Question:

Not my box.  It says: "On woods and long irons, the low angle of the club penetrates through the cover at impact to the firm mantle layer, reducing spin and generating superior distance. On short irons and wedges, the higher loft angle of the club "pinches" the soft Spintack(tm) cover at impact, creating spin for greenside control."

But how do it know?

You have to tell the ball at address. Dave Clary/Corpus Christi, Tx Home: http://home.stx.rr.com/dclary RSG Roll Call http://www.rec-sport-golf.com/members/?rollcall=claryd

For the average purchaser of golf balls, do you find the instructions on the box descriptive enough to satisfy your yearning as to what the hell

Man, you have finally shown me th4e light, the answer to my problems with this game. The labels on the boxesof balls  aren’t complete! If only it was labeled "hit close to, or in, the hole." My boxes seem to have an implied label about the contents being "water seeking" or "bunker seeking". Which gives rise to this thought. I wonder if a water diviner (is that the right spelling for the word that describes the guys who go around with a Y of willow looking for water?) would do better if he stuck one of my golf balls on the end of his probe?

Response:

A better question is why groups of 3?  My guess it is because [a] packaging one ball would be too expensive [b] four or more balls is too many for a reasonably accomplished golfer who doesn’t lose very many and [c] four or more balls is too expensive for a golfer on a budget. IIRC, Titleists sometimes come in sleeves of 2.                                 –Blair                                   "Makes your dollar go farther."

Not just Titleists, but many of them come this way in a Pro Shop.  Works fine for the guys who only need that one spare ball for their round KT

The Top Flites don’t say how it happens, it just says what the result is.  "More Carry" and "More Roll". Not my box.  It says: "On woods and long irons, the low angle of the club penetrates through the cover at impact to the firm mantle layer, reducing spin and generating superior distance. On short irons and wedges, the higher loft angle of the club "pinches" the soft Spintack(tm) cover at impact, creating spin for greenside control."

So. Does that tell you that it’s a "more carry" or a "more roll" ball?                                 –Blair                                   "Spintack, schmintack."

Response:

If I average one (1) lost ball every one and a half (1.5) holes; twelve (12) balls will last for a round of eighteen (18) holes. Yep, works for me.       Lee O.
