But, in fact, pros will play with and endorse just about any equipment, if they can make money on the endorsement. I recently saw a television commercial where Tom Watson endorses a golf ball and says, "this is the ball that changed the ball". Really? What a bunch of hogwash!

Again, Tiger has the decided to play the Bridgestone ball this year and as far as I know he has no contract with them.

The most important thing about a ball is that it fits your game. The most important part of the game that the ball can effect is short shots.

If you want to play with a marble don't expect to be able to get it to stop when you hit a good pitch shot.
