A value brand like Slazenger does not have a good reputation for quality, and Top Flite is no exception. A new set of Top Flite clubs will cost you around $150-$219.99, although a great condition used set from eBay or Craigslist would be preferable. However, Top Flite Golf balls are excellent low-cost balls.
Finally, the cover is a DuPontTM HPFTM mantle layer followed by an incredibly soft yet durable ionomer core. According to reports, these components seem to work effectively together. In my experience, at least!

Do Top-Flite balls go further?
The Top-Flite Afterburner Core Technology produces extra distance by increasing the ball’s acceleration. Both the XL Distance and XL Straight are available in 15-ball packs. The yellow hue on the XL Distance makes it easier to correct errant strikes.
I effectively striped my drives. The ball’s mantle layer is intended to boost ball speed and minimize driver sidespin for further distance and accuracy, and I really raked my balls down the fairway. On impact, it had a softer feel than most low-cost balls, but it wasn’t buttery.
| Firmness | The Gamer is somewhat stiffer than other premium ionomer balls. The softer cover is intended to generate a little more spin. |
| Long Iron | When I was hitting woods and longer irons, the results were roughly similar. I had a solid, penetrating, straight-flight with a probable yard or two more carry than normal. The ball stopped rolling quickly when I hit a long shot on to the green (for example, on a par four), which is considerably quicker than I had anticipated from it, |
| Compression | The Top Flite Gamer has a compression of 77 on our gauge. The comps in the market, such as the OnCore ELIXR (80) and the Bridgestone Tour B RX (77), are urethane-covered balls with similar compressions. In terms of compression, the most comparable ionomer ball we’ve measured so |
| Consistancy | While core color was mostly uniform with only a few visible bits of regrind here and there, we did find a few balls with what appeared to be chunks of red material in the center. The most serious case was marked as bad. However, because the same ball had a significant concentricity problem, it would have been labeled regardless of the |
| Cover | In general, the covers on the Top Flite Gamer performed well. However, because a small portion of the dimple pattern had been destroyed, we identified one ball in the sample as bad. |
| Flexible | The Gamers is a DICK’S Sporting Goods-exclusive house brand that allows the world’s largest specialty retailer to create Gamer as it sees fit. The prior generation flirted with the “Tour” category because of its urethane covering. |
| Feel | The Game Feel was excellent since to the solid core and soft ionomer cover, but it isn’t as nice as a tour-quality ball with a urethane cover. Of course, compared to Top-Flite Gamer V2 golf balls, those kinds of balls are softer and provide more short-game spin for roughly twice the cost. My putter, on the other hand, felt smooth and “clicky” when I hit off it. This insert is actually rather soft. It rolled straight and true. |
| Ball’s durability | I was also taken with the ball’s durability. For my complete round, I used a single Top-Flite Gamer V2 golf ball, and I only noticed two minor scuffs when I plucked it out of the cup on No. 18. |
| Short iron | These long irons and wedges weren’t very powerful, but they did have some bite. They won’t back up on the green, however they do have some short-game “stopping power.” |
About
The company is resuming its Gamer brand with the most recent version. It’s going back to its origins as a low-cost ionomer-covered ball with a little performance boost.

Bottom line: top flite gamer v2 review
The Top-Flite Gamer V2 golf balls are excellent, especially for the price. Rather than playing like a budget distance ball, they play like a solid mid-range ball that costs $10 or $15 more per dozen. Distance is fantastic, accuracy is good, and they’re quite durable. Naturally, the spin off a wedge isn’t
