D2Feel Fans...

I found one of these Hammer Controls on the course today and played it for two holes. I had been playing the 2020 Gamer for the front nine before giving this one a go. The hammer control definitely has less spin off the irons and wedges. Ive been playing Srixon XV’s for more than a year and the new Gamer doesn’t seem like a drop off at all. The HC on the other hand would be a big adjustment.

Good to know. I have only played the 2020 gamer at a pitch and putt and honestly didnt notice much of a difference from those distances compared to the HC. Whearas playing a qstar tour I notice a huge difference from those distances.

I have so many different balls to mess with right now because of all the sales, but when I'm playing serious I just stick to my HC. Shot three PBs this week and all with the HC.

Played the QST3 today, but played really poorly so couldn't really evaluate it. Loved it around the greens though.

Went out and got 3 dozen Gamers for $40 at DSG. Normally a D2+ Feel user, but want to see if the new Gamer will give me a few more yards off the tee as my drives always seem to be about 10-20 yds sort of my partner. We have similar SS. He may be 1-3 mph faster.

Wouldn't buy them at $20/12 (I am cheap), but for just over a $1 a ball and on a courses that I don't have a propensity for losing them, they may reduce my score by a 3-4 strokes.

Will report back after a few rounds with them compared to the D2+ Feel.

I really miss the Gamer Yellow, but I like the D2 Feel yellow and am now a big fan of the HC yellow as well. Posted on another thread here a little while back today on how impressed I was with the HC. I still have some D2 feels and gamers to go through because I like those also, but they’re taking a back seat at the moment while I put some more rounds in with the HC.

yeah when you look at the boxes it seems you are giving up a lot of distance with the Hammer Control for just a small uptick in the feel and spin ratings as compared to the distance ball. I prefer the soft/feel/control version of a ball because I like a ball that feels softer when hit, but I'd be curious to see how much of a difference there really is. I still think the HC is the closest of all these balls to the D2+ Feel.

I'm also interested to see how much better the gamer is as it's basically the best of everything as far as their ratings are concerned. I should have grabbed 2 boxes during the BOGO a few days ago.

It really is close to the D2 Feel, if not just rebranded. Plays the way I remember, and I will give up a little distance for more control, especially around the greens. This ball does check, although not a ProV, you can adjust for the rollout. Comes off my CBX2's nicely, with light checking, with some roll. Feels good, and can judge for distance easily off my wedges. Spend a lot of time in the fairway with this ball...

Have played 4 rounds with the HC yellow, and this ball is really pretty good around the greens. Yes, there is rollout, but it is controllable with a good strike. Had plenty of chips to 6-8 feet in my round yesterday. Also, coming in from 150, had a lot of shots sticking 4-5 feet from pitch mark. For a "very reasonably" priced ball, you can't ask much more from this ball! You still have to execute the shot correctly! It's not a ProV, but it seems to work well for me. Lost 1 ball(water), but not a big deal, as to the cost of this ball. My gamer for the season! 

FOOTNOTE: There are no HC Yellows to be had in any if the Chicago area stores(Dicks,GG), last time I was on the web. Glad I stocked up-bought 4 boxes @ 2 for $30...

Had DSG $20 off $100 plus $10 rewards cash.  Bought 4 doz. Maxfli Tour for $75.  That's 2/$37.  10x better ball.  I still have 3 boxes D2 Feel for soft Florida course when I go in August when it rains everyday.  Love the Maxfli Tour feel and performance.  98% of what a ProV-1 is at more than half the price.  At that price I paid $1.56/ball vs. $4.17 for PV and $.80 for Hammer Control at best sale price or $1.46 at the current sale price.  w/o coupon Maxfli Tour 4 doz. pack comes out to $2.19/ball.

The recent HC 2fer deal was 2 for $30. That was like ~$6 savings off regular price. Now its 2 for $35. $17.99 a box regular price, so now you save ~$1 on the 2fer. A lot of somebodies is playing this ball, because they are hard to come by. Going to wait and see if they do the 2 for $30 again in the fall. I have 4 boxes right now, so I think I'm good for the season. I don't play every weekend. Really like this ball!!🙂
