Callaway tour IX, it's the greatest ball ever made. And with ebay, there's never a reason to pay full price.

Srixon Z Star............ Played Titleist for the past 10 years, but Srixon has come up w/ "a better mouse trap." For me, the Star Z seems more resistant to the effects of wind shear; is a touch longer; the cover is more durable; and has not shown any down side, when compared to the ProV lines. JMO, but a solid performance ball.

I play the Burner TP LDP and I'm really happy with it. Off all the clubs it feels fantastic. Especially off the driver.... I get this really sweet feeling on pure drives that I don't get with other balls.

I play it because for price vs. playability I don't think it can be beat. I bought 12 dozen during a sale for ~$12per dozen at GPP golf.

Also I play the older Nike Mojos for money reasons. On bad days I don't want to lose my Burner TPs so I bought 4 dozen Mojo's on sale for $5 per dozen. It's not bad, I'd say a step up from other cheap topflights.

When it's all said and done, the Burner TP is my favorite ball of all I've tried. I wish it had more spin like a v1 or v1x around the greenside chips. I always wonder if the TP red/black would be the ball for me. But I haven't tried those yet.

Oooo.... also used to play the Nike SFT2 previously and it felt good and went far! But didn't have any greenside chip spin..... then again, I also didn't have my new wedge.

^^Agreed. I also play Warbirds because of the softness and feel. I seem to play a lot better if I play those.

i use nike powersoft (the green box). i get a respectable amount of distance out of them, i really like the feel of the ball, and they're not terribly expensive ($15-18 for a dozen).

last year I switched from Nike One Black to
Prov 1x. I gained 10 yards on the drive... and about 5 yards on irons.
my control was SO much better & the ball did what it was designed to do:
GO IN THE HOLE.

This year, I'm gonna try
the new Prov1 and Prov1x
Bridgestone B330
and someone told me the new Srixon Z & TM TP Red are supposed to be pretty damn good. so I'll try those.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
