Even being a high handicap, with my average pitching wedge ive spun the ball back 10+ feet with a pro v1, slightly downhill though but when it bounces and the spin kicks in its so good. I wonder what would happen if I started using £70 wedges and hit like a pro (although my pitching wedge shots go really far, quite high up in the air with good spin, very accurate also)!!

a good way to test this yourself is to go to your club and use there chipping green, use a wedge and hit low chip shots from about 30 yards and try to stop the ball, you will see a difference from ball to ball, throw in a top flight and it will help you see what not to hit :)

Good advice, different stroke for different folks. What works for me might not works for you.

I cycle from Nike Ignite, Pro V1, Nike One. I prefer the Ignite. It is a 3 piece ball. I seem to get the most distance off the tee and around the green it stops just like a Pro V in my opinion.

Well guys, what are your opinions. I am wondering what is the softest ball that will provide the most spin around the greens? Please suggest from balls that are still being produced.

Its funny you mention this. I had 2 new Pro V's and 2 new One Platinum's (ffrom TGW promo)in my bag on saturday.

I decided to switch to the One Platinums because the pro vs were quite cut-up and im a bit anal about cut-up balls. To my amazement, the Platinums spun a lot more!

4 dozen balls just arrived to my house today. 2 dozen ProV1X / 1 dozen Bridgestone e5 / 1 dozen Nike One Platinum. Can't wait to test the Nike and Bridgestone. The e5 feels suprisingly soft and as long is doesn't cut up too quick might be a permanent replacement for the ProV in my bag. Goooo Awaayyy Snow!!!! Goooooo!!

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
