Are Amazon Golf Balls Actually Any Good? Day 33 of 24 Handicap to Scratch Golfer in 1 year!

Did you know Amazon now do their own basics golf balls? But the question is, are they any good? And can your average golfer like myself tell the difference between these and your average balls from bigger brands? I’m currently a 20.8 handicap, and this is day 33 of training and posting every day to go from a 24 handicap to scratch in just one year. Well, they seem to get the distance. I’ve just smashed it into the tree over there and it’s bounced off the tree into the middle of the fairway. So, if they aren’t that good, at least they’ve got luck. And also, my wife says if I can reach 100,000 followers, I can pursue this dream fulltime. So, that means golf all day, every day trying to reach scratch. But here we have shot two, so let’s hope we don’t need the luck of this Amazon ball. First impressions pretty good, by the way. I don’t know if I’m not good enough to tell the difference, but it seems fairly decent. Pulled that massively. That’s gone to left. It’s hit another tree, so hopefully that luck’s coming back. I’ll show you three holes rapidly, and then I’ll give you my verdict of the balls at the end, and you can judge my golf game. And yes, I forgot my glove. Just trying to take a low iron shot here. Five iron under the tree. Exactly what we wanted. Safe shot. 76 yds, 56°. All right, first putt with the Amazon ball. Full par. Long par. Oh my god, that was so close. Bogey 150 yard par three pitching wedge in hand as it is very far downhill. Come on bunker. Ah I’m so scared of hitting it into the other bunker. Double. The worst part of my game right now is bunkers for sure. might have just pulled off some magic. All right, pitching wedge in hand here. We got about 100 to go. I might go too far, but I just don’t want to go in those bunkers. I’d rather go on the hills at the back. Money. Oh, look at that. Absolutely beautiful green and rag. A par. So, three over after three holes. So, for me, these Amazon balls, they seem pretty decent. They feel like I’m getting good distance. They feel good around the greens. Maybe a tiny bit slower out the face of the putter. And with that, we end 33 on a 20.8

  1. Love the three hole video, been a while since I’ve seen you play a hole. Keep up the progress

  2. I hit my lob wedge about 100 yards. If I get after one, 110-115 with a pure strike. I used an Amazon ball yesterday on a 109 yard par 3, and high one exactly pin high, with a pure strike and a strong swing. The distance is (scarily) exactly the same as what I expect from the high end balls I typically use (chrome tour, prov1, tp5, etc)

  3. With hitting out of the bunker you must have a full swing and hit 5 inches behind the ball and the ball will fly high and bounce soft and safely on the green

  4. Trust your shots in the bunker, just make sure to hit like two inches behind it with a slightly open face

  5. Time for a lesson…only way forward…good enough for pros, they are good enough for everyday Joe…no getting past 10 handicap without lessons to correct the problem actions your body is putting into swing…nip them in the but now

  6. There is not a ball out there that will lower a handicap, nor a club for that matter. Practice and proper instruction, or at least a simple swing that yields a simple desired result along with a strong short game are the top reasons a handicap will drop.
