I like the e5 because it spins around the green due to the urethane cover but is also only 2 pieces so I get a distance ball as well Check out my personal Equipment Blog and Podcast!

cwojtowicz Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 108 mph 6 Handicap Callaway SR3 Ideally, I'd like a ball that has a decent blend of both. I want green side control but not at the expense of iron and wood shots that balloon up because of a high spin coefficient. I'm usually willing to part with a little bit of green side control in order to keep the spin down on the mishits.
