yungkory Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Has anyone tried Chrome Soft X-outs? They're pretty cheap on CPO. I liked the 2017 CS because it was a good ball (spinny, but good), and the price was right. The 2018 with graphene feels no different, and paying more per dozen because they want to tell me graphene makes a difference, is whack.

808nation Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I like my Srixon Q Star Tour balls the best for my game and also gaming the original K Sigs and Snell MTB's which I have a few dozen left. After I run out, I will continue to purchase my Srixon QST's but also want to try some Oncore Elixr balls. I bought a 3 ball demo pack and they felt pretty good.

russtopherb Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I played the Top Flite Gamer Tour for the first time today. I was pretty impressed with it around the green, it checked up very well. I did seem to find it a slight bit shorter by around 3-4 yards or so vs. the Gamer Soft & the Duo, but nothing that I couldn't adjust to over time. It felt great off of all my clubs.

Interested to hear your thoughts, or maybe a mini-review in the master ball thread I could play either one no problem. The AVX is the best of both Pro V's. It's longer, lower, better in the wind, and great around the greens for me. I just wish the whiteness of the ball was better. The CSX is longer and spins a little bit more for me. I hated the number normal CS. It is way too soft, spins too much, and very inconsistent for me. I always thought I didn't have enough club head speed for the CSX. I think it's the best Callaway ball since the i series.

KevinE Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I've been a Bridgestone guy for about 6 years....was an e-6 guy until they came out with e-6 soft and e-6 speed. I played the soft first then the speed. I actually like the speed better. After about 5 holes the soft seemed to lose some life. I don't find that with the speed. Just me, maybe but as one Pro golfer once said I used to think golf was 90% in your head, I got better when I found out I was wrong, it's 100% in your head.

In order to truly understand what one specific ball will do. Last years chrome soft I've kind of been switching around too, playing whatever ball I had as long as it was urethane covered. Probably not a good idea I realized so now I'm only playing Chrome Softs. Once my supply is gone I want to find an equivalent replacement, but cheaper. I'm wondering if the Vice Pro Soft is that ball?

NiftyNiblick Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Before my hiatus from the game, I was getting Pro V1s for gifts, Once I was off the Haig Pinch, that is. The latter USED to be the easy, no-brainer gift selection. On my own dime, however, I play much less expensive Top Flite Gamers. To be perfectly honest, once they discontinued making wound balls, which I hated, I couldn't tell one brand name ball from the other in terms of performance. My game was never good enough for that. I used to play the original Top Flite, often called the Rock Flite, when they were made in nearby Chicopee Massachusetts by the Spalding Company, once a major name in golf. It was their alternative to the then famous Spalding Dot wound ball. Now I play modern Top Flites, made by who knows whom?, just out of familiarity with the logo. .

Sluggo42 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Two games in now with the chromes.they are a very good ball They will last a long time tho, I bought two dozen and still haven't lost one. Not sure if I'm at a point to describe them yet, besides being soft feeling. I am really on a tear with iron play lately, so I'm not sure if they're a bit longer, or if that's just me hitting them really well.- But, so far they are wonderful. I'm starting to get more short shot info as each game rolls by, so I need to pay attention. I'm thinking that by the time I roll thru these two dozen I will then be able to switch to a different ball, and play it exclusively for a good 20 rounds or so, and then definitively be able to tell you the differences, pro and con.

What aspects of the ball are appealing to you, besides the price! Although that's a good starter. I thought I heard they get torn up pretty quickly. Do they turn well? Do they hold greens well? Are they soft off the face? Do they putt well? Are they longer than normal?

NiftyNiblick Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 At what level of playing proficiency do you think that the different attributes of brand name golf balls begin to become a factor? If I show up at the course to discover that I have no game-quality golf balls at all, I can buy a sleeve of whatever the pro has behind the counter and go out and play. This has been true since the wound balls, which I loathed, disappeared. At what point were you guys good enough to become a little bit fussy?

AH1980MN Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I grew up playing the balatas the my Dad/Uncle/Grandpa had cut or scuffed, so I really didn't like any balls better or worse until I started playing urethane balls. Since then I really try to play urethane if at all possible. Fwiw- the Gamer Tour (or urethane or whatever it's called now) is a really good ball, and almost as cheap as the vaunted Ksig. fozcycle 1 Quote WITB: Adams 9064LS 9.5* (until I cracked the face) Adams Super LS 17* Adams XTD Ti 23* Wilson Staff Ci7 4-PW Adams wedges: 52/7 56/13 60/7 Wilson Staff Infinite Southside putter/Odyssey DualForce 660 putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PING Apologist #9 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 What aspects of the ball are appealing to you, besides the price! Although that's a good starter. I thought I heard they get torn up pretty quickly. Do they turn well? Do they hold greens well? Are they soft off the face? Do they putt well? Are they longer than normal? Good stuff. I hope to answer as accurately as I can for ya. Durability is actually an asset with the Snell balls. I tested the MTB Red for MGS and beat the snot out of mine with favorable results. Recently playing with the Black, I've also pounded 'em through the ringer as only a high HC'er can; trees, cart paths, deserts, culverts, you name it. If I could find it, it was still in good shape. Turn? I'm speculating here, but assume you are referring to shot-shape. I really cannot speak to that as my skills at purposely creating a power fade or a draw is something I am working on, but when it happens, this ball performs. Hold greens? Yes indeed. Wedge play with these is really fun. Good high spin and predictable. With longer approaches (up to 7i) I've also had great luck holding on when I hit the green-rare, but occasionally. These surprise me more often than not when I'm on target. Soft? Absolutely. Perhaps not as soft as my former E6's, but definitely softer than the Reds or even a PV1. When I hit one on the screws I can tell I've compressed it and it usually turns out to be a decent shot. Pleasant sounding too... Putt well? TBD. My putting has been off for a bit lately so this is hard for me to answer. I'd say these are "OK" in this respect for now. I do like their sound off the putter face and they do roll nice and true for sure. If anything right now, I'd say they roll easier and maybe longer than my E6's did for some reason. Longer? Not for me really. At least not noticeably. I'd say they are about the same for me as the E6 and for sure shorter that the Red by at least 15-20 yards or so. I was willing to give up the distance gained for the accuracy and better wind control properties the Black has for me. In summary, I like the Snell MTB Black for it's durability, playability, green holding qualities, performance in the wind and, well the price. I feel I have a ball that is on par (or better) than a "premium" offering from a "premium" company. I still lose quite a few balls with the way I play (haphazardly.. ) so economics plays a key roll for me. But I still want a good golf ball to do the job when I do mine and if I were playing with a lesser quality ball I would maybe put part my blame for crummy performances onto it. I simply do not want that factor. The Snell MTB Black fits the bill for me-Premium ball hat performs at an economical price. Hope this helps Sluggo! (And sorry to others if I hijacked the thread... ) Cheers all!

Will_Mac Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Putting some old stock back into play has been the best impulse decision I've ever made for my game. Previous PB was +1, reached 5 or 6 times. Maybe even more... so infuriating. Very first full round with the new-old ball obliterated that score as I shot -4 (68). In the next 4 rounds I also went -1 and even par. So that made 3 of 5 that beat my previous PB. What??? The ball? Taylor Made TP Red LDP. After procuring more from Europe (yes I did!), I now have 5 dozen, good for a spell. Dean Snell was a TM engineer who's fingerprints are all over the TP Red LDP. Once I run through them (if I can resist the urge to hunt for more, that is), I'll have to give the Snell MTB Red a go.

TMAC Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I was a ProV1 guy for years. When they started having having durabuility issues a few years ago I started experimenting with other balls.Went to the Bridgestone B330s and liked them a lot.Used the B330RX and liked the feel of them even more.Now I play the Callaway Chrome Soft and absolutely love them.Played a round with the Titleist AVX and didn't care for them. Just tried the TM TP5 last week and liked them, especially in the wind. Might give them another try this weekend.

Sluggo42 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 ... I am guessing a combination of both. TP5x is one of, if not the best wind ball I have played. I remember the first time I played the Lethal in he wind an hit a knockdown 5 iron and after contact thought it would not carry the bunker, but it did with ease. I have been playing them ever since and the TP5x is the best version yet. Excellent green side control too. For me, the Chrome Soft does not spin as well around the green, although not a night and day difference. But as jlukes said, high swing speeds reap more benefits from the TP5x as it launches higher and really carries. For slower swing speeds I can see where the Chrome Soft would be longer and it is a great wind ball too. I'm interested in that both you and Jukes like the tp5x so much. Jukes swings faster than us, I'm 100-105, like you. A few years ago I reviewed the z-star, and knew nothing about them, but was quite surprised at how well I liked them. I can't recall from 4-5 years ago what all I said, but I seem to remember them being good. I've now been on a 2 month roll with last years chromes, and I do like them a lot. They do everything well, and are pretty nice feeling. (Reference- my buddy begged me to play a duo-soft last week, and man, what a marshmallow!) Now I've played a tp5 before and thought it was up to snuff with the “good balls†but I thought they scuffed too easily.. Now that I've got a solid reference point with my long stretch of the chromes, what do you think I'd find with playing a tp5x? Just a little more distance? Are they more scuff resistant? (A stiff wedge would scrape the finish it seemed) Anyways, thanks for the thoughts guys...

chisag Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'm interested in that both you and Jukes like the tp5x so much. Jukes swings faster than us, I'm 100-105, like you. A few years ago I reviewed the z-star, and knew nothing about them, but was quite surprised at how well I liked them. I can't recall from 4-5 years ago what all I said, but I seem to remember them being good. I've now been on a 2 month roll with last years chromes, and I do like them a lot. They do everything well, and are pretty nice feeling. (Reference- my buddy begged me to play a duo-soft last week, and man, what a marshmallow!) Now I've played a tp5 before and thought it was up to snuff with the “good balls†but I thought they scuffed too easily.. Now that I've got a solid reference point with my long stretch of the chromes, what do you think I'd find with playing a tp5x? Just a little more distance? Are they more scuff resistant? (A stiff wedge would scrape the finish it seemed) Anyways, thanks for the thoughts guys... ... I think I have posted several times I don't really find much difference in premium urethane cover balls. Of course I have some personal preference mostly concerning feel, but as far as just performance is concerned they all play very similar for me. The TP5x is the slight exception as it spins a little less off longer irons and woods (5-7yds) with a slightly higher trajectory, a great combination for longer shots as well as a good wind ball off the tee and long irons. With the mid/short irons/wedges and around the green the TP5x performs like most other urethane covered balls. I have not noticed any more scuffing with the TP5x than any of the other balls I have played this summer. That includes the Cut Blue, Kirkland Signature, Chrome Soft and Chrome Tours. cnosil and Sluggo42 2 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ... Ventus Red Velocore 5R Fairway: Qi10 5 wood ...

ole gray Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I might get some smirks however the ball I recently put in play (Topflight D2 Feel) is surprisingly good! IMO it's the boss dawg of the lower priced balls. Great feel off driver, irons, and putter and Dicks always runs a good sale on them. Don't laugh until you try em.
