I’ve tried a few illegal golf balls, and the ‘Rocket Ballz’ seriously outperformed others in terms of distance. I gained an extra 20 yards on my drives!

That’s impressive! I had a similar experience with the ‘Legalize It’ balls. However, they felt a little harder, which affected my accuracy.

I’ve been using the ‘Hit It Farther’ brand, and honestly, I’ve noticed a solid gain in both distance and accuracy. Definitely worth testing out!

Great suggestion! I’m curious, how does the feel compare to regular balls? Is there a noticeable difference?

The feel varies widely. The ‘Thunder Bombs’ are softer, providing good feedback on contact, but they don’t seem to travel as far for me.

I had planned to try ‘Thunder Bombs’ after hearing positive remarks, but seeing they’re not as effective for distance is a letdown.

Exactly! It’s such a gamble with these illegal options; some perform well for distance but offer less control.

To be honest, I’ve heard mixed reviews on many of these balls. It’s like a treasure hunt trying to find one that checks all boxes!

10

Totally agree! I’m tempted to try them all just to see firsthand. Any tips on one that’s also budget-friendly?

I found the ‘Skyrocket’ balls to be quite affordable and effective. They’re not the top performer but certainly worth the price!

Sounds like a good option! Has anyone done side-by-side comparisons for direct distance?

I’ve done a side-by-side with ‘Rocket Ballz’ and ‘Skyrocket’. The ‘Rocket’ definitely edged out with about 5 yards more on average.

Do illegal balls still perform well in windy conditions? I’ve been hesitant to use them during club tournaments due to weather variables.

Funny you mention that! I tried playing in the wind with an illegal ball and swore it had a mind of its own. Definitely not a safe choice in that weather!

I’ve been researching illegal golf balls for distance. It’s interesting how they can really add yards to your game, but what are the legal implications? I’m curious if anyone has faced penalties.

17

It’s a real risk using those balls in tournaments! You could get disqualified and face hefty fines. Worth it? Not for that price.

18

I’ve tried a few illegal ones, and they definitely help with distance! However, I’ve always wondered about the ethics behind using them. Is it fair to others who play by the rules?

19

That’s a tough question. Golf has such a strong tradition of integrity. But hey, if everyone is doing it, is it really unfair?

I think if you choose to use illegal balls, you have to be discreet about it. Always check the local rules first! Some places are way more strict than others.
