I used to be a teaching pro, many years ago. Long enough that my Titleist rep would provide me with Tour Professional 100 balls which I believe were balata covered. I recently began playing again after many years away from the game, with the intent of getting back into teaching. Something I've found is that the feel of today's balls are just not that great. I've not tried new Pro V1 balls yet but a host of others. The sound and feel is just off. What are the best feeling balls everyone is using? Are the new ball designs just always going to be missing that nice soft feel?
