I had a lesson this past weekend. We spoke at the end of the lesson about golf ball recommendations. He recommended the NXT and said stay away from the SoLo. A question for those who know the similarities of balls from different companies: What would be the equivalent model of golf balls from Bridgestone, Nike, Srixon, etc? I have some Bridgestone E6 and Srixon AD 333 left over from last season and I am wondering how they compare.

His recommendation was a harder golf ball with deeper dimples.

I know the Lady and other low compression balls would fall out of my recommendations.

Also, I was thinking of trying the Nike Ones that are discounted now. Should I go with the Black or Platinum or just listen to the guy and get the NXT?

Thanks!

Well it depends. Did you get advice from a guy who was recording things on a launch monitor? Or is it just a club pro or whoever that was giving you some lessons by just watching you swing?

Launch monitor- do what the guy tells you for best results.
Every day lesson- play the ball that feels comfortable for you and does what you need it to do.

The Nike One is a soft golf ball that produces lots of spin. Sounds like your teacher wants you using the opposite of that.

i think he is suggesting a harder more all'round ball perhaps due to the fact that he has studied your swing.

I agree, NIKE balls are super soft.

I like the NXT the best--The ditance is unparalleled. They are hard though. But if you get a pro-v1 they are really soft and scuff easily but are the best for short game---Pro-V1s are not a distance ball

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

In general, deeper dimples will produce a lower ball flight, shallower dimples a higher ball flight.

It was a lesson with the club pro. Just watching me swing and working on that aspect. I tend to bargain hunt for golf balls, so I was wondering what other golf balls are considered in the same "group" as the NXT. Not that $30 is a killer, but if I see another brand on sale I wanted to be sure it was compatable.

Bridgestone E-5+ is a two piece with a relatively soft cover, E-6 3 piece with a slightly harder cover, won't spin as much, doesn't go quite as high, a little longer. The E-5+ is a better ball around the green even though a two piece because of the urethane cover Ifeel.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
