I Bought The Worlds Most EXPENSIVE Golf Balls!

[@gr33nl4nt3rn]

I can't help but think that because the Attomax went so much higher in the air, and still around the same distance as the ProV1, that the Attomax balls could gain an extra 20+ yards at a lower angle of flight.

[@Whiter1]

Yea I reckon it would take a complete club refit to get it suited to the ball flight

[@guibox3]

Yes, this is true. If the Attomax were hit at a lower flight, they would be going further.

[@robsengahay5614]

Good point. Maybe if Rick was to hit 10 drives each with a lower lofted driver the Attomax would come out on top.

[@steve5x565]

Oh my god, no they wouldn’t. The physics of the claim is complete bullshit

Uber amateur golfer (sub-talented enthusiast) and please excuse my ramble. This channel is by far my 'go to' and most enjoyable by far. Covers all aspects of the game, and I mean all aspects. There is not an episode that I don''t pick up something that I can/have applied. How to stop slicing, which irons, how to use the dam things, distance vs club - I can go on...Rick explains it in a way that the common wheel can understand and not in a 'pro-to-pro' way many other channels narrate. He is also humble and recognizes errors in his play and how he would rectify, again many other channels would never go near this OR even show the pro golfer making anything but a perfect shot. That my friends is why Rick is the best. 100% relatable.

I went into a creek by an expensive golf course and found over 1000 golf balls , really good ones too

[@JackMills003]

2 piece balls are easier to putt, realistically unless you consistently get extra yardage from a premium ball and that extra yardage gets you on the green a shot sooner, regularly... 2 piece are actually the better balls to use unless you're getting paid to use something else. Fools will be told what to think.

[@amarug]

Two points: if the attomax goes so much higher, it could be that with a differently lofted driver they would go farther in average. Also, I saw there was quite a strong wind. If the attomax goes so high, it will spend more time in the air and higher up, the winds are typically even stronger. So with headwind and your current driver, they will take a double punch, while if you did the same test with wind from the back, they would profit from the situation. So, loved the video, but I am not 100% convinced that this concluded the story once-and-for-all :)

[@someguywhocanfly]

Good points, would be nice to get a more scientific/thorough test, but I don't think Rick is the guy to do it. I'm sure there are some very scientific golfers out there - Bryson Dechambeau would be perfect if he wasn't spending all his time being a pro!

[@Vee-Hive]

I would love you to revisit this test mid summer when the fairways are harder... that could be quite fun!

Love this test and also reading the comments. Interesting how the Attomax went higher. A lower ball flight may have matched the ProV’s distance. I don’t think the Attomax would go farther though. Rick’s GC Quad machine proved that too.

[@NateEdwardsGolf]

Rick you and your team behind the scenes are the best! Love the content and your passion for golf thank you.

[@LifeofLegs]

Nice one Rick! What was really interesting for me were the distance groupings, the Attomax was actually seemed more consistent, all kind of in that middle distance range, whereas the ProV's had 2 in the short "band", 4 in the middle and 3 were the longest.

[@samhirst7331]

I thought that aswell. I'd actually love to see what the soft ones are like. Don't think its very fair to compare one of the softest balls on the market with a brands hardest ball.

@@26japrey yeah. I mean I always game the Pro V's and other fancy balls that I find in the thick rough, water, and under trees first , but when I run out of those I only play the Kirkland's. I heard the new Aren't as great though, I guess they listened to too many scratch golfers and pros and made the ball harder and less spinny to account for their faster swing speeds but like, really. Those guys are playing Pro V's etc al. Anyways, so it's an asinine design decision to me when your average 15-40 hdcp+ golfer needs the softness, forgiveness, and boosted spin to keep it in play.

My Dad used to tell me about a Dunlop Golfball back in the 70’s to mid 80’s that was a wound golfball that had a steel ball bearing in the center of it that was wound with rubber bands. He said those things would fly when hit with a persimmon or laminated maple driver. Then Dunlop just stopped making them. $20.00 a ball is crazy expensive.

Hey Rick. Absolutely love all your videos. Why not try having Guy be the test subject for some of these ball comparisons or even club comparisons. He may be more in line with the consumer who is looking to gain a few yards with a different club or ball for that matter. Even if both of you do the comparison together.

Thanks Rick, can't you just to a static bounce test and measurement? Also why not adjust loft and spin characteristics of the driver to suit/optimise the flight, that flight is so different? Put a lower spin and lofted driver on, and the Pro V1s will be trounced (10p bet).

From the results the Attomax seems more consistent in length having 8 of them right around the 280 mark and only 4 or 5 Titleist on this area. But yea... Not paying double for that. :D

[@NFiltr8Red]

When I first started golfing 9 months ago, all I liked playing was SuperSoft. Now I can’t play with them, too mushy and impedes my distance. Bridgestone and Vice is my go to, although I would be tempted to hit one of those $20 balls to say I did. Sounds like a Cheap TopFlight.

[@FinlayPacks]

It's possible they create more spin than the prov1's and therefore require a lower loft, maybe give it a go with the LTDx LS or Stealth MAX, the massive height will definately be losing difference on these balls, so if they are similar to the prov1s now, I wouldn't be surprised if they could actually go further

If the Attomax balls go so high, can you crank down the loft of the driver to get it to fly lower, and hopefully farther?

[@misterhomes1033]

You noted that Attomax ball went much higher. I can't help but wonder if Attomax used a lower degree driver on their machine during their `testing`, and then used the same lower loft for the standard brand golf balls, thus reducing carry distance
