It's only usable when ordering online from Golfsmith, so lessons are out of the question.

So anyway, I'm buying balls. Not ProV1s, nor One Tours, more like Bridgestone Treosofts, or Juices, or dare I say, TopFlite Gamers. So I'm looking for some ideas of a longer ball that still has some softness to it. Or even the other way around, a soft ball with some distance.

Vokey 54-10 Spin Milled Watson 08 60 Lob Wedge G5i Blade

I'm always getting 2 dozen, 1 of one kind, and 1 of another, so I'll be using two of these ideas.

I like the Nike Power Distance Softs..feel nice around the green and give you good distance as well.

I was actually asking you guys for ideas haha. I'm thinking maybe e6+ and TopFlite Gamers. Do those sound like two good options?

I've gotta be honest, the distance isn't as important as the softness, I'd rather hit 250 with a soft ball then hit 280 with a distance ball. I've used the Power Distance Softs, I liked them, but they didn't seem too "soft", they stuck a little, but not as much as I expected from a ball labeled soft.

go ahead and get you some of the pro V1's or tour i, they will hit farther than all of those anyways, and they will give you the spin you need.

In your shoes, that's what I would do right now.

You and me both. Although, right now, if I were offered 250 off the tee, at my current accuracy rate, I wouldn't care what ball it is

Yesterday I carried 280 off the tee with a found ProV1x, I don't want to spend $50 on just one dozen though. I'm still bad enough that I lose a ball occasionally.

You might consider the TP Red from Taylormade. Don't know if Golfsmith still has the 2 for $55 deal, but if they do it is a very good ball.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

If you like the Pro V, go with the Bridgestone e5+

Is the e5+ similar to the ProVs?

No, not at all. The e5+ is soft but would not compare to a Pro V in any way.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
