robbo32 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Since I switched to Yellow Z Stars, marking my ball seems less critical. (Would have been a good contest entry... ) Hey Sac how are you like the Yellow Z Stars? Modesto and Sacramento aren't to far away so your balls probably see a lot of the same conditions that mine do.

Modesto and Sacramento aren't to far away so your balls probably see a lot of the same conditions that mine do. I found one on the course and then bought a dozen. I am all over the place with the game these days and the yellow helps me find the ball a ton. When I hit it well, it is one of the best feeling balls I have played.

RookieBlue7 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I lost 10-15 yards on my drive and some spin when trying the ZStarx versus the ProV1x. That said, I mark my balls with a green shamrock, created by making 3 connecting dots and a small stem from the bottom, just under the right side of the ball's logo.

mudfish Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I guess I'm the only one that doesn't mark my ball... but then again, I have yet to find anyone else playing Top Flights... I did have to tell the guy I was playing that the ball he found was NOT a range ball but mine instead... then I had to explain why the Gamer V2 was better than his ball...

Distance seems OK for me at this point. Once the driver is behaving better, I will take some pairings to the par 5's for some driving range time.

And I thought I was being creative. ;P I've done it for 10 years now. There is some Irish in my bloodline, and I decided to roll with it(that and blue, black and red were already taken in my normal foursome, so I got green in the 4 marker pack. Started like that, now it's been my mark for a long time).

When you're on, these balls are amazing! I've been having a great time with them and the CG14 wedges, excellent spin/bite so far.

BIG STU Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 It is not how you mark your golf ball but how you mark your TITLEIST. Since no one else mentioned it i though I would say it. I mark mine exactly like my dad did 5 or 6 dots around the number in both sides. He preferred #1s I prefer 6 7 or 8. That is a story within itself but I will play any number as long as it is a Titleist.
