Can the right golf ball actually save your scorecard?In this episode of The Mid-Range Swing, I’m taking my quest to break 92 to the course with a specific focus: finding the perfect ball for my swing speed. As a golfer pushing 60 with a herniated disk and limited flexibility, I know I’m not hitting it like the pros—and that’s okay.I headed out for 9 holes to put four popular "slow swing speed" balls to the test:🚩Titleist * Srixon * Callaway * Bridgestone e6Watch (and listen) as I track how these balls perform under real-world conditions. It isn't just about distance; it's about feel, control, and staying in play. By the end of the round, it’s Cut Down Day. Two of these brands didn't make the grade and are officially out of the bag.In this episode:The reality of playing with a bad back and limited mobility.On-course testing and honest feedback on each ball.The "Cut Down" reveal: Why I eliminated two major brands.I’m not a pro, and I’m not a coach—I’m just a guy trying to play better golf without changing my swing.
