839: There have been 70 new golf balls released by the major manufacturers already in 2022 and too many of us are still playing balls we find in the woods. But you may not realize that if you are looking for consistency, you’ll never find it playing different balls each round…or even a variety of balls throughout the round. Our guest is Director of Merchandising for GolfBalls.com, Johnny Cox who plays different golf balls all the time so that he can make educated recommendations to his customers. In this conversation, we cover the new releases from Titleist, Bridgestone, Callaway, Wilson, TaylorMade, and Volvik. We even talk about how Vice has found their niche with young golfers, and the impact of Costco’s Kirkland balls.
