Addicted2Golf Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 If the Gamer held up against the ProV1 and is only $1 a ball, then I think I need to check it out. Not sure I need all the performance it has to keep shooting 100+, but it would be nice to have anyway. Think of it this way - that is a penny per hack (err, shot). If you're serious enough to be on this board, then your game is worth at least that much...

Not sure I need all the performance it has to keep shooting 100+, but it would be nice to have anyway. There are no bad golfers, we're all "aspirational". As such, you should play a good quality ball, like the Gamer. Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saternus Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Make sure that you carry extras in your bag so you can dish them out to you buddies too. Even then you will be balls deep in gamers for a while... I always carry a ton of balls because I feel like going out with just a sleeve would make the Golf Gods think that I'm arrogant, and they would punish me. My generosity stops with gloves though, with the way I "hand out" golf balls to the trees and water I can't give them to my friends too.

How does this happen... It happens when you spend too much time on the boards and not enough on the course.

Matt Saternus Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Are they all in Myrtle now? Not all of them, thankfully. I need to take an inventory of the stragglers and get out an get rid of them. I hate odds and ends. I think I'll end up playing them at the Walnut Hills (?)

Dicks bought out a local sporting goods retail chain last year... called GI Joes.. They sold Sports and Automotive supplies. Great Stores. I actually used to work in the ski shop of one many years ago. So we have one about 3 miles from us. I can't say that they haven't hurt business, but I'm not too worried..

myndcraft Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to test out the V2 of the Gamer yet.

And while I 3 dozen B330RX sitting on my shelf I don't want to crack them out until my swing sets back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DId you ever stop by GG and get a shot at the Mizuno shaft optimizer? If not, u should stop by. After all the threats of rain, I'm looking at blue skies right now. I'll probably try to get out and do something today. I did stop by for the shaft optimizer and it was pretty cool. They recommended the Dynalite Gold XP300, Nippon 900, and KBS Tours, in that order. I've been playing the KBS for over a year now and I'm happy with them, so I think I'll stand pat for a while.
