Wilson 50 50 golf ball

[golftrainer]

Anybody play the Wilson 50 50 golf ball?

I just had a very knowledgeable friend tell me that since I want lower spin rates, I should play this ball.

The guy who tested me of course told me I should play the Pro V1x.

Well, the Wilson ball goes for $17 a dozen, and we know what the Pro V1x's are !

I would like to learn more about the Wilson ball.

Great ball. I play it particularly in the spring and fall. Soft feel. I also like the Wilson Zip. Don't think you can go wrong with either of these balls.

What amazes me is I thought playing the Pro V1 was it! But then a very knowledgeable guy tells me for low spin, etc. to play the Wilson ball which is significantly less in cost. Something doesn't seem right here, but I am going to go down and get some of them and try them.

It's unlikely it's going to be a better ball for you. You'll likely lose distance as well as feel and spin around the greens. You'll probably also spin the ball way too much on full swings.

As fast as you likely swing, I doubt a super-low-compression type golf ball is a good fit for you at all. If you want a cheaper ball, the NXT Tour or something might be a good step. It's at least built for people who swing their drivers faster than 80 MPH or whatever the Wilson's good for.
