Balls

Personally, I’ve been using the prov1x for the last year or so, mainly because a club fitter recommended it. I do like them, I like the feel, distance and the spin I get. However, I don’t like the price!

With that in mind I’ve been trying to wade through the mygolfspy ball test, and have taken a punt on srixon zstar xv. From what I can gather they give good distance and spin. £30 for a dozen on eBay, will see what happens!

Reading the bargains thread I’m kind of wishing I’d tried the Wilson triad now. Although the way I’m playing I’ll probably need to buy some more balls soon anyway!

I was using the Wilson Triad over winter. Partly because I like using a softer ball when it’s cold and partly because I don’t want to waste premium balls chopping it round a muddy course.

With the weather improving I switched to Pro V1X last week. What a difference. The ball feels more explosive off the driver face and longer off the tee. And approach shots were spinning more.

In winter the greens are soft, it feels like throwing darts and there is no benefit in extra spin. Now the greens are a little firmer it was noticeable how I could get the ball to hop and stop on little pitches.

Over the winter I was getting 2 or 3 yards of backspin with Chromesofts or similar balls.
A couple of weeks ago I hit one into a green and it just bounced and didn't stop...could still be going now.
I always keep a couple of Tour balls in the bag and they came straight out.
Swapped all the softies out last week.
