WORLD'S CHEAPEST GOLF BALL VS PRO V 1 AT QUINTA DO LAGO NORTH GOLF COURSE

[@GOLFMATESGOLD]

WHAT GOLF BALL DO YOU PLAY WITH .....AND WHY DO YOU USE IT .............GREAT question THIS

[@GOLFMATESGOLD]

ANY NOW

[@skelly8425]

Callaway chrome soft. Like the feel round the green and not overly expensive.

[@joecain6722]

Calaway chrome soft. Because I liked the colour of the box they come in hahaha

[@steveford11]

I like the look of the red chrome soft truvis, don't think it's changed my game much though

[@paulsearle1405]

At the moment I'm playing slazenger soft but not really fussed. I can duff and thin any ball going

[@mwillgo]

Liam, the golf industry must hate you! 😂 Your channel is a real blessing for regular golfers. I don’t see buying much anymore. I will only look to replace my 4 iron with something easier to hit. There is nothing wrong with my clubs if I’m being totally honest. I will only buy cheap golf balls. Cut Golf sells balls for $9.95 a dozen. Thanks for keeping it honest and real. You are indeed the People’s Golfer.

[@davidedwards7255]

Cant believe this vid has had 3 dislikes Woot !! Oh hang on ... got it now. 1. Titilest Pro V Manufactirer 2. Srixon Manufacturer 3. Taylormade Manufacturer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrMikeT89]

It 7 now, maybe their separate divisions? Lol

[@nicted9308]

A great demonstration Liam on cheap v premium ball. You can chip and run a cheaper ball up to hole all day long, but if you can make it stop with spin at the hole side you need a premium ball. Its all about what you want with a ball hard or soft feel, I have changed from Pro V 1 to Wilson Staff soft spin a while back and like the feel of them. You have proved that you can still score well with cheap balls, Someone else might have suggested that you should test the Bomb in summer conditions and so did I thanks.

[@baysideangler9709]

Liam-loved UR poll. My correct answer is that I play expensive balls THAT I FIND! I’m about 1-2 more stroke handicap than U but play a very challenging course where the average player loses 6-12 balls/round. When the thick grass goes dormant, there are LOTS to find, thus I’m selective as I can be. Best part is they COST $0. Great work, please keep it up

[@jeffcalhoun796]

Ahhh LIAM! You’ve made my day lad! Thank you for showing what I have experienced as well! The public is getting taken for a ride by those expensive manufacturers!. Well done! GO OMP!!

[@paulcoulter5292]

The best golf channel on KZbin by a country mile keep it up Liam 👍

[@mitchfitzpatrick3539]

As expected, another outstanding good video. Golfers can now save some money and have another round at the bar. I Play WILSON DUO and love the soft feel.

[@alanritchie5295]

Hi it’s jeff from Edinburgh just started watching your vlogs brilliant I must be taking golf way to seriously no wonder I can’t get my handicap down Going to start relaxing and enjoying golf ,thanks to you and the boys You bring the fun back it to golf

[@gavin6535]

Cracking vlog mate👍🏻 starting to really like this channel 😂 i play with whatever is in the bags..... new or old, it doesn’t matter, they both get lost the same way.

[@pjb1986]

Great test Liam & great video. The rush and run to zoom in was immense. Keep up the good work mate.

[@kieranfleming5092]

great video Liam I'm with you I don't think there is enough noticable difference for amateur golfers 👍🏌️‍♂️

[@keithharris6442]

Love the music and the testing. Never bought a pro v in my life. Great ball, I find plenty and use them. Never spend more than 2 quid a ball, I'm off 11, not good enough. Won't use hard balls though, don't like the click. Saving the Bomb you gave me when I play Chorlton Liam, late winter/spring all being well. Great video, cheers mate

[@alanhumphrey258]

Your videos are looking very professional, love the drone shots, keep up the good work Liam!

[@jeffto23ify]

Brilliant Vlog Liam those bombs look good , and the course looked Great . camera work and music Fantastic , well done pal

[@skimboards4life]

I think the ball that saves me the most strokes are the high vis ones to be honest. I don't often play at super nice courses, and I'm not a great golfer. Sometimes the grass is long enough to lose a ball while it's still technically in play. I end up with lower rounds just by not taking lost ball penalties. My personal favourite are Maxfli Softfli in the high vis green.

[@ssgenx2847]

I get so pumped when the first song drops!

[@glennwisse6271]

Totally agree. For the average golfer the ball makes little difference. I use Pro v1 most of the time but I occasionally used different brands and I score the same. I like the callaway warbird. Great ball for the money. Loved the intro music. Great vid mate.

[@atscottcarnoustie2946]

We've had this conversation pal and I'm with you 100%. Keep keeping it real my friend 👍

[@davewatts7444]

Great video golfmate and I totally agree with you about handicap and balls. I never use a " premium golf ball " my handicap is 21 but would be hung drawn and quartered if I used it !!!! I loved Dunlop tour soft dead cheep sold by the shed full by SD. So much so they stopped selling them because they where loosing money. I want a ball that goes not stops. Keep up the good work

[@0SongDog0]

I've tested like that. Played 2 balls, high end and low end, and ended up 1-2 strokes different between the two. To most of us, it really doesn't matter what ball we truly play. I choose a ball per feel👍 Love this kind of stuff keep do'n what your do'n

[@sandhall1539]

Loved the test fair as always been with channel since last Xmas keep up the good work. I play with anything bought a boat load/ carrier bags full of balls for 40 pound easy last a year with course pick ups. I do have a favorite though I love Molitor golf balls my mates think I'm mad but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[@odaat1985]

Liam, great fun. I play Srixon zstars ( for the most part free to me ), chromesofts, provi, x. Premium balls all. Was playing last week here in Arizona and pulled a found WS Duo out of my bag and proceeded to hit a series of drives at least 15 yards longer than the zstar I had been playing that day. Maybe better swings and strikes with the Duo but there definitely was a big difference and I didn't notice any downside in chipping and putting. So a couple of things-confidence with the Duo, better swings and strikes, premium balls over rated by us silly boys. I am a 6 handicap and still get around pretty good for a geezer (69). Maybe golfballs are like women-doesn't matter so much as long as it is different. Cheers.

[@vincentsutherland3175]

GOLF MATES....HOW GOOD IS LIAMS VLOGS NOW.....WELL DONE BUDDY... keep smiling.

[@kilroywasere6706]

Bless you Liam going out in the sunshine on that lovely course all for the golmates to save money on them over priced balls😂😂 great test & video #Go Team OMP

[@rushton9753]

Lovin the the music Liam 🎵🎧🎼🇬🇧

[@128koh]

Another great video mate you are the most honest guy. I have so much pleasure watching all your videos, bear in mind I am OMP age group. Regards Peter NZ

[@bobmurphy3061]

Great real world test. I use Snell black and Costco 3 piece balls. Between those two I can’t tell the difference. Costco costs about 1 USD per ball. The Snell is about $2.

[@tonypettitt5779]

Liam another great vlog that just goes to show there is no need to spend lots of money on a name. I use Srixon marathon soft £12 for 24. My golf mates use Pro v's and they tell me that they make loads of difference but you've just proved what I've been saying all along. Plus I'm not bothered about losing the odd ball or three.

[@paulfoster5121]

Always keep smiling Liam , love your honesty, love you're humour and love you're vlog's mate !!! DON'T PACK IT ALL IN 😁😁😁 please

[@joshuakelley712]

Loved the video. I actually live less than 30 minutes away from a store that sells the Top Flight Bomb. I might try them next round I play. Personally, I use a ball from a company called Snell. I play their Get Sum ball. They’re around $21 USD for a dozen, but you have to order them online because Snell doesn’t sell their product in-store.

[@Kasting_Vibes]

I need the intro song in my life haha. It gets me in a happier mood then gets stuck in my head for hours.

[@Kasting_Vibes]

@@GolfMates thank you that song is just simply amazing 😁

[@GolfingMalky]

Great vlog Liam; that course does look flipping great Super testing of the two types of balls; honest and fair PLUS its enjoyable to watch Keep up the good work Cheers from #500

[@karlwoolley9092]

Crikey Liam, playing like that you’d have had a good round with my granny’s glass eye. Lake balls all the way for me. 60p a pop. People say the ProV1X is the softest feeling ball on the market but if you’ve ever been hit by one of them you’d disagree! Great video, mate.

[@williamparke8868]

Could not agree with you more Liam mate. Vlog the vlog. Keeps getting better and better. ❤️ ❤️

[@Michaelsjpx]

awesome video and course have fun Liam .......great comparison Liam your spot on you don't need premium to play golf ....cheers golf mate

[@davidgraham2370]

Anything north of the border is Northern Ireland Liam, please don’t send any more bombs our direction 😂😂😂 #golfmates 😝

[@osu7898]

Always smiling. Great vid. I'm a high handicapper. Might try the bomb. Looks....interesting.

[@jsmecky4257]

Gonna have to get some of these bomb balls and give em a go. Great post as always Liam. Enjoy the sun whilst you can snowing at home. 🥶🥶🥶

[@mrcur0]

I'd like to see eBay pond balls vs cheap/expensive ball test. Great video Liam

[@alexdeel2339]

AVX. Liam great points you made in the video and something to think about. Well done

[@markfoote4919]

Great test Liam. I think it's the same with a lot of golf equipment, unless your a pro, it doesn't really matter what you play with. I'm certainly not going out buying a 500 quid driver with my handicap, I'll buy one that's a couple of years old, it'll perform just as well for me. I currently play with any softer ball on offer at my local sports shop!! I really think it's only when your playing golf for a living that it will make any difference, and those guys have everything supplied for them anyway!

[@davidleigh2573]

Great test Liam . Your golf was great and chipping superb. I play Mizuno JPX £20 a dozen they are brilliant. Cheers mate

[@michaelgane4378]

I play with a callaway chrome soft, the trivia are a bit of a gimmick and I find them hard to find in the rough. The feel and spin on these balls are brilliant though, they whip across the green!

[@allanmannion9028]

I would just like to say Liam, I do like your choice of music.

[@calvinswart919]

I normally try buy the used (That are still in good shape) golf balls at my local courses club house most of them have been hit like 5-10 times. I can get used Pro V1 for like R10 a ball (50p in pounds). For me i feel more comfortable using Pro v's as it gives me the confidence it will stop on the green especially in South Africa where its dry all year round.

[@kennymchardy]

Great video on a great course 👍🏌️

[@emilymary99]

Great stuff Liam...."cheap balls" brilliant ☺

[@frankmoore2699]

Top Class again Liam total entertainment. Seriously though how many pairs of golf shoes you got my mrs says you are the Imelda Marcos of Bolton

[@barracatcher6466]

I have played the Titleist NXT tour for many years. Find it a great all round ball. I buy them near mint, second hand online, and for the price they a magnificent balls. Good feel, durability, plenty of stopping cred , etc etc. Previous to these I was a fan of the Srixon AD 333, they were a great ball as well, but I can honestly say from my observation, they tended to always give that extra HOP before checking up properly, and lets be honest who wouldnt prefer every put to be 2 or 3 feet closer?. Any how me old China, just thought i would slip my 2 bobs worth in. Cheers to all the Golf Mates from Queensland , Australia.

[@aidanjuddgolf1826]

Great video Liam, might have to go check out the Bomb Balls

[@jpquinn91]

Very much with you that the average player won't notice much difference in scores. I am cat 1 and I don't notice a lot of difference but there are certain shots where you need to stop the ball quickly where I know the premium ball will help and I do think you get a bit more 'feel' off them.

[@garathdavis2632]

Bombing it liam

[@SmithyGolfs]

I generally play the Taylormade Project a balls (When im feeling flush) But have had just a good round using Wilson dx2 and even lake balls. I'd say an expensive ball isn't going to save a bad shot, people worry so much about spin numbers and forget you've got to strike it decent first. Great video once again Liam!

[@nate1593]

Love it mate!

[@lothario4one]

Great video! I agree, sometimes name brand is not worth your game. I do not have preferred golf ball brand I use. If it’s on sale, it’s in my bag. I used to love the Hogan golf ball, however!!!!

[@skimboards4life]

Hi Liam, I just saw these new Callaway Supersoft Magna balls at the store this weekend. Meant to be for some of us higher handicappers. As a result, I don't expect they'll get much real testing as everyone seems to be looking for that extra yardage, but you seem to like debunking golf equipment propaganda. I'd be happy if I was just making solid contact more often, I'm curious to know if they're actually easier to hit being slightly larger. Would you consider trying them out for us?

[@skimboards4life]

@@GolfMates I'm in Canada, doesn't make sense to ship across the pond. But if there's a good way to reach you privately, I'll donate $10 and you can pick up a sleeve on your end?

[@alansmith7071]

Great video Liam. Beginning was like a GOLFHOLICS video .... but with proper accents :)

[@randyunderwood2894]

what a beautiful place. enjoy yourself!! i use a variety of balls. whatever i kind on the course. but, Q-star, wilson duo spin are my favs.

[@Simposiarch]

Good lesson for us all, Liam. I still use the seed, cos I like spreading my seed all over the place.

[@Simposiarch]

@@GolfMates Can't wait!

[@alanheseltine7959]

Well done pal, I certainly don't use the cheapest balls but I also don't use the most expensive ones either, I usually go around middle of the road for quality and cost.

[@gregorygray3152]

Liam. What’s the tune at the start.

[@adrianfairfield9737]

Talormade project a. I like the sound of the club face and the price at £24 can’t be bad. I do have a high ball flight so my decent angle is pretty decent so a harder cheaper ball will not make much difference. Great video keep the content and laughs coming 🏌🏼‍♀️🏌🏼‍♂️🏌🏼‍♂️🏌🏼‍♂️🏌🏼‍♂️🏌🏼‍♂️

[@peterwatt5521]

Im playing Pro V1 because im a BELLEND! Guy in American Golf suggested them...i wonder why? I was using Srixon before and funnily enough i was getting 4 dozen for the price of 2 dozen Pro V1. If i keep losing them at the same rate i will get some...erm those ones we shouldnt talk about...great video Liam

[@stevewatkinson4593]

Slumming it again eh Liam.👍 great vlog.

[@Cornwall1888]

I usually always go back to pro v1 because they feel soft off the putter. I’ve played with a velocity in the summer and it was definitely harder to stop on the green. Callaway super soft also feels great off the putter Tp5’s launch higher Chrome soft feels heavy with driver and comes off the putter faster I can definitely feel a difference between balls and have seen some performance differences, in winter I care less 7 handicap by the way

[@gmg9859]

Brilliant 👍🏻

[@salfordnick5336]

Bang on bomb! But you're right i like the Wilson staff soft....less than £20 for loads and they feel great to me and half the price. Plus 24 will last me 2 seasons at least

[@chrisredfearn1064]

What is the music on this video with the sax?

[@beachfraser3747]

Mate of mine plays the MacGregor distance ball, bought a box (24) on a deal at American Golf £10; Excellent ball, very receptive for a winter green, putts well and for winter golf ideal, would still choose the ProV1 in summer though!! nice vlog mate, how much did you pay for the toupee??? Looks very good!! lol

[@mattmackay2973]

Liam ! , you just found out what OMP new all along , that man play's with spud's and still win's - GO OMP ! , FANTASTIC ....

[@sudinnz]

I totally agree, I play with whatever ball I have in the bag. For us weekend golfers it makes no difference

[@Paul_Clark]

Firstly, another cracking video Liam, bit of an eye opener to say the least. My perception of it comes down to sound and feel and do they get mixed up Or is it both? I find the cheaper golf balls make a clicking sound and the mid-high range balls make more of a thud on shorter shots and putting. Do those sounds transmit into a feel of hard and soft? 🤔

[@bennettsteven]

Great video again Liam,whats the title music at the start called?

[@paulcurotto3884]

Great video Liam. I use Srixon ulti soft golf balls ,the low compression balls are kinder to my wooden wood faces. Ha ha and they are not so expensive that don't feel the need to burst into tears when I lose one.😀

[@ashleyvolz4336]

I play with prov1s but I’ve only been playing 3 months. I can definitely tell the difference. I’ve been trying out the chrome soft balls. I love them but they come off the putter to fast and don’t get as much spin around the green. Very nice feeling golf ball. Liam you need to come down to St Mellion. KZbin it. It’s a international course

[@garyreilly1544]

Honest opinion as ever

[@robertsharp8231]

I use cheap topflight balls .£5 for 50 balls from car boot . It’s the fun and love of the game that keeps me playing

[@gbo099]

Great video again Liam, cheap balls are close to my heart... what a transplant operation that was :) My blog is "Par on a budget" and everything I buy for golf is restricted by price, this year I'm going to be playing Slazenger V300 balls, £18 for 48 @ Sports Direct, not used them yet as courses I play on are on winter greens which I hate, but putting on a mat indoors they feel fine. It's really good to hear you say that the expensive balls are no better than cheap ones.

[@PatrickMclaughlinRock]

Good man Liam😂 there was a bomb just south of here in Derry at the weekend 😉 I'll test them Liam but I'll be brutally honest with you 👍🏼

Padraig Maclochlainn I don’t play in the winter. Better off in the summer. Be interested to see if the cheap ball balloons in high links wind. Off centre hits too

[@PatrickMclaughlinRock]

@@singleputtal Wise man👍 maybe should take a note from your book, yes I'll try them in the wind, down/into/across, downwind will determine how close they are to the Pro V

[@mikefarrell8127]

I did enjoy that laim, it just shows how much hype there is in golf.

[@aedvark]

If you play with rock hard ball you will over time develop medial epicondylitis (golfers elbow) i have it both elbows along with lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) in my left arm, the later from field hockey, when i switched to soft balls e.g pro v, z-star etc the pain went away (almost) though you could play a srixon soft feel or AD333 (slightly more popular in the U.K i believe). Anyway that's my 2 cents (though they are out of circulation here in Australia )

[@grahamstyles9457]

Great video Liam, we've all been brainwashed to believe the premium balls will give us that extra something but in all honesty we're just not good enough to strike it consistly !

[@ericbodley2019]

a proper fair test that Lliam lad, well done, just goes to show .....................

[@rossc2180]

I play off a 1 handicap up at a links course in Scotland and I use pro V 1xs. Just because they give me the best feel on and around the greens and for me work best in windy conditions. However I would be interested to see how the bomb performs as it looks like it’s doing not bad in comparison to some premium balls. Keep posting the great content 👍🏻

[@rossc2180]

I agree. Value for money is a big thing. Well done finding this gem

[@jamesharrito0504]

I play the Chrome Soft because they are cheaper then Pro V’s but your right I play off a 10 and I’m not good enough to see a benefit from a premium ball vs a crap ball. The premium ball just makes us feel like a pro maybe lol thanks Liam love the videos.

I always play with random used balls. I walk through the woods near the course in the spring when the snow melts away and before the brush starts growing in to collect them. I pull a different ball out of my bag every time I play, and have never noticed a difference between any of them.
