Cheap Balls

My normal ball is Bridgestone Tour B330, but I picked up some well cheap 'Dunlop Tour Pro' today £8 for 2 dozen. Worst case scenario I'll be using them on the practice area, but going to give them a try in the morning.

Feel crap, look crap so expecting crap results too, but still going to give it a whirl. What results would you expect to see?

A shattered driver face!!

havent tried them yet but apparently this new golf ball has pretty impressive results. French Manafacturer i think.

Doc

Hope it's not too cold up your way in the morning, could be some numb fingers after hitting those little bad boys!

Talking of balls, I've bought a sleeve each of Nike 20XI and Callaway Tour this week, will be trying them out on the course over the weekend. If they are any good I'll post a write up.

I tried the 20XI X last week. Nice ball, probably a bit longer but not as good a feel as the Pro V1-X. I didn't get on with the S, though that may be because I bought them off eBay back in October and they might have been knock-offs. Be interesting to see what you make of them, D4S.

Best of luck Doc!...personally I don't even like using crap balls to practice with, nothing like the feel of a decent ball off the clubface to help boost the confidence a bit

Plenty of your comments had me bricking it, so carried a couple of Bridgestone's, just in case. I have to say that the balls were'nt that bad!!! Not a bad feel off the club, and got plenty of elevation and seemed to play rather well for 30p a ball. The conditions were gloopy, so wherever the ball carried, that was where it finished up, so not sure if I lost any distance. But not a bad ball for the price, and deffo a decent option when you consider they were a tenth of the price of my usual ball. So I'll use these cheapies for the odd knock with Mrs Doc and practice etc.

Wonder how much a ball at Dunlop costs to produce against a Titliest ball. I'm going to hazard a guess here and say that Titliest can produce them cheaper and will make a huge margin. I'll also go so far as say that most golferes wouldn't know the difference between the two

I think this subject could be fun

I have changed my mind on balls in the last 2 years. I used to be a play anything couldn't care less ball whoore. But now, I am much more choosy. I do not get a lot of spin on my wedges, so I like the pro V1. Just seems more controllable, but I also like the wilson staff DS3.

Biggest ball snob on the board - used to be LJ - don't know about now, but LJ would only play bridgestones. I've seen him not even pick up a pro v1 finder!!

I too was a Bridgestone man, but since I got this new swing which gives me more club head speed ...... I'm back with my fitter in a few weeks so he can check my clubs over, and intend having a ball fitting done again. So whatever the results from that, will be the main ball for me.

Make sure you count 'em after he is done Doc!
