of a loyal Pro V1'er Wow! What a pleasant surprise. I finished a round today having played, exclusively, the Top-Flite Gamer Tour golf ball. I've tinkered a bit in the past with many of the Gamer Tour's predecessors.Stay with me here....the original 2008 Gamer eventually became known as the Gamer V2 (2010 - 2012). I've heard that at some point the actual Gamer and V2 were rolled into Callaway's newly launched Strata line of golf balls. The Gamer V2 was discontinued in 2012 and renamed in 2013, ironically, right where it began; as the Gamer. Currently, Top-Flite offers three models; the Gamer, Gamer Soft and the Gamer Tour. Phew!  Top-Flite Gamer Tour Advanced Golf Ball Being a loyal Titleist Pro V1'er for many years now, I was amazed by the balls performance throughout all facets of the game. The only drawback I noticed was reduced distance off the tee. However, this was minimal with approximately 3-5 yards short on average. I play at high altitude and drives coming up 10 to 15 feet short did not force me to change my game at all. The shortage in distance off the tee, compared to the Pro V1, was offset by improved accuracy. I hit more fairways today than any round played this season. After two holes I adjusted to shorter tee shots and not only hit my fairways regularly but did so with precision. The control afforded by The Gamer Tour was simply incredible. My shots were crisp, clean and sound at impact was "just right"...swooosh! Priced at $25 per case (12 golf balls) you can even afford to lose a few. Would I ever really abandon my Titleist Pro V1's? No way, but The Gamer is a solid option for those looking for similar play from a lower cost golf ball. Top-Flite also has the D2 series golf balls which I find to be an excellent winter golf ball along with the Top-Flite XL series for added distance.  Top-Flite Gamer Golf Ball |
