Category: Golf Balls
Technology has radically changed the game of golf. And nowhere has technology affected things as much as it has the golf ball. Over the years, major manufacturers such as Titleist, Maxfli, Callaway, Nike and TopFlite have applied aerodynamics and materials science to push the little orb to its limits.
MacGregor Tourney Ball 16 Pack
Fall weather brings leaves on the fairway, and exponentially increases the chances of losing a ball. My solution is to turn to cheaper balls—ones that I won’t worry too much about losing. In that past, that’s meant the Pinnacle Gold Distance 15-Pack, which I’ve found to be more than acceptable.
But Golfsmith now is running a deal where you can get two of their MacGregory Tourney 16-packs for just $20. That’s 32 balls for a Jackson. It really doesn’t get any better than that.
The MacGregor Tourney is billed as a low compression, two piece ball. Sounds about right.

New Bridgestone Tour B330-RX
Bridgestone has a new version of the Tour B330-RX out that promises to be longer and softer.
The B330-RX is a tour-level ball designed for amateur swing speeds. I like it very much, but it’s too pricey for every day use.

Srixon Z Tour Yellow
Srixon claims that “Science has proven that yellow is the most visible color in the visual spectrum and psychology has correlated green with calming and stress relief; therefore Srixon has enhanced our line of golf balls based on these two findings with the introduction of Tour Yellow, which is a unique blend of yellow and green to formulate the next generation of Tour golf balls.”
The question of the day: would you play with a yellow golf ball?a
I should think I’d be laughed right out of the league.
Aside from the unusual color, this is a three-piece, “tour performance” ball. And its priced likewise.

Titleist DT Solo 2010
Titleist DT Solo Golf Balls 2010 - 12 pack
The Titleist DT Solo has been reworked for the 2010 season. Titleist says that it offers significant distance gains over previous models for golfers with average / moderate swing speeds.
That was the thing that attracted me to the ball when I reviewed it for the site all the way back in 2004.
What I’m wondering is if this is designed to replace the earlier Titleist DT Carry and DT Roll, which now have been relegated to the “other balls” section of the Titleist web site.

Nike Karma Women’s Golf Ball
The Nike Karma Women’s golf ball is a two piece ionomer ball with a soft core specifically designed for swings in the 70mph to 80mph range—mostly women, but quite a few men also. With Nike’s lowest compression core, it should add distance, while offering improved feel for its target audience.
