00:02:30 - Stick with one golf ball brand to understand its performance and improve your game, rather than constantly switching or choosing the most popular option.

🏌️‍♂️ Premium golf balls like Titleist Pro V1 and Callaway Chrome Tour X offer high short game spin and are favored by tour players.

🎯 Consistency in using the same golf ball is key to improving your performance and achieving lower scores.

💸 Mid-range and budget golf balls from both brands provide good distance and feel, with color options for customization.

00:00:00 - Have you ever wondered what the right golf ball for you is? I've got some answers to that question. We're going to compare some different golf balls across the different lines and we'll talk about the features and benefits of both of them. So, let's dive in.

00:00:20 - Okay, so I've got a Titus golf ball and a Callaway golf ball. We're going to go through the lines and just sort of talk about the differences between them. So, first and foremost, we'll start with the Prov1. This is kind of your premium performance golf ball from Titleist. It's going to offer your low long game spin. It's going to have really high short game spin. So, this is really like your high-end golf ball that you're going to see a lot of guys on tour playing. So, if that's what you're

00:00:42 - looking for, this would be a great option. In the Callaway version, I've got the Chrome Tour X. So, very, very similar golf balls here. The biggest difference with this one is the spin for the longer shots. This one's going to have a little bit more of that mid-range spin. Still going to maximize a lot of that short game spin around the green. Callaway's premium performance offering here. They have a couple different options in the Chrome Tour line. So, those would be the two top ends for both

00:01:03 - of these manufacturers. Now, let's move to sort of the middle option. Okay, so now sort of middle of the road. I've got the Titalist velocity and the Callaway ERC soft. So, we'll start with the Titalist. This is Titalist uh real golf ball for like distance. So, really going to be driven towards trying to hit that ball super super far. Sort of that middle of the road option. still has a great cover, still has good performance, but it's really sort of that golf ball

00:01:24 - that if you're trying to hit the ball as far as you can, this is the one you'd want to go with for the ERC soft in the Callaway version. Very, very similar. So, long golf ball off the tea. Still going to maximize some feel and some spin around the greens, but it's really just going to sort of be that middle of the road option for those golfers who maybe don't want to shell out their life savings for the premium offering in either of these brands. So, Titus

00:01:44 - Velocity, ERC soft, sort of right in the middle of the road. Both of these have different color options that are available, which is cool, too, if you're somebody who likes to play a golf ball other than white. Lastly, I have the Titleless True Feel and the Callaway Super Soft. So, these are going to be those golf balls that are really just designed for somebody looking to play something in one of these two brands. These are the softest options that they have. Um, so you're going to see a lot

00:02:06 - of just really good feel with both of these. Um, again, very, very inexpensive as far as like the offerings that are available. still come in some different colors. So, if you want to customize there, you can. But these are sort of the low-end golf balls for both of these companies that if you're just looking for something consistent to play, these would be a good option. I think the biggest thing to take away from it uh from all of this is this. When you're playing golf, you want to play a golf

00:02:28 - ball that is consistent. Find something that you play every single time. Don't just continually switch brands. That's going to affect your performance on the course cuz you're not going to know which one is going to spin more or spin less. So find a golf ball, stick with it, play it for a while, see if you like it, and then switch it up. Don't play the most popular golf ball that's out there, which is anything I find. That would be a bad option to go with. So,

00:02:49 - uh, just a couple ways to look at it from the Titus and Cowboy perspective. Different manufacturers obviously have different lines as well. So, do your research, figure out what you like, and then just play the same golf ball all the time. That's going to give you the best chance to shoot your lowest scores.
