whoopwhoop893 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Love the name of this Post! For me it will always be anything Pinnacle. Though I always think of pickles when I see it written out. So, I guess that makes them less bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunfa0 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I vote for pinnacle and top flite but they were the ball I used when I first started playing in the 80s. On another note I watch a guy today trying to hit a Taylormade TP5 and it looked like he was hitting a rock with no dimples. His swing was way to slow to hit that ball.

tommc23 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I found a ball in my shag bag that I found on the course and boy oh boy does it ever make a clicking sound.

NCST8golf Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Gotta say the Titleist Velocity is near the top of my list. They seem to find me whenever I am hunting in the trees. Each time I think it can't possibly be as bad as I remember and it always is. Amen to the countless votes for Nitros and anything TF (minus the Gamer maybe). Classic cases of getting what you pay for! I miss the old TP Reds and the original Pentas. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtopherb Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I play in a scramble every year where participants get grab bags that contain no-name balls with a Michelob Light logo on them. I've accidentally hit rocks in crappy sand traps that feel softer than those things.

tehuti Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 When I first started playing Roger Dunn had a brand called Cougar that was really cheap.

HardcoreLooper Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I would love to hear you elaborate on these..! Do tell!!! Back in the 80s, Wilson (Ultra) and Spalding (Molitor) seemed to engage each other in a race to the bottom to make the hardest, worst-feeling, jaw rattling but premium priced ball. And yes, I put up the Ultra because I'd blocked the Molitor from my memory. If you wanted to split a persimmon driver, just hit a few Molitors with it. I'm surprised that Bob Molitor (Spalding chemist, came up with the cover formula for the first Top Flites) let Spalding put his name on that ball. In fact, I'm surprised that Paul Molitor (former Brewers 3rd baseman, current Twins manager) didn't sue Spalding because that ball was just so bad.

null Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Not the worst ball ever, but perhaps the ball I most looked forward to and then was disappointed by: the Snell MTB Red Thought this was going to be my dream ball in terms of price an performance, but this ball gets absolutely murdered in the wind and made it completely unplayable for me.

kyle316 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Obviously any of the Top Flight, Pinnacle, etc. will be complete crap, but as far as a premium ball goes I always thought the Nike 20xi, RZN or whatever they were called were absolute junk.
