I will definitely use an AD333, Titleist NXT (still have a supply left) or Tour Speed and definitely feel I get more distance than a premium ball in winter. With greens being soft spin or lack of isn't so much of an issue
 
I found a red Wilson staff dx ball and used it last week, not a ball I’ve used before but it definitely went further than the callaway chrome soft and super soft balls I was using.

Flushed a 5 iron 179 on a par 3 with the super soft then hit the Wilson 189 to the back of the green. These were measured distances to the pitch mark. Confused me because it was into a slight breeze and I don’t usually hit a 5 iron 190 and my irons are 10 years old and not filled with foam. Are these Wilson balls known for being long? They feel very very soft.
 
End of last season I went from ad333 to avx as a ball in general. So I had 2 boxes of ad333 left (still have about a box left) I would start a round with 2 avx and if I lost them id then switch to ad333 so I was using up the old supply

Ive changed the bag now, all avx in there. Next winter I'll use the rest of the ad333 up probs but those avx feel excellent and really improved the flight on the driver

I've moved onto my summer ball for this year as well now. Vice Pro Air. Only lost one in three rounds so not a bad start. 😁

I am very sad to report I have finally lost the AVX I teed off with Monday .. the little trooper lasted 2 full rounds... The 9 hole par 3 before finally going into the gorse on 7 today

Not bad tho one ball lost all week
