Different balls for different SS?

Kor A Dor I'm curious as to what ball you'd be loosing distance with because for me the Pro VIx like ball in a company's line is always the longest ball - longer than the mid level ones - the one exception would be the Callaway Warbird but I can't afford to have no control over distance - Doesn't do me any good to hit it 10 yards farther, have 8 iron instead of 7 but hit the 8 140 one time and 130 the next.  I'll take the 7 from 145 every time over that please.

 

Different swings will produce different results - it could be that a player will always get more distance out of a certain ball while another does well with another ball - perhaps your playing competitors aren't giving up distance after all.  You raise a good point though too - I may like to have the spin option around the green (I do) but that doesn't mean that another player doesn't prefer to have less spin so that he knows how the ball will run out.  That is a perfectly valid short game option and one can be very effective with it.  I need to go with way less loft (at least a 8 iron) to be sure that I'm not going to over spin a long chip.

Driver: Taylor Made Xi10 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  R flex   - 44.25 

Fairways:  Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood  Alta CB red 65 R flex

Hybrid:  Ping G410  26 degree  Alta CB Red 70 R flex 

Irons: Ping G430  7-PW, 45, 50 Alta CB black 65 soft R flex 

Wedges:  Ping 195 S54, E58

Wedges and irons are - 1/2” and one degree flat 

Putter: Sacks Parente Duke 32.5”

Ball: Titleist Pro VI or Callaway Chrome Soft X ls

 

While not at the same time I was fit for every club in my bag as well as the Pro VI ball. I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course.  It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. 

I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.

I knkw thee aw many here who play PROv1 just so they can have spin on a chip shot, Ive read where his is the case. The V1x has much less spin and more distance off the long clubs, so really for me I would choose the v1x over v1 for the less spin option, but there are other balls for me anyway that give me more distance, and still give me some spin on the greens, but doesn't check like the v1, chrome soft, and SR2. The duo is also a good ball, I just can't get anything out of the tee ball with that one.
