Can we add best two piece ball? Gamersoft!

[Greenie]

My vote goes to the Taylor Made Inergel. I loved the 3 ball plastic container they came in. I still use the containers. I threw the balls away though. I'm glad they were freebies.

 

Actually I like the Wilson Staff Elite, and Ti balls. Maxfli Revolution were very good balls too.

Another fan of the Maxfli Revolution. Played my best golf back in the day with the Wilson Ultra 432.

Even though I don't play it, I'm going to have to say the Titleist Pro V mainly because it revolutionized EVERYTHING

 

I'm sorry, but just No.

 

It was the fifth, maybe sixth, solid core ball brought to market.  And, built upon IP infringement.

 

Any "revolutionary status" applied to it appears to be due to the number of folks who switched to it when it came out.  Titlist was paying approx. 65% of the PGA Tour to use their product.  The shift of that group to a new product only means the new ball was better than the product being previously used by that 65%.

 

Or, just perceived as better.

Or it could have been that Billy Andrade won with it in the first tournament that it was used in.

That's happened with a LOT of things in professional golf.  Balls, clubs, shoes....

Nike One Gold is the one ball I used to hoard, and still have a supply of. That ball was so good for me for such a long time.

Precept EV Extra Spin and the Precept MC Spin were GREAT balls when the switch began to solid golf balls.

 

First ball that I started buying specifically was the Precept MC 392 (I think it was just called the MC or MC 392 before they went to "MC spin").  Then afterwards, the U-Tri Tour.  Great balls, soft, durable, and less expensive than similar balls from "bigger" names.

the U-Tri Tour was a great ball

I played my best golf with-

 

1.  Callaway HX Red

2.  Taylormade Red LDP

3.  Original Snell MTB

 

[TKS]

Some thoughts:

3rd gen Wilson FGTour, absolute control.

Maxfli A10/Slazenger Players, last of the best wound balls, wonderful off the putter, long for their day.

TM LDP Red, best driving ball that had enough green side spin for a crisp feel.

These seem to be receiving a lot of love!

Maxfli HT balata or original wound Maxfli Revolution.   A lot of nig names played the HT.  Remember watching Jack and Freddie at the Memorial years ago both using it in the skins game they used to have.

 

B330S was also a favorite of mine.

Best older ball. Pic for attention-

 

 

Best recent ball(s) - 2019 TP5 family. The TP5x is the longest tour-level ball I’ve used. The TP5 was the best overall ball. It’s use of multiple layers to produce club-specific flights is unmatched. It’s like every few years, TM puts out a world-beating ball, then dumbs it down for no apparent reason…

 

Best current ball - V1x. No other ball is able to discriminate driver and short iron flight and spin as well. It has the best “stopping” characteristics of any ball.

Loved the Red and completely agree on the 2019 TP5 line. I played the TP5 for 2 years. Ball was perfect. The 2021 models were huge failures and a major step back. Durability and spin was complete mess.

My fondest memories and ball I loved most was the Maxfli Revolution as well.  I was also a very big fan of the original Callaway Hex Chrome ball (before they added the "soft" to it).

 

 

 

Callaway Hex Chrome + was awesome. Loved that one as well.

[Godfather]

Lots of good ones, but here are three under-the-radar balls that stick in my mind. 

 

 - Dunlop Total Performance

 

 - TaylorMade Burner TP

 

 - Nike One Tour D

 

I doubt I’d play any of these today, but good memories with all of them.  
 

The Dunlop is an odd choice I know, but I shot some amazing rounds with it! I don’t even know the construction of it. 
 

The Burner TP had a cult following for awhile. 
 

Nike Tour D was solid and really my gateway ball into premium balls. I think I jumped to the original Z-star and later generations for years with a pit stop here or there with ProV1 and ProV1x. I wish I could get a ball with the softness of the zstar, but with more mid-iron spin. Equipment going low spin has me playing firmer balls than I’d like.

~2003 SLAZENGER 420P POWER-CONTROL BALLS!

[AKA_Double J]

For me it was the Chrome Soft Truvis yellow "sports matter" edition. I liked that vintage of CS ball the best, and the color combo for me was even better (easier to locate on the ground and in the air) than the yellow/black Truvis. 

[CyFan]

1970s Acushnet Club Special or Ram 3D

 

affordable performance when I was a kid.   Everything since is just a ball with lots of marketing hype.  I buy into the hype, mind you.  But all of todays balls are top notch. 

[progolferch]

Nike One TW. I have fond memories of that ball. Good distance with great spin. Loved the Maxfli Revolutions as well. Great balls.

Best Performing Ball:  Nike RZN Platinum

Best Feeling Ball: Titleist Professional 90 or the Callaway Rule 35 Blue

 

I remember the Rule 35 feeling a bit like a marshmallow and when I was using a White Hot with it.....felt amazing.

That followed even to the HX Blue, both 3 piece and 2 piece versions.  A friend of mine used to call it the HX Goo.

 

And good lord, did they spin.

Fond memories of the Precept MC Extra Spin and then the Top Flight Gamer a few years later.  It may just be that I was still in my "improving somewhat rapidly" phase of my golf journey and so I simply have fond memories of those new shots and personal best scores, but whatever.  Those two balls represent a wonderful time of my golfing life.
