Next time you do a video can you ask Mo exactly what is holding him up from getting on the Euro or PGA Tour The guy hits a great ball and works his backside off on his game so it appears he has the potential What is it that he feels is the area he needs to improve to live the dream on the big tour ??
There are no events running anywhere that he can go to. He has been without tournaments for months on end now. The Golf Sidekick channel supports him occasionally but i can only do so much. I have always dreamed of getting him to the USA. HOPEFULLY in 2022 with the help of the playa community.
I play with the INESIS 900 and have’s a good response. I just doesn’t love the performance on the Driver but the price and the materials are good af. (The white balls looks more fancy)
I recommend your channel to my golfing mates, as there’s no nonsense. Play your own game, have fun whatever you play. Life is hard enough. Well done Playa
It was funny hearing Matt talk about standing over a Pro V1 and thinking "don't hook it into the water". Personally, I have a hard time even hitting the ones that I find cause I don't want to lose them.
I have found so many from the fearful players that I now have no fear of hitting one...I lose my share of course, but I know I will find more. Getting better means being willing to lose some balls because you have balls enough to hit them.
You need to get over that fear It's only a golf ball Go for a wander around the golf course some time and you will eventually get a bucketload of balls Once you don't fear losing them for some reason you don't seem to lose them I would lose 1 ball every 10 or so rounds around my home course And that would 95% of the time be because I can't find it in the trees because we holding lick up the ricochet
I use the inesis let's face it I'm not good enough to tell the difference. I so like the way they feel I have no problem spinning them and stopping them with wedges and irons. And they are much easier on the wallet when losing them😁
Try Snell. They're as close as I've seen to Titleist consistency in a budget brand. Where Titleist differentiates itself is just in the shocking consistency ball to ball. Their QC is unmatched. If you buy 12 balls, you can bet they'll perform the same if you hit similar shots.
I was going to say this as well... I bought a dozen of the MTB Black and find them to be fantastic in terms of spin, feel, and durability. Before I thought that the Bridgestone was my second choice to Titleist, now I would happily say that Snell is because the price is amazing and the quality is every bit as good.
@@Real28 I also spin the ball a lot, and like the feel of the ProV1s… there might be a touch more firmness to the snell, but spin is pretty nice I keep it around 2200-2600 with the driver and that’s a nice improvement, bad ones will be around 2900-3200 with other balls. Feel is somewhat similar to the B330 as well
Snell is good. Prov is good. Inesis is good. Taylormade is good. Callaway is good. Bridgestone is good. Every single urethane ball on the market will be the exact same as the other for any golfer higher than a 1 handicap. Mo played goddamn Srixon Soft Feel up until he was scratch.
Great video as always Baus Matt! I think the golf ball situation is fascinating. For years I avoided playing tour-level balls because of the cost and exactly what you're describing - not wanting to lose one so I would be tentative over the shot. I played Kirklands for 3+ years and brought my handicap from a 12 to a 6 with them. A great ball at the time. That said, as I improved and got more consistent with my ball striking, I found the Kirklands were not a good fit (too much spin) and I did notice the occasional questionable shot (good swing, ball off the planet). I switched to a Titleist Pro V1x "Left Dash" based on a ball fitting and never looked back. Best ball for my game and I find that knowing the ball will perform for me allows me to swing freely. TL:DR - play what you want and makes you feel comfortable. When you're good, you can play the nice balls b/c you won't lose many and they will perform better for you at that skill level.
Loved your perspective here matt especially talking about the fear hitting over water etc. Dollar for dollar its a great conversation. For a guy who shoots 75-85 I'd rather keep playing inesis, z star and seed 3 piece balls at $50 AUD rather than paying $75-$80 AUD for prov's
That confirm my choice of change for one year. No real difference except may be more spin with Inesis with a little loss of distance and a higher launch, but i hit a french ball without paying a part of pga tour shirt or hat 😂😂!! And now a play over the lake and not left or right for preventing miss hit and splashball.😂 And the cost in France is 22,5€/dozen or 26$. I can send you a mallet if you want !!!
I was shook when I read the ball data from MGS testing. Took me a couple days of fasting, sweat lodge and heavy drinking to get my head right again. Great video. The only thing that I would add would be a camera on the green that picks up how the ball lands and reacts on the wedges. I play the Maxfli CG's from Golf Galaxy. Two dozen for $60 US and you can usually complete a survey to get $10 off so it's $50 for two boxes and those balls are excellent.
Mo's driving is absolutely incredible! I agree there isn't a lot between them and it is just personal preference or what you have confidence in mostly. I kind of split the difference and pick up used like new Pro V1s for $10-$20/dozen and play those for most rounds and save the brand new ones for special occasions.
I like the consistency of a pro v but I prefer a softer feel putting. I don’t swing hard enough to see a difference in distance off the tee. I don’t typically lose balls. This week in my bag I’m playing Titleist Velosiraptors.
great video Matt. l have been losing golf balls. ahahha. for over 50 yrs now love the game. Thing is Golf balls are like anything else it is how they are advertised and marketed. The Avg handicap of a amatuer golfer is 17. I am a 17. and l rather by 2 dozen Titliest Tru Feels or Callaway Super Softs. then one dozen Pro Vs, Callaways Chrome Softs or Taylor Made TP5 X.s. that is just me. with a 17 handicap the only difference l notice is the soft feel on approach shots which l prefer. Keep up the great vids. l have learned alot in the past 2 yrs from you. awesome job
Matty great video mate I think you some it up for me when you said pro v 1 makes me think about hooking it into the water. That’s so true I just play with Srixons I got given a box and I still have them all after a year because I honestly could not give a shit if I loose one and that mentally speaks for itself.
When I find pro v 1s I notice I hit them further, but not far enough to warrant the price increase over the Srixon Q stars. Srixons feel better for me around the greens too
I don’t even know if I can’t get Inesis here in USA. I switched to Srixon ZStar last year from Titleist...to go with my new ZX irons!......and haven’t regretted it for a second.
I buy the 5 ⭐️ ProV1 from lost golf ball sites. They are half price if not more per ball and you would have no idea they aren’t brand new. 4 dozen for under $100 with shipping and they are usually the 2019 models
Just bought my first box of Inesis Tour 900. Taking them out on the course tomorrow, first time. Been using a 2-piece ball since forever (keep winning them in local tournaments lol) but want to see if this will improve scoring. Love the review as I had the exact same feeling when I saw the numbers from the “other review” For a small difference (if any for a 16 hcp) at half the price I dont think you can really go wrong 🤷🏼♂️ As said, DYOR 👍🏻
Great test playas. It shows that price you are willing to pay for balls is the only thing to consider. Prove is just a smidgen better. Feel of the ball.
There is a difference between the two and it’s guaranteed quality. The cheaper ball will have a higher probability of production errors vs Titleist. That’s why you pay more. This is per Mygolfspy data.
From everything I have seen, (I play them on and off), the Inesis characteristics with Irons are very good! The question is it’s distance with the driver is lacking! My regular balls are the Wilson Triad and Pro V1. I balance spin my golf balls the Titleist are the most balanced ( very good quality control), except for the Maxfli Tour balls which are spun balanced at the factory! Thanks for the review!
Love this. I switched to Vice after years of playing pro-v I couldn't stomach paying $50 for a case of balls. Im also Playing my best golf ever this year......coincidence? I'll have to check out the Inesis next
A couple of good takes from this. One the Inesis is firmer and less spin. Pro V1 is softer with more spin. That’s typically what I’ve seen with Vice too. I’ve put all high end Vice balls up against the ProV1, and the ProV1 always wins me over! I’ve even gone to Taylor Made and Callaway. Plus I have just hit my first hole-in-one yesterday using a ProV1 number 5, so I’ll never change now!
Congrats Playa! I have hole in ones with a TaylorMade burner and a Srixon z star so it really doesn’t matter…personal preference. I just find pro v’s too soft chipping and putting but that’s just me? ⛳️ Hope you bought a round for good karma!🍻
@@johnhatch3071 thanks, everyone’s swing is different too many factors for one ball to be the best. I was having trouble with every ball going to high and no spin. I switched and the flight came down for me spin went up. I gained almost 10 yards (per Arccos) AND I can actually work the ball which I was never able to do before. I love putting with it, and I can spin it around the greens and take spin off! I can’t do any of that with any other ball I’ve tried. Trust me I’ve tried everything! I’ve gone cheap 2 piece to high end 4 piece balls. This just works for me! I do like the Trufeels too, I used those this past winter and liked them, just can’t spin them around the greens as much.
Small differences in averages can hide large deviations in max and min performance. The 15 yard gap in shortest drive to longest drive would be exacerbated with wind and roll-out. The higher flight with lower spin may produce more flyers and less predictability from the rough. This was a great test though. Shows that if you just want to have fun anything can work. If you want to shoot low eliminate as many variables as possible.
I think what TXG and MGS has shown in ball comps is that there are a lot more quality balls to choose from in the market. The biggest difference usually comes with driver.
avg golfers will never tell the difference, it is in their brain saying that a Pro V will make them better. I love the Titliest Tru-Feels was playing Callaway supersofts last year. But Matt is right, The Pro V makes you think and tentative around hazards because of the cost. where as a cheap ball you will just hit it so if you lose one no big deal.
I play Pro V1x Practice. Same ball but -50% cheaper. Apparently there are some cosmetic defects on the ball but I haven't been able to figure out what those defects are. The balls look perfect to me...
How weird! I just played Highlands the other day and now I stumble across this Golf Video shot there??!! Are you in Chiang Mai? I do video if you want another shooter, like getting the landings or Bcam. Anyway, good work here. I'll check your channel out more soon! (PS - I have a drone, too.)
If/When I upgrade from my Slazenger V300 Softs (48 balls for £20 at Sports Direct), I'll DMOR. I lost three balls on one hole yesterday, so it might take a while for the research to occur.
If you’re calling out the website I think you are, I think they said the Pro V1 Left Dash was the longest. Either way, what a website or YT channel says shouldn’t trump what a person’s individual swing and experience say about playing with a certain ball. Bottom line is, pick a ball you like and play it.
Best part of this sciencyy stuff research video, in the end he just plays with the Volviks. No fuss. Whaddasimplebaus. Btw I use range balls because they just simply add up in my bag hmm
Yeah bro Volvik S4 and S3 even Mo told me, man this ball is good for you. Consistent flight, distance, spin rate, distance contorl. I love them, pink and white. I will play anything really, anything with a urethane cover. Anyone who comments about this not being left dash Prov1 DID NOT READ THE ARTICLE which i did and will see the full data. I am a true scientist because I don't give two scheisse about the results because I have no skin in the game. i pay for all my own stuff
@@GolfSidekick Exactly bro, anything that’s a golf ball is good enough. We can all argue about ball tech specs and scheisse, but in the end it’s uour game that matters. Just like BDog’s journey, its setting up the golfing mental the most important before moving to balls. That is also good science made possible by GS. And talk about TH-cam influence, since golf just got legal in Malaysia, I just bought two sleeves of Volvio S4s. First time buying new stuff for myself tho, even clubs are 2nd hand 😂
Excellent video 🎉 in conclusion the cost of the Pro v1 isn't justified. I mean it's splitting hairs in the end. I'll stick with the inesis £7.99 for 12 in decathlon right now. Cheers 🍻
I'm really enjoying the Srizon Z-star XV atm, but they are pricey and only pick them up second hand, tbh though I've also played the A333 and feels about the same apart from the Zs-star feels softer on wedges imo.
Srixon AD333 890 baht dozen, buy 2 get 1 free= 593 baht dozen Supersports/Golf Challenge Inesis Tour 900 900 baht dozen in Decathlon Titleist Pro V1/V1x on sale at 1,920 baht down from 2,400. That's why I haven't tried them.
I started playing Costco brand Kirkland balls this season and really felt no real difference in my game. I had 2 sleeves of TP5 balls gifted to me early this year and I really havent found much difference at all. I'm a mid handicaper for reference.
Titleist claims through testing the biggest advantage their ball gives the amateur golfer is around the green, with partial pitches and chips. I’d have to find the TXG video where they cited the experiment. I will say I 100% agree that lost ball anxiety is real. I play a premium ball, currently V1X, and the biggest thrill I derive from playing, certainly at a detriment to my scores, is hitting bombs. I’ll openly admit that. However there are holes that I simply will not hit the big dog because the hole is tight or there’s PTSD Pond on the right that I’m all too familiar with, out of fear that I’ll splash it and I hear the cash register bell in my head. I am however trying to combat that. I am trying to play with a “respect all shots, fear none” mentality and hold myself accountable to perform under those situations. But still, the course I’m trying to conquer right now scares me away from pulling driver due to the tightness of the course. Not necessarily for fear of putting up a big number, but the ball. And I need to get over that.
Yeah true but I have been having a struggle with it so would have been a possiblity of losing balls. Mo is a machine! I have changed my backswing but have not gotten into the transition and downswing so i need to do that first...learn to shallow!
@@GolfSidekick is true mate but also I want to see how the balls responding to such a players like you or like me who still struggles with driver. Maybe with one off these 2 balls you can have less lost balls than with the other one which is also very important for players who are not machines like Mo. Thanks!
I play Srixon soft feel. Purely because I used one for a few holes and did well with it, it's a mental thing really. Found two dozen on eBay for £17 and they are immaculate apart from some pen marks
Mo gets a donation from me when you do a crowdsource to get him to the ol 🇺🇸! Love the video here "the pro v is longer playas!" What a laugh unless you put a bet on that last 3 yards! Also, chief, I broke 80 at my local hosensheissen course. What's the chosen donation method and price on that one? Sent the previous donation to PayPal for the 90 breaker.
Thanks playa! I will set something up separate for him so we can manage it better so it goes toward creating a better future and opportunity for my man Mo
I would bet that the price itself isn’t particularly important compared to the ball characteristics. A $4 soft ball and a .50 soft ball are probably more similar than the price equivalent harder balls. More succinctly, there is more difference across categories than within them.
For me I don't really notice much difference between balls off the tee, I look for something with a high spin rate so I can hold the greens. I used to play rocks when I was younger and they would always run off the back. Average golfers probably won't have much distance variation but there might be a mental thing about playing a certain ball, just more confidence. I know there's some balls that for whatever reason just give me a mental fart when I'm standing over them.
So these are $35/dz in the USA, which is between the Srixon Q-Star Tour ($32/dz) and the Srixon Z-Star ($42/dz). Just saying. I play either the Q-Star Tour or the Z-Star... whichever I can get for under $30/dz at the time.
People who trash talk inesis and complain that golf is not accecible are top trash. Inesis make superbe products at an afordable Price. #frenchbrandpower 🥳
Interesting. But how much difference is there for slower swing speeds. Say 85 to 95 mph with a driver which is where most amateurs are. Does it truly make a difference. 🤷♀
To be honest, the website did a pretty scientific test, however, they used a robot and we are not robots, so it will have a different effect on the balls. The Kirkland golf ball has been regarded as the highest spinning ball of the driver at the moment and a lot of players are reporting they are losing distance due to excess spin, however, it is not happening to my own testing. So I guess only take the review as a starting point and do your own test, unlike golf clubs, golf balls are quite cheap to test so just choose the one you like the best. Happy playing Playas
I told myself I wont spend money on golf balls until I can go a round without losing one. :) Until then, I'm going to stick with my Nitro golf balls. $5.97/dozen
Poor caddie hauling a wheelbarrow full of soil to fill the crater Pro Mo left 92 yards out in the middle of the fairway. 😬😆😆 Good comparison and I agree that if you think about losing a ball in the water due to cost it’s a bad ball for you.
Instead of paying more money for expensive golf balls, i could (stay with me know) see how my favorite balls works for me. Who cares if you hit a 7i or 8i into the green? What is wrong with taking 1 extra club? It is my game, not anyone else. Thank you for reminding us of that. I love the oncore elixir. It is not the longest off the tee but i love the feel with irons and putting.
proves exactly what I thought, it's the person not the equipment that makes the difference, just like any sport. Don't waste your money buying new clubs every couple of years and don't waste money on expensive golf balls, unless you have money to waste. Unless you are one of the best players in the world, you will not notice any difference and not be able to experience the difference, your skill has to be maxed out to start feeling equipment improvements.
Next time you do a video can you ask Mo exactly what is holding him up from getting on the Euro or PGA Tour
The guy hits a great ball and works his backside off on his game so it appears he has the potential
What is it that he feels is the area he needs to improve to live the dream on the big tour ??
Money. Opportunity. Sponsors. Mainly money. I help as much as i can but will soon call on the playas to help me get him to USA
pretty sure he plays in the asian tour events when he can... BossManMatt posts his results on the facebook group usually.
There are no events running anywhere that he can go to. He has been without tournaments for months on end now. The Golf Sidekick channel supports him occasionally but i can only do so much. I have always dreamed of getting him to the USA. HOPEFULLY in 2022 with the help of the playa community.
@@GolfSidekick we're ready to help Mo when you give us a call!
@@GolfSidekick I'm ready to help. Let's get him out here
Personally, I'm hooked on the Pro V1s...that I find in the woods. Never bought one in my life.
Nice to see a ball review without hearing "Hi guys Rick Shiels here" for once 😁 thank you for the review playa, I think I found a new ball!
If there’s anything that has to deal with golf, Rick shield will review it and make terrible jokes while doing it
I always find it funny how Rick says “but” it’s like… buhtt
But I want to know what's inside!

I switched and the flight came down for me spin went up. I gained almost 10 yards (per Arccos) AND I can actually work the ball which I was never able to do before. I love putting with it, and I can spin it around the greens and take spin off! I can’t do any of that with any other ball I’ve tried. Trust me I’ve tried everything! I’ve gone cheap 2 piece to high end 4 piece balls. This just works for me! I do like the Trufeels too, I used those this past winter and liked them, just can’t spin them around the greens as much.
Small differences in averages can hide large deviations in max and min performance. The 15 yard gap in shortest drive to longest drive would be exacerbated with wind and roll-out. The higher flight with lower spin may produce more flyers and less predictability from the rough. This was a great test though. Shows that if you just want to have fun anything can work. If you want to shoot low eliminate as many variables as possible.
I think what TXG and MGS has shown in ball comps is that there are a lot more quality balls to choose from in the market. The biggest difference usually comes with driver.
avg golfers will never tell the difference, it is in their brain saying that a Pro V will make them better. I love the Titliest Tru-Feels was playing Callaway supersofts last year. But Matt is right, The Pro V makes you think and tentative around hazards because of the cost. where as a cheap ball you will just hit it so if you lose one no big deal.
I play Callaway Supersoft. Great soft feel ball, and great price point.
I play Pro V1x Practice. Same ball but -50% cheaper. Apparently there are some cosmetic defects on the ball but I haven't been able to figure out what those defects are. The balls look perfect to me...
I Play a cheap(er) Ball for the reason you mentioned at the beginning…. If it goes into water… i dont care really…
How weird! I just played Highlands the other day and now I stumble across this Golf Video shot there??!! Are you in Chiang Mai? I do video if you want another shooter, like getting the landings or Bcam. Anyway, good work here. I'll check your channel out more soon! (PS - I have a drone, too.)
If/When I upgrade from my Slazenger V300 Softs (48 balls for £20 at Sports Direct), I'll DMOR. I lost three balls on one hole yesterday, so it might take a while for the research to occur.
I recently bought 12 inesis balls playa . Honestly not a bad ball .I was surprised how durable they are ,👌🏴⛳
If you’re calling out the website I think you are, I think they said the Pro V1 Left Dash was the longest. Either way, what a website or YT channel says shouldn’t trump what a person’s individual swing and experience say about playing with a certain ball. Bottom line is, pick a ball you like and play it.
The new pair is safe. The comment peer-pressure got to you Mo! Haha!
Inesis golf ball is my favorite golf ball hands down
So what you’re saying is my snap hook into a pond has now become an accumulating asset?
When I grow up I wanna be able to hit a ball like Mo ❤️
Best part of this sciencyy stuff research video, in the end he just plays with the Volviks. No fuss. Whaddasimplebaus.
Btw I use range balls because they just simply add up in my bag hmm
Yeah bro Volvik S4 and S3 even Mo told me, man this ball is good for you. Consistent flight, distance, spin rate, distance contorl. I love them, pink and white.
I will play anything really, anything with a urethane cover. Anyone who comments about this not being left dash Prov1 DID NOT READ THE ARTICLE which i did and will see the full data.
I am a true scientist because I don't give two scheisse about the results because I have no skin in the game. i pay for all my own stuff
@@GolfSidekick Exactly bro, anything that’s a golf ball is good enough. We can all argue about ball tech specs and scheisse, but in the end it’s uour game that matters. Just like BDog’s journey, its setting up the golfing mental the most important before moving to balls. That is also good science made possible by GS.
And talk about TH-cam influence, since golf just got legal in Malaysia, I just bought two sleeves of Volvio S4s. First time buying new stuff for myself tho, even clubs are 2nd hand 😂
TP5 For the win. Love the review
Holy! Mo's dispersion with his driver is better than mine with a 60
Excellent video 🎉 in conclusion the cost of the Pro v1 isn't justified. I mean it's splitting hairs in the end. I'll stick with the inesis £7.99 for 12 in decathlon right now. Cheers 🍻
Great choice man
I use the 9.99 USD Inesis Distance 100. :) So great to see the fancier 30 USD Inesis featured here.
All great balls
Waddatest. Thank you Matt and Pro Mo.
Great review. I use Slazenger balls. Dirt cheap, frees up my mind from worrying about losing expensive balls.
Wadda stress free life
Mo is a beast, especially on that driver.
I'm really enjoying the Srizon Z-star XV atm, but they are pricey and only pick them up second hand, tbh though I've also played the A333 and feels about the same apart from the Zs-star feels softer on wedges imo.
Srixon AD333 890 baht dozen, buy 2 get 1 free= 593 baht dozen Supersports/Golf Challenge
Inesis Tour 900 900 baht dozen in Decathlon
Titleist Pro V1/V1x on sale at 1,920 baht down from 2,400.
That's why I haven't tried them.
Lol. I was just about to comment how sexy pro mo’s 8 irons were because they were the exact same and then you went up and they were the exact same!
I started playing Costco brand Kirkland balls this season and really felt no real difference in my game. I had 2 sleeves of TP5 balls gifted to me early this year and I really havent found much difference at all. I'm a mid handicaper for reference.
I did notice a difference with Kirklands. My life they spin off wedges. At least the V1.0, the v2.0s are apparently a bit better.
Pro Mo is a machine!
Titleist claims through testing the biggest advantage their ball gives the amateur golfer is around the green, with partial pitches and chips. I’d have to find the TXG video where they cited the experiment. I will say I 100% agree that lost ball anxiety is real. I play a premium ball, currently V1X, and the biggest thrill I derive from playing, certainly at a detriment to my scores, is hitting bombs. I’ll openly admit that. However there are holes that I simply will not hit the big dog because the hole is tight or there’s PTSD Pond on the right that I’m all too familiar with, out of fear that I’ll splash it and I hear the cash register bell in my head. I am however trying to combat that. I am trying to play with a “respect all shots, fear none” mentality and hold myself accountable to perform under those situations. But still, the course I’m trying to conquer right now scares me away from pulling driver due to the tightness of the course. Not necessarily for fear of putting up a big number, but the ball. And I need to get over that.
It would have been great if we could have seen a comparison between these 2 balls on your driver Matt. Thanks anyway for this welcome test!
Yeah true but I have been having a struggle with it so would have been a possiblity of losing balls. Mo is a machine!
I have changed my backswing but have not gotten into the transition and downswing so i need to do that first...learn to shallow!
@@GolfSidekick is true mate but also I want to see how the balls responding to such a players like you or like me who still struggles with driver. Maybe with one off these 2 balls you can have less lost balls than with the other one which is also very important for players who are not machines like Mo. Thanks!
Should have taken some putts from different lengths too. I would like to see if they roll the same or feel the same off the putter.
Mo said they are the same. Didnt include it because i thought added no value. But yeah they are the same
Who the hell said it was the “worst ball ever”!? The Inesis balls are great. I play the soft 500s. V similar to Srixon soft feel
I play Srixon soft feel. Purely because I used one for a few holes and did well with it, it's a mental thing really. Found two dozen on eBay for £17 and they are immaculate apart from some pen marks
Do you ever get Handmaids Tale vibes with the caddies? Those hats though.
Mo gets a donation from me when you do a crowdsource to get him to the ol 🇺🇸! Love the video here "the pro v is longer playas!" What a laugh unless you put a bet on that last 3 yards!
Also, chief, I broke 80 at my local hosensheissen course. What's the chosen donation method and price on that one? Sent the previous donation to PayPal for the 90 breaker.
Thanks playa!
I will set something up separate for him so we can manage it better so it goes toward creating a better future and opportunity for my man Mo
If you're Mo, those 8 yards off the tee are worth the money, especially since he probably only loses 2 balls a year.
For most of us, maybe not.
It’s the Left Dash that you needed to test ☺️
This is the left dash
I would bet that the price itself isn’t particularly important compared to the ball characteristics. A $4 soft ball and a .50 soft ball are probably more similar than the price equivalent harder balls.
More succinctly, there is more difference across categories than within them.
For me I don't really notice much difference between balls off the tee, I look for something with a high spin rate so I can hold the greens. I used to play rocks when I was younger and they would always run off the back. Average golfers probably won't have much distance variation but there might be a mental thing about playing a certain ball, just more confidence. I know there's some balls that for whatever reason just give me a mental fart when I'm standing over them.
That’s the way playa
99% of players wouldn’t be able to tell the damn difference between any balls.
So these are $35/dz in the USA, which is between the Srixon Q-Star Tour ($32/dz) and the Srixon Z-Star ($42/dz). Just saying. I play either the Q-Star Tour or the Z-Star... whichever I can get for under $30/dz at the time.
Yeah no need to play these, Q Star Tour are jsut as good, and I LOVE THEM.
I like the Srixon balls they seem to be the best for me for the cost I don't want to pay the pro v rate....
Prov1x is my preferred ball but if I’m going cheap I’ll go Kirkland
I love Kirkland
@@GolfSidekick I bought my starter club set from Costco. Some callaway xtreme. Served me well to get into the game 5 years ago.
Great comparison video. But I feel it lacked more red arrows and shocked open mouth face thumbnail.
Soft hands. Wats the feel when ball contact club face?
People who trash talk inesis and complain that golf is not accecible are top trash. Inesis make superbe products at an afordable Price. #frenchbrandpower 🥳
Interesting. But how much difference is there for slower swing speeds. Say 85 to 95 mph with a driver which is where most amateurs are. Does it truly make a difference. 🤷♀
To be honest, the website did a pretty scientific test, however, they used a robot and we are not robots, so it will have a different effect on the balls. The Kirkland golf ball has been regarded as the highest spinning ball of the driver at the moment and a lot of players are reporting they are losing distance due to excess spin, however, it is not happening to my own testing. So I guess only take the review as a starting point and do your own test, unlike golf clubs, golf balls are quite cheap to test so just choose the one you like the best. Happy playing Playas
What's your preference on scope/range finder?
Inesis
Bushnell
Precision pro
I told myself I wont spend money on golf balls until I can go a round without losing one. :) Until then, I'm going to stick with my Nitro golf balls. $5.97/dozen
This is easily the best way to look at it
I wish I could hit a driver that consistently.
SPACK! ... SPACK! ... SPACK!
Awesome content as always!
"that's solid nasty" - gonna use this next time I am out
Poor caddie hauling a wheelbarrow full of soil to fill the crater Pro Mo left 92 yards out in the middle of the fairway. 😬😆😆
Good comparison and I agree that if you think about losing a ball in the water due to cost it’s a bad ball for you.
Caddie loved it. Hardly had to do anything all day as we just moved aorund on carts acting the fool as scientists on the front line
What model was the range finder?
Instead of paying more money for expensive golf balls, i could (stay with me know) see how my favorite balls works for me. Who cares if you hit a 7i or 8i into the green?
What is wrong with taking 1 extra club?
It is my game, not anyone else.
Thank you for reminding us of that.
I love the oncore elixir. It is not the longest off the tee but i love the feel with irons and putting.
TP5 is the best ball out there these days. Pro V1 is old hat. haha.
proves exactly what I thought, it's the person not the equipment that makes the difference, just like any sport. Don't waste your money buying new clubs every couple of years and don't waste money on expensive golf balls, unless you have money to waste. Unless you are one of the best players in the world, you will not notice any difference and not be able to experience the difference, your skill has to be maxed out to start feeling equipment improvements.
This guy is a beast
You should try the Bridgestone tiger playa
These balls I can't seem to find here in the USA!!
No need playa. Snell is widely available there
Thanks, I currently use the Kirkland V2 golf balls.@@GolfSidekick
