when my golf balls smile back at me, that's when trust is earned...
Yeah, that's a durable meme around here going back years. Titleist is generally the most expensive ball and then the other majors price themselves the same or just a tiny bit less than Titleist. Right now Titleist is at $55, Callaway and Taylormade the same $55, while Bridgestone and Srixon are "bargains????" at $50. Even Wilson is at $50 now.I meant price.
"Crude checks" ?Over the long history of golf, there have definitely been periods when Titleist did better than "the rest" on quality and consistency. I think at the current time that may not be the case.
After a lot of bad publicity, Callaway in particular had to tighten up their Q/C. The kind of crude checks that MGS, for instance, does certainly don't guarantee consistent performance. But some of the stuff Callaway was shipping out several years ago was so awful there's no way it could possibly be consistent.
Remember that over half a century ago Titleist achieved its premium reputation by doing 100% manual inspection via X-Rays of their wound balls when nobody else in the industry could be arsed to even worry about it. Of course X-Rays or not, the balls people were happy to play in the mid-20th were absolute crap from a Q/C an consistency perspective. A sleeve of the cheapest urethane balls out of the lowliest factory in Asia nobody has ever heard of is going to be orders of magnitude more consistent than any Balata balls could have been back in the day.
Careful, you'll get some serious hate for posting MGS stuff here.Most top brands are incredibly consistent. Titleist is best at QC year after year in MYGOLFSPY ball tests.

Wasn't true a few years ago when Callaway was producing this....
