MG Golf Tour C4 Balls

[dru_]

Alright, now that I have month of solid play with the MG Golf C4 balls, I feel like I have a good feel for the balls.

 

The Good

 

* Distance and Driver feel very comparable to the Titleist Pro-V1x, Srixon Z-Star or Bridgestone B330x.

* Middle irons impart reasonable spin, and the carry distances are competitive to the 'pro' level balls.

* Short wedges impart good spin and control.

* Good, to great control within 50 yards.

* Excellent Price

 

The Bad

 

* The covers are scuff prone

* The white shell is a very unremarkable white, can be very difficult to track in the air in some conditions (most IMO)

* The oversize logo is a little distracting.

 

The Conclusion

 

If your ego and pride doesn't need the more recognizable names and you eye site will allow you to play a ball that can be difficult to track visually, then look no further. The C4 is a very good ball available at a very good price, though it is internet only. However, if large logo's bother you, or a traditional white ball is tough for you to see, there may be better options. The Srixon and Bridgestone's both come in Yellow/Orange that is far easier to see, and MG Gold does not appear to have any plans to deploy additional colors.

 

Given those last two, I am quite happy with the performance of these balls, and will continue to use them, but I do wish for better visibility.

Good review.

 

Hey you can use rit dye to color golf balls if you were so inclined.

Heat 1 cup water to around 200Ëš, add 1 tsp rit powder.

 

The light ball was in the water for 15 seconds, darker ones for a minute. You won't get the fluorescent color like OEMs, but it does add color.

Never thought of doing that. No affect on the ball?

Not that I can tell. The stain doesn't go very deep, when the ball starts scuffing you see white again.

Oh now I see a project... It'll be like easter eggs, but with golf balls. I can see all kinds of funky fun in my future. Damn you internets!

I would absolutely give the MG balls a try.

 

Speaking of the OEM colors - have you noticed that Callaways yellow looks like they were RIT dyed?

I still use these from time to time and especially in winter, just like in my original review thread. Glad to see others are enjoying their product as well.

What color Rit dye did you use? I want to give this a try and dont know whether I should get yellow (golden or lemon) or orange (sunshine or tangerine) - I am wanting to dye some provs like the darker ball on the right for a pal of mine!

The bright yellow.  Just remember it will NOT give you a neon yellow.  Just yellow.

Brilliant!

[JIMSLITA]

Ok great - yes I don't need neon, just something very yellow - so I guess that I'll try the Golden Yellow color.

 

Thanks

I used these and the TP5 all last season.  Very comparable balls.  I reloaded with the recently discounted Wilson Tours, so won't be playing these for a while, but I'm sure I will in the future.  I love their gloves.
