Deal Details
These are special golf balls for radar based golf simulators: Garmin R10, Mevo+ etc. i.e. if you don't own one of those simulators, these balls won't do you any good. Normal price is $70. This is on sale price.

oh, shipping is FREE!

The catch? These are v1x, not v1. They are 2021; not the latest 2023 model. All that crap is non sense for us mere mortal anyways. Like as if I will be able to tell the difference.

The RTC "tech" is just a freaking metallic stripe that they place under the skin of the golf ball. I admire their sales department for giving it a fancy RTC technology name and have the courage to charge $70/box.

Rumur is that this RTC tech can significantly improve accuracy. I will give it a shot. But not at $70.

Interesting indeed, I use just regular balls in my outdoor net, but it's a 10x10x10 and I'm back a few feet, seems to work fine for me. Is it indoor that requires something like this? Regardless, thumbs up for golf deals

Note that these have been the same price at dickssportinggoods.com for a while now, too.

You could also take the frugal route and add some dots of metal reflective tape to your existing practice balls: https://youtu.be/6nS9AkybdH4

These RCT golf balls are great with my Garmin R10. With regular golf balls, the R10 would estimate the spin, but with these, it actually measures the spin rate. When displaying the spin rate, it is either italicized(estimated) or not italicized(measured).
Highly recommended with the R10, although I'm not sure about other flight monitors.

I have an R10 also, never paid much attention to that before so I'm gonna pick some up and give 'em a try whenever I get my cage back up

Even Trackman indoors has questionable side spin rates. These balls help shore some of that up

I am not sure how much the RTC balls will help. I do notice more obvious slices and hooks on the driving range. For which I don't notice as much on the Garmin R10 sim. If I tried to do a fade or a draw on purpose, I can see that on the Garmin. So definitely the Garmin is picking up some side spins but probably not very accurate. I hope the RTC balls could improve that a bit.

Although, I will remain doubtful until I am proven wrong. While the RTC balls can provide extra input. I am not certain that can be translated well into the simulation. There will still be a big difference in real life.

Finally a civilized price on these.

I picked up a box via a friend's discount for my Mevo+ and they work wellin our small garage setup. Captures spin rates and shot shape more accurately than with normal balls… I went this route in favor of the metallic dots due to reviews I saw comparing results between the two.

I am still using the same one from 7yr ago. I play every weekend. I need to replace it because paint is peeling off and looks awful. But I don't need this many. I'm never in the woods when I play but maybe I will send my grandson in there to look for a new one. I'm starting to get bored playing with friends. All I do is stand in the middle of the fairway waiting to hit. Decisions….Decisions

These are for use at a golf simulator. There's a reflective metal strip in the ball that makes it more accurate on radar sim systems like Trackman. I'm not sure that they would be bad for course play but it would be a waste.

A dozen of these golf balls would last you for years of sim use btw.
