This ball is best for high, lofted shots and gives you maximum backspin/roll. Sometimes I think this ball gives me too much roll, and I’d rather have the extra distance while keeping the normal roll of other balls. *Available to purchase on GT LIVE 2010-2013.

This ball gives you maximum distance and is best for low-lofted shots that can cut through the wind. The ball curves well to get maximum distance off your A1 and C3 shots.  However, you don’t get much backspin/roll at all with this ball, so it makes it difficult to get approach shots closer to the […]

With maxed-out aerodynamics and a faster core, the Maniax generate great distance with a touch lower spin for curve shots. These balls are also a very solid option for your all-around game. *Available for purchase on GT LIVE 2009-2013.

The Player features a resilient rubber core for better distance. The soft ionomer cover creates all the spin and control needed for curve shots. These balls are great for amateurs still getting a feel for the game as they provide a great combination of distance and spin that’s easy to control. *Available for purchase on […]

A firmer cover provides increased distance on straight shots off the tee. These balls can be exciting, because the extra distance off the tee with a B2 shot can be huge! BUT, it also becomes difficult to gauge accurate distance off the tee, because of the boost. Practice some big B2 shots off the tee […]

The low compression core creates better distance with slower swing speeds. This means you get more distance out of a “slower” shot, and the ball just settles on the green instead of having a moderate amount of spin. So, this could be good for people who can’t pound long shots, but they don’t seem to […]

This ball adds distance but maintains normal amount of spin for your hooking shots and backspin/roll.  It’s a great “control” ball that gives you a little extra distance to boot. *Available for purchase in GT LIVE 2008-2013.

DISTANCE — Players seem to have more “feel” with these balls, allowing them more distance control on thumb shots (especially when taking off distance).  Compared with the Orbits, the Trackers travel up to 30 yards farther on full-full shots (A1 or C3) and 10-20 yards farther on hammer shots (B2).  Thumb shots are almost identical, […]

These balls provide the curve shots of the standard stock ball but with greater distance. *Available to purchase in GT LIVE 2012 and 2013.

With cutting edge aerodynamics, this ball generates more distance with a bit more spin for curve shots. *Available to purchase in GT LIVE 2012 and 2013.

Lots of tee boxes here, from the side to the back, will give you many challenging looks.  Here’s a 9-iron from the side that caught a nice bounce into the hole.  This one was well-played to a left-center pin. This one was well-played from behind the hole, and so was this one.  And this shot found […]

Here’s a nice 5-wood ace around the left side from the back-right box.  Here’s another one over the top of the right side.  And check out the unbelievable deflection this one gets off the rock face! This 5-wood dunked in the hole from the next box to the left. Here’s a 3-wood one-hopper from the […]

Most of the time it’s just fine hitting straight out to the fairway — you may need just a small cut into the green.  Here’s a great 3-wood curved around and in. The only time it may be rough is if the wind is blowing away from the green towards the water.  In this case, […]

If you’ve got a big wind blowing towards the green, you can high tee this one and try to drive it!  This shot came pretty close to the green and gave a nice eagle chip. Otherwise you’ll want to get out to the left edge of the fairway (while staying dry, of course).  This drive […]

You can reach the green either from the narrow strip to the left or by blasting a long drive down the fairway.  If you can confidently hit towards the second half of the narrow strip given a good tee box, you’ll be rewarded with an easier approach shot — here’s a great 5-wood hole-out from […]

Here is an example ace from the middle-right box. Here’s a short little dunk from the front box. VIDEO DEMO

If you play out left, you need to lay back a ways from the sand mound, otherwise you may not have enough loft to clear it towards the green.  At the same time, you can’t be so far back that a driver won’t even get there in two.  This driver had just enough to clear […]

Nothing wrong with laying up straight ahead, just leave yourself a bit of clearance from the sand mound on the approach.  Here’s an example hole-out. If you get a good setup and really crave a big drive (or if you get the much closer tee box), you can reach the second part of the fairway […]
