Didn't try the driver yet, I'll try it next week. For some reason when we get past September the distance goes down a bit with the weather. What I'll do is hit it up against the pro-v.

I think I might have hit one earlier in the year because I can remember being too far.

    I have lost about 7 or 8 mph . Getting older and the way I play now. Controlled swing keeping my head behind the ball and concentrating on square contact. I now can get through a year with a dozen and a half balls so I have more in my bag than I can use. Just about every brand you can name. For me the pro v is the shortest of the driver. I have not much concern with iron distance I just take an extra iron when in doubt. I don't worry about backspin, if your good enough to hit it six yards past the pin and spin it back you should be good enough to hit it six feet short and roll it up. I like good crisp distance off the tee and a soft feel putting. I used a ball called the fuzz for a while and loved it. I switched to Wilson zip and it does what I look for. I could play the Pinnacle sifts and have no problem. Also like Top Flit hammer.

    Not in the western suburbs of Chicago. Regular price regardless of color.
    Instead of $3/doz. balls, I ended up buying clearance pastries.... 😞 😄

        I was in Wallyworld earlier this week and was looking at the balls, and these balls. Comparing prices vs. box quantity, etc.. Then I started mentally comparing my swingspeed vs. John's.
        Bought a new pair of pants instead, and left. Figure I probably bought about the same size pants that John may wear, so I'm happy with that. I wouldn't come close to hitting the ball as far as he does.

        I try to find a pair of 38's that where mixed in the 36 section. Good for my ego.

        Yea, I went to another Walmart in my area and although they had no white ones left, the sign still said $15.47. They still had one box of yellow.

          For what it's worth I got a chance to play the P. Rush yesterday and for me, I'd say they're worth the $3.00 I paid. Nothing out of the ordinary for me. I probably don't have the SS like Typhoon to get the increase. I gave a couple sleeves to a buddy and the rest will be practice balls.
          What was interesting, I found an Ultra 500, a ball I normally would never consider playing and it was consistently 15 yards longer for me off the tee, and a couple 20 yards.
          Played a Volvik Vivid, too and that one was good for driver distance too, but not near the Ultra. The Ultra was the only ball I've ever played that I really didn't like in the past. May have to give it a shot.

          I'm dying to order a dozen Penfold Red Hearts so I can play Bond's ball. Probably end up costing thirty bucks with shipping.

          I'm not a real ball snob, but there are several brands that I usually just leave sitting where I find them. Pinnacle has always been one of them. Now you have me thinking. I might have to give one of these a go since it doesn't sound like much of an investment.

          Speaking of "fringe" balls that seem to perform, I hit a yellow Volvik I found the other day (although these balls are getting to be increasingly less "fringish"). I really liked the way it performed. But the ball that has always been crazy long for me is the Nitro. I have always wondered if they are even legal since I consistently hit them longer than other balls.

          (Admittedly, I've only hit a few of them that I have found. Haven't hit one in years.)

            It's so funny with balls. I have hit the Nitro's and find them shorter than most. I do agree on the Volvik's though. They seem a little longer for me. I really don't see much noticeable difference between balls, distance wise. I even tried the MG Senior balls whch are non conforming and supposed to be long. Not for me. I get more out of a Titleist Velocity.

                garyt1957 Are Titleist Velocities the ones with the orange number? I haven't hit many of those, but love them when I do find them.

                  Ha! With my pant size I can barely call myself a full grown man...29" waist.😀

                  My iron swing speed is really nothing special. 6 iron I believe is 92, but I'll check. Driver is different...

                    I'm hitting driver like garbage right now but I think the gains are only irons it seems. Guy in our group with a slower ss just tried one the last 2 times and he's hitting it further. Second shot on one of the holes he was 10-15 yards past where he was looking.

                      Typhoon😱 back later...........heading to Wallyworld...........🏎

                      btw.....everyone in 'your group' has a slower ss. duh!

                        Typhoon maybe you are getting a tick more compression with them off the irons and gaining distance. I find that a ball that’s too soft gives me less distance ( perhaps just more spin) off the tee than a ball hats better matched for my swing speed.

                          Typhoon I’d buy that SS at a 6 iron based on your driver distance. At one point I could get to the low 100’s with the 6 iron... absolutely no control, but I could haha. I’m in the mid 90’s on a regular swing. One can let rip a bit more with a driver than iron for sure.

                            I'm thinking my 6i speed is probably slower than my cue speed when playing pool. 😭
