The NXT Tour might be the best option if looking to pick up a few yards. With a sand wedge you're still going to get over 10,000 RPM on your backspin.

Thank you for your question. A golf ball will only aid you so much when it comes to straightening out your drive. I would work on the swing more. The NXT Tour will have limited success but it's certainly worth a shot.

08/21/2009 1:31 PM
I'm not understanding the answers here. I thought a ball like this will minimize spin which in turn will help to reduce hook/slice shots? Is that not true? If this is true then this ball would help Neil. A higher performance ball would be a bad choice as the spin produced from his swing would be magnified.

Thank you for your inquiry of the Titleist golf ball lineup. The balls in this brand best suited for high club head speeds are the Pro V1/V1x and the NXT Tour. These ball types are designed for high skill golfers with higher than average club head speeds. The NXT Extreme and DT golf balls are low compression balls geared mainly toward adding distance and feel.

Jerry, the shelf life of the golf balls if stored in a climate controlled area is non existent. The balls will perform to the standards they were produced at the time. If you are playing an older golf ball you may notice differences from performance of newer balls but that is due to advances in technology not because the ball is "dead". Only storing balls out doors or in non controllable climates will you notice the balls only last around 2 years in most cases.

A golf ball takes between 100 and 1000 years to decompose. If a golf ball is not old and battered through play, it will be fine!!!

Golf balls certainly do have a shelf life. Ever been to the driving range, and no matter what club you hit, 4 iron to wedge, they all seem to travel the same distance? I play to a 10.3 index and hit 5 irons on average about 225yds. I hit range balls and I'm lucky to get 175 to 180 out of them. Same with a pitching wedge. Normally with Pro V1's, I have a range of 140 to 150, at the range, lucky to get 100 yds. out of them.

Comparing golf balls in a controlled climate - on a shelf in a closet - to balls at a driving range is ridiculous! Range balls are hit hundreds (if not thousands) of times, run thru a cleaning machine and hit again. They are likely to be hit off of various equipment, run over by mowers, etc. The comparisaon you make is foolish!

I'm guessing Jake could very well be at a range with Limited Flight (LF) range balls. To that end, Keith is spot on. Range balls take a beating that no other golf ball on earth will take through its lifetime. Not only that, but range balls are typically stored...wait for it...in UNcontrolled environment

Are not range balls manufactured differently for the extra abuse they receive? I factor in the difference from 'range distance' to 'course distance.' My course distance will a 'normal' ball is always about 10-30 yards better than the 'range rocks'. For fun, take a range ball onto course and compare. At PGA events, the range balls are new Titleists to match the course balls the pros may use. Pros switch out balls after they go 'out-of-round' which is determined by a Acu-Check tool. I think the

I love Jake. Bubba Watson hits a 5 iron 225. Maybe Gary Woodland. No one else. He forgot to check his math too. But his standard, his wedge should go 170. I think his 5 iron actually says "Driver" on the bottom. I was a plus 2 and I played mini-tours for a while. Golden State, etc. None of those guys hit 5-iron that far, much less a 10 handicap.

Golf balls stored in a controlled climate, (not outside in the elements, not stored in a 100 degree temperature,)will lose ONE YARD per year. That means, obviously, if you store your golf balls for ten years they will lose only ten yards of carry. Most of us could never tell the difference until it reaches that ten year mark.

Thank you for your question.
This is a perfect question for a company that started out selling used golf balls! Really there is only one down side; the length of time the ball spent in the water. If it's one that has been in the water for months then it stands a much better chance to become "out of round" so that the performance of the golf ball is compromised. This is rare due to the fact that used golf ball retriever is a big time business and ponds/lakes have balls fished out of them

You may certainly request this. During checkout there is a space to add "additional comments." Please make your request there.

In regards to dimple designs there are multiple dimple designs on golf balls and there is also not set number as to how many dimples a golf ball will have. It varies on every golf ball.

Storing golf balls at room temp in your house is ideal. In regards to storing golf balls in cold temperatures or hot temps for that matter, temperature will eventually have an effect on a golf ball but only after a long period of time.

Range balls are typically low compression in addition to being hit THOUSANDS of times. These are the two reasons distance suffers. Why Pros hit the range they use the identical balls they play with.

Regarding the storage of golf balls room temperature is fine. If you are playing in conditions below 50 degrees. I recommend that you use a lower compression ball: Wilson Staff Zip/50, Srixon Soft Feel or perhaps even a woman's ball. In harsh/cold conditions a lower compression ball will compress easier -- thus hoefully giving better control.
