You guys should do a new video. The Q Star is now 40 bucks. Get us a new hidden gem. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Did he say 115 with 7i?..
Nice video. I’ll be a Maxfli Tour S till I die
Damnit. What am I gonna do with the 120 Kirklands I just bought now?
I’m calling BS on this. You play Srixon. You know the sound. There you go. Follow the data only
Love the irony in the comments
“When in the woods looking for my ball….i find a pro v, suckers”
😂 not knowing who put it in the woods (another hacker that found that ball) & if the ball is a used ball water ball new ball
I’m sure in their mind it was only hit once, out of box
I buy what I want when I want
New used….my money
I’ve been all over the ball industry
Srixon Honma Titleist in my bag
The only balls I never liked was Nike & top flite
Testing Callaway HEX vs SuperSoft ?
lol it’s the balls fault
I came across cheap ol max fli straightfli. What do y'all think of this cheapo? It played great on the course for me. Just looking for the expert's advice.
very good video, guys
I would like to see how Snell stacks up
Definitely trying Srixon Q star
I got several ones in 1 with Vice ! Can’t complain- believe and play on
Another evaluation that is worthless to me. If your driver swing speed is 115, 110 or 105 then all the balls will react then my swing speed. Without good information, who knows. None of the viewers do…
Now redo the test with the new Kirkland or remove this video.
The Q Star is not the Srixon that should be in this category. It should be the Srixon Soft Feel. The Q Star is closer to $40 a dozen.
This video is awesome.. I’m off to buy a dozen Srixon AD333 (which I believe is the same ball but in the UK) 💪🏻
I've been hitting a lot in our simulator room. I have a 95 mph driver swing speed and have a 6 handicap. I've been playing ProV1x for several years. This summer I switched to the Q Star Tour after extensive testing in the simulator, because the spin, descent angle, and apogee were almost indistinguishable between the two balls using the shorter clubs, but the driver carry for the Q Star Tour was almost 10 yards longer. Plus the Q Star feels a lot softer. Recently I bought a dozen Q Stars for $29 plus tax. The price/performance can't be beaten.
Kirkland also has a urethane cover though?!
My favorite affordable ball is the TaylorMade speed soft. Having played both the speed soft and super soft the speed soft outperforms the Supersoft by a mile.
Q Star tour, or the Vice Pro are my go to’s…. And for around $35 a dozen. Cannot go wrong
My best round in the past two years was played with a Srixon ball and I didn't attribute it much to the ball. I thought I was just swinging real well but on second thought it may have actually been the ball.
I could be wrong but, I think yall had the wrong Kirkland! The Kirkland y’all had was the silver striped, which according to review I read it said “toss em”. You need to test the box with the red stripe, V3.5.
Maxfli where?
Watched one swing and could tell it doesn’t matter what ball you play lol
Fudruckers greenville sc
I can live with Callaway super soft being 3rd. Once I burn through my box I’ll try out #1
We need a new video
Kirkland 3.5's would've been 3
IF YOU NEED TO TEST THE BEST GOLF BALL, YOU NEED TO USE A MACHINE TO BE ACCURATE WHAT THE GOLF BALL SHALL DO !!!
I play the Srixon AD333 in England which i believe is same ball as Q star. It performs great and is very good price. Thanks for test which confirms my own view. Thanks Paul WHI 10.4
If you can’t even strike the ball properly you could put a rock on the tee, it’s not going to matter. Maybe do the same video with golfers who actually know what they’re doing
There's a Fudruckers in Anderson, SC and it's awesome!
You get paid by srixon
I play a Z-Star Diamond, so not surprised at the result. Srixon makes some good stuff.
Fudruckers still has locations in Georgia for sure
No…hitting balls in simulation cannot tell the aerodynamics differences of them….no..no..no
Last Fudruckers I can remember seeing was in Brookfield, WI I lived off the Elk burger
are Pokémon and Blastoise golfers?
These blind reviews are awesome!!
Are these the new "improved" Kirkland v3?
There’s a fuddruckers in Myrtle beach sc
One of the big problems with some balls is inconsistency in manufacturing. Next time, could you test a bunch of balls purchased at different places and times?
🫢he is wearing the PXG sweatshirt but didn’t rate the PXG balls?! 😂that’s interesting… fyi PXG balls could rival pro v1x they are really good quality
What about noodle?!
This makes me feel good about hitting Q-star the last few months. Brought my handicap down from 24 to 19.
Sorry but a human swinging and testing balls will never prove anything…. needs to be done by a machine so the consistency is exact. Way too many variables here.
I've never paid for a single prov1 and I have a bag full of them. Thank you to all the rich people out there.
