I shipped some Srixon AD333 to the US and I find them to be fantastic but can’t always find deals. Srixon balls are made at different plants depending on the ball… personally I find the Q-Star Tour balls to be poorly made… you can often feel air pockets and then watch them tumble through the air. Can’t imagine they help your putting. That said, love most Srixon balls. XV, Z, AD333 and even find the Soft Feel adequate in a pinch. Long, Don’t roll on approach shots and are easy to see.

I am a similar player good for 1 ball a fairway over per round, carry 275-300 depending on temps. College baseball. Strong iron and wedge game. I LOVE playing Srixon XV and buy them early in the year at 4 dozen for under $30/dozen. I also find Snell MB or Snell MBT-X are well made and long balls… dirty tends to stick. Callaway Warbirds and Titelist Velocity are good distance but generally don’t spin well so hit ‘em high or adjust for the roll. Currently you can get 5 dozen Vice Pro Plus for $144 - never played them but seems like a deal and better for longer hitters. More to come.

Honestly, I think you feel a softer club head when hitting a firmer shaft and a dense thin grip. Not sure that is true but that’s what the experience I was referencing.

Shaft and grip have to have an impact on feel too right? I hit Modus 120s for flighting however I definitely noticed a difference bigger difference in feel when hitting dynamic gold.

Very interesting topic. I am a 12. I have 50, 56, 60 in my bag. I play public and private. So 56 is 14 bounce and 60 is 8 bounce. It has worked really well for me. However I find as I am getting better opening the face… the 60 is used less and less. What’s the strategy difference between those that carry a 52or54&58 vs 56&60?

I have the mizuno JPX forged 921s with 120S shafts. I have enjoyed them but I get an inconsistent trajectory with my 6-7 iron and tend to get a very high launch from 8-gap. Separately, the 120S generally feel heavy. Iron swing speed is 89-92 mph. I just bought the 105X and am hoping to get more consistent ball flight from 6-9. More to come.
