balls!!!!!

[geronimo]

moving on from the refinished balls thread what balls do you all play and why.

Me i am using cheap balls until i get a bit better then get some good ones to use, so i am interested in your opinion.

I have played good balls and really like the feel of soft ones but how much distance do you think you loose using soft compared to distance balls?

 

[Down_The_Middle]

Just lately i've been using srixon distance balls. At about £10 a box I think they are good value and play well too

 

[brendy]

Titleist Prov1's, I used to prefer the maxfli revolutions, back before they stopped produciton of the softer ones and began making Titleist solo like balls.
The prov1's have a reliable spin and feel especially round the edges of greens, you can stop them faster in confined run out areas ie when theres a bunker between you and the hole then danger behind the flag. Harder balls just dont get the same grip/spin off wedges etc and will run out the bit further, usually away from where you wanted them to stp.

 

[geronimo]

are prov1's classed as a soft ball or a hard ball or are they supposed to be a intermediate ball

 

[MVP]

I use NXT's tour I would use prov 1 but they are too dear to lose i need more spin on the greens as i have now learnt how to use it properly!

 

[medwayjon]

NXT Tours, for the same reason as MVP.

I used Srixon Soft Feel during the summer and quite liked them, but am trying Callaway Warbirds at the moment. I m getting quite a bit more distance, but they seem quite hard round the greens. Am going to try AD333s or NXTs next and see if i can get a bit more ditsnace than the Soft Feel and stil get reasonable feel around the greens.

They tend to give you more feel and control around the green so i suppose you would class them as being soft.

This year I used Warbirds and got the distance but lost feel around the greens so I bought 3 boxes of AD333 and they are far better around the green and I feel I have more control in my long game.

NXT for me, been using Wilson Staff Dx2 for ages and fancied a change and now dont see myself going back.
Going to try some V1 next pay day!

Taylor Made Black are for me.

For the guys talking about trying Srixon balls I think they are excellent, was using the Z-urs last season, only complaint was that they scuff far too easily!

AD333 and soft feel are outstanding value.

I did quite like the soft feel and got them for the same price as warbirds at my local golf shop. He's also got AD333's at £14 a dozen, so am definitely giving them a go when the weather bucks up.

You can get 3 dozen AD333 for £40 with free p+p on fleabay and they are 2008 model not 2007.

I'm in the same position as geronimo, moving up from lake balls to something more consistent.

As a back-up I have a box of Warbirds, which seem well recommended but I'm trying Wilson Deep Reds (AG have a 2-for-1 deal on) but I'm really not sure what to expect from them. Anyone know?

 

[Parmo]

The Warbirds are great for distance and can become very addictive, but they are very hard around the greens, not to bad in this weather but you need a ball for all year round.

The above may or may not be true
