I am looking for a ball for an 85 mph ss. I tend to generate too much spin which generally ends up in a slice. New ball less than $20 please.

Srixon soft feel. Give it a try and then give a report.

Driver.... Nickent DX Evolver V2 65 stiff /07 Burner YS6+ stiff .
4 wood..... Nickent 4DX
Hybrids.....Tour Edge Geomax 22* 25* 28*
Irons.....TM R7 6-P + AW,SW,LW
Putter.....Odyssey White Hot XG 2 BallBag.......Callaway ORG 14 A.L.I.C.E. Ball........Bridgestone e6 / Srixon Soft Feel...


I agree with the Srixon Soft Feel. I have a driver SS that ranges between 85 and 92, and it seems to be pretty good distance-wise.

It does have some good feel (at least as far as I can tell) around the greens.

I've also been playing with the Nike PD Soft and the Top Flite D2 Feel, and I like both of those too.

All three of those choices are under $20 brand new (TF are about $15 for 15 balls).

In my X-Series Bag:

Driver G10 10.5*
Woods V-Steel 3W, 5W
Hybrids Pinemeadow ZR1 19* 3HIrons MX-19 4-GWWedge MP-R Black Nickel 54/10Putter Rossa Sebring AGSI+

In my Xtreme Sport bag
'09 Burner 9.5*
F50 15* 3 Wood
Burner 18* 5 Wood
MX-19 4-GW SV Tour 54.12 & 58.08 White Hot 2-Ball SRT


Top flite D2 feel... Great ball and a great price!

In my Ogio Blade Stand Bag:

Depends on your feel, but I like a soft ball, just about any Noodle will work in this case...lately I have found that I've been playing Callaway, it's a little firmer and has a better feel on the putter.

callaway tour i or ix i prolly wont go back to pro v's

You're a genius.

At that range I am a fan of the Noodles. The only thing that bothers me about them is that there is no alignment aid stamped on them. This is an absolute must if I am going to putt in the neighborhood of 30.

Ben Hogan is my swing coach.

Check out the Bridgestone e6+, I like 'em a lot. Good prices at LostGolfBalls.com too.

Driver: Burner Draw, Regular Flex Shaft, 10.5*
Irons: i3

I quite like the Pinnacle Gold FX Soft...haven't tried the Srixon Soft Feel...although they will probably be the next box I buy...

im a genius that could smoke you on the course on a bad day.

buying $20 balls is a waste of time. you spend a lil more on balls that spin less off the driver thus keeping the ball in play more often than not and saving you money in the long run. suggestions even include going to www.lostgolfballs.com and buying the tourix at a fraction of the cost and killing two birds with one stone

with your swing speed and slice i'd say stick with a standard two piece medium compression....taylor made burners perhaps...top flight d2's would be just fine too.
