The sperated crown design might bother some players but i absolutely love it. they eliminated the excess graphics that the older model had. I can bomb this driver the same distance as the old one, but with a lower trajectory. Mine is a 9.5 degree with a stiff shaft. Some people may shy away from the $399.00 price tag but don't, you will not be sorry. I tried the cbx but i never was real crazy about the adjustable weights. And the huge price tag really puts a downer on this product. » Close |

The Studio Select sets up perfectly behind the ball giving you a boost of confidence. At impact, there is a satisfying "click" that lets you know you hit it pure. Fail to hit it pure, however, and you will know that as well. The feedback is immediate and noticeable. The putter's strongest trait is distance control. This no doubt aided by the fact that you can finally get a Cameron off the rack that has a head weight proportional to the length of the putter. And the grip is AWESOME. It fits my hands perfectly and the mix of rubber and cord is quite nice.
The only negative comment I have is, of course, the price. $300 is quite steep but, unfortunately, is also the norm these days for a "premium" putter. Oh, and the headcover is hideous.
Overall, Two Thumbs Up!
Newport 2, 33"
Offset--Full Shaft

This is the first ball in awhile that I really like. Nice feel and great distance. Moderate durability. I swing about 90 so even though they are for generally slower speeds they work well for me. Golfsmith has them for less than market price.

Couldn't find the Pearl's I regularly use so figured I'd try these. (the box ads cracked me up!) Nice feel, GREAT distance, good stop on greens. Can't speak to durability too much but it seemed that they got scratched up fairly quickly!

The spin rate with the wedges is extremely high making the ball get some major spin action on soft greens. The feel around the greens and with the putter is worth it in itself. Great product but a little expensive at almost $5 a ball! » Close |

I did a club fitting for new woods using the trackman computer fitting system. I hit all the top 5 brand name clubs. After we found the right shaft and loft for the club head.

After we found the right shaft and loft for the club head. (9 degree Draw bias, stiff shaft). This club outperformed all others. Even some slightly off center and high on the face shots still got out there well. My numbers for launch angle and spin rate were the best for this club over any others. Now that i have played with it a while, I have gotten 20-30 yards more length without sacrificing accuracy. My recommendation is to go through a club fitting to find what is the right club for you. » Close |

ProV1's are my favorite and have been buying them by the box for many-many years-- probably shortly after it came out in the late 90s. I normally would play a new sleve of 3 and alternate them every six holes and play about 4 rounds of it... If it doesn't get lost before I retire it...

Over the weekend, I was asked by a friend to play these Top-Flite FEEL to see if I could get over with its name. I said, "Bob, do you realize what you're asking me to do?!?" (just kidding) I gladly did...
All I could say are all good things about this Top-Flite Ball after that round. It really plays great. Very soft feel off the driver and irons. Spins well when you want it to and best of all, IT REALLY FEELS GOOD PUTTING IT. Usually, when on the putting green, the ball almost reveals a certain quality. but this ball ROCKS! I don't mean a rock. Heavens this is a great golf ball!!!
It is unbelieveable how good this ball plays. I must say that I will be picking up more of TOP-FLITE Feel and play more of it.
I've waited a while before I posted this rating... This is a good ball to play good golf with. » Close |

I compared this ball against the Pro V1x that I usually play. I thought this ball was a little harder and not quite as long off the tee. Doesn't spin as much using approach irons. The ball is more durable, at least it didn't look as scuffed up after 1 round as the Pro V1x. At close to $40/dozen,... » MoreI compared this ball against the Pro V1x that I usually play.

This ball is best for decent ball strikers, as the ball tends to spin a lot. The E6 would be best for a straight distance ball. This ball performs almost as well as the higher end 3 piece balls. A good ball without breaking the bank.
The main difference that I felt from this ball and the higher end 3 piece balls is that they do not compress the same. As a result the feel is not the same as the higher end 3 piece balls. Still a very good ball that will give you feel, distance, and spin. » Close |
