Do DISTANCE GOLF BALLS Actually Go Farther? 

we will do a comprehensive ball fitting for sure, won't be a bracket style though

I think they should just do a bracket for every club in the bag lol it’s just too entertaining 😂👍

Jared Votaw yeah, but using a bracket isn’t fair, the second best club/ball could be the one who lost in the first round against the best club/ball

Black our the brand and type ball with a sharpie and do a blind test on him!

Totally agree

Agree I've been gaming this for 2 yrs now and played pro v and cally chrome soft and I get better results with the wilson. I even use dx2 soft in the winter and again that is unbelievable for price and performance. I play off 6 and have no issues gaming cheaper balls. Egos get in the way when playing expensive balls and unless your a pro or low single handicap golfer you will not benefit from balls like the pro v, cally chrome, or tmade tp5

If they played twice and the pro v1 was the second ball used, the high handicapper had more practice so obviously they would play better the second round

The study is suspect TO SAY THE LEAST

Yeah I have a hard time believing your average high handicapper would save 4 shots over 9 holes just by getting a little more green side spin. For starters players are generally swinging with such low swing speeds around the green(particularly high handicappers that don't play flop shots) that the differences in spin numbers would be very negligible, certainly not enough to make any massive difference. Maybe and I'm being extremely generous here maybe you might get 10 ft more roll out on a PROV1 vs. Velocity, but even if that were the case that doesn't mean that you are gonna be 10ft closer to the hole just cause you used a ProV1. There are times where hackers could've benefited by having the ball check up earlier but also times where they would've been better off if it rolled out more. Finally if you're a high handicapper chances are you aren't playing tour level courses with tour level pin locations, more than likely you are playing courses that have accessible pins that allow you to play for the ball to release a little bit so you can factor in the ball rolling out more and adjust accordingly.

naw mythbusters would have build a robotic arm to take the same swing every time and have tried it at many different swing speeds.

Brett Leisy 😂haha well you have a point. They would also have blown something up whilst wearing headgear and talking very American English. So I guess there are not many similarities 😉

interesting, also quite a nice high spinning ball so it makes sense with what we've seen in our testing

TXG Tour Experience Golf Made first hole in one with Pro V1x yesterday. Never playing another ball.

Seriously let’s see the S4 and there distance ball compared to Tp5 or Pro V1

@@jqmk18glock17 I am thinking the S4 will be about the same. I would be surprised if it has higher compression and more ball speed. Love to see it though.

To clarify: just as a spinnier ball launches lower as a side effect of increased friction, on an open-faced shot, the same principle applies horizontally, where the spinnier ball launches more in line with the club path because of the friction pulling the ball that way. Harder covers get that “weak” flight that pops up and goes right with no spin on flops, softer covers allow you to aim a little straighter

Bear Long range if you are a new golfer who wants a premium ball have a look at Vice Pro balls. You have to buy bulk (5 dozen) to get the best price but as you say being new you may lose a few. If I had the money, Bridgestone XS or Pro V1X but for the money, great value. Lots of others out there as well like Snell golf. Enjoy your golf 🏌🏻‍♂️🙂

Exactly this. Isn't PROV1 (and other premiums for that matter) the kind of ball that performs optimal when the club head speed goes over a certain point? And the "distance" ball could actually be longer when hit around that 90MPH mark for example? That's how I've understood at least (read or heard somewhere). But that study result was interesting. I know I liked playing PROV1 (found one or two and bought the "practice" balls a couple of times) and I've been preferring softer balls otherwise too (Wilson DX2/Duo soft, e5 etc.) for the chipping feel. Less heartbreaking to lose a ball that cost 25$ a dozen than 50$ a dozen (and I tend to lose more than one per round).

I’m around there, and in my experience this carries over in general. Driver distance they’re similar, but spin and launch differences occur very much like TXG represents. Best idea is to test for yoursef though!

Argus And also ask if the distance ball gives more help to someone whose strike is less than consistent

No problem at all, glad it was helpful for you. 👍🏻

@@clubchampionmedia Thank you so much!!! Also thank you for everything you guys do!!!

my go to for scrambles. Would rather lose this than a Pro V

Makes sense

Totally agree. With 119 mph swing speed you would expect the pro v to jump off the face. My other issue despite loving the video is that the velocity should be tested against a Titleist more in line with its price point, say the nxt or a ball tha claims to be softer

s4 seems like the real deal

BRANDS DAMMIT BRANDS!!!!!

I was playing a matte ball once and a golf equipment rep in my group told me they were garbage. After hitting it well on the first 4 to 5 holes he asked to look at it. Seem to work just as well as regular.

I don’t mind cheap balls but the top flite XLs are so bad. Try picking up a box of cheap bridgestones and I think you will like them a lot better. I have no idea about the actual numbers but the feel of the Bridgestone is so much better.

I love z stars. I get tons of spin on them and feel great off the driver. and definitely a better price point than prov1s and such

Agreed. If I ever get good enough where I don't consistently lose the ball, I will definitely consider this research valuable, but until I can stop slicing and shanking the ball on every other shot, I will stick with the cheap ball.

If you have swing speed of Matt that is. Most players have much, much slower swing speeds.

@@The_Osprey that's true. Would like to see the same test at same a "Normal" swing speed!
