Testers Wanted – Top Flite Gamer Golf Ball

With the 2020 Top Flite Gamer on shelves at DICK’S Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy, I suppose we could say a classic fan favorite is back.

The thing is, though, that many of you may not have noticed it was gone.

The original Top Flite Gamer developed a cult following.

However, three years ago, DICK’S scrapped the Surlyn side of the Gamer’s family tree and decided to focus on the three-piece, urethane-covered Gamer Tour.

While you may have lamented the loss of the original, at $25 a dozen, the Gamer Tour was a solid bargain in the “kinda like a Pro V1” category that golfers on a budget find so attractive.

Now, we’d like to get some feedback from MyGolfSpy readers.

We’re looking for four MyGolfSpy readers to test, review and keep one dozen Top Flight Gamer golf balls.

Head to the Top Flite Gamer testing thread in the forum to APPLY

This testing opportunity is open to golfers who live in the USA.

In Northern California, we still have a golf season in the winter, albeit, wet. I currently use the last of my Taylor Made Project (a). Have yet to try the Tour Response. But will be looking to replace. 72 yrs old, 5.5 HI.

I’ve been doing my own testing this past month and I’m curious to see what your results are like. So far for me the ball has been a strong performer but I have concerns about the cover holding up. A few rounds in the cover seems to scuff a lot easier than I’d anticipate.

Duffer

I’ve noticed that these scuff easily, also. I have 3, so far, that are all the worse for wear. This is after a handful of 9 hole rounds.

If I can apply in Europe, I would love to be part of the testing team. Currently using Chrome Soft, so the ball fits perfectly as a replacement.

I have bough a two dozen ( $35 ) of these balls. they seem to work better in cold weather then Pro V not so much in warm humid weather But they are the best Bang for the buck ..The best part is if you hit one way right just drop another ball because they are so cheap why look.

I played a ball by Spalding years ago called top flight. I now play Titlist Tour soft. I would love to be a tester for the Top flight.

I remember this ball when green fees were $3.00 for 18 holes! So, if this would help out an older duffer, I’d be happy to try it out.

Liked the original Gamer, but the Surlyn cover cut/marked too easily. Would love to try the new ones, as a retired military guy i am always looking for quality that doesn’t break the bank!

I play several brands of golf balls during different times of the year and during different conditions. I would be interested to see how these compare to Snell’s, Vice, titleist, taylomade, calloway, bridgestone and the like.

I started out playing Top Flite and their many different balls. I liked the 3000 best, but moved to better balls to get a softer more solid feel off the Irons. I would appreciate any opportunity to test for you. Thank you

5 handicap and a golf ball snob, but always looking for the next ball
I like the Oncore Vero X1 for r example.
The other off brand balls seem to miss the mark.
Dicks does well with Maxfli.
At one point, Top Flite was the largest selling ball.
Let’s go.

James Lukachinsky

I usually play the Bridgestone Tour Bx and I saw these balls on a shelf at Dicks and noticed how these sort of copy the dimple pattern of that ball and I would love to see how these perform as a budget option for leafy and wet northeast winters and springs.

from Strongsville , OH. I normally play Callaway Chrome Soft Truvis. The only time I see a Top Flite golf ball is in the penalty ares at my local courses.

I would love to test those balls, so I could tell my older Brother that top flight makes a good ball after he had me throw away all top flights as a kid because “they were crap balls”

I live in Palm Springs CA.
I’m currently a 10 handicap and I golf 2 to 3 times a week.
I’ve been testing a few golf balls recently, from budget balls such as Srixon Soft Feel. Callaway Super Soft. Mid range, Srixon Q Star Tour. Taylormade Tour Response to high end of the likes of Bridgestone Tour B RXS which is the ball I currently use along with Taylormade Tour Response. I would love to be able to test these and give u my honest and personal opinion and feedback. Thank you!

Played Top-Flight golf ball back in the 70’2… I’m querious to see if they really play like a descent ball and not rocklike as I remember… Don’t believe I actually played an entire round with the 70’s ball….

Have played TF Gamer, prev version, many times. Did like them but cover scuffed easily. Played similar to Costco Signiture 3piece. Would love to test the new version Gamer.

I’ve been playing the top end “Cut” ball for a couple of months and at $29 per dozen it sure beats paying $45+ for the supposed top-end ball. I’d be will to save another $4 if it measures up. Previously, a Top Flite is like hitting a rock in the winters here in Pennsylvania.

I’d be interested in being a tester of this ball. I’m in process of trying to find the right ball for me. I’ve never consistently played any ball and until this season did not even realize how differently balls can perform or how to go about choosing one that beat suits my game. I lose a fair amount of balls so I’d be interested in finding a ball that works well but is below the top-tier $45/dozen balls. I think I need a ball with less spin off the driver- I would give up spin around the green if I could find more fairways or have drives that just end up in the woods to be just in the rough. My miss is a push fade with the driver, I’m pretty straight with my irons, even baby draw sometimes..

Mike

I don’t want these balls. I think they’re junk. I wouldn’t play them on any circumstances.

Okay, I’m actually hoping that you fall for my reverse negative psychology and send me them to try!

I’ve used previous gamers and thought they were a decent ball. Definitely interested in giving the new ones a shot. If they are less than $30 and can compete with premium it would be welcomed in my bag.

Bill Carlos

Talk is cheap. I would love to find a ball that is more affordable and can match its hype.. I work at a golf course and would love to lower my handicap just because of the ball that I use.
