You embrace low compression balls without needing to state that you think you putt better with them.

You can only hit the ball 125 yds and still carry 14 clubs (like I saw yesterday).

I like how they feel coming off the putter face....
I can also use them & they're very good when I play with persimmon...
It's been a cool wet spring, so you need a ball that compresses more easily...

I actually found one a few years ago. Hit it for fun. When I was a kid it was my favorite ball. They were cheap.

I used to lay up on the 11th hole at Royal Adelaide (the crater hole) with a 3-wood, now I play a 3-wood for my second to the green.
The older I get, the further from the green I putt.

It must be kept in mind that the elusive charm of the game suffers as soon as any successful method of standardization is allowed to creep in.  A golf course should never pretend to be, nor is intended to be, an infallible tribunal.

I dropped my 3iron for  a 7wood when I was 50.


I consider a 200y+ drive a miracle 20+ years later.
