  4. I have this toilet as well. I have not tried flushing my golf balls, but I
    will say this. This toilet started off great, but will clog with very
    little paper in it if combined with fecal matter. The toilet has also
    developed a weak flush. It will flush normal twice, then has three weak
    flushes where it can’t even clear urine. I wish I had never taken my old
    1951 toilet out. My American Standard score vs experience is 0/2

  6. I DON’T NEED SOMETHING TO FLUSH GOLF BALLS I NEED SOMETHING TO FLUSH MY
    MASSIVE POOOOOOOP

  9. There is nothing retarded about flushing away a kilo of miso. It’s fun to
    mock the toilet videos but one day you’re going to encounter a toilet that
    is so bad you will remember this video and cry a little.

  15. Another great vid Mark.Certainly goes against my expectation a softer ball
    would cause more wayward drivers when miss-hit. How about doing some
    testing on ‘Mud Balls’. We hear on TV how much the pro’s worry when they
    get a little bit of mud on the ball. Can you do a vid and show how it
    changes the flight based on where the mud is on the ball ?

  16. You should test these balls with the wilson staff duo! They say those balls
    go and go. Thanks

  17. I use the Tm lethal. Used the penta for 2 seasons also. Purely down to feel
    and personal preference. As tm ball didnt cut upmas much .I found the Tm
    ball went slightly further than pro v. But again could be due to other
    factors. Ape very top of the range ball will be pretty much the same so in
    the end comes down to personal preference.

  18. You have done a couple videos on golf balls and what they are actually
    doing, but you always stay in the more moderate to high price point. For a
    beginning golfer who assaults a lot of trees and fish is playing something
    like a Top Flight XL, Slazenger RAW, or Pinnacle (ie sub $20/15 count) ball
    okay to do, or is that going to hurt us in the long run? Is there a certain
    point at which we need to move to the DT Solo, Callaway Hex, Bridgestone e6
    ($20+/12 count) ball?

  19. I always wondered about what are the differences of the types of golf
    balls. Buy golf balls that fit your play. The only thing is the price of
    those damn balls. Thanks for the info Mark, great vid’s.

  21. Thanks for responding to our requests to go further with your test, Mark. I
    swear the e6 goes straighter than Pro V1 on errant iron shots. Plus my 7
    iron SS is around 70 and hitting the ProV1 off the toe vs e6 feels like a
    rock…ouch. Once again, excellent and

  23. well thats a shame I was hoping a low spin ball would slice off the tee a
    little less. Being a beginner I need a ball that works well with low swing
    speeds and cheap to purchase since I will be losing alot arounmd my local
    course, 1 meter into the rough and its into thick scrub and shrubs never to
    be seen again! I want to use the driver but tend to use the 4 iron and
    hybrid instead so Im not really developing for that reason

  24. I am new to golf and so have been playing with the cheapest, brightest
    yellow balls I can buy so that I loose less. I’m thinking it saves at least
    4 shots a round.

  25. A PGA instructor who has a launch angle varying over 3 degrees over 6
    swings? And spin varying over 1000rpm? Stop teaching start playing. The
    numbers are laughable. 

  26. I have tried out balls from the Nike 20XI to the Bridgstone Fix. I found
    exactly what Mark is saying. There are days where I hit a bad pull hook
    and it does not matter what ball I am playing. There are days where I push
    fade my shorter irons really bad no matter what ball. I notice the
    difference in the feel, and on the green. For the money, I go with the E5,
    but like the Hex Chrome maybe a little better.

  27. Mark.

    Shedloads of directions for this debate. I’ve been using Noodles for years
    and Srixon Distance as a fallback. Both are very useable and very
    affordable balls IMHO and should I loose the odd one I am not so bothered
    vs. top-end stuff. Quite soft and have no reason to change.

    See a lot of starters using any old ball from a car boot sale or £5 a box
    of Donnays or Dunlops (from Sports Direct as typically are my Srixons and
    Noodles to be honest).

    Stage 3 comparison therefore might be to look at whether these entry level
    cheap ones are rubbish, assuming it matters if they are going to get lost
    after 5 minutes by a hacker.

    In truth in the distance past I have hit some finders and cheaper
    brands and got them out there ok. Also remember Wilson Ultras but by
    comparison with my Noodles these felt like I was hitting a rock so there is
    such a thing as feel.

  28. An easier test would be to try to just draw and fade each ball. Same
    principle. Will the dt solo be more difficult to work? If so it will also
    slice or hook less with spin.

  30. Theres no point in buying a ball because its good around the green if you
    lose your ball before you get there.

  32. Anyone on a budget should have a look at the Nike PD Soft…I think it is
    exceptional for the money, great off the putter too

  33. Mark I haven’t bought a ball in four years, I play balls I find on my
    course. what I find it’s always the Indian not the arrow. 

  34. Played 9 Tuesday, only hit 1 fairway with the prov1. Kept slicing it. lost
    two balls and decided to try the NXT. lucky hit, but nailed it on the 9th
    long with a gentle fade splitting the fairway. Felt good around the green
    too. will be trying the NXT on my next trip out.

  35. It’s almost a shame to collect so much of those newly purchased slice
    ‘savers’ from the woods which suppose to prevent that happening. But hey if
    they still can keep the customer.. Golfers can be astonishingly gullible

  36. Hi Mark, interesting test but I’m really confused by your analysis –
    dispersion is much lower with the DT Solo, even with one shot massively
    skewing the numbers, the ProV1 had one similar but with less of everything
    as far as I’m reading it (sidespin, spin axis etc) and went 27 yards
    right? If I’m reading the numbers wrong then fair enough! :)

  37. I tried this on course, Pro v1, Pro v1x, B330 rx, warbird, Nike distance
    and a DDH.
    Distance was not worth talking about.
    Mark you are Bang on, it is about the second or third plus how it feels off
    the putter.
    A lot does come down to what you can afford to loose/gain, money and skill
    Money, if you loose 2-3 balls a round then Pro V’s might run out as an
    expensive round of golf.
    Skill, when you practice with a “Premium” ball the difference in how it
    reacts is very noticeable. Practice with them and you will not want to
    change back. But the premium balls do “feel/sound” different to each other.
    No one size fits all.
