BigMacQue Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I'm moving to the Pro V1 this year. I've been playing Maxfli SoftFli's long enough .... I've compared the two of them on the course and I believe I will get a better game out of the Pro V1.

mpgolf18 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I do not bounce around between golf balls. I have friends who play whatever is in their bag or what they find on the course. I had been playing Taylormade Tour Response, however, last year I went for an iron fitting. The instructor had me hit Pro V1s. He said that it was his ball of choice for fittings. When the fitting was complete he told me to use Pro V1s since the irons/specs were formulated based on how they performed with that ball. When I told him I did not believe my game was good enough to spend the money on Pro Vs, he made a good point. First he asked if I lose a lot of balls. I replied that I don't. I hit the ball pretty straight and it's rare if I lose one. He then pointed out that there was only about a $12.00 difference between a dozen Tour Response and the Pro Vs. Since I generally don't lose balls he asked why was I spending money on a fitting and great clubs (I got Callaway Paradym X irons), but wanted to pinch pennies when it came to my choice of golf balls. I couldn't really argue with that logic. So I went with the Pro V1s. They performed great, as expected. I was able to achieve better spin around the greens. However, I can't say that there was a massive difference from the Tour Response balls. Both are very similar and excellent balls. This year I will stick with the ProV1s, mainly because I like the way they feel off the clubs.

Made the switch in December, it matched/beat the Srixon across the board. You should check them out. Find my review here I enjoyed your review. Looking on their site I see they are high 80's in compression like the Prov1. I switched away from the ProV1 as I need more spin and tend to get fliers with the lower compression balls or I would give these a try.

Michael.Sandoval33 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Going to try and find the right ball for me this year, as I don't think I have come very close so far. Going to try out the Odin X (a little less compression than the X1 but not too much like the Soft offerings). I also have the Maxfli Tour X's on my mind and the Taylormade Tour Response balls. Should be a fun year as I grow in every aspect.

Baggymon Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I was able to have a bake off last year. While they were aerating the greens at my home course, I was on the 4th hole with a 8 dozen balls and my launch monitor. I made up the list of 8 balls from the MGS ball test. After reviewing the data I took 3 out to the course and played several rounds. This year’s new ball is the Srixon Q Star Tour.

OldSchoolFlusher Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Just been through a ball fitting with Titleist and therefore moving to Pro v1 this year. Had been using TM TP5 but having tried the ProV1 and compared (on an indoor TrackMan) seems to be more beneficial to my game and better flight control… I guess we’ll see in due course.

GolfSpy_BEN Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The Odin X1 is legit and I will play it until the dozen I have is used up. After that, I have ProV1x’s that were received at Christmas. At some point, I’ll try Chrome Tour and the latest TP5 ball because, for me, the differences in most of these premium balls are nominal and variety is the spice of life.

climberboy2000 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I alternate between the ProV1x and the Sugar Pure ball. I started using the Sugar balls last year and I think they perform just as well as the ProV1x. I hit my longest drive of the year with one. I've given them to many of my buddies to try out and the feedback has all been good. So, as the picture shows below, I stocked up...ok so I don't lose that many balls...they are mostly for a charity tournament I put on each year. They come in a 27 pack and are almost half the price of ProV1's. I know MyGolfSpy didn't rate the original Sugar balls very highly, but I think they made some good improvements on the Sugar Pure balls. Would love to see how the Pure would do in this year's ball comparison. William P, Michael.Sandoval33 and CrazyGolfNut 3 Quote Live Life...oh and golf a lot!

EFConn Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Last fall, I was able to grab 3 dozen LA Golf Balls for $149 from Carl's Golfland , so I thought I would give them a shot. Will mix in some left over Pro V1x Left Dash to go along with Maxfli Tour X and Vice Pro S yellow balls as well. When I play alone, I either play 2 balls and play the "worst ball" or sometimes I play white versus yellow balls so they can trash talk against each other.

Cshane12 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 This year I’m going back to last year. What? Well early last year I bought a sample pack of Snell Prime and Prime-X. I really liked the Prime but ultimately moved to something else for good price and availability. I wasn’t sure Snell would remain available. Well I found the Snell website having an awesome sale and bought a 5 dozen pack of the Prime for $125 out the door. I’ll be with those until they’re about gone. I do appreciate Titleist dropping the AVX price a whole $5, but for me it’s just not quite enough in these times.

Beakbryce Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 To early to decide for the whole year. My favorite ball is the Pro V1x and I still have a sleeve that I used for the Mizuno long game test. Not sure why I threw them back in the sleeve but am waiting for a situation for them to speak to me to play them. Found and used this year and in the shoebox for next year: Pro V1 and V1x, Chrome soft X LS (used for the last 5 rounds and I like it), AVX, BR XS, Vice Pro plus. Looking for Odin, Maxfli, couple others mentioned here. They don't seem to be getting lost where I can find them!

Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) I am under the mindset that I will play the Bridgestone XS likely this season, just to give it a go.

Lothar of the Hill People Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Maxfli Tour X, if the temperature is below 60 degrees, if over 60 degrees ProV1. I play in the PNW, so the cold, wind, and wet has an effect. I can compress the Maxfli in the winter with the result being very similar playing characteristics as the ProV1, whereas I can't get the pop off the ProV1 in the winter.

Jonesie Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I usually play the Titleist Tour Speed at my course since there is water on 15/18 holes. That way I don't have to cry when I "donate" a few. I've been working on a simulator quite a bit this winter and am impressed with the results I'm getting using the TP5 Pix ball. I may pick up a few dozen to test myself this spring.

Leif J Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I’ve been playing Vice pro soft since the summer here in Washington . Wanted to try the Vice pro plus to see the yardage difference, if any, when I recently went on a golf trip down to Arizona. I was striking pretty well and pleased overall with the Plus’s performance. However once I got back to colder temperatures and lower elevation I switched back to the Vice soft. Will probably game the softs until it warms up. Overall I have been very pleased with Vice. Check them out if you are looking for quality at a slightly less price than the big boys. Full disclaimer I chose Vice over other DTC brands due to the colors. Shame me if you want but I have trouble seeing and finding white balls with my crappy eyesight. I can’t justify paying $45+ for balls with my play just yet. Plus many of the courses I play can gobble up balls in a hurry. Sticking with one ball definitely helps with confidence in yardage.
