I play on a parkland course and at this time of year what type of ball would you guys recommend for a 5 handicapper ? The course is well drained for a parkland track .

Whatever you prefer? A 5 handicapper asking for advice on which ball?

Personally have gone away from a premium ball because it spins too much, am using AD333s whilst wet (although a NXT would do as well), basically a case of finding a non spinning ball that you feel comfy chipping and putting with
I agree that as a 5 handicapper you should have a fair idea what works and doesn't for your game by now. I think the AD333 or NXT will get a lot of votes but I have been using the TM Burner TP with very good results

i think you need to stick with the same ball you use all year round.especially if it is well drained,i can't see length being an issue.

How soft are your greens..?
If they're as soft as ours are, a premium ball will stop dead or suck back miles on approaches and chips - very hard to control.
I'm using Cally HX Hot/Diablo Tour at the moment. Still softish around the greens but you don't get the huge check spin, the ball rolls out a bit and I find it easier to judge.
To be honest, I'm using almost anything at the moment - played a good round with an o0ld TM Burner ball the other day....

NXT/NXT tours are pretty good, I picked up a Maxfli (tour ??, sorry not sure) but was surprised how good it was. I like a yellow ball in the cold/frost so will buy a few 333's or I think Bridgestone do a coloured ball, or even some yellow Z stars.
