troll, in all honesty i don't think 155 yards with 9-iron is that big a deal. i can be
7 or 8 iron and i play with guys that hit way, way further than me. and unless i play a top private club the ball almost always stops near the ball mark.

yeah I know, thats one of the many reason for me sucking

I actually hit my short irons pretty well for a bad player, its a pretty rare occurrence to shank or miss hit anything lower than my 6 iron (might not always go where I want it to but distance is almost always good).

imo two biggest things which prevent me from breaking 100 consistently are

a) I suck ass off the tee, I've basically abandoned my woods and just hit irons now and while it seems to help a little with my accuracy problem, I'm obviously losing a lot of distance

b) I 3 putt almost every green

Here is how a typical approach goes for me. Hit 9 iron from 150-160, it lands 20-30 yards to the left or right of the green, chip on, 3 putt.

blindfold tested against pro v1's and no one could tell the difference between the balls they missed

do u have a link for this blindfold test? I find this very hard to believe, unless this test was conducted by top flite.

Its a joke son - 'Ya missed it!

Where's this course and who is it with? Sounds interesting.

I haven't played these very much yet. Which ones are good? I'm not interested in paying the same as I do for ProV1s.

I'm a 16 handicap. I hit my 9-iron betwen 150-155 8/10 times, nice big arc. In fact, just past the 150 pole is the absolute perfect spot for me to hit a 9-iron. Why would that be so hard to believe?

Also, on the two misses, I'm usually long and left, or divot chunking for about ~120.

I have pretty much the exact same game as you, club selection wise, not in handicap...

Check out the Pinnacle Exception. I believe they are made in the same factory as ProV's and are very similar for about ~$15-18/doz.

My favorite thing about reading the Golf forum is people who overestimate there drives.

There are only 11 Golfers on the PGA tour who average more than 300 yards. 11 PEOPLE ONLY 11, and yet people still stake that claim.

260-270 I could see, so please stop saying 300, you sound like an idiot, and everyone knows youre lying, and stop defending yourself after you are called out it makes it worse.


And to answer OPs original question.
Target Recycled/Refurbished/Rewhatevered Pro V1s 12 pack for 25bucks , they hi fine.
Or
Overstock.com think I seen them for like 2 bucks a ball, high quality.

Send my dad in the woods... Like I do.. Or have a friend who works for Titleist.

Way to make the statistics say what you want them to say. I said my average drive is "around 300." 11 golfers are over 300, but 62 are over 290 and almost all are over 275. And that includes the occasional 3 woods they hit on the driving distance measured holes. I'd say it's reasonable to say a majority of PGA Tour players drive it "around 300." And so do it.

I'm not claiming to average over 300. I say I hit my good drives "around 300." Which puts me well in the vicinity of the average pro. And if that makes you skeptical, fine, but I really don't give a crap. You're welcome to come carry my bag on my next round and watch. I'm not claiming to be a pro. But using misleading single statistics and exaggerating my claims is tooly.

Overall tour average is 289 (2007), which your still not doing Im sure.

At one point with a wind to your back on a downhill hole and with a rock hard ground and tons of roll you once hit it 299.

I once had that scenario and hit it 642 yards on a par 3 with a 60degree lob wedge, so I know what I am talking about

whatever helps you sleep at night, big man.

My god, everyone gets their panties bunched in a wad when they're talking about distance.

While I agree that OP probably doesn't "average" 300+, I see absolutely nothing wrong with hitting a 9 iron 155. I used to hit mine 150 when I was in the low single digits, and I wasn't even that long.

http://www.onlygolfballs.com/contact.htm cheap and door to door. I know the guys that run and dive for the balls and the grade 1 Pro V's are awesome.

I wish people would stop using PGA driving distance numbers because it doesn't take into account people choosing to hit a hybrid/3wood or long iron off the tee. It also doesn't take into account a 'real' average since it's not measuring every single full drive they make...

imo, 10% of the time, I hit it 300 everytime!

A good compromise is ProV1 practice, or ProV1 X-outs. Both come new from Titleist, and cost like half as much as the regular dozen. The worst I've seen is very slight paint defects.
