    Hey,
    is anyone using these balls regularly?
    I won a dozen a few weeks ago and tried out a sleeve the other day. Pretty impressed tbh. I usually use a prov1 and didnt notice any loss of distance or spin. As I won them Im not sure of price, but Im guessing they are less than PRoV1s.

    I've just run out of my aldi crane balls - 12 euro for 30 :D

    Lost 5 on the front 9 the other night :rolleyes:
    I dream of the day I can use Pro V1s
    That will either be when I win the lotto or start hitting the ball straight :)

    I used them earlier this year, but unfortunately I ran out. I thought they were fine. Bridgestone have brought out an upgrade called the B330-RX which is supposed to be a superior ball.
    On the plus side, it means that you can get the B330-S brand new at a much lower price.

    i find them just as good as a prov with the added advantage that they don't cut up as bad as a pro v1

    +1.

    I used these for the first time of Saturday and was very impressed. Usually if I use the LW or SW with the ProV 1's are destroyed. I found the B330-S far more durable.

    Using the RXS at the moment, well impressed to be honest. Great performance and don't cut up nearly as bad as the new pro-v's.

    I think your all mad buying new balls! Have ya's tried lake balls? I use a shop on eBay that has balls at massive savings! The range from new to pearl, a-grade, b-grade and practice balls! Worth checking out! I get pearl/a-grade and there imaculate condition!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭conno16


    most things on e-bay are fake

    But if nobody bought new balls then there's be no lake balls?!

    Wouldn't touch any lake or refurbished balls with a bargepoll for competitive golf!

    Yep, a great ball.

    And if you're nice to the staff in Halpenny's they give you them for a very friendly price.

    If they think you're a cock, however, they'll probably try and charge you over €40 a dozen or something!!

    That's a laughable thing to say.. And utterly false! Unless your buying an iPhone from a seller in hong kong! ;)

    many things on e-bay are fake and will ultimately lead to bitter disappointment
