AD333 vs AD333 Tour

[Jamie23]

Has anyone compared the two balls or currently play one over the other?

Going to purchase some on the 3 for 2 deal Srixon are currently running.

Did anyone notice any performance gains playing the tour over the regular version?

Tour i think is a better ball, would use it in winter no issues.

still have a shopping cart full of 333 in the garden that my old dog Baldrick found over Torvean, alas its too expensive to post them to anyone outside my area

I have an irrational dislike of them because their name is long and unwieldy. What do you call them, A D three three threes? Or Three thirty threes? Three hundred and thirty threes? Why did they give them such a cumbersome name?? Other brands use snappier titles like 'Velocity', 'Chromesoft', in fact even Srixon's other balls are snappier named than this particular ball. Whoever came up with AD333 certainly wasn't a marketing man.

What are you using during the Summer?

Prov1 X

suppose its dependant on handicap and what you want from a ball

333 due to the number of dimples on the original gen 1 model.

Oh i dodn't know, they have got away with using that name for a few years, just like the Prov1, people remember it rather than some silly name, like; Ice or Crush etc

and as Banana says the dimples

 

[Orikoru]

333 due to the number of dimples on the original gen 1 model.

So the name isn't even relevant anymore because the number of dimples has changed? That's even worse!

 

[robinthehood]

The AD three hundred and thirty three tour is a nice ball. The non tour I have found to be a little softer.

A manufacturer can call their product what they like, regardless of whether you like it or not. Just in case you hadn't noticed, the Mini is called just that, even though it isn't.
Perhaps you should get onto BMW and tell them, just in case they hadn't realised.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

I find the AD333 a good winter ball but not a summer ball. The tour version I find slightly more all rounded.

 

[Orikoru]

In Ireland they must be known as tree turdy trees?

 

[USER1999]

I call them AD treble 3s. Don't like them either. Way too soft and squishy.

 

[NorwichBanana]

I use both of these golf balls.
AD 3's for winter and general knocks.
AD Tours for comp.

 

[Tashyboy]

I use them both, must say I do prefer the Tours, they just feel "better" all round. But ave for to the stage am not paying tour prices. 3 for 2 would make it a better deal though.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I keep Z-Stars to use - as I keep TP5s, TP5xs, Bridgestone Tour B XS and Tour B RXs. Everything else goes in the bag for our juniors and our range. Got hundreds of AD333s and a growing number of AD333 Tours. Current ball of choice is Pro V1 or V1x - I'm not fussed which I use. Also got a doz AVXs - not tried them yet.

My understanding was that name was an abbreviation for 'Advanced Design; 333 dimples'.

AD333 Tour is my ball of choice these days. Blue one eels a bit of a rock. Never liked the Green 'soft'. Distance is my Winter ball, though I'm just about through the several dozen I bought very cheaply some years ago.

 

[jim8flog]

AD333 is a two piece ball

AD333 Tour is a three piece ball

I would play with the Tour but not the standard ball

The standard ball is slightly harder and does not spin as much as the Tour.

 

[User20204]

I throw them back.

 

[ScienceBoy]

I can shoot in the mid 80s with the AD333s in the summer so would go for the tours if I had a chance, might knock a few shots off.
