These CHEAP TEMU Golf Balls Are KILLING The Pro V1!?

[@tommcnutt2582]

Love to see Wilson Triad and Wilson Staff compared to the ProV’s.

[@MrCraigNic]

I use any grade A balls i can buy for a decent price from Facebook marketplace. But last month I did buy new a triple dozen bundle of Mizuno RB566 balls, just because it said they were good in cold conditions, and can offer more carry by extending the flight beyond the apex, and they are decent and are really durable for the price. Realistically though, for a high handicapper, a golf ball is a golf ball, we don't want to spend almost £4 a ball to lose a few a round

[@boydgrandy5769]

I have been playing Snell golf balls for the last 3 or 4 years. This year, I got 5 dozen Snell MTB Prime balls for about $130 USD. I play indoor golf in the winter, got them in November, and I am still playing with the first sleeve. I play in a league once a week and my buddy and I play an additional 3 rounds on selected courses (simulated of course) each month, so these balls have more than a dozen rounds on them. So far they are not getting chewed up by the wedges and short irons, they spin really well and go just as far as any of the premium balls I've played.

[@Exasperatedgolf]

I’m with you there mate, I love the Snell ball and I’ve just taken possession of 5 boxes for the summer season and beyond, if I don’t lose one they easily do 2 rounds plus

[@robusangolf]

Why the not so subtle digs with Gary promoting golf in Pakistan? I think it is awesome that he is opening up that area of the world to golf.

[@richardjacobs7632]

Winter I use the Wilson Zip, Callaway Superfast, or Precept Laddie. Thanks

[@DrPapa14]

OnCore elixr or vero x1. I have the OnCore membership. I love these golf balls. The price and the quality are absolutely outstanding!!

[@philipcook5921]

Srixon Marathon Soft less than £1 a ball from Sports Direct are my go to winter ball

[@Pud56]

Gary Martin and his Caiton golf balls are great, even my club pro now uses them

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

I played with them… they are far from great IMO lol feel so HARD!

[@paulgreen8228]

It’s good to see you both on the course playing a few holes.

[@grahamfox7568]

I never buy balls, I invested £25 into a Callaway 15 foot extending ball retriever and a banging UV light. The extending ball retriever gets me lake balls other players simply can't reach with their puny 10 footers. Size really does matter. Also if I'm upto it after a round of golf at the end of the day I'll walk an extra hole or two and find balls with the UV light. Typically 40-50 plus whatever I pull from lakes during the round. I keep the premium balls for myself like Pro V1, Chromesoft and TP5, the rest I give away. Forget expensive balls, buy these two items and never worry about cost or balls again.

[@KieranHannon1]

Seed SD01 and SD02 have replaced the ProV1 and 1x in my bag. So good and great value

[@bradleymetcalf7494]

Ball striking masterclass from chris again on the first. Good job he’s a short game expert. Great video again lads 👌🏻

[@JedediahKerkhoff]

Funny I noticed the footage improvement right when James said so. Looks great! Great content again… I have bought a few things from Temu and haven’t been too disappointed yet.

[@davidthegolfer]

I applaud your campaign to make golf more affordable. Have you ever made a comparison between premium used, reconditioned, lake, etc. They are often sold cheaply, have the look and brand but do they still perform?

[@stevenochoa9904]

I live near a golf course. I just walk along the street along the fairway and collect the balls people hit out of the course. I usually get at least a dozen each time. I haven't purchased a golf ball in quite a while.

[@rodbonjovi]

Chrome Tour X.... best ball on the market Spins Goes miles runs on the ground.... Test it James...you will be a fan

[@albonthegoat]

I have a subscription with Piper golf through their website. Great feel and the Greens spin less off the driver than any ball I've ever played. They're cheaper than premium ball because they're direct to consumer. Give them a review! They sell a variety pack for cheap.

[@ncb2734]

I have bought loads of gold accessories from Temu. Brushes, tees, divot tools, microfibre towels. Ball marker. BOA lace kits, No issues at all

[@JDODSON7]

PGM makes quality stuff. It used to be a lot cheaper in price though, prices have been creeping upward in the last couple of years. But I've been playing a few rounds with the PGM Soft 2 balls and actually found them to be quite workable, a dozen for $15 USD.

[@ChukkieB0Y]

Thank you for the balanced point. People are blinded by premium brand loyalty which in the already expensive golfing world doesn’t quite cut it

[@shanemiller1684]

The new Costco Yellow! 2 Dozen for $27.99! Best deal going right now IMO! +4 Handicapper!

[@matthewdibenedetto5880]

Lowest rated ball of the year on my golf spy.

[@shanemiller1684]

Well, I guess that’s others opinions… but as a scratch golfer, if they work good enough for me and haven’t effected my handicap then I’ll stick with them for $14.99 a dozen 😁⛳️ Played Vice Pro Plus and AVX before the Kirkland. To each their own…

[@cgasucks]

I agree. I'm a 4 handicap and got over 300 Kirkland balls stashed in my basement. They're plenty good for me.@@shanemiller1684

[@safranic]

If you want a ball that spins off the planet.

[@BakoSooner]

Since retiring and joining my country club, I haven't purchased any golf balls at all. In fact, the 8 dozen balls I purchased before retirement are still in their original boxes. I fish balls out of our lakes. And, not surprisingly, majority of the balls I find are either Prov V1 or Pro V1x. What does this say? Way too many people are buying golf balls above their abilities. And I appreciate them for doing so.

[@tjvbham5831]

I just purchased several dozen of the Seed SD-01 balls based on you & Chris's review and performance on your Next 100 series. I've played one round with them and quite liked the feel and results. I had been playing the Callaway ERC Soft and the Vice Pro balls. I don't really trust TEMU based on some other reviews of products they sell.

[@DanielS8778]

I'd love to see a comparison of the new Snell MTB Prime X and MTB Prime vs. ProV1

[@Exasperatedgolf]

Bet they are close !

[@scottdresen4940]

How about testing the OnCore Elixir balls, I was very surprised by how good they are.

[@DrPapa14]

I use the elixir and the verox1. Fantastic golf balls. I’m an OnCore golfer.

[@kolchak357]

Should have tried the Caiton golf balls that Gaz was loving. Said they outplayed the Kirkland at a bargain price. ⛳️

[@andymckinnon4823]

I actually bought them and I'm very surprised with them. They feel like they should be super hard but actually play soft 🤷‍♂️ well worth £15 a dozen

[@terryallen7185]

I would like to see a review of the Bridgestone E9 long drive ball.

[@danielowen5889]

This is what I use... very nice for a decent price.. did I mention I drive them 275 plus. Great feel,good spin...

[@madubtDFS]

Didn't have to bury Gary like that....

[@joannaespley6035]

Tend to buy balls from reputable online golf retailers. Can generally pay under £3 per ball which i'm happy with. Have found a couple of Wilson balls on my golf course and was super impressed and consider them for next purchase.

[@guyr7351]

I’ll play almost anything other than Srixon, for some reason if I use a Srixon I’ll lose it within 3 holes. Only exception was a Z star I found I had that for two rounds before it disappeared. With the horrible winter conditions we have had where a plugged / lost ball is too common I use cheaper, used and scuffed balls in my bag. I have found a few Slazenger V300 and these perform well. I have about 4 dozen brand new vice, Kirkland, TP5’s waiting for the spring/summer

[@ashwitmoro]

All the digs at Gary were cracking me up.

[@reddoggod1969]

I jumped on the Temu site and they have a ton of PGM golf gear, I'd love to see a review of some the gear as well....bags, shoes, clubs ect.

[@donauwellenreiter]

I had a PGM wedge before,the one with colour black,blue or gold. That was my favorite wedge until I lost it

[@FrankieSanchezGolf]

Since you’re on Temu, I’ve been debating myself to do a review on the ping g430 look alike, and the wedges and putters and irons. But I think your reviews would be much better.

[@justaldo9149]

you should try the PGM Clubs as well, I think there is also the titanium set which are interesting 👍

[@Reloadeez]

Black dot logo overrun pro v1 and pro v1x is best value. They are brand new logo balls that weren't used at corporate and tour events. Titleist blacks the logo out on them when sold, they cost $2.50 per ball if bought in 6 dozen quantity or $2.25 per ball if bought in 25 dozen quantity.

[@davidfowles1252]

Great to see you talking balls again with the mighty Chris

[@johnjohn1cooer]

For those of us who play golf for fun and enjoyment and don't expect 280 yard drives, these balls give good value for the price.

[@KeithMcLaughlin-x6d]

Most of us are disappointed by the distance the ball goes in the winter. Various reasons are given - denser air, no run on the ball, too bundled up with clothing etc. but what about the balls themselves. Most plastics get harder when cold so what is the difference between a ball at 0 C straight from the bag on a frosty morning and the same ball on a warm day? Should we all be playing softer balls in the winter or carry a spare ball in the pocket with a handwarmer so at least the Tee shot is with a warm ball (and is this legal?) Can you do a test to see the difference?

[@beachfraser3747]

James , need your help, been using PROV1 balls , are they going to help me with distance on a wet day in the UK, in other words what ball is the best , in your opinion, for winter conditions , never mind the price, cheers bro

[@jonbuikema7399]

Plenty of budget options non Temu. Walmart in US had $20 Tour soft and Q star tour brand new a dozen. Found options online or local are $1 a ball here for Prov or other pro balls. The others are 2 for $1

[@25Patman]

Dude, sells used prov1's in the parking lot of one of the golf courses i go to. I grab a few usually.

[@garydavis8213]

Would like to see reviews of (1) Srixon Soft Feel (green box), Taylormade Distance, (3) Callaway Supersoft, and (4) Mizuno RB Tour X.

[@davidmann9022]

I play Maxfli Tour X. They are great balls at a great price.

[@WeldonGarrett]

I bought a 3 ball pack of the PGM Golf Balls. I found for me, they hit farther than most balls. Not sure about the TP5s that I really love, but they have become very expensive. The only difference was around the green. The wanted to roll a long ways on the green and were a little hard to control. If I spent time with them I am sure I could learn to control them. But would take some work on the faster greens.

[@themadasian74]

The retail price for premium balls have remained the same. So no they haven’t “become very expensive”. They’ve always been expensive.

[@aimeagle]

Have you ever done the "float" test where you out the ball in salty water and see if the weight is centered? To me that is the biggest part is the ball centered. Obviously, what its made of and how firm it is i cannot test lol

[@patrickmurphy4860]

I really like sugar golf. I buy a sugar cube every spring

[@briangray00]

I'd rather play 150 times a year and form an opinion based on what I find fellas; I haven't bought a ball in 4 years. My friend hit a skier 100 yards straight today, which we couldn't find. I'm pretty sure the earth is going to present a fairly pristine ball back soon. I find a lot of Srixon balls, which reassures me I'm not a great golfer. Have you done a video on the ball limiting change? I think it's mental. There's many billions of balls kicking around, already (I probably have 50; I don't want any more). Come 2030 we suddenly have to pay to hit lesser ones? Who's benefiting from this change of rules? I'd be interested in your opinions. Mine is I enjoy finding golf balls (some more than others..)

[@nicwp7320]

During winter I tend to use Srixon Distance (30 Handicap) but I find they cut up really easily

[@DMKFACTOR]

Try the Titleist Trufeel. My go to for winter as a 10 handicap, and I’ve been using them since I was a beginner 30 handicapper in 2019!

[@MrPastySteve]

Not sure how you manage to cut up Srixon Distance!? They're like rocks.

[@500VulcanRider]

James, where is your Toulon putter, I used to see you roll so many in with that.

[@atfinthehouse8631]

The age old comparison. Which ball to use. Do found balls, premium balls, lesser expensive balls are better / just as good. What should you pay for a golf ball?

[@doggoronnie3387]

Would love to see you test a/pearl grade lake balls Vs brand new balls - they're more affordable and would be interesting to see if performance is actually lost

[@milton359]

Without club head speed and smash factor it's difficult to analyze the efficiency of the ball. Spin and other parameters do help

[@tommiethatcher7265]

Always enjoyable watching you two guys test golf balls, my come from the golf club and clubhouse golf

[@davidrichard4300]

I would love for yall to try the new callaway supersoft splattered. Some have said the formula has changed and that new alignment setup looks amazing

Inuse callaway supersoft. Gonna try the wrc soft this year. Like the trufeels but not with the putter. Love them off the tee and irons tho.

In private rounds I play the kasco Zeus impact 3. They are smaller and lighter (44gr). I gain with them 20 yards with a swing speed of 75mph. This is really crazy. Easy launch. Average stopping power. Those balls going miles. I feel like Tiger 🏌️

Regarding the purchase of golf balls , I simply watch for Callaway or Srixon on sale

[@barracatcher6466]

I guess it’s a moot point because where I live I doesn’t get too cold, but I am a Vice Pro player all year round. I generally wait for the 6 dozen for the price of 5 deal and buy in bulk for the year. They suit my game. Perhaps that’s a variable that needs a couple of videos dedicated to discovering. Obviously the BEST ball on the market isn’t going to suit everyone, in fact it can be extremely detrimental to their game. Could make for great content. Golfzon testing with an “average” golfer testing several balls and getting some numbers.

James please enough trying to beat Titleist ProV1 , next time you visit the states go north to the Titleist plant in Massachusetts. Go through the plant and see why they have remained number 1 for so long, you will understand why they are so good. You can also vis the Callaway plant in Chicopee west of Boston. But please keep trying these are the best ball reviews on the internet. Thanks you and Chris are really good!

[@SharonGeorge-gu8lz]

I noticed several things while you were testing the Temu golf ball. Several times you used your partners driver instead of yours, was there a reason for that? As a viewer I feel much better about any test when I can see the results or at least the testing myself. You stated that in the indoor testing the Pro-V tested out better and you put up the numbers which means we can only take your word for it. Also, on the final hole you and Chris played you both drove the green and had eagle putts....not sure if I have ever seen you both do that even while using your preferred golf balls!

[@craigforecast9168]

I find it easier just buying grade A pro v1s etc from the local golf ball collector.. at 1.50 a ball, I don’t care about loosing the odd ball or forgetting to pick up my provisional’s 🤦🏽‍♂️ Plus it’s a great way to test out a decent selection of balls without paying 50 quid a box
