Gerry,
I haven't seen the new ones. I have a local source
who still has the ones with compression markings. The higher priced balls don't
move well in my circle ;-)

There is a new "Revolution" but I didn't see any compression
indications on them when I was looking at them.

Pat,
Thanks! I had forgotten about the Revolution. I
think I know where there are some locally. Let me check and if not I will be
interested!

Cub,
I have 1 dozen Maxfli Revolution 100 compression. They're the
wound version, bought prolly 1 year ago or so. Let me know if you're
interested in them.

I
knew you wouldn't, just throwing some humor in.
But if you ever get a
chance, hit one of those Condors.......they make "rockflites" feel like
your hitting the tops off of dandelions!

Gerry,
Thanks, and I don't want to belabor this
but a hard ball doesn't equate to 100 compression. A 100 compression
balata ball is soft in feel. Many 90 compression balls were hard
as rocks... "Rock Flite" comes to mind. I don't want a hard
ball.

Cub,
if you want some REALLY hard balls, I have
some Condor "S" balls ("THE LONGEST BALL!!) They're hard as a
river rock and they actually do fly farther.
I'll sell
cheap.

As it happens, I have a box of
Titleist Balata 100's that have been in the garage for about 15 -
20 years. They appear to be fine, a little yellow and not quite
spherical but what the hell, they are 100's. I'd hate to
part with them but since you're one of the good guys I'll make an
exception.

BTW: How about Top Flite's, or
Pinnacles?

Re: ShopTalk: (Not Clubmaking) 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 ;-)

Re: ShopTalk: (Not Clubmaking) 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.

Alan

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,
Cub
