I bought a new G15 driver with a stiff shaft last Saturday.  Great club for most of the courses I play here, but the course I play on when I go home requires a higher ball flight.  I naturally hit the ball high, so it is good that it keeps it down, but I would like to have a ball in the bag that will get a higher trajectory with my new driver.

Anyone have any ball suggestions?  Swing speed is 110ish.  Thanks in advance.

Actually the E7 is designed for a lower, piercing trajectory.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

Bridgestone E5, Top-Flite Gamer V2, Srixon Z-Star or Bridgestone B330-S would be some good options.  Im partial to Bridgestones but they are all great balls.

And if you roll with the Z-star, go ahead and buy the yellow.  It's a fun change of pace.

What's in the Bag:
Driver: Taylormade SLDR 12*
3-wood: Taylormade Burner 15*
Hybrid: Taylormade Burner 19*

And it has the most durable cover of any tour level spin ball in history....

Really?  I hadn't heard or read that.  Cool if true.

If your swing speed is around 110 and that's your avg swing speed you can play any tour ball.  I like the Penta and Srixon, but the Bridgestone 330s and the 330RXS are nice.  If your lookiing for the cheaper end of quality, go for the topflight gamerV2.

Well, it's a bit of a personal opinion, but I did hear some players after the 2010 Masters Par 3 contest (where the ball made it's big debut) that the cover was fantastic and have heard similar from other players I know.  I have a sleeve and love them.

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.

      As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
