I am playing Wilson Staff DX2 (Junior 13 years 18 hcp)
Just moved onto those TP5x they seem pretty good so far
Pro v1 tried them all that is the best for me
I bought 6 dozen of Nike RZN platinum when the price dropped to £17 a dozen £1.40 a ball bargain especially when you lose a few 🙂 🙂
I’ve tried to get fitted but the pros I’ve asked said just to play with the balls around the greens and see which one feels better, I currently have a the chrome soft and srixon z star they both seem to be ok but I always have the doubt of not knowing what’s a good ball for me
Chrome soft, great spin and I prefer yellow. Will try Vice pro soft soon ,
Great vid, I use callaway chrome soft on nice days and the yellow and black truvis on dull days, best ball I’ve played. Got some new Bridgestone to try out though
Good vid with excellent points. I had a ball fitting with my pro early this year and narrowed it down to the old chrome soft and pro v1 on performance. He recommended the CS purely due to price difference. Tried the new CS when they came out but don’t like the feel of it at all, so now playing Pro V1.
I played the ProV1x for years. But when I was fitted for my 917 D2 almost 2 years ago they had ProV1 in the bay. We spent so much time getting the driver right with that ball that I made the switch to try to get those numbers on the course.
Over the last month I’ve come to realize that X Type balls suit me better because getting height and spin are not a problem for me.
I’m now gaming ProV1x and TP5x depending on wind conditions. The more windy the day, the more likely I am to play the TP5x. On normal to low wind days it’s the ProV1x all the way for me.
I used Srixon Ad333 until recently I have switched to Callaway Warbird 3s as I like the soft feel around the greens.
Back to your comment on buying cheap balls for beginners, they should buy Dunlops from Sports Direct. A box of 12 is about a fiver I think
Just played my first round with Bridgestone Tour B330S and OMG they were amazing, driving, irons and chipping were great
I definitely think that Honma 6 layer golf balls is so worth it on a good day. Lol
I play the Srixon Z Star XV Tour Yellow and I have no plans on switching. Its long, durable and spins well on the greens. And yes my 55 year old eyes can see it better.
I play the chrome soft normal and find it excellent re feel/durability/price but was thinking of trying out the TP5 normal
TP5X
15 Handicap, I play the Srixon Q-Star Tour. Works great for me.
Hi James,
I’m a high handicapper but Srixon ultisoft have become my favourite ball. They are straight off the tee and soft around the greens.
Snell MTB Red. Love them. Long off the Driver and get great spin near the greens, and doesn’t break the bank.
Excellent topic. 1 thru 4 are the most important but I do feel 3 and 4 make the most sense around the green vs distance great review
Very good video; lots of good advice. 12 handicap, currently trying Snell balls. I find the Red has too much spin (fades turn to slices very quickly), but I like the Black. I like the Pro V’s, but, as you say, I can’t justify US$4 / ball. I tried the Titleist Tour Soft, but its cover is not durable (three of the first balls I used got chips – like an extra dimple – all in one round. Basically, 6 holes per ball!). I’ve also used (and like) the Bridgestone e6.
Srixon z-xv
ive never paid for a golf ball but when i have to go find mine by the river i tend to come back with a few in my pocket:) been liking the super soft callaways and the bridgestone b2.
I find Taylormade Project a are the best ball for my game, 18 handicap. Must be popular ball as keep getting more expensive unfortunately.
Taylormade tour preferred x 2014
But i like pro v1 too….but way too pricey
Comparing $500 drivers, getting fitted for a golf ball….it may be time for me to move on, James. This is all clearly out of my league. It’s not you; it’s me. It has been fun, but I think it’s over. See ya.
You are correct in what you say. I tend use soft balls on a links course and a harder ball for a parkland course.
pro v 1 expensive but like the quality
Taylormade tp5
I started to use Titliest AVX from TP5x. They go just as far and more durable. Im off a 10 handicap with Titliest 716 MB
Great video full of useful info and common sense, well presented, like all your content, really enjoying this style about drivers irons wedges etc, keep up the good work, also your comments about the yellow balls is spot on, I struggle seeing my ball and others in flight and in the rough at times and have pretty much gone to the yellow all the time, makes life a tad easier, cheers mate 🙂
