Could use a little advice.

I have just been offered a complementary box of ball of my choice. I normally use Z stars or E6 but have been offered a box of my choice to make up for a stock issue from a golf store. I don't know what to get i'm thinking of trying;

Pro v1

Mizzy MP-S

Nike 20X1

I have plenty of Z stars and E6 so I thought I would to try something different as it is a one off, what should I go for / what would you go for and why?

personally I would stick to what your used to. Could try the tm lethal though, I am a tight northerner but am going to splash out on a dozen once I lose the current ones (4 rounds with same ball now but its looking a bit battered) and have 10 left. Really liking the length off the tee with them and chipping.. putting is crap but thats me & rubbish greens at the mo :)

If you want different then Pro V.

I chewed a Mizzy to bits in 11 holes. I would stick with Z-STAR though.

For me, I'm loving the lethals. I know I'm beginning to sound like a TM advert but played quite a bit with them and much prefer them over the Pro V I was using.

The main difference being that the lethal's seem to spin less, particularly into the wind. I hit a decent tee shot with a 2013 Pro V the other day and the tiny fade ended up getting caught in the wind and costing me 20 yards, ending up in the rough. I'm convinced this wouldn't have been the case with the lethal - at least it hasn't been so far.

I really liked the Nike's whenever I used them (got a few from a mate). I have used Z Stars also, and found the Nike's to be fairly similar.

I can't get on with ProV1's, so it'd be Nike every time for me.

Bridgestone Tour B330S is a great ball as is the Callaway HEX Black Tour but if you are set on one from that list, I'd go with ProV1.

I play the Pro V1 so would recommend that.

I was lucky enough to be included in the GM trial of the Mizuno ball. It's a bit firmer than the Pro V, plays just as well. I didn't have too many issues with durability, probably on par with the Pro V, but then I don't have a fast enough swing speed to cause any drastic damage to the cover.

Well I have decided.

The new Pro v1 was not in stock and I had decided not to go for the mizzy or nike one's, no one seems to think much of the nike balls. As I play Z stars I went for the 2013 Z stars to give those a go and see if the spin skin is any good
