6 over 78 today with the Yellow Gamer. One of my wedge shots spun back five feet on a 110 yd shot. I could play these for the rest of the summer.

 

Finally got around to trying the Gamer Soft. It's a keeper, one of the better performers from green to tee that I have tried.

 

Super deal on those D2 Feel!! May have to hoard a few more boxes! Pennies for a great performing ball.

I prefer the gamer soft for a better feel and appropriate for my slower swing speed.

DSG has prior generation top flites currently at $7.98 per dzn (or 15 pack if you go with the D2 line). Just ordered a few more regular gamer dzn (sadly it's the generation before the yellow and the tour are store pick up only and the closest was over 100 miles away from me).

I know some people have to have the newest generation ball, but I'm not one of those people. Just re-stocked on D2 Feel's which I've been pleased with.

Hard to pass up at that price.

 

I also like the D2 feel- great ball, and especially for those prices!

Feels softer putting and chipping and on all clubs. I haven't played it extensively to make a critical evaluation of performance.

 

I ordered a few more boxes of the clearance Gamers and assorted D2's. Kinda sad I reached the point that I really ought not buy any more.

I think I'll have to order some at that price as well..

 

I made this topic back in april and I'm still gaming tf only, and still really happy with them.

 

Today on the front i had 15 putts with the d2 distance, switched to tm superdeep at the turn just for giggles.. Had 23 putts on the back :/

Stupid stupid lol

They are still available online, free shipping. The link is posted above.

 

I was on vacation and played a few rounds...

 

Bridgestone E6. 84 Was striping full shots. Had trouble getting the feel for putting distance. Could have been my eyes tricking me on mountain greens, but the ball didn't feel right off the putter.

 

Top Flite Gamer Soft. 80. Should have broke 80. Ball performed great. Left a lot of putts a little short and messed up a couple bunker shots.

 

Top Flite Gamer yellow. 79. Could have gone low that day. Had eagle 2 from 80 yards. Ball felt great putting but still had too many putts. Practiced after the round and realized I was not staying down through the stroke.

 

Top Flite D2 Feel. 88. Started the day with a 3 putt pin high from 10 feet. (tricky putt, huge break) Then missed 6 footer for par save on #2. 3 putt on 6 for a double on reachable par five. Lost the D2 (or the ladies picked it up) on #10. Switched to other balls and lost 2 more. Really annoying golf day. :-(

 

Callaway X2 Hot+/Taylor Made Burner 78. I didn't think I liked the hard, clicky feel of this ball putting but one putt the first 2 greens. Proceeded to hit in the woods right of third green then put the Taylor Made into play. (Played as a water hazard penaly then holed chip for par) Still had a couple 3 putts and a couple goofy chips but nothing worse than bogey. Came real close to a few birdies and finally made one on 17.

 

It probably doesn't matter which ball as much as good putting, keeping it in play, and avoiding goofy greenside play.

Try the Gamer Soft and Gamer Tour too. I've been playing the Gamer Soft and have been getting the longest drives ever with them. Have 2 new boxes of Gamer Tour I'm gonna try for more green side spin. I'm hoping The GT doesn't give up too much distance to the GS.

 

Are these better than Titliest SoLo at same price point???

Titleist TSi2 10* Driver Tensei Blue 55S
TM Sim2 Max 16.5* 3 wood Tensei Blue 60S

TM SIM2 Titanium 5 Wood Tensei Blue 65S

TM SIM2 MAx 4 Hybrid Ventus Stiff shaft
Ping G410 5-UW Alta Graphite Shafts
Vokey SM8 56* sand wedge, Vokey SM9 60* lob wedge
Black Lab Oil Can 350g custom grind by "Geo" putter

C&L 350 Milled Oil Can Putter (3 of them!)

Small update.. Played 18 today solely with the yellow d2 distance start to finish, ended up breaking my previous low score of 90 today with an 84.. And that really should have been a 80 without 2 boneheaded penalties and 2 lousy chips.

 

The distance is hands down my favorite ball right now, I'm extremely happy with my choice, the ball just flat out does everything so well.

Those D2 series can still be had for $8 for 15 pack (prior generation white)

I started my round today with the Top Flight XL orange. Made a nice birdie on par 3 2nd hole..,hit it OB into someones yard on the next par 3. Not the balls fault.

Are you sure? It's always the balls fault..........or so I hear from people on the course.

The Gamer Soft is a much better ball than the DT SoLo regardless of price. The new DT TruSoft is an improvement but is not up to the 3 piece Gamer Soft.

I know this sounds ridiculous and I will be flamed mercilessly by the elitist fanboys, but imho the original d2 distance plays and feels exactly the same as the ProV1X except for bite on approaches and short game. I have always been a tour ball only player, but I used to play the d2 exclusively for about a year. I loved the solid feel off driver amd irons, and got enough bite for most of the courses I regularly play. I was majorly pissed when they stopped making them, the Freak that replaced it was a major disappointment. Another example of an OEM fixing something that wasn't broken.

I haven't played TF simce, but if there is a current ball like the original d2 distamce I'd love to know.

Just scored 4 dozen Gamer Tours for $7.98 each on Dick's website.

 

Link? Or trolling?

 

I'd guess trolling since I've checked all day & never saw anything...........even if it had truth to it, it was the old version.

 

I'm fine with the old version. I'd pick up at least 5 dozen at that price. I don't see the point of trolling this thread, but I guess I haven't been around here long enough to know how things work lol.

I like to post a link for others to take advantage of any deal I spot.........which I did above........others may just forget & post something in the excitement of getting a really good deal.

 

I didn't care for the old ones as the covers would cut really easily for me. Wanted to try the new ones so for $15 I'll go for a dozen for now.

Lack of durability reviews are the only reason I may not grab the gamer tours. If the new ones are improved, I may spring for them then.
