Quick Review: Top Flite Gamer


Matt Saternus

Recommended Posts

I can imagine its pretty humbling for some people. On average, how many people ignore the optimizer and tell you they still need something in XXX stiff and the machine doesn't know crap?

 

 

Most will believe the optimizer because they believe what a "computer" will tell them...... this is because i am able to print them what they need.... so naturally, they get a piece of paper to take home with them, therefore they get excited.

Hello all, first post here.

 

Last week I found a Gamer on the 17th hole, so I decided to put it in play on 18. I bombed a drive down the center of the fairway, then hit a full SW from 110 out; the ball landed 10' behind the pin, then spun back into the hole for and EAGLE. I stuck around and hit a few chips and putts with the ball and I was thoroughly impressed with it's feel and spin. I love my Callaway Tour ix balls, but I bought a sleeve of Gamer V2, so I can compare them next time out.

The V2 Gamer made a gold rating in the under 20 a dozen category in this month's Golf Digest.

I bought a sleeve of the V2's at Walmart last week, and loved them... Went out and bought another dozen. I'm skipping work tomorrow and playing a quick 9 in between dropping off and picking up my son from pre-k, so I'll see how they feel for a full 9. So far I like what I've seen...

They have a deal going, 19.99 and a bonus 3 packs of balls attached. So you get 15 instead of 12 for the same price.

I can report that Matt is a witch with the wedges around the green. The cheap ball he was playing didn't seem to hurt that phase of his game at all.

 

Putting... well... we won't talk about that. Lets just say that neither one of us we're doing proud by our Byrons. :D

Took him by 3 strokes although I'll give him style points for rolling out the ever reliable and almost always effective "you're older than I thought you were" smack....

That wasn't smack, that was meant as a compliment. Smack talk would be something like, "I didn't hit the center of my driver all day, but it never stopped me from out driving you."

 

As far as the ball goes, I still love it. It's long and it spins around the greens. What more do you want?

I tend to be a bit of a ball snob, so I did not even bother to try it. I got a rewards card at Northway 8 for $20, and since I had nothing I needed at the time, I picked up the Gamer. Damned if it is not 98% of a ProV for less than half the price. I'm sold.

Another convert! Hallelujah!

 

It's funny how damning the name "Top Flite" is to some people. I played with two really nice guys in Myrtle who picked up some lost Top Flites and just tossed them right at me saying, "I wouldn't play these." I didn't say anything, but I was thinking, "Guys, I'm playing a Top Flite and whipping your @$$." :D

I hate to sound like advertising... but TGW has the V2s for $17.95 for 12 with free sleeve of 3, so 15 for that price. :D
