Is there a high end ball that will deliver a high launch angle off the driver and have feel and spin around the greens? Not sure if this is even possible

Posted
This has more to do with your swing and how your ball striking is, every ball launches high for me and every ball in a dozen that costs over $30 dollars will be good around the greens. Personally I stick with Nike One Vapors or One Blacks if I find em.

Posted
if you dont care about price go with prov1's or prov1x's but if your looking for a bargain and a great ball the nxt and nxt tour balls are wonderful

Balls with fewer dimples will have a higher launch. More dimples gives you a lower launch. Check out lostgolfballs.com it gives specs on nearly every ball made.

I switched from the Pro V1's to Srixon and the launch angle changed immediately, couldn't believe the difference... the trispeeds are on a great sale at GG currently, they don't spin like a Pro V1 though. I will easily change a 15 yard check for a 10 yard check with the Srixon, With the extra cash my wife doesn't complain either!

I would try Pro V1's is you don't care about cost. (Not Pro V1x unless YOU swing the club 115MPH +.... That just opinion)
I would also the the Nike tour. (I think thats what they are called)

Well if you strike the ball well most golf balls will stop after 3-5 feet.

NXT's give good distance and still give spin.

With swingspeeds under 100mph the bridgestone 330 rx pretty darn good.

Taylor Made is coming out with a 5 layer ball that's supposed to do it all. Its called the Penta TP $$$$$$. Good Luck

The titleist DT carry launchs high and is not to bad around the greens.

It seems like you want high launch and high spin? Some of the older Taylor Made TP's did that (the non-LDP version) I believe, but nothing that I know of currently.

or you could just use the HAMMER driver like in bruce's swing and don't even bother with spin as you'll hit every green off the tee POW!

I agree.
