Quick Review: Top Flite Gamer


Matt Saternus

Recommended Posts

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...

Any ball that can do that for a buck is a solid ball.

 

btw, I am now adding no new balls to my no new equipment pledge. I looked in the garage and found:

1 doz prov1x

2 doz nike mojo

1.5 doz big bertha (not diablo)

2 doz zip

3 doz e5+

1 doz D2 feel

2 doz random sleeves (hot bite, tour iX, 330rx wilson fifty)

1 doz ASU logo warbirds.

 

How does this happen...

Dunno, but I'd notice if I had twelve dozen golf balls laying around. I'm scared to see your garage now...

There is one corner of the garage that could be on the golf version of Hoarders... :unsure:

 

btw, do you need a sleeve of ASU balls?

There are no bad golfers, we're all "aspirational". As such, you should play a good quality ball, like the Gamer.

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.

It happens when you spend too much time on the boards and not enough on the course. I know of what I speak, as I emptied out a box of at least 6 different types of balls before my Myrtle trip.

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 (?) Par 3 course, looked like there was lots of water there.

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..

Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to test out the V2 of the Gamer yet. Our golf season has started here in Chicago and as soon as my foot has healed I plan on getting on the course! And while I 3 dozen B330RX sitting on my shelf I don't want to crack them out until my swing sets back in.

Love to hear about the V2 gamer also.

 

Anyone have any feedback on the 2009 Tri-Speed and how it's different than the 2010?

The TopFlite Gamer is the best 'bang for the buck' golf ball out there. Hands down. Or, thumbs up...

It's now Wabbit season in the suburbs! Get out the rain gear my friend.

 

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.

Glad you got to give it a go! Of those three, the KBS would be my top. Dynalite Gold XP is a Mizuno exclusive that I'm not too crazy about. Glad to see that it put you into something you're already playing. Some of the looks on these guys faces when I tell them what they SHOULD be playing is priceless. "Um..... Uh..... I have been playing Dynamic Gold X100 for years... What do you mean that shaft isn't right for me?!?" :lol:

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?
