Most Underrated Ball You Ever Played?

Recommended Posts

I haven't seen anyone mention one of my favorites that came out at the end of the 90s - the TAYLORMADE INERGEL PRO. Great feel and spin around the greens.

Also have to give props to the Maxfli Revolution, Hogan Tour Deep and Nike RZN Platinum

Spalding Tour Edition from the late ‘80s early ‘90s I think it was. 2-piece ball with a soft cover and amazing spin that predated the Pro V1 by over a decade. Way ahead of its time, not sure what kept it from really taking off.

I was banging my head against the wall trying to remember that ball. I played it all the time. I guess just not enough to remember it though.

Lots of good balls mentioned, the wound DT, the original Zip, Metalmatrix and even the Wilson Prostaff of the 80’s.

Heres a couple more,

Ram Balata Of The 90’s

Hogan 392LS, an almost direct copy of the wound DT

Wilson Smartcore series was one I miss, Balata for courses with small elevated greens, Spin for most courses and Straight Distance for windy and wet conditions.

Noodle Soft....absolutely the best 2 piece ball ever made. long and strait off the tee, workable, and pretty darn grabby on greens..14.99 for 15 balls at wal-mart...and then TM replaced them with "the long and soft" and it's just not the same ball...

I still play my best golf with the noodle soft but I can't find them anywhere...

 

oh well...TM project (a) is a close second...a popular ball, but honestly, this ball is basically the same as a TP5 for less money...great balls

For me the Precept Tour Premium was by far the best ball I played in the 90's and early 2000's. Had a staff deal with them and got 13 dozen per year (who needs 13 doz a year?), half my son's high school team were using them.Then as usual, in their infinite wisdom, "they made it better"...not... they ruined it in the 2nd iteration of that ball. An honorable mention has to go to the old school Slazenger Balata ball. Much better than the Slazenger rocks of today.

After that guy in Alabama or Georgia won the state senior amateur with that ball (Precept Lady) we couldn't keep them in stock. They were really a great performing golf ball as were the EV series balls.
