winter ball for pro v1 users?

[Hendy]

been using the pro v 1's now from the start of july and to be honest dont know why i did not switch a long time ago..

however with the winter coming in what ball should i switch to? i dont want to keep using them as with the softer ground and greens i dont feel the need to keep using them.. plus at my home club sometimes you lose the odd ball in the winter with the soft ground..

i had a mess about with a ad333 there yerterday but to be honest not really liking them any longer.. was thinking about the likes of a 3 piece ball like the dx3.

what do you use? maybe i be better picking up some lake pro v1x's balls..

Hendy, I just picked up a pack of the 24 'practice' prov1's from direct golf for about 9 pound. They will do me for winter.

Personally I like the AD333's, they have been my winter ball for the last 3 years, however, I priced them up at 15 pound in AG and didn't want to pay it, considering they used to be a tenner.

Pro V practice balls and a fluoro marker to colour them in...boom, job done !

Srixon Soft Feel is the ball I use all winter, I think its a smashing ball for the money. Great value and a lot softer than the AD333.

I use the Maxfli Noodles and find them great for Winter use at about £10 per doz

Bridgestone B330 RX arent a bad ball going by my recent experiences.

I love the B330s but just dont seem to like the RX at all - dont find they go as far - I find them a bit lifeless and dont enjoy putting with them - ha shows you, one mans rubbish is another mans gold.

After reading all the good reports about the RX,i thought i may have got a dodgy ball,as i found them very springy and clicky.when chipping and putting,and only really felt soft when hitting full shots,although they did check up well enough.

The nxt or dts solo by titelist are good for the mucky weather i find ..

 

[Imurg]

I've just got myself a dozen Callaway HX Diablo Tour balls. As good as the NXT Tour and probably cheaper. Decent spin.
Worth checking out.

 

[Bobirdie]

try out the taylormade burner ldp tp balls. I use them in the wind.less spinny than pro vs but they still feel nice off the club

Same ball I use all year round. Srixon AD333

I just jet off to my winter base in Dubai and carry on using my Pro V1x's..............

Oh ok, in reality I just use my scuffed ones like Patrick and Mungo!

think i might keep a eye out for some pro v lake balls have a few well used pro v's tho not going be enough for a mucky course...

based on the rain we have had the last few days i say i have a 2 weeks till its back to hats and full wet gear lol

cheers for all the feed back

I find the premium balls spin too much in winter. The greens are so soft that the ball backs up on approach shots and checks too quickly on chips - except when I play it firmer to allow for the check and of course it doesn't check.....

 

[HawkeyeMS]

I normally just play the same ball B330-S all year round, I just make sure balls and clubs are kept in the warm the night before I play.

I like the fact they check more on chips as I can be more aggressive.
