, Srixon is the live'est ball, but @ $3/ball just too Xpensive. Wilson ultra is just as hot, feels great off the club, and costs just $1/ball.
You’ve just reminded me to do some bounce tests in my videos, thanks! The Wilson Ultra is a great price! 👍🏌️♂️
Normally the testing on water balls shows a decrease in distance. The longer in the water the less distance. I would like to golf ball testing Seattle or London for the effect of rain.
Yes that’s what I’ve heard too, that the water will gradually reduce distance 👍🏌️♂️
Blunt force trauma on that ball. I have used and played dozens of lake balls ( balls I fished out my self) and found no difference. Most course lakes are on a 2-3 feet deep so 1M deep. That is only a 1.1 Bar pressure so nothing.
Nicely explained!!
What do you think? 🤔🏌️♂️
I find lots of balls mainly in heavy rough but ocassionally i find balls in the many ponds scattered around the courses i play..i dont use any balls that dont have a urethane cover. I have tried using urethane balls that i find in the water and i do notice a drop off in distance and spin. They also seem a bit spongy. I havent cut a ball in half but expect they would be the same colour. I doubt very much with the cheaper covered balls there would be any difference to be honest
Yeah thanks for your comment. I imagine the more premium a ball is the more it will be impacted by water etc. I’ve got a water damaged Pro V1x that I’ll have to cut open next. 👍🏌️♂️
Nice music : ) I played the left dash balls and very hard 103 Compression. I think they were designed for very hot playing conditions. Then it may be softer. You would crack most modern Carbon drivers faces in the UK winter conditions.
Ha ha! Gotta love some N*Snyc 😂 Yes they are a serious players golf ball…I’ll be staying well clear with my swing! 😂🏌️♂️
Always mark your sharpie line across the “Refurbished” text. Then it’s Genuine 😉
Ha ha! That’s a great idea! 😂🏌️♂️
Its an older model ProV1x and the refurbished balls have extra paint that falls off too easy, and the logo is always a lot thicker
Thanks, yes the logo did look a lot bigger! 👍🏌️♂️
I cut open a z star from amazon and a XV and they both looked 2 piece if someone can explain that?😅
I think the Z Star has a dual core, have a look at this video as it has a z star in it, let me know if it’s the same as you’ve seen? 👍🏌️♂️ Inside a REFURBISHED Pro V1x vs NEW Pro V1x Golf Ball! (What’s Inside?) th-cam.com/video/hiFDSp-HluY/w-d-xo.html

Remember commando being £4.99 for 12 at Argos
Ha ha! I remember getting a dozen for Christmas as a kid! 😂🏌️♂️
@@upclosegolf noooooo.... 😂😂😂 I've just taken delivery of 300 Callaway chrome soft X1... That's me sorted for a year or so 👌
For the average 90 shooter golfer golf ball choice matters zilch. Players who rarely hit fairways and greens can probably play with a range ball and it’s not going to make any difference. If you’re a player that can actually hit the sweet spot on a consistent basis and compress the ball on the face, then of course, golf ball selection is a big deal. I see average players at my club spending a fortune on golf balls and hacking them all over the course. Golf ball choice for these guys will make no difference.
Yep you’re absolutely right! It’s such a waste of money for the large majority of golfers! 👍🏌️♂️
I'm an amateur that's still learning, so getting 200 very slightly used Srixon softfeel matte oranges for 50 cents a ball works best for me right now. Won't have to worry about re-upping anytime soon, that's for sure. :)
That’s a great strategy! Also the soft feel balls are excellent. I like the yellow matte ones! 👍🏌️♂️
Played around with all 3 golf balls. Performance on the Volvik was the best.
Yeah I’m a big fan of Volvik - the Blue Top Flite does look good too though! 👍🏌️♂️
Pretty sure it's a legit V1x, but the one you already had cut open is the current one (2023 model which is also on the market in 2024) and the refurbished one i agree with the other poster, that it looks like a 2013 version. Not surprised if they made those changes over 5 iterations of the ball. It's been 3 generations in between. As for the weight i don't know.
Yeah I imagine it’s a pretty old golf ball, strange about the weight? 🤔🏌️♂️
@@upclosegolf they do put on a new coat of paint on refurbished balls
@@jazon8877yeah that’s probably the weight difference then! That’s got to impact your ball flight…👍🏌️♂️
Cold weather Srixon soft feel, Z star XV for the rest of the year. Love the Q Star divide.
Good choices! The Q Star Divide is an excellent ball! 👍🏌️♂️
I believe the side logo on the refurbished ball is the 2013 ProV1X, just FYI, great video! 👍
Hey thanks that’s much appreciated! 👍🏌️♂️
Played both Ultra and Chaos great off the driver , better options to use around the green and putting. Wilson does make a great golf ball model Staff.
That’s great, appreciate your comments! 👍🏌️♂️
Have you seen balls like this one before? 🤔🏌️♂️
Looked to me like the lake ball was darker by a small amount, May have been a different lot. Meaning the balls were made on different day's. Just an idea.
I just started golfing again after 12yrs off. I foolishly bought a bunch of Nitros. They hit like plastic rocks. I have found a great feeling cheap ball though, Cut Red. I can get them for $22/2 dozen. And they must’ve fixed their cover issues, I haven’t had a single one split or crack like some people. I would really cuss if I played the Titleist. $5 every time I smashed one in the woods. 😂
Oh dear! Yeah they’re pretty hard golf balls! I’ve tried the cut red too, think I’ve also cut them open which was funny, cutting a cut! Budget golf balls is defo the way forwards, it gets far too expensive otherwise! 👍🏌️♂️
Feel when it struck feel and sound when putting and how it compares to my current golf ball
Yes good advice, putting is an important one to feel right! 👍🏌️♂️
Do you edit videos yourself or have you hired someone? would love to discuss it if you’re interested
Hey Abdul, I edit my own videos (ha ha can’t you tell) 👍🏌️♂️
@@upclosegolf ha ha! I appreciate your quick response.
I think for beginners that loose a lot of balls Nitro is fine but as soon as you get better, spend 1,50 or 2usd on something like a Vice Tour or similar and you will get a better ball. There is really good premium balls from 2,50 and up like Vice pro Plus or Mynt that have great spin and distance more comparable to a ProV1
Great points! Also I love Vice golf balls! 👍🏌️♂️
Great video & very true. Feel & touch on short shots is far more important than just driver speed. ⛳⛳
Appreciate your comment, yes I do feel that’s sometimes an afterthought after driver distance 🏌️♂️👍
I used to play just any golf ball I found on the course. But they behave so differently, I now firmly believe you should choose a ball and stick with it. Particularly with approach shots.
Really appreciate your comments, yes I agree, I’m planning on playing only 1 ball and seeing if it helps improve my game further 👍🏌️♂️
How do you choose yours? 🤔🏌️♂️
Commando! 😆🤣
Trip down memory lane, enjoyed the video.

You are comparing a $.75 Nitro to a $5.00 Titleist golf ball. Does it really matter if you lose a lot of golf balls?
