unccross Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I’m a high handicap player who just started playing back in the fall after about a 12 year break. Right now 21 handicap. I have always bought used prov’s off local sellers but received a box of yellow pro v1x for Christmas and have been using them since. When I m swinging good for me, I really like them. I was not yesterday and hit a few dying fades on my driver and long irons . My dad told me that I shouldn’t be using the x due to so much spin. My driver speed is 106-110 mph. Thought about trying left dash or some other lower spinning ball. Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks!

Kevlar217 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I’ve been playing Vice golf balls for a while now. Good value ball that seems to be really good for my swing. If I can’t get the vice for whatever reason I was hitting tp5x’s. Last week I had a golf ball fitting and was amazed that the regular tp5 gave me more ball speed, better flight and felt amazing. So I grabbed a couple packs. I will say I wasn’t able to test the new callaway tours or maxfli balls. unccross 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get out all over the area though. I like to play new courses so if I have to drive a bit, it’s not an issue. What’s your favorite course in the area?

If money is no object, ProV1x Left Dash and AVX are two low-spinning options that might work well. But as others mentioned, the Maxfli Tour series is amazing for the price as well.

Nickb155 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I was in a similar boat and have a similar speed Used to play ProV1x, switched to Snell MTB-X then they got discontinued and I ended up with Chromesoft X LS and now have those and Chrome Tour - Both were better for me than the Prov1x and.i like the feel of a "grippy clicky ball" if that makes sense Prov1 feels to smooshy when it gets above 80 degrees but I like that in the cold unccross 1 Quote Tournament Bag, Speedline Super S 8.5T - Aldila NV 65s Super S 3 wood - Kuro Kage 70s Adams A Tour Black - S300hs Fourteen RM4 52/56 - S400 RTX Zipcore 60 Low - S400 YES!

If you've got some basic stats about your game, the Ballnamic fitting tool is worth the money and they're constantly updating with the latest releases. I swapped pretty seamlessly last year between Left Dash and Chromesoft X LS with the XLS being a bit higher spin than LD. The new Chrome Tour might just be my gamer for this year, though. Lovely flat flight, lower spin than XLS off the tee (the ball it's replacing), and much higher greenside control than Left Dash. For budget purposes though, I can also game the Maxfli Tour S pretty easily. It's squishy, but plenty of distance still. unccross and cnosil 2 Quote Driver: ZX5 LS MkII 9.5* (@ 9.0*) with 46.5" Ventus Blue 6X 3-wood: SIM 15* with Diamana Limited 75S 5-wood: RADspeed 18.5* with Motore X F3 60S 2i: ZX with SteelFiber i95 Stiff 4hy: TS3 23* with Tensei AV Blue 70 S 4i-7i ZX7, 8i-PW Z-Forged, Modus3 Tour 120 S 50*, 55* RTX 6 Modus3 Tour 125 60* RTX Full Face ZipCore DG Spinner S400 Putter: Toulon Chicago with a Quad Tour or HB SOFT Milled 10.5S with UST All-in Ball: Chrome Tour (but I might still have some Left Dashes hanging around) Bag: Ltd Edition Tartan, blue/green/yellow Using to keep track of my shots Tested: D7 Forged 3i-PW, KBS Tour-V 110S - Official Review Blind Ball Test (Ball #3 vs Ball #4) - Unofficial Review V3 GPS Watch + Tags - Official Review Vero X2 - Official Review The Stack System - Official Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
