Urethane Cover Balls (Non Pro V)

[MrSandman]

Besides the Pro V, what are some Urethane Cover balls that people like?

I'm a big fan of the Taylor Made (TP Ball). I find them to be a little longer than the Pro V, soft around the green, and they hold up well.

Not as big a fan of the Callaway HX Tour. For some reason I found them to be a bit inconsistent. Probably just mental on my part, but I have played a dozen of them and that was my impression. Still have a couple dozen left of these though, and I was growing to like them more by the end of the other box.

I ordered the Bridgestone B330, excited to play those.

Not much experience with the Srixon or Nike Balls.

The bridgestone balls are very nice from what ive heard. I have yet to play with a brand new one, though. Longer than a prov1 with simliar spin.

The Nike ones spin like crazy around the green, but I have found recently that they lose a lot of distance compared to other balls.

I played the B330-S last season and I really liked it but it had one downside compared to the Pro V...durability. You can knock a Pro V off the cart path or a tree limb and it keeps on ticking. One shot off the path with the B330-S and I usually retired it. Heck, there were even a couple of times I hit a wedge where I really pinched the ball and I ended up getting a tiny cut or two in the cover.

That's why I like the Titleist balls. They are durable without sacrificing the soft feel. I had similar durability issues with some of the high end Callaway balls.

I'm seriously thinking about picking up a sleeve of Top-Flite Gamers just to see how they are. I usually play a Pro V or the NXT Tour so playing a Top-Flite almost seems tabu now, but I've heard good things and they did make Golf Digest's Hot List as a gold medal. I love the Pro V but I hate the price tag.

I stopped using the Pro V1 after I did a ball fitting. I was getting more distance and only slightly less spin with the wedge shots using Callaway Tour IX balls. I have since bought a couple dozen of these and really like them more than the Titleist I have played for years.

The only thing I don't really like is how it feels off the putter. Although the urethane feels stickier than the Pro V, it tends to click more off the putter face. Overall, though, these are great balls. Can't wait to try the Tour I balls when they come out.
