djaxgolf21 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Do you change you ball during a round? Not a different brand/type but just a newer ball. Quote Love to play in HOT weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middler Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 If I cut or scuff my ball bad enough, I’ll pull out a new Snell MTB Black. But I’ll play the same ball for 18 holes or more if it’s not damaged.

Andrew K Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I've been playing the past 27 holes with the same -ProV1x. I plan on using it until is gets scuffed or is unfindable.

beelzeberto Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I PLAY EM TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF! Basically until I lose it. If i use it the whole round then it goes back in the bag until I eventually lose it. cnosil and John W Sutch 2 Quote Sim / M2 / MG Z785 Brandon Matthews No2 - Not Made for the Tour "buy the ticket, take the ride..."

ParFore74x Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Play it until I lose it. I can usually get a couple rounds out of a ball but sometimes it's a couple of balls per round.

Mtbryant01 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I usually play it until I lose it or gets a scuff on it from hitting the cart path...Sometimes if I’m playing terrible (chunk/blade/top/etc), I’ll try to switch up the balls For good mojo, but that usually doesn’t work out, no matter how much I want to pin my troubles on the ball... tony@CIC 1 Quote Cobra Connect 5 participant G410 Plus, w/ X stiff 75 g Project X Evenflow Black shaft driver / Radspeed w/ Smoke RDX Blue 70S shaft Big Tour 3 wood/ 5 wood w/ Fujikura X F3 60S shaft 4 Hybrid w/ Project X Catalyst 80S shaft Copper MIM Tour Irons w/ KBS $ Taper Balck 120S shaft Snakebite 50, 54, and 58 wedges w/ KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 125S shaft Newport 2.5 putter MTB X golf balls RH, Alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom the Golf Nut Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Play it until I lose it! Unless I'm trying out a new ball. Then I'll play it for a few holes then go back to my original for comparison.

Firebird Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I generally change balls every 36 holes (Pro V1x) unless I really put a mark on it or loose it. I find that the Pro v1 are the most durable balls. tony@CIC 1 Quote Callaway Epic Flash 9 Degree Callaway Epic Flash 3 wood 15 Degree Callaway Apex 21 Hybrid 19 Degree Callaway Steelhead Pro 4-AW Irons Cleveland 54 Degree Wedge Steel Shaft Recoil Graphite Shafts in all Callaway Cobra Vintage Series Stingray 40 Preferred ball - Seed 001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerospace_ray Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 So I normally play one ball a side/9 (unless lost or damaged). However if I get hot on front 9 or have like back to back birdies for holes 8,9 then superstition kicks in and I will keep that ball in play for remainder of round. :)Sent from my SM-N960U using MyGolfSpy mobile app tony@CIC and gavinski91 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanoito Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I lose them before they get any signs of damage... but if I'm playing like s*** (like losing 3 per round), I'll switch to s***** balls and put the goods ones back in the bag.

Brian A Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Play until I lose it, which balls are starting to last me more and more holes. Played 65 holes with a ball (new record) and hit it in to hillside rough that was pretty wet, never found it!

Not a different brand/type but just a newer ball. Yes and no. I grab 3 balls to start my round. I rotate between the three from tee to tee based on the accumulation of dirt. If one gets knicked or scuffed then it goes in the shag bag and a fresh one comes out. At the end of the round they go back in my bag. I will use them as many rounds as I can. Usually I can get 3-5 rounds per ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG STU Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Depends on what I am doing--- If I am knocking it around with friends I will play a scuff--- Now if we are playing a shootout and side bets it is a new ball when needed-- or go into one of the vintage bags for play later or the shag bag. Right now I am playing mostly Srixon Soft Feels or Call Away Super Softs-- I have about 2 dozen Soft Feels and 4 dozen Super Softs all won on gift certificates in the Dog Fights. I can play those balls both modern and vintage golf. In fact I have one old poor Soft Feel I have beat the paint off of. I think I played like 72 holes regular play and then 18 or so vintage and it resides in the shag bag for now. If I am just messing around I will play one even with wedge scuff marks Rickp and tony@CIC 2 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

DiscipleofPenick Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I play it till I lose it. I always start with a new ball, but if I lose it I go to the bag and not into a sleeve for a second one.

TeeBrain Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I don't change a ball unless it's lost or badly damaged from a rock or cart path. I admit that in non-competitive rounds, I keep a clean version of the same ball in my pocket to putt with as I don't usually bring a towel onto the putting green. Yes, I think this is technically not legal, but I'm willing to make the compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscipleofPenick Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'll play a ball till the end of a round, but if it's all scuffed it goes to the shag bag. Like last week, I made it the whole 18 on one ball, but after two paths and an oak, that ball was done.

Kenny B Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 For most normal rounds I start with two balls, a new or new-ish one and one that has a round or two on it. I play the new-ish one on all holes except #3, #9, #12, #15, and #18. On those holes I play the "experienced" ball, because those are the holes that have water if I make a bad swing. After a round the new ball becomes an "experienced" ball, and the cycle begins again. The "experienced" balls are also my practice balls for chipping and pitching.

tchat07 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I almost never make an entire round with the same ball. Normally lose 2 or 3 a round. Also will take one out if it catches cart path.
