I love my IX-tour balls, but I would like something I can draw/fade more, without worrying about excess spin turning the shot into a hook/slice/20+ yard backspin shot. I already have a mid/high launch, mid/high spin ball flight btw. Any suggestions?

In my stand bag:
909D3 with 10.5 degrees of loft and a 45 inch Fujikura Rombax 6Z08, x-flex
909F3 15* with a stock Diamana Blue
FT 18* with an Aldila NV
X-forged ('07), 3-PW with Project X 6.0 CG12, 53/11, and 58* with DSG Red X2, 33"All with Lamkin Crossline Full Cord. (except the putter of...

Maybe try the TM Red TP...

I'm guessing you have tried to ProV1/x, correct?

try the pro v1x, its known for its low spin compared to the rest of the golf balls out there. Also maybe give the Maxfli Noodle a try. I have used a few of them lately and have noticed a little bit less side spin when hit with a driver but just enough spin when i would hit it with an iron or wedge.

Take a look at the TP Black from Taylormade or the Top Flight Gamer. The gamer, IMO, is a very underrated ball. FWIW, I believe Golf Digest rated it as the best overall ball in golf when you combine playability and price.

I picked up a dozen Gamer's based on the Golf Digest review and I found that the cover scuffs like crazy. After 3 holes (no cart paths or trees) the thing was tore up and ready for the shag bag. I won't be buying them again.

Bridgestone E6+ and E7+ would be outstanding balls for you to demo. Try a sleeve or two of each and see what you think.


Good luck.

I had the same issue with the Gamer. I am currently playing the Precept U Tri Tour and like it.

I just tried some on sale balls.. Wilson Rip Spin for $12 for twenty of them I figured what the heck. I was pretty happy with them decent distance off the driver and pretty good spin with the irons. I can't spin any ball backwards (yet) but they provided pretty good check on the greens and putted well (pretty soft off the putter face).

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂
