What golf ball do you play?


Recommended Posts

I found one of these the other day and put it in play. It was hotter than a two dollar pistol and landed like a butter fly with sore feet! I checked them out at Dick's today and will be picking up a dozen or two for winter play. At $21.00 with solid performance, I'm a new fan. Did I said these things were loooooong! Titleist DT Trusoft impressive IMO.

It is a good ball for the money. I was fooling around with them beginning of the year. Lots of roll!

I played from the blue tees Saturday which I rarely do.  I hit some drives on the back that blew by where I normally hit drives from the white tees.  It's fare to say my driver was on its best behavior however still between solid strikes and this ball, I saw something that I want some more of!

Your right it is a long ball. My problem is I have a tendency to hit a low flight off driver and irons. This ball actually hurt me with all the roll. Hard to believe too long a problem . Enjoy it, you have the game for this ball wish I did price is right.

Will be playing the Tour B XS next year.

Got to play it the last 36 holes, Not as long as the B330 S off the driver.

But the feel and distance off the irons & wedges were great.

Interesting that they're not as long as last year's model, I was putting some out there that were nearing 300 total yards when I found the middle of my driver. I was planning on testing the Tour B X on Saturday as well, but ended up not losing the XS. Unless one of the other 3 absolutely blows my mind, the XS is going in the bag moving forward

 

It's everything I like about the Vice Pro in terms of feel, but seems to go an extra 5-10 yards. Too bad they're not the same price -- I'll be impatiently waiting for a 3-for-2 or 4-for-3 sale.

Trusoft is an awesome 2 piece ball. They take off like a rocket for me with the irons.

Please remember everyone's swing speed is different and what the performance is out of the ball. So you need to know your swing speed and make some simple decisions about ball control!

I want mine to fly straight all conditions and stop on a dime and leave change.

Has anyone played the Taylormade project a balls? I️ just got a free dozen. Tried them out at the chipping green but they don't feel that great. Thinking of picking up some Callaway super soft balls instead.

I played one that I found for about 10 holes. I thought it felt/played similar to the Penta and I had decent success with it until I hit it into the woods.

... Very good mid tier ball that does everything a premium ball does with the exception of green side spin. Pitches and chips will roll out compared to a premium ball if you depend on short game spin.

Yeah I've noticed compared to the chrome soft I've played with a few times.

Bridgestone E6's for me. Don't know enough about all the differences as yet while I'm still learning, but I "got fit" for these based on my best guesses. Grabbed a bunch of AAAAA quality used ones off of eBay and they seem to fly OK for me.

It's decent for the price, but I think the Vice Pro is a better ball for me, for a couple more dollars per dozen. Need to get a few more holes, or at least a complete round with it.

 

Also, for an 80 compression rating it feels mushy. Maybe it's the core of the ball, or I just need to play it more, but it felt like it was even softer than a chromesoft. Weirdly didn't get a lot of spin for such a soft feeling ball - I stopped playing chromesoft because it was just sucking back too much to be playable.

 

I'd use it again on a day like today though, it was windy as hell and I just wanted to get a quick 9 in after work. For now, I'll play the Tour B XS when I'm trying to have a nice round, and Vice Pros every after work round.
