equipment advice?

[nsorensen124]

Ok, so ive played for several years, but not too often during the season. I can drive about 200 yds but I want to be able to get my balls to stick on the green instead of bouncing or rolling right off. What kind of balls should I use? Id appreaciate the input.

Can you be more specific as to what kind of shots aren't sticking to the green? Is it happening with longer irons and woods, or with shorter irons and wedges too? Also, what kind of clubs are you using, how old are they, and how sharp are the grooves?

[nsorensen124]

I use Tour Collection Series clubs, there not Adams, but they play pretty well. Most of my shots, long and short, but usually the 40-80 yd. shots don't stick. They seem to be too low and fast, but if i use a lower club with more of an angle, I put my shot 20 yrds. short of the green.

Without seeing your swing, it is hard to guess. But it seems to me that if you can stop the ball to stick from 40-80 yards out, I don't think it is the equipment or th ball issues as much as your swing. Seems like you are hitting it too low if you can't get the ball to stop from 40-80 yrs out.

Yeah if you hit it low it won't stick.

When you start to hit the ball further it'll stop.

Or you could buy a vokey spin milled wedge like I did, the ball will always stick

You need to be sure you are itting the ball first, ground second. Pintching the ball between the turf and the club will give you lots of spin in many shots. Be sure you are making contact with some sort of forward press. Your best course of action may be to find a PGA teaching pro in your area and let him/her see what you presently doing swing wise. For you I would say that ball type is not as much of a issue as how you are swinging the clubs.
I use a fairly solf ball and give up a little distance off the tee but get tons of spin off of my wedges and short irons. I would seek from professional help though first off.
