Robert Everhart Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 How about Vice Tour , it’s a fairly inexpensive ball, usually I can find it at Walmart when I do find it I’ll buy a box. On a side note. The testing company I used to worked for (now retired),did alot of testing on the golf ball molds for Titliest. I did the X-Rays on the molds to check for internal defects . It was interesting work, don’t remember what golf ball the molds were for. Quote Robert Everhart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
