exploding balls
 

well not exactly "exploding"...

I ordered a mixed bunch of cheap practice balls from ebay and wanted to try a couple different balls on the course. It was about 40 degrees this morning, so I got out to play 9 holes. During the round 2 dunlop loco balls broke in half on my drive!, and I wasn't hitting either particularly hard. There was nothing visually wrong with either ball; in fact they looked new. Anybody else experience this w/ dunlop locos or any other balls? I thought maybe it was the temperature, but 40 degrees isn't all that cold. very weird!

Maybe its because you "compressed" it too much...:D

ya...I WISH that was the problem!

I thought everyone new that LoCo stood for Low Cohesion!

I found one at a golf coarse while playing in a scramble a few months ago. I figured I would hit it off the tee and then switch balls for the approach. It split after about 7 holes. Of coarse I told everyone it was because I was hitting it so hard and far. I guess you just deflated my ego.

Never buy used balls. They have bad habits about getting lost. :p

new balls
 

I always thought a New PRO V 1 had the greatest affinity towards water and the woods.

I thought that the Callaway HX Tour and the HX 56 had the same problem as well. We both must of bought some defective golf balls then :D

You guys are both close...The more expensive a ball is, the more likely it will be that it gets lost.

Either that or the expensive balls are the only ones you remember losing :)
