Ball Durability for a hard hitter

[blu320]

Can anyone recommend a ball for me? I "smear" HX Tours and ProV1s every time I hit them (esp wedge and driver) and it becomes costly to keep buying them.

Im not concerned with a distance ball, but I do like them to be soft around the greens with a good click off the club face. Im thinking of using the NXT Tours. I've had had success with the DT Solos. Ive actually just been using random "bag" balls for my drive so as to not ruin my balls. Suggestions?

I down graded jobs and cant afford to be replacing HX and ProV's every hole or so.

What are you hitting your balls with.... a brick?

I have never heard such a thing...with a driver?

Haha, no, not a brick. I have no idea why it happens. Ill crank one tonight and take a picture, but Ive always been able to do it. I show people and they cant believe it. Its like the cover gets smeared and I can see the fleshy color underneath.

My average drive is well above 300 (usually 320+) and the last time I had my swing speed checked it was at 119. I figured the tour players blast balls that hard, but I never see them replacing their balls due to "ball smear".

I dunno. Maybe Im somehow hitting them funny or something...just thought it was the ultra thin cover of these types of balls (oh, one thing to note is I didnt play last year due to injury, so maybe they are more durable now?)

Im at a loss....

That is fairly odd to be doing that with a driver. Only explanation I could think of would be that your just completing your downswing when you make contact and your not bottomed out yet, and the face is sliding down the length of the ball.

Not big on golf jargon so thats the best explanation I could think of.

I used to use Bridgestone e6's and didnt really have a problem with scuff marks for atleast a few holes. Wedges really muck up the ball cover. I would just stick away from high spin rate balls.
