Title: Golf Magazine ball review - they've tested them all, and you'll be suprised...
Post by: Tut on January 12, 2008, 03:15:55 PM
to find out their recommendations for you!  I've taken the liberty of studying the article intensely, so you, my cyber friends, won't have to exert yourselves.  Here is an encapsulation of everything you need to know when picking your pill to elevate your game to near tour levels:

If you're really good............................................................................................ProV1x
If you're really good and you want to hit it high.......................................................ProV1x
If you're really good and you want to hit it low........................................................ProV1x
If you're really good and you need a couple of worm burners......................................ProV1x
If you were good, are getting worse, and are pissed about it.....................................ProV1x
If you were good, had a Duval, but are climbing back up...........................................ProV1x
If you're really good and spank it like a raped ape....................................................ProV1x
If you're really good, hit it like Rosie O'Donnel, but have a good short game..................ProV1x
If you put like Helen Keller but look like Frank Nobilo.................................................ProV1x
If you stink...ProV1x
If you stink, but think you're good....................................................................... ProV1x
If you stink, but your friends call you Mr. Hogan......................................................ProV1x
If you stink but want to squeeze a couple of more yards out of your worm burners........ProV1x
If you stink but think you really need a lot of "juice" so you can "pull the string"
around the green, well, your choice is simple..........................................................ProV1x
If you stink with your irons, woods, and putter, but are good with your expandable
ball retriever...ProV1x
If you mostly stink, but look really stylish on the course...........................................ProV1x
If you stink, but play with people who are really good, and you think you need a
"more boring trajectory" to impress them...............................................................ProV1x
If your ss is under 50 mph..................................................................................ProV1x
If your ss is 50-80 mph......................................................................................ProV1x
If your ss is 87 to 112 mph.................................................................................ProV1x
If your ss is over 122 mph, but you angle of attack is less than 2*............................ProV1x
If you can't hit your drives out of your own shadow, but you're working out and
plan to get "buff", well, the ball for you is.............................................................ProV1x

Finally, if your handicap is over 147.3, save your money and steal either range balls or balls from the putt-putt golf course, and use them.  That is, of course, unless you're looking for a little more spin around the green.

Anyway, I think I've saved you from having to read the article, as I think I've captured its essence rather well.  No need to thank me.  That is all.

Your humble servant,
Tut.

Don't mention it Jules.  You've got those high tech Vision glow in the dark golf balls down there anyway.  It's all part of my New Years resolution to give of myself till it hurts, hence that little "your humble servant" thing I threw in at the end.  Glad I could save you a couple of minutes in your day to hang out with your daughter Georgia.  I have a nine year old daughter myself, by the way.

Hey, that means that even I can play the ProV1x!

Tut, thanks for clarfying that for us.

Now, I don't consider myself any of those, so am I excused from having to use a Pro V1X??

 ;)

Thanks for the review Tut.  Unfortunately, my type of game isn't one of those listed, so I'm still not really sure what ball to play.

Tut,

What about someone in their mid thirties, who doesn't suffer from acid reflux disease, wondering about an effective assets manager in a rollover, dealing with stubborn stains an mildew, and on some days not feeling as fresh as they would like?

I've heard that when switching to the proV1x one may experience headaches, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, ****ual side effects, weight gain, and flatulence.  And that playing golf with a proV1x may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure or an erection lasting more than 4 hours.

Should I consult my doctor before switching to the proV1x?

Listen up people!!  I extrapolated from the Golf Mag hot balls article that if ProV1x was running for President, we wouldn't have a golfer in the Oval Office, we'd have a golf BALL in the Oval Office.  I'm not 100% certain, but I think we'd be the first country to have a commander in chief with over 300 dimples!!

Stroh, I apologize for missing you, and anyone else that didn't fit into my categories.  If you can see fit, and your doctor does not too vigorously object, Golf Magazine and Titleist would really pee their pants with joy if you would learn to love ProV1x.  Pepto Bismal, Phen-Fen, ****, salt peter, and Beano, taken together, should mitigate most of the symptoms you describe, Stroh, but if that doesn't work, hit Jules up for a few of those florescent Vision balls from our friends on the other side of the world.  They are the bee's knees, and even if you don't like them to play golf, you can use them as sort of a poor man's solar light system to illuminate the path to your house.

LMAO at this thread. 

BTW, I got a dozen TP Black on clearance at Target.  How does it compare to the Pro v1x?  Or should I just take them back and by 1 sleeve of prov1x's and keep the $5 in change.

Indeed.  You may wanna ask Tut, but my guess is that the proV1x is the preferred ball for using the Stack and Tilt Method.

Anyone else here question this Tut's credentials?  How do we know he knows what he says he knows and if it's worth knowing.

After all, they said he does the monkey.

We have a long history of shills showing up and spewing bull*feces* / corrupting our women / eating our young.  I'm just sayin' this guy has to earn our respect first - kinda like TFT did with his most excellent curtains and junk talk.  We don't just put out for the first smooth talker that comes along.  Well, with the obvious exception of anyone who shows up and utters 'open bar, drinks are on me' as the first order of business.

Safety first.  I'm sticking to two-piece balls until Tut offers us his soul and not just his words.

He has to know something about golf: "Born in Babylonia, moved to Arizona."

Thought it was vice-versa? Maybe it's just the voices in my head playing tricks. Either way, Arizona lends credence to a golf background.

And so it was.  Learn something new every day.  In this case, something about looking up lyrics that I only half-listened too a couple decades ago.

The point remains: he spent some time in Arizona, and they know a thing or two about golf there.  (And if you look closely in artists' renditions of the Hanging Gardens, you can see the practice putting green about two levels down from the top.)

They were 19.99 (so I exagerated a little) but I got the last dozen at the Target by my house.  I'll keep an eye out at the other Target.  My wife goes to Target like it's going out of style.

I think every 20 something **** or otherwise shops there at least 3 times a week, so it is totally in style.

it's funny, the targets here only sell  prov1  and then the range of mediocre 2 piece  $15 dozen msrp.  nothing ever in between, and certainly never the prov1 on clearance.
