GolfSpy_APH Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 In Canada they would be available at stores such as walmart, sportchek and canadian tire. Pretty sure they are just a simply 2 piece at $16 or so a dozen Golf2Much 1 Quote as of Oct 5, 2024 (Past WITB) Driver: GT2 with Graphite Design AD CQ - check out the Driver Shootout!

joshuac3 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It's a 2-piece distance ball. The local Par-3 sells them by the dozen. Quote Driver: Profile SGI 10.5* Hybrid (4H): Hot Launch 4 22* Hybrid (5H): Profile SGI Irons (6-PW, SW): Profile SGI Putter: White Hot XG #1 Link to comment

What the heck is that kind of ball? Where do you buy them? I see them online at Rock Bottom Golf and PGA Superstore online. They are listed as 2017 year model for about $1 per ball in 15 packs for $15. I would equate them to a Callaway Warbird or Titleist Velocity - 2 piece distance golf balls.

Pandaman Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm in the UK and have been using Srixon 'Marathon Soft' for a while. They are available here from a budget multi sports chain for £20 for a 2 dozen pack. They seem to have come to some agreement to use the Srixon name on them. Not great, but not bad as a cheap option, better than some budget balls I've tried, but the Costco Performance + (3 piece) is not a lot more expensive and has a eurethane cover so they may be a better option. I am currently using my last dozen or so before I move on to the Inesis 900. Quote Link to comment

I find them only available in select locations that are out of my area, and paying for shipping negates the savings.

DiscipleofPenick Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 They are available through amazon for $15 a pack. Srixon makes a good ball so that's probably a fair price.Take Dead Aim Quote Take Dead Aim Driver: PXG 0211 10.5* Fairway: Titleist 917 F3 15* Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Boxer Gold 18* Irons: MacGregor MT-86 Pro Wedges: Vokey 50/54/58 Putter: SeeMore X2 Costa del Mar Ball: Srixon Z-Star Link to comment
Golfspy_CG2 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 It’s an “outing” ball for us. The guy who plays once or twice a year in a charity outing and buys them in the Pro Shop before the round. I think its a 15 pack for $18 or something like that. As others have said, a 2-piece distance ball. Probably a step above a range ball. golfingbrock and Golf2Much 2 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment

He ended up making 3 birdies with it in a 7 hole stretch. He also had a critical 3 putt with it that helped me win 5 skins. I was playing with a 15 year old Pro V1 332. I think balls matter, but it's as much mental. Golfers are a superstitious bunch with their equipment, and believing you have the right equipment is almost as important as having the right equipment.

DoBravery Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 They are a low spinning distance ball. Great off the tee for high swing speed hitters who tend to hook or slice. They'll stick the green with a wedge due to high ball flight, not backspin. Their weakness is thus holding a green with a mid iron. They are not clicky when putting. Comparable to a Callaway Warbird in play, though I find the Marathon to be more durable. At a $1 to $1.30 a ball, they are a great value. Typically sold in 15 packs. Quote Link to comment
