play a ball other than a urethane covered ball(Prov 1's, HX Tour I, etc....), which ball would you play?

Any of you folks have any experience with a ball that checks up on the green nicely while keeping spin off the tee at a minimum?

Thank you in advance for your recommendations.

Bridgestone E6 is a nice ball for the price.

Totally agreed. Played them today, and on moderately soft greens, my ball only rolled a foot past my ball mark. Not bad at all. I mean with Prov1's its usually right next to it or in front of it, but the E6+ really gives ample spin which is plenty for me. Also, they are nice and soft and have a great putting alignment.

I like the e6s too but the e5 will spin better on short iron shots...

Precept Laddie-X. Honestly, I get plenty of spin with any of the rock-hard, inexpensive distance balls (Titleist DT Carry, Cougar Titanium Distance, Precept Laddie-X, Precept XP3).
My ball always stops within 5' of my ball mark, even when Im hitting my lower-spin 200-Series Vokeys, which is pretty decent for a 34 handicapper.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

Anyone here ever use the Volvik crystal balls? Very soft feel. Maxfli Noodle Ice is pretty much the same thing... Interesting golf balls.

      RTJ Trail Itinerary (5 Days From ATL) — Thoughts?

      By conneronner · Posted

      Flying into ATL on Sept 11 (Thu), early, leaving Sept 15 (Mon), late. Dates are fixed. Trying to hit the best RTJ Trail stops without spending half the trip in the car.   Plan: Thu: Grand National (Lake or Links) Fri: GN AM, then drive to Capitol Hill, play Senator Sat: Capitol Hill – Judge Sun: Ross Bridge Mon: Oxmoor Ridge early, drive to ATL   Thinking about squeezing in Cambrian Ridge after Capitol Hill—worth it or too much? Would love any feedback or tips from those who’ve done it.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 73 (13 Jul 25) (note: forgot to post the "day" for the past few days, up to day 73) - Easy day in the backyard, with time on the 50deg wedge and the mat (simulating tight lies around the green) working on low spinners.  Love using this mat as it is small and portable but also lends to being a type of alignment rod to get a proper setup.  Finished up with a few swings with the 54.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Played several holes today with my Buddy's left haded clubs.  I was going to order just woods, but after playing again today and hitting the irons well, I will be ordering a complet set of Left handed Clubs.    They are Callaway Edge, Regular flex.  I am excited !  Will let you know after I try them and let you know how well they performed.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      Pitching

      Depends in part on what lie the greens crew left me. If it's first cut of rough or fairway and clear shot to cup, it's an 8i chip and run. If it's shaggy, or I have to go over ridge or bunker, it's a cut shot with a 58* LW.
