My ball choice, Srixon Distance

[robemosc]

I use and love Srixon Distance. I never really took much notice of what balls I used but I picked a dozen up for a fiver at a car boot sale a few month back and never really looked back.

Really like the overall feel and thay feel good on the greens too.

I hear good reviews of the AD333 ball.

Anyone else a Srixon Distance user?

 

[One Planer]

My dad uses the Srixon Distance ball. He seems to like and get on with them. I prefer the AD333's myself.

 

[robemosc]

I'm going to get some AD333's today.

I think Srixon are 'on the ball' with the quality and premium feel.

My regular golf partner is a nike or callaway user and he is almost converted to srixon now

I've been bashing an AD333 around for a few games. Not the same one I hasten to add, luckily I had a dozen.
Not a bad ball at all.
I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at one.

I'm using last years Z-Star X and think it's a decent ball.

If you love the Srixon Distance how come you are going to get some 333s?

I'm a big fan of the AD333's.

I played a couple of rounds with a Pro Vx but I've thrown them out for the Srixons.

i was using ad333, but seen some nike PD soft cheap so bought them and havent looked back, great ball imo so i sticking with it, and having the ad333 to fall back on aint bad!

has anyone actually posted about srixon distance balls? the original poster has not mentioned ad333

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not a fan. Tried some down at Maidenhead Golf Centre where Srixon have a fitting centre and they launched way too high for me. My best fitting was for Z Star followed by Trispeed

Well there the ball everyone raves about so maybe is better... Until I've tried then how would I know?!

Popped into Sports Direct at lunchtime, just to have a browse around as you do.
Got looking at the balls on special offer, getting a bit low, so thought I'd treat myself to a dozen Nike PD Soft. Got 'em for a good price.
Then I came home and read the reviews

ive been using the srixon distance for the last month, i was losing a lot of balls as really only just started playing and you can get 2 dozen of them for £15 at sports direct, they feel as good as any others to me but im not really best equipped to give a good assesment of them in comparison to anything else as i have all manner of balls in my bag ! now played 2 rounds without losing a ball so they must have something about them! The only thing ive noticed is on the driving range i only seem to hit the range balls just over 200yds but all go pretty straight, on the course with the srixon distance i drive it more like 240 - 250 yds but nearly every one will fade quite a bit towards the end of the flight so they must allow a lot more movement of the ball. i do also struggle to get them to stop on the green with anything higher than an 8 iron but thats probably more about the way i hit them than the actual ball!

I seen some Nike dxt or something like that in sports direct.

9.99 almost got them... But wallet was at work :O

If you want a cheap Nike ball then the PD Soft or the SFT's are a better option.

I enjoy using PD-softs but have AD333 as well. Also have a few Srixon Distance balls but don't like the feel on the green. I'd love to play premium balls but my loss ratio is to high. Have a small pouch of found premiums in my bag to separate them from my main balls. When I'm feeling lucky I pull one out. Love the Z-star!

Distance are my winter ball of choice, too hard in the summer for the short game but ideal for me in winter plus they are cheap as chips. Winter golf for me is really just a good excuse to keep the swing in order so im never really that bothered about scores if im honest.

I cleared out a shed today. Behind some general garden crap was a box saying AD333 on it.

Even the sight of that made me feel physically ill.

There was only 1 sleeve left, and they'll be on sale tomorrow in the british heart foundation shop along with about 100 used balls, a putter and other golf-related stuff.

Maybe I should take them to "Relate" given they caused me enough bad rounds to require marriage counselling?

I did however find a sleeve of Z-stars and a 1-iron. I'm not giving those away.

Could they have been NDX by any chance. (Possible in Sports Direct)?

I think you got away lucky not having your wallet. If you really want to try them, I'll send you some if I can find the unused ones ever. Nasty ball. Nasty, nasty, rock-hard, nasty, horrible, odd-covered, nasty, no-feel, nasty ball.

Can you tell I don't like them.
