![]() All my drives were consistently as long or longer than my playing partners. I found no loss of distance at all with the Cut Greys compared to any other ball I’ve used. Today, I played with 3 other seniors who all hit their drives about the same distance as I do, maybe a little less. When comparing balls, I look for distance, spin, feel around the green, durability and price. Got my Cut Grey balls in the mail yesterday, hit the links today. I'm really curious to see how it feels off the driver and irons, and if the course isn't too busy, I'll try for some more side-by-side comparisons. ![]() I might be playing 18 tomorrow, so hopefully I can give the Cut Grey a full workout. Performance in this brief comparison, I have to give the nod to the QST, but this is really a personal preference thing based on sound and feel, someone else might feel the opposite. Performance was very similar, as far as I could tell under the conditions. To be clear, the Cut Grey doesn't feel or sound bad, but when side-by-side with the QST they are clearly different. This is where I started to see a bit of difference between the two, The Cut Grey had a firmer feel, and the sound was a bit clicky, where the QST has a nicer sound and that feel that is soft but not mushy that I prefer. I hit putts with my Mizuno M-Craft VI, a milled face putter, anywhere from three feet to about twenty five feet. Next was over to the practice green, and this was also brief because the green had just been punched. Performance in this brief comparison, I have to call it a tie. Next I hit some with my 60* from light rough, carrying them about fifteen yards, and again performance was very similar between the two. Next some higher shots, flying them about ten yards, both still feel the same, and both stop pretty quick, within a foot or two of where they landed. On low bump and run type shots both balls feel very similar, and both check just a bit before rolling out as expected. I started with some short chips from fairway cut, and my 55* wedge. Now for a quick trip to the practice area, Cut Grey vs QST. The Cut Grey side-by-side with the Q-Star Tour: The ball feels fine in hand, so for a ball that goes for $20 a dozen it certainly doesn't feel or look cheap. The Cut Grey is a good looking ball, I like their logo, the alignment aid is simple and straightforward for those that use them, which I don't, and the white is bright and looks good. So the packaging is a bit wordy, but that really doesn't matter to me, it's what's inside that counts. Here are some photos, then I'll get into my first impressions: I didn't get as much time with them as I wanted, the chipping green got busy before I had a chance to move very far back, and the practice green was just punched yesterday. This should be a pretty good comparison, both are three piece, urethane cover, and similar compression ratings (Cut Grey = 80, QST = 72). These showed up here today too! Made a quick trip to my local course's practice area for a little short game work, comparing the Cut Grey with the Srixon Q-Star Tour.
