Due to the colder weather my balls are feeling hard

[guitarman]

Can anyone suggest a softer feeling ball that performs better in the colder weather.

[hoganapexplus]

This is almost too easy, like a slowpitch floater coming in right over the plate, but I am going to resist.
Any of the lower compression balls, maybe the new 50/50 or a Laddie.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
Anyway I wanted to try the new Wilson 50/50 earlier in the summer but the very knowledgable salesman at GT gave a really bad review. Anyone else have some experience with the Wilson 50/50?

Come on dude really??? :cool: :rofl:

Anyhow, read the D2 Feel review thread, I think there were a few favourable reviews listed there...

[nearace]

I loved the 50/50 but the price was high,dunlop loco is a good soft ball I think they are around 80 compression,good all year ball.

[sharkhark]

Wilson has a new ball. The first 'zero' compression core. I guess you couldn't get any softer than that.

Ok. Am I missing something here. Please don't thread jack.

Yes I play Delhi as well. But only in the off season because they stay open quite late in the season. Just about time to be heading back there.

I only found out last year that the owner said he does not close his course in the winter. If you want to play just call first. He said he was only had a handful of days that noone showed.

Actually the soft cover performance balls are worse than the hard covers in cool weather. You will lose more distance and feel with say a Pro V1 compared to a Top Flite. Generally when it gets below say 10-12 degrees i will switch to a harder ball and deal with the poor feel. I also don't like losing $6 golf balls in the leaves!!

Interesting post. I bought some Titleist DT solo's for the colder months and found they worked pretty good overall.

I agree, usually use rocks like Pinnacles when the weather gets cold.

Then again, my balls were feeling hard before the cold weather.

Yup those pinnacles are hard whether its warm or cold.

The title of the thread makes me wonder why this thread has not been deleted or guitarman be suspended or banned :D

Switch to brief from boxer or better yet, those thermal long john. That should do the trick :hush:

[Samick]

Allright thats it can you guys please enlighten me.:confused:

Baaaahhhhh ha ha ha ha....dude..I'm crackin here!! I hear of things getting a little "nippley" when it gets cold....but come on! :D

On to the subject at hand....I used to use Precept Laddies when the weather got cold and just adjusted like a pitch and run near the greens because they wouldnt hold as nice as my Platinums. One ball that I found and tried was the Titleist DT SoLo....those things go a mile too.

Dude... is there a lump on that ball?? That may affect your overall performance.

I gotta question the maturity here. I mean it's a golf forum, the word "balls" is on every freakin post.

Sometimes people just like to make light jokes to relieve some stress from their every day grind. Some whole threads are a waste of brain cells to read but funny none the less. And then are those of us trying like heck to avoid growing up. :rolleyes: :help:

It's all good, brother. Just giggle and tilt a pint. :beer:

Ya ya I get it. I don't really care but I would hope for something a little more clever. It's a golf forum so there is a lot of talk about balls, shafts and holes, not to mention the bush and the stroke. It's just too easy and obvious....

[Leftygolfer30]

I find that a strategically placed "hot pocket" will help keep your balls warm and thus make it so they don't feel so hard... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:



Was that a little more clever? :D

Thank you lefty and after all this thread crapping someone actually answers my question.
