What Titleist says: “If you’re looking for long distance, a penetrating flight and shot stopping control into the green, we’ve got you covered with Titleist® Tour Speed. Like the name says, Tour Speed is very fast, but low scores require more than speed and Tour Speed is designed to help you execute every type of shot. All with the quality and consistency you trust from Titleist.”

3. Srixon Q-Star Tour (10.49%)

What Srixon says: “Q-STAR TOUR has all the features you’d expect from a tour ball, but its low compression is tuned to your moderate swing speed, with the distance you need to get ahead of the competition and the greenside spin to park it by tough pins.”

4. Callaway Supersoft (9.88%)

What Callaway says: “Callaway Supersoft is one of the most popular balls in golf, particularly for its long, straight distance, and most importantly the super soft feel. We’ve advanced the cover, core, and construction technologies to enhance these key benefits, with improved performance from tee-to-green.”

5. Vice Tour (5.09%)

What Vice says: “With the new Vice TOUR, you benefit from the technological improvements, including an updated hardness distribution, a higher coefficient of restitution (COR) and lower driver spin, which result in more distance off the tee.The new 312 dimple design features an increase in the diameter of dimples which reduces air resistance and results in a more stable trajectory of the golf ball and higher ball speed.”

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
