| 0:00.0 | Right. We are talking how to choose the correct golf ball for your game tonight. Let's kick it off. Lou and Greg in-house. Number one, for me, for people, would be price. You've got to be sensible on price. And that is built around how many you might be losing. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're talking to a guy here who hasn't, Greg Chalmers. When's the last time you paid for golf balls? You didn't care about price. I was just about to say, and it sounds terrible, I'm like, you mean people pay for these things? We pay for them, so you get them for free. Exactly. Thanks for doing that. Appreciate it. every time I play with my dad and he starts looking for golf sports, I'm like, dude, I'll just give you some. It's fine. Let's go. Yeah. Tell me about it. Yes, I do understand it. It's the price matters. Yeah, definitely. I mean, if you're talking like from the bottom, you could be around $10, 10 pounds for a dozen, up to the top end you're probably near. |
| 0:56.5 | What's a dozen of the, like, you know, ProVs or Strickson's or tailormaids or Calloways? |
| 1:03.2 | They're slightly varied, but they're up near $50, I'm guessing. |
| 1:06.0 | Yeah, 50 or higher. |
| 1:07.4 | $60 for a dozen more. |
| 1:09.2 | No idea. |
| 1:10.2 | Yeah. |
| 1:11.1 | So price has to be worked in. |
| 1:14.8 | So when it comes to the price, me personally, unless you're losing loads of balls, |
| 1:19.6 | just steer clear at the bottom end. |
| 1:21.3 | I would always advise people to be around 25 pounds, $25 and up. |
| 1:27.4 | You can lose a dozen at 25 pounds or dollars, you know, if you're going through a few balls, |
| 1:33.3 | but you are still going to get a half decent performance. |
| 1:36.1 | When you start going lower than that, the performance is really noticeable for any group |
| 1:41.8 | of player. |
| 1:42.2 | And I know there's golfers listening and say, I'm not consistent enough to notice. |
| 1:46.2 | I agree why you might think that. |
| 1:48.7 | But I always think if you're not consistent, |
| 1:50.9 | why are you going to use a ball that's equally inconsistent? |
| 1:53.4 | You're just adding more inconsistency to the whole inconsistent package. |
| 1:58.1 | Why would you not try and knock some of the inconsistency off? |
| 2:02.4 | Around 24 or 25 pound upwards, that mid-range ball I would advise personally. |
