  1. Because we don't have GC Quad, we have to work with feel and cold weather like today. (rain, wind and 10 degrees c)
     
    Our first shots, we compared the balls with the Taylormade TP, Titleist DT truesoft and the Titleist Velocity.
    We both agreed that we loved the feel of the Pearl balls so much, we didn't need to compare them at all!
     
    We did 5 different tests:
     
    Driver: Feel & distance
    Long iron: Feel & distance
    Short Iron: Feel & spin
    Chip/ Pitch: Feel & spin
    Putt: Feel & roll
     
    For me:
     
    PG
    Driver:Feel not bad high "ping", distance about right.
    Long irons: Feel again a bit high ping, distance is fine.
    Short irons: Feel again a pit rough, spin better than i expected. for the short irons this ball was longer.
    Chip/ Pitch: Feel is just losing it here, spin aswel. But compared to other, 2 piece balls like velocity the same.
    Putt: This is where, to me, the ball was not the best for me. Had a bit of trouble getting the right feel with a put. I think it is because I used the Pure Soft first.
     
    Pure Soft
    Driver: Feels nice, distance about right.
    Long Irons: Feels nice, distance good.
    Short Irons: Good feel, spin is good, just what i love to feel from 100m
    Chip/ Pitch: Very nice feel, spin is good. Grabbed quite fast. (2 bounce max)
    Putt: Oh my, that is just lovely! That's the feel i love!
     
    Pure Soft X
    Driver: Feels great!! Love the ball flight aswel, distance is way to short
    Long Irons: Feels great, distance way to short
    Short Irons: This is better than I ever had. Just lovely. The feel, flight, spin. Just, great!
    Chip/ Pitch: Same as short irons, just great!
    Putt: No, not my putting ball. Sound and feel between PS and PG, made it harder to get the right distance with putts.
     
    In conclusion: We were surprised with the balls. If the PSX wouldn't cost me so much distance, it would be my gaming ball. For me, the best choice is the PS. Best of both worlds! Probably in cold weather, the PG would also do fine.
  2. I know GSWAG, and I like that!

    Smaller brands knocking on the door of the big brands with comparable quality balls.


    I normally play lakeballs, because I lose to many balls and don't like to spend a whole lot of cash on balls I hit just a few times;)
    Reading tips/tricks on websites and looking on youtube taught me that it's best to play new balls cause of consistenty of your game.

    This made me look at cheaper models that might suit my game. I read a lot about Cut, Vice and Snell.

    I liked the Cut, the only problem is that I live in the Netherlands (Europe) and it costs way to much to ship them (and custom clearance). Snell does sell in England, but the prices go way up compared to the US prices.
    So I started reading about Vice. Looks neat and prices look good. Just when I was abot to buy them, I stumbled into Pearl golf. But there are just a few reviews!
