Popular Post StrokerAce Posted March 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2021 So many choices now in the golf ball space; both exciting and can be somewhat confounding. What are you going with this year? Sticking with the tried and true that you've used for years or thinking of something else? I've tried to play mostly Srixon but will admit to branching out and trying some others like the Maxfli; have found a lower price version I'm thrilled with yet. I'm frugal so I try not to go over 30 for a dozen, which cuts out a lot of the higher end balls. I think this year I'm going to try the MTB-X. Can pick up a dozen on Amazon for 33 now and free ship w/prime.

cnosil Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Based on Titleist fitting I am going to compare the V1 against the AVX. Been plying the AVX but the online fitter thought the V1 would be better.

Middler Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Snell MTB-Black as I have since the original MTB. I buy them 4-5 dozen at a time so they’ve always been under $30 including shipping. I’ve tried all the big name and other DTC tour balls, and I even buy myself a dozen Pro V1’s once a year or so, but I always come back to the Snell MTB. If cost was no object I’d play Pro V1’s, but the best value tour ball is the Snell MTB for my money.

Pandaman Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Inesis 900 for me. I'm upgrading from a cheaper different brand that I've used for a couple of years and get on ok with, but feel I may benefit from a better quality ball. I like Srixon Soft Feel, but i get a eurethane cover for about the same price with the Inesis so giving them a go this season. Curtis Atkinson 1 Quote Link to comment

GregGarner Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Gonna do a little tinkering with the new Z-Star. Softer and spinnier around the greens but less spin off the driver reads like a recipe for switching from the XV, but we'll see. First up I need to get new/different wedges.

Kenny B Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I'm not sure. I still have a dozen or so of the Titleist Tour Soft that I was using for winter golf. I also have a dozen large numbers PV1X left over from last summer. I can probably get by for a few months without buying any {slight brag}. I may get another dozen PV1X or the MTB-X, but I'd also like to try a sleeve of Tour B X.

GolfSpy BOS Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 For me its looking like Snell MTB-X is the leader in the clubhouse. I've also still got a few Bridgestone Tour B X left too. Plus a few leftover (starting to get beat up) early season Pro V1X to go through. I'll try to play a few more rounds with both the Snell and Bridgestone, but based on my late rounds last year I don't see a reason to go with anything other than the Snell. Also, I'll be ordering mine with with the AlignXL printing. I'm hooked. edingc, HardcoreLooper, RDel90 and 2 others 5 Quote Epic Max LS 10.5 - Motore X F3 6X | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | TSi3 20* Hybrid - KBS Proto 85S SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 ER2B | Pro V1x | NX9 Slope | Jones Trouper R | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment
