Rife Enzo cut down to 32.5" with a Evnroll Gravity Grip, ball rolls off the face with no skid.

Trust golf balls which are knly available through Amazon.com. Been playing them for a full year now and they perform almost as well as a Premium Titliest or Srixon ball. Specifically the Bison X. price is right and I do not lose distance and/or stopping power.

A 4 yr old thread being bumped by brand new 1 post accounts all shilling for some company almost no one has heard of is what the hell I'm talking about.
that was the point of the post, and trust me I am no bot, to inform others of a quality ball at a good price if you don't want to participate then just skip on by no need to post your stupidity. Glad others have tried the ball and others will try the ball I have no investment in it other than letting other people know about it and the quality.
thanks Michael

I had a load of different cheaper type balls in my searches on eBay, including Trust. Others included Vice, Snell, Seed, Cut, On Core and Pokra to name a few that I'm aware of. I've not tried all of them, but I did find a Kirkland Signature that someone had lost in the bushes. It was virtually new and looked as though the only time it had been hit was the once that sent it to where I found it!
I tried it out over 9 holes back at base and I was so sold on it, I bought several dozen. I normally use ProV1, but they are getting extremely expensive at around £4.50/ball, (do your own currency conversions). The Kirkland is retailing out from Costco at about £1.50/ball. You do lose a little distance off the drive, but not that much you would notice. Round the greens they perform exactly the same. I don'y know about the ProV1X, I've never used them.
It's a no brainer!

What the hell are you talking about?

the issue with the Kirkland is spin still, I have played them as well as the others you have listed, the Trust ball still out performs them and the value is great.

Nope, have not tried them. If you are looking for valued added golf balls, try th3 best ball not named Titleist…….Maxfli Tour CG. You can get them for $30/dozen fron Dicks or Golf Galaxy.
You may want to try these I have played the Maxfli ball as well but these are still $5 less than that and are a quality performance ball.

One of the most anticipated irons of this year was Cobra's release of the 2022 Forged Tec line, which expanded to included the Forged Tec X model.
Read about them Here in My Golf Spy's First Look piece. These irons are stunning looking and in the case of the Forged Tec X are packed with enough help for the player that handicaps from scratch to 20 can probably play them.
Cobra is going to give one lucky Forum Member a chance to win a set of their choice, you will be able to choose between
- Forged Tec
- Forged Tec X
Entering will require a little research and work on your end, but it's well worth it to get a chance to put these in your bag.
To Enter you must be a registered member of the forum.
Then complete ALL of the steps below:
- First Head to the Cobra website https://www.cobragolf.com/golf-clubs/irons
- Research both irons and select which set you'd like
- Build a set (using any no upcharge options) and take a screen shot and post it in this thread.
Then answer the following questions in the same post that you put your bag.
- Explain why you chose the model you did and what you'd hope to get out of them performance wise
- List your first name/city state (US Only entries)
- What current irons you're playing
- Handicap
- Will you agree to patriciate in discussions on the forum about your experience with the irons after receiving them.
That's it. A big Thank You to Cobra for providing this opportunity!
A winner will be selected by August 12th and notified in this thread and via PM. Good Luck!
I chose the X because I realize despite being a decent player I still benefit from the game improvement iron. I think they would give me better feel than the Cobra irons I have today.

Has anyone else played any of these balls, I bought them on a whim looking to try and find a more affordable option to the premium golf ball market. Specifically I purchased the Bison X which is designed for swing speeds of 95-105mph when they arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the look they have a pearlescent coating on them similar to many Japanese golf balls. I play weekly so first time out the performance was also better than expected they performed equally as well as my Srixon XV or even a Titleist ProV1x. I have bought other so called performance balls online but these were much more durable and the cover remained In tact which is always the issue that I run into with balls. I would out these balls on a level with the premium ball brands in the market, I did not lose performance at all, they are durable but have great feel. They fly as far as th ProV1x, spin level is similar and durability is definitely there a great ball at 1/2 the price of the Titleist offering. In any event I hope to see mygolfspy test them at some point to see where they truly stack up in the ball lab.

Justin Thomas for the low round and the win.

If you are looking to play ProV1s then the lesser expensive alternative is refurbished balls they will not hold up as much as the new ones but they will still perform similarly. Other options are www.cutgolf.co as their blue golf ball performs pretty well and is a great value at $19.99/ dozen and the DC is available in Yellow at $29.99/ dozen. I am a traditionalist and prefer white golf balls but for the money the Blue is super solid.

Good discussion here - but it makes me wonder. Are name brand loyalists (TM, Titleist, etc.) interested in trying some of the DTC balls after these Ball Lab reports? Snell was top last year but is looking fairly even with Vice but now Cut DC is making a push.
I think DTC brands have a place in the market but the extra $15-$20 for name brand premium balls seem to actually be getting you a better product. How much better is tough to quantify but the Ball Lab is a step in the right direction . Thanks MGS for Ball Lab!
I will say this that Cut, as well as Vice make some decent balls with the price point of cut being much better. The biggest issue i see with these balls is they lack the durability of the Titleist ProV1, Prov1x and -ProV1x. That being said buying a Cut Blue at $19.99 a dozen or a ProV1 at $49.99 a dozen do you really expect the same durability? If you are looking for a pretty good golf ball at an affordable price then Cut is a great option, the cover is pretty soft and will groove up but i have not seen a significant drop off in distance and or feel. If all things were equal meaning price points, i would play a ProV1 series ball all day, but reality is they are not equal.

I live in South FL, our courses have been closed for 2-3 weeks has anyone else experienced this during the pandemic. Our local track had to rope off the course as people were treating it like a public park. I know most of the state of FL golf courses are still open as social distancing is rather easy in golf any other experiences out there like this?
-
I can't bring myself to play a colored golf ball, the closest i can go is the truvis pattern and even then i prefer white still. I am sure it is all mental but White is still what a golf ball should be.

I believe Srixon may be the #1 performing ball out there, their entire lineup is high quality. I think you will see more and more people shift from Callaway, and Titleist to Srixon in the coming years. I think moving through the level of balls the Srixon perform equal or better than Titleist balls and generally are 10-20% less in cost.
-
i have played Cut and they perform better than expected for the money, i like the 4 piece which i think was the gray, only issue was the cover durability so if they truly have fixed that this is a great ball option in my opinion. The one issue i had was flight with wedges as they tend not to fly as far for some reason, the mygolfspy test indicTed that as well. I will be interested to see if this is fixed.
-
Titleist has superior quality control to others but i find their balls overpriced vs Srixon and others.

For my money this is the best ball out there with sites selling these for less than $20, this ball seems to cut through the wind better than just about any ball i have ever played. I have been playing this for about 6 months now consistently and they perform as well as the Pro V1x as far as spin stopping power on greens, and i believe they fly farther. i am a single digit handicap and for many players out there this ball is more than adequate. The average golfer spending $40-50 per dozen golf balls are just wasting their money as they do not get all the benefits of that premier level ball. Best site for the Q-Star tour is www.hurricanegolf.com as they sell out of box for less than $20 and had ones in a box on promo recently as well.

I was unaware that Titliest reversed these, is that really true? If that is the case then most of the PGA players must have switched balls.

I haven't carried a 5 wood for 15+ years, the ease of hitting a hybrid and the ability to get them to land softly makes more sense to me. I carry a 19 degree and a 23 degree hybrid with my 3 wood being 13 degree. I think some people do not undertand the ease of hitting a hybrid vs a longer wood.

For the money I still think the best deal out there is Mastergrip golf gloves, you get cabretta leather gloves for $7 or less. www.mggolf.com

The Kirkland ball is not even on the same level in my opinion, I have played them in the past but the Trust balls are a way higher quality and a lot less spinny.
