When I started playing at 16 Top Flight was all the rage in my little golf world. My father and grandfather played them. The perception was that it was just longer than everything else. So since I often bummed balls from my dad's bag I played a lot of these. I did not know anything else. As I played more I began to branch out to use Tour Edition, Maxifli DDH, and Staff balls. At one point after using Staff for a while I was out of balls and used my dad's Top Flights and they suddenly felt like rocks off my club. I would say that over time that created my aversion. I did not have great feel or judgement as a young player, but Top Flight felt hard, and tended to exaggerate my problem shots. I would love a new Top Flight that performed and was not $50 a dozen.
