Top Flite D2 Balls
You have to give Top Flite points for trying. In spite of (or perhaps becuase of) what HAS to be a steadily delining market share, they keep churning out new ball designs. Last year it was the XL line. This year, it’s the D2.
The D2 apparently stands for dimple-in-dimple. There’s nothing official on the Top Flite website yet, but it seems that the ball has slightly larger dimples, with a raised “o” area in the center of each.
There’s a rumor floating around that the dimple in dimple design originally was slated to appear in Callaway balls because it was superior to the current hex system.My insider told me that he thought Callaway had invested so much in the hex design that they didn’t want to lose their identity.
On another, only slightly related not, I wonder about the fate of the Ben Hogan balls. It would be nuts for Callaway to give up on Top Flite (and with this new technology, I dont’ think they will), but can they manage three different golf ball lines at once?

Not long ago, I overheard a Top Flite salesman telling a local store owner about how many patents Top Flite owns, how they pretty much invented the modern golf ball, and that all other balls create revenue for Top Flite due to their patents. This may be just the pitch, but as I remember that was one of the reasons they were attractive to buy (and their large low-end market share).
Obvious golf fact- Most people who buy cheap balls lose more balls.

“People who buy cheap balls lose more balls.”
That’s very funny. And painfully obvious.
