tdroma98 23 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Tom Orlando, FL Back to ProV1x I think at one time we all played a Top Flite Ball, like the Top Flite Z Balata & Titanium in the 90's. 5 yrs ago I discovered the Top Flight Gamer Tour after reading reviews in golf mag. It ranked something like 2nd to Pro V1. So I picked up a dozen at Dick's Sporting, actually 2 dozen for $34 and loved them. When playing not so good conditioned courses you don't like losing $5 golf balls. To my surprise the Gamer was very good, from driving to approach shots and even around the greens, chipping felt good. My golf buddies would laugh I'd be playing a Top Flite. That changed when I dropped a 68 or 69 on them, lol. Still use the ProV1 or ProV1x majority of time. But had no problem using Gamer, until they changed the ball. Used it one time and never tried again. Good to see company realized the mistake in replacing the Gamer.

Dawn Patrol 0 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hello, My name is Ben from Norway, ME. I play Top Flight XL in the summer and Titleist Pro V in cooler weather. My first experience playing a Top Flight was finding one. The ball was solid in the wind and I liked the feel with my irons & wedges. Thank you Ben Link to post Share on other sites

BostonPaddy 5 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Pat Boston, MA Titleist ProV1 My experience with Top Flites is about as rocky as a Top Flite feels when you hit it. Whenever I find a Top Flite while playing I have to immediately hit the ball to the nearest woods or hazard, even if that means hitting a three wood perpendicular across 3 holes. Just today I found one on the practice putting green, moved it to the rough and crushed a little punchy 8 and sent that thing screaming into a tree so fast it almost needed an FAA flight plan. So why should I test these? Well if they can win me over they can win anyone over and I’m dying to be proven wrong about why Top Flites don’t deserve to grace the sacred grounds of a golf course. - Pat Link to post Share on other sites
Steelerz65 0 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Tim Denver,NC Callaway Chromesoft Have always left Top Flites in the woods when I have found them in the past. Would love it if they came out with a comparable ball that was more affordable. Link to post Share on other sites

Parthur 2 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Arthur Lake Worth/Florida Callaway Supersoft (and others on a whim) I played Top Flite (Rock Flite) balls for a couple/few years when I took up golf 35 years ago. I hadn't played Top Flite again, ...Until... I saw a Dick's Advert for the Gamer Urethane. I bought a dozen to try, and loved them. I bought a couple more dozen just before they became unavailable. Believe it or not, I have a sleeve left in my "golf stuff" closet, that I have been saving, just cuz. I will be happy to check out the new Gamer. If it feels and performs like the urethane version; I am in. I guess I like golf balls that get discontinued: I also really liked the 3 layer Wilson Staff Duo Soft Spin.

They were not the rocks that the XLs were. I played the Strata for probably 5-6 years as it was an affordable option to the Titleist golf balls and way more durable than the balatas.

TexasWilly 0 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 23 hours ago, Golfspy_CG2 said: Testers Wanted The title of this testing opportunity already told you what ball is being tested. But if it had been a blind test and we were to have listed the following aspects of this ball, how many would have guessed it was for a Top Flite Ball? 3-piece construction blends feel, control and distance. Dimple in Dimple Aerodynamics help maintain lift to generate maximum carry and distance Soft, Ionomer cover provides elevated greenside control and improved touch DuPont HPF mantle layer positioned between the core and cover reduces long game spin for accuracy Larger, high-speed core construction optimizes lower compression for softer feel and ultimate distance off the tee Combination of the re-engineered core, mantle layer and cover formulation elevates playability Long gone are the days of being referred to as Top Rock. The Top Flite Gamer is a surprisingly nice feeling ball with some real get up and go distance. Don't take our word for it, we want you to test it and report back on it. How to Apply In a post below, please provide the following information, but DO NOT QUOTE this post when doing so. First Name City/State Current Ball Played Tell us your past experiences with any Top Flite ball. Bill Villa Rica Ga. Bridgestone B330 I tried the gamer when it first came out. Great ball. Then the cover changed and it lost a lot of its spin characteristics. Link to post Share on other sites
