All winter I've been playing Titleist TruFeel balls as they are cheap and I don't mind losing them in the mud and stopping power on approach to greens isn't really an issue when the greens are so soft!
Yesterday afternoon as the sun was shining I decided to play something different, not usually a lover of firm balls (I've played the Q Star Tour and Titleist Tour Soft in 2023) but I found a decent TP5x in the locker and decided to give that a go!
WOW - when caught well with the driver I was getting a noticeable boost in distance and also seemed a more penetrating ball flight, well struck irons also seemed to have a bit more distance on them.
Chipping and putting obviously felt a lot different with a much firmer ball than I've been playing with, but I reckon I could get used to the feeling!
But TP5x's are sooo expensive, are there any slightly cheaper alternatives or do I just have to bite the bullet.
Driver swing speed is usually a touch under 100mph.
