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 82 (22 Jul 25) - played our church men’s group captains choice nine hole this evening.  Had a blast working green side shots with the wedges.  Love the format as I play a nine club bag which brings on shot creativity in a fun way.

      Saevel25’s Bandon Dunes 2025 Trip

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Finished Bandon Trail today. Man what a course. Big upgrade over Sheep Ranch. I am giving Sheep Ranch a  7/10. Mostly views, course was good, and fun.  I am giving Bandon Trails 8.25/10. It's up there with Sand Valley in my opinion. Much more demanding of the course. With the wind it just gets brutal.  The first two holes are fully exposed to the wind, since they sit on the western edge of the course, open to the pacific. Even though it is tree lined, the wind has a big impact as it rolls over the hills and dunes. You can be surrounded by trees and feel the 20 mph wind at the tee box or fairway. I recommend using the yardage book, as it contains the course layout with a compass rose showing the prevailing wind (almost always from the north in the summer). It's easier to judge which direction the wind is going.  I played halfway decent. I hate when the shank gets loaded into the gun. Short game is on point, putting is good. I just need to make better swigs. My shot is definitely not built for wind. 😭 Here are some photos...

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      Would he not be entitled to unplayable relief and a one stroke penalty? And wouldn't the drop for unplayable plausibly be the same as the one he took?  That he cited the wrong rule and no penalty makes this a two stroke penalty instead of one? I'm assuming I'm wrong and there is a rule that prevents the player from reinterpreting his actions afterwards?  Regarding rule 14.7 - wrong place - and the general penalty. In this case, he gained a significant advantage by having an unimpeded swing? Shouldn't the penalty be for a "serious breach"? DQ?
