What is a good soft feel ball with durability?

[Culchie]

I used to love the Titlelist DT Wound when I played alot. I prefer a soft feel ball for the short game, but haven't been able to find a mid priced ball out there that suits me yet. I'm just getting back into it after about 5 years off. Thanks.

try the prov1x it is 40$ new but what i do is buy it used in l)ike new condition which means that you cant tell the difference beetween it and a new ball) for 20$ a dozen they are the best balls ever

Take a look at the Precept Laddie Extreme. It's a good performing ball, putts true and does not scuff, easily. (At least that is my experience)

You might also like the Titleist DT Solo/Roll/Carry.

Try the Bridgestone e5+. It has some good spin for $24.99.

Another vote from me for that one.

And me! My ball of choice!

A while back Golf Magazine published an article on golf balls and included a section that listed the apparent hardness/softness of covers. Below is a link to their apparent findings. I don't buy the results myself (I think the Nike balls are junk. Nike might have given someone at HotStix or Golf Magazine a little something to skew things in their favor). The chart they list on the link below does not include all balls (for example they listed the Taylormade TP Black but not the Red, and the Red has a softer cover than the Black. They don't list Callaway's HX Tour and 56 balls, and they also do not list balls that came out after the article was published). It is far from comprehensive, but you may find it slightly useful in comparing balls they listed.

I play the laddie/laddie extreme, and they are a very good ball. Not to mention you can usually get them for around $10 a dozen BRAND NEW (check out your local Wal-Mart and they are usually $19.99 for 2-dozen). Pretty durable, soft, and decent/good spin. You likely will not be disappointed with their performance.

IMO the best all-around ball in golf is the NXT Tour. Good feel. Good distance. Durable. Not expensive, not cheap.

It's gotta be a slightly used pro-v 1 for $15 a dozen at major retailers. Any one else just love the old titlest professionals? The were the king of getting cut up but maybe the softest ball out side the feathery and the gutta percha.

I actually like the Callaway Pearl. I know it's meant to be a "womans" ball but it actually is quite nice for a guy as well.

Those stats definitely have to be bogus, i can pretty much pick the skin of a pro v1 or hx tour 56 with my fingers, a one platinum on the other hand is MUCH harder!!

On topic however, another vote for the nxt tour!

[Wisco-Kid]

What about the Callaway HX Hot Bite? Anyone try these yet?

I'll be trying Titleist NXT Tour and Pinnacle Platinum Feel this season. But believe it or not, Top Flight D2 Feel is not bad, IMO - not your stereotypical Top Flight rock. And you can't beat the price.
