I am now having to buy new balls, as i have lost all of mine. I usually try to play Pro V1x's but sont really think they suit my game, i am a longish hitter, but my weakness is around the greens, i think i have narrowed it down to,

More Pro V1x's
Hogan Tour Deep
Srixon Z-UR
Nike One's of some sort.

As long as you don't mind the distance loss that comes with the nike one platinums, and it is pronounced, then they are an incredible ball around the greens. The distance loss was just too great for me to handle.
In the blue and tan grom Bag:

Driver r7 460 10.5*
Fairway Woods '07 Burner 15* and 18*
Irons 4-PW r7 XDWedges 47*, 52*, 58* CG14,Putter TiffanyBall One Tour D

I have heard that the Tour Deep's are very similar if not exactly the same as the HX Tour's. I am going to purchase some Hogan Tour Deep's and see if they suit my style of play. At $25 you can't go wrong.

I going to give some ambiguous advice about balls because to me what ball you play is dictated by what you want the ball to do for you that your current ball isn't doing.

No matter what the ball does, how it is off the tee or how much spin it has around the greens, if you play with it long enough your game will adjust to what the ball does. It has to or else your scores will be aweful. The ball can not adjust to your game, the ball is one of the few constants in the game.

So with that said, if your touch around the green is lacking, the ball isn't going to make any difference unless you want the new ball to do something your current ball isn't doing.

Have you tried using different clubs to make the ball do what you want around the greens? Going from one highend ball to another isn't going to make a huge difference, not like going from a low spin ball to a highend ball.

that's such great advice. well put. and for the new nike one platinum series...you don't lose as much distance as before...the balls are incredible.. the nike one blacks keep you around the same distance but with less spin and feel..but they're still incredi ball. (ok corny).

Check out the Bridgestones e5, or e6, I love the way the e5 work, nice distance and feel, and they bite good off my wedges, and the price is half of the Pro V's (which I used to play)

The Pro V and Nike are overrated. Out of the balls you listed I recommend going with the Srixon.

In my bag:

Driver: Burner TP 8.5*
Fairway metals/woods: Burner TP 13* Tour Spoon, and Burner TP 17.5*
Irons: RAC MB TP Wedges: RAC TPPutter: Spider Ball: (varies ) (Most of the time): TP Red or HX Tour/56---------------------------------------------------

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
