Have heard good reviews on this ball and was just wondering if anyone knows how they hold up against the modern grooved wedges? I use a CG 14 with zip grooves and am having a hard time finding a ball that feels soft but wont shredd. Thanks

I use the e6 and they sometimes last 36-54 holes before I decide to take them out. Then again, my clubs are a bit old, so I'll know in a few weeks how they last with my upcoming new irons and wedges.

I'll switch to the e6+ eventually, but at the moment, e6 is much cheaper and I don't see a significant enough improvement to toss out my e6s for e6+s. I'll be buying them before too long.

The e5+ has a urethane cover and the E6+ has the Shyrlin cover (spelling?)

I just picked up a 12 of the E6+ and I like them better then the D2 Feels I have been trying. I will try the E5+ next. I also found a Titleist DT Solo today and that felt great around the greens and putter.
Whats the difference between the e5+ and the e6+??

Also, the e6 is a lower spin ball than the e5.

Yeah. The cover on the e5 is softer. the e6 is more of a "game improvement" ball, while the e5 is more like an intermeadiate players ball. Sort of like the NXT tour. e5's dont quite have the greenside performance the NXT tour does, but they're damn close. Im seriously considering switching to the e5 very soon because of the better value.

Greenside performance? I completely disagree, I have found the e5+ to perform as good (if not better) then any other ball on the market.

Really? You think so? Ive found that the e5 tends to relaese more for me than the NXT tour does on half swings and under. Its takes only a minor adjustment in your landing zone. Ive only played 4 or 5 rounds with them but thats what ive seen. Which is good for bunker play (it probably is a better bunker ball) but i feel I have a little bit more control over an NXT than an e5. But like I said, they're damn close, but the nxt might just be a teeny bit better.

Played with one today. Absolutely nuking it (although I've been striking the ball better lately). With mid to long irons it didn't bite like the NXT Tours do for me. But with the wedge, 9 iron I spun them back alot. Not sure why. Feel was fairly soft. Definitely not hard. Probably for the money they're not bad. But I will have to stick with the NXT Tours when the game is on the line. Much more consistent for me. And maybe that's just because I've used them for a while and I know what to expect. I've been told that the e6+ is a slight upgrade from them. If that's the case, I'd probably use them.

They are great balls you cannot go wrong. Play an e6 for less spin, they will help you hit straighter drives. Play an e5 for more spin and control around the greens.

Sorry my comments are for the e6 and e5 I have yet to try the e5+ and e6+ but I am sure they are not that much different. So what are they going to call the balls next year? e5++ and e6++ or maybe e5 and e6 plus squared....

e5++ and e6++ would just be single increments on e5 and e6, respectively.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
