Golf Ball Question
Alan,
Thanks for the info but whether or not they mark
the balls as such they still perform a compression measurement on
most. If you dig into specs on many of them you see some as low as 66
compression. The problem is that I can't find one with specs showing 100
compression. Titliest lists the compression of some balls in their spec
sheets but some such as the Pro V aren't provided.
There are still days here in the near tropical
region of Hawaii where in local parlance "one ball go mo fah dan
yestadah". This past Sunday was rainy-to-muggy and I was losing 10 yards
per club with balls which went further in windy but different pressure weather
a few days before. I'm getting old but I remember, even in Japan,
switching over from 90 to 100 compression balls at different times of the
year.
So phooey on D&G... I need the compression
rating ;-)

Golf Ball Question
That question was brought up on either Dynacraft's or
Golfsmith's forums not too long ago and I believe the response was that ball
construction has changed so much that the old ratings are no longer
meaningful. The February issue of Golf Digest has a ranking of balls,
for what that's worth. Gene Parente at Golf Labs recommends Pro V's
and Precept Tours (now U-Tri) for testing because of their
consistency. I play the Precepts and really like them. They have
the additional advantage that not many people play them so they don't
'disappear' from the middle of the fairway as
often.

Jents,
Can any of you
suggest a good 100 compression ball? They used to mark and advertise
the compression, and once you could tell by the color of the numbers, but
they aren't marked now and I don't believe the colors can be
trusted.
Fairways and
Greens,
