I used the NXT's for a while before playing the AD333's and changed straight away, I do prefer the srixon's hands down but am partial to likeing the softness of the Pro V1's, I might try the Trispeeds or event splash out on some penta's to try the higher end ball but at my handicap I wouldnt even notice the dif! :)

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. "Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

To be fair, there probably isn't a bad ball out there, but there sure are a lot of people who think product x is crap while product y is superior to all others.



Im going to have to disagree, sorry. There is a definite difference in golf ball production, especially between the higher end and medium range balls. Materials used, cores used, etc…

I hate the "handicap" excuse. People use it a little too much like a crutch. Give yourself some credit. Anyone who plays golf consistently should be able to "feel" the difference in most medium to premium golf balls. IF and when you can hit the ball in the same spot of the club face consistently you should definitely be able to "feel" the differences in certain balls.

In my Ogio bag.

Titleist 910D2 driver, Adams irons & hybrid, Callaway wedges & a Nike Method putter.

And a yellow ball.

I can feel the differences but all I am saying is at my handicap there is not a lot of change to the way I play at this time, thats not an excuse :)

I played a round or two with the Srixon Z Star Tour last year and was pleased with the results.  The ball is soft and durable.  I picked up a box of the Z Star Tour Yellow balls over the winter and am looking forward to trying them out next month.  Hopefully I play well -- I feel like if you are playing golf with a yellow golf ball, you better be good!

Do only certain stores carry Srixon clubs and other gear? I see the golf ball line in stores but I have never seen a club in a Golfsmith, Dicks, Sports Authority or when I was at Martins PGA Superstore in SC.

I have seen Srixon irons and woods offered in the area, but I can't remember where. Wish you had asked a week ago when I was headed to the Golf Expo. I could have looked for them, and asked vendors if the handled Srixon clubs.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I probably should have also asked if anyone uses Srixon irons, woods, or hybrids. Or do you know anyone who does? And of course how do you like them? Or not like them

    • Day 299: played 18. Hit the ball well, but did not score well. I think I ended up +10, with half of that coming on 2 holes. 
    • Day 549, May 4, 2024 After lessons and working with Natalie, hit some balls for awhile. Just backswing stuff. Forgot about the slightly shorter stuff, though I'm sure it was as they were only about 75% speed with brief pauses.
    • Not a coach, but this looks pretty solid to me! PGA TOUR (@pgatour) • Instagram reel 30K likes, 63 comments - pgatour on May 4, 2024: "Come for 16-year-old @kris.kim59’s near ace … Stay...  
    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.
