What type of ball ?

[yoda]

Hi new member here ! I have a question or two regarding golf balls.I'm a 16 handicap and member of Stowmarket GC in Suffolk and i would like to know what type of ball is regarded as best during the winter months but in particular speaking as somebody who can't purposely put spin on a ball,is a soft ball wasted on me ? i tend to use a hard ball most of the time but that's more due to habit than anything,also would i progress as a golfer if i switched to a soft ball ? thanks in advance .

If you're using a hard, non spinning ball then I'd stick with that.

I been using a ProV1 for the last few years, but tried the V1x over the winter, purely to see how it plays.

So far so good.

Plenty on here move from a premium ball to a mid range in winter. Some for extra distance. Some for less spin. Some people play the same ball all year round.

Personal preference I suppose.

You forgot the group that don't want to lose a premium ball under leaves or when it gets plugged in soggy ground

When the greens are are soft as ours are in winter there is no need for backspin to stop it on the green .
I'd continue with the ball you are using.
In summer months on hard dry greens then it is a different matter.
