Popular Post StrokerAce 11,332 Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 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. 10 Quote P G410 LST | C King F7 | C SuperHybrid | T 818 H2 | S Z785 | C ZipCore | Bettinardi SS38 armlock Link to post
DiscipleofPenick 2,217 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Sticking with the Srixon Z-Star but experimenting with the XV and some of the other X balls once the season gets going. Take Dead Aim 3 Quote Take Dead Aim Link to post
cnosil 17,088 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 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. 7 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 588 54-14, 58-12 Putter: TM-180 Backups: 6330 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to post
RickyBobby_PR 5,988 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Prov1 is the main ball. I am curious about what TM did with the new TP5/5x and curious to see what BXS is like so these balls will get some testing 4 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to post

Middler 2,470 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 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. 8 Quote Callaway Rogue 10.5° & 3W Mizuno CLK 3H 19°, JPX900 Forged 4-GW, S18 56.10, S18 60.06 Evnroll ER5B (replaced ER2) Snell MTB-Black Ping Pioneer - MGI Zip Navigator AT Link to post

DiscipleofPenick 2,217 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Bridgestone Tour B X here! One of the calls I'm gonna try out. When it was still the B330 I did a live Bridgestone ball fitting and that's what their guy told me to play.

aerospace_ray 756 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Tournaments I plan to game ProV1x or Snell MTBx....And since I always get curious after reading ball reviews its a solid bet I will buy many brands to test. I say every year I won't but I do :) .Sent from my SM-N960U using MyGolfSpy mobile app 4 Quote Link to post

Pandaman 155 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 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. 1 Quote Link to post

Shankster 26,386 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Going to put the TP5 and the new V1 to test. Like @cnosil I play the AVX and love it... but I am not sure it is the best ball for my short game. 2 Quote Link to post
BKordon 136 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I will be playing the Titleist Pro V1 and only the Pro V1. I've put the Pro V1x through the paces, as well as the Bridgestone Tour BX and found them to be too clicky.

greggarner 609 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 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.
