winter golf ball recommendation

[markgs]

does anyone have a recommendation for a good winter golf ball, i have been using a titleist pro v1x but with the greens so soft i think i could use a cheap option, the pro v1x seem to chew up. I tried dt solo buy hate the feel of then so looking for an in between any views

Clubhouse have yellow z stars £20 found them a bit firmer than pro v,

Ive just bought 15 Wilson Ultra distance balls from sports direct for £8, don't know what theyre like but I can handle losing them at that price.

I play the Pro V1 in the summer, so decided to give the Pro V1x a bash over the winter months as, apparently it's a little firmer.

What a load of proverbial.

Fellt a little firmer, but not much, went as far, control was just as good, and played under my handicap.

In all honestly, I actually prefer the the Pro V1x to the Pro V. Problem is I have 6 dozen, Pro V1's, new in the box to get through first

 

[Foxholer]

Pro V1x seems to have been getting closer and closer to what the original Pro V1 was designed for.

While there are several Srixon and Nike flavours, including 'soft' ones, used for Practice at tournaments, only the Pro V1x is used in the Titleist range.

NXT Tour (and the 'S' version) seems to be a pretty good ball - the S suits me in Summer too.

Am I in the minority playing the same ball all year round?

Srixon AD333 or the Bridgestone E6 are both fine, as is the Titleist NXT

Probably but I do too. I did change last year but the is mainly as I ran out of balls as winter approached so bout some mid range ones. Z-Stars all the way for me this winter though

Doesn't look like they do any more.
They do have 3 for 2 on the Mizuno D201 though which is a great ball (for all year) and at £40 for 3 dozen, great value as well.

I don't think so - I also play the same ball. Not sure why people would change anyway.

Personally change because a premium ball spins way too much on soft greens, makes it very difficult to hit full short irons so prefer one that spins less. Once the greens get even wetter and balls are just plugging seems little benefit in hitting a premium ball anyway so use a cheaper variant

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I change as I'm short off the tee and so a firmer ball helps. I play NXT S

 

[Lump]

Same as a few, play Z stars all year through. I don't loose many balls so only buy 6'ish dozen a year.

 

[upsidedown]

No don't bother changing either , the Prov 1x suits my driving game.

 

[Region3]

I've always played through with the same ball, but I'm just about to run out of my favourite and can't find them anywhere at a sensible price so thinking of changing for this winter.

Not made up my mind yet so will watch this with interest.

Callaway hex hot pro is my ball for winter. 3 for 2 at cgdiscountgolf.co.uk too, so less than £40 for 36 balls.

Have just taken delivery of 3 dozen, playing with them in the morning, seems a great deal at £40

I play a Urethane Ball during the season, mainly because of the control from 100 yards and in. I've recently bought some cheaper options as you don't see the benefits of a tour ball as much on wet greens, but have to say that I miss the softer ball, so this will probably be the first winter where I continue to play the same ball all season!

I don't have that problem, I don't generate enough spin

With less competition play in the winter I switch to using any old ball for bounce games. For my winter league matches I'm using AD333's that I won recently, this will give me consistency. Then in the summer I'll use the Prov's ive got stashed away. With the leaves on the ground loosing a ball is likely, Id hate to lose a prov after a good shot!
