I have been playing seriously for 4 months now. I was taught the game at an early age and played sporadically throughout my life. I played baseball 12 months out of the year until I went to school last fall to play and sustained a career ending injury.

Anyways - I have made some improvements and dropped from the 20 (during my baseball career) to around a 6 now.

I have a SS around 105-110 with my driver and 95 with a 6 iron. I always thought I needed a higher ball speed, lower spin ball. I have been playing the Tour IX, Pro V1X, and TP Black. But recently I played my best two 9's with a Pro V1, 35 (-1) and 36 (E). I consider myself a good ball striker - I tend to put myself into trouble off the tee which keeps me from being a more consistent scorer.

So are the higher spin balls better suited for my game? If so, what are some of your favorites comparable to the Pro V1?

If you have a good swing speed and want to match up to the pro v1 id go with the Bridgestone 330 or the 330s.

    • I was on Golf Digest's Golf IQ podcast with Sam Weinman talking about being a "golf dad." https://www.golfdigest.com/story/5-golf-dads-advice I followed: Ian Poulter Mike Thomas Johnson Wagner Kevin Van Valkenburg Apparently the series was only five parts long, as they wrote up a summary article on it.   Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor Podcast Episode · Golf IQ · March 2 · 35m Golf Dad Part 5: Erik Barzeski on how to switch between father and instructor — Golf IQ Erik Barzeski, Director of Instruction at Golf Evolution, is the father of a golf pro and an author, but also has the perspective of someone who works with juniors.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.  
    • Distances look fine, no?
    • Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
