Having played balata's for years (and loving them to death), I agree that the ProV1 is a longer ball. So I might modify my argument to say that if I haven't gotten longer, I've at the very least, maintained my distance from years ago.

But the rest of my post still stands; that intellect and attention to mechanics and technique win out over brute force and as such renders the issue of "being fifty", moot.

I agree, and I agree with everything else that you said. It was a good post and even if it's not right (on balance I think you probably are right), it's a great attitude.

I loved the balatas too. They were great. Such good feel and touch around the greens. If you couldn't get those to bite on a chip, then you were beyond help. I remember when the professional came out and it became difficult to find the old balatas that I never really got to grips with the relative lack of spin with the professional.
