prov1 > Srixon ad333 > bridgestone b330s =D

Two different types of price levels there big guy...

...If you are going to compare the Pro-V1 to a Srixon ball, you have to compare it to the Z-Star not the ad333

I'll play a Z-Star or a Z-Star X over a ProV1 or V1x anyday. Feels better I think, and the durability is about the same, and better even with the Tour Yellows....don't ask me why. All in all a great golf ball maker and have definitely made a fan outta me.

Same here. The Z-Star is every bit as good as the ProV1 and is actually a little less expensive.

Pro V1 is more for spin, Pro V1x will give you a slight edge in distance off the tee. Basically trading a little distance for spin.

Is that the same difference as between the Z-Star and the Z-Star X?

This - love my Pro V1x. My buddy had some of those Yellow Srixons and gave me a sleeve and while I had no issue playing them, there is something about them I don't like. Whatever they use to seal the outer later of the ball gives if a "plastic" look where you can tell there is a layer there covering the urethane. Purely a cosmetic thing, but it "cheapens" the look of them to me.

I'd rather play a 3 stripe range ball than a Srixon, for that very reason, lol

not trying to be an arse, but you must finish the hole using the same ball you started with. You can only change your ball after the hole is finished!

It's all about personal preference. If you like Srixon, then play it! I myself like Bridgestone, so I play it!!

I have played the Trispeed Tour balls. They're good balls if you ask me. Very affordable, and great quality. I have since switched to the Bridgestone B330RX balls, because Bridgestone balls are the #1 balls in golf!!!

And for the record I DO NOT like Pro-V1's. Give me a Bridgestone, Srixon or even the new Taylormade Penta TP anyday over that thing.

Titleist didn't renew their contract with you this year, I guess.

People may have preferences in golf balls for whatever reasons, but I have never heard anyone say that ProV's are overrated.  Good troll, though.

The Golf industry has made huge strides in producing a medium golf ball imo. I mean It used to be hard to compare any of the premium balls to anything that wasn't. Obviously you'll always have those "crap" balls. Maxfli, cheap Nike's and Top Flights. Basically anything sold at Target or Walmart. Hahaha and if I were the guy losing 10 balls a round I would still play those "crappy" balls. Probably the Nike Mojo.

Honestly ProV1's are a very nicely made golf ball. I personally don't like them. They're just too soft for me. I would prefer a different kind of ball. the Srixon Z-star, to me, feels like it has a harder shell. Even though its made the same as the Titleist, it doesn't feel the same. Feels heavier to me as well. For a premium ball I really like the Tayormade Penta TP. Its a rocket off the face of the driver. The Bridgestone B330RX is what I play, but that's because its the best all around ball for me. The Srixon Tri-speed Tour was really nice, but the Bridgestone was just a bit better. I don't create "a lot" of spin, but just enough. Once I figure out the spin maybe ill go to a softer ball full time like the Penta TP ball.

Bridgestone is remarkable in the sense that they have revolutionized golf ball "fitting." Used to be once you stopped losing more than 3 balls a round you could consciously play a ProV1. Now, you've got to change them out even before you lose them because the grooves on the newer clubs just eat them up! I honestly go thru about 4 balls a round, and I only lose one maybe two off the tee. Haha, the others are so chewed up they don't putt straight. Ive found that when I find ProV1's and game them they are the worst in durability.

Troll huh? Never thought to ask why? Just assumed that because I didn't fit into the mold or was a Titleist lemming that my comments were too "out there" for you? Hahaha, some people...... Just follow the crowd...

I also hate Taylormade! Uh oh...... Now what will happen? Will the golf gods strike me dead with a rusty Ping putter? Hahaha

Seriously though, the Taylormade Penta TP is, I THINK , the best premium soft ball out on the market. I would put money on it against the ProV1. Is that crazy enough for you? Hahaha

No hard feelings, just seemed like an ignorant comment is all.

My son is not only a better golfer then I am as he is #2 on his high school varsity golf team but he is also a pro v ball snob. Since he relies on his sponsor to supply him with balls ( me ) I made him a bet he couldn't actually tell the difference in balls and that it was simply marketing that had him convinced of the superior performance of a particular ball. So we did a blind test. I teed up 5 different balls so he couldnt see the brand and told him I would buy him 2 dozen pro v balls if he could tell me which one was the pro v. Not only did he fail the first go around, he choose a tailor-made range ball on his second attempt......oh the horror. Lol Now there is nothing wrong with being loyal to a company and buying their product but sometimes it doesn't hurt to take a reality check and ask yourself why. Marketing is a powerful thing. fwiw, I bought him the pro v anyhow , even if it is a mental thing more then a physical thing. If playing the ball you like gives you the confidence or makes you happy then so be it. play the ball and enjoy the game.

When a company makes a club in the USA I will proudly display their brand here. All of mine were made in china by somebody making $2 a day. Shame on you Mr club manufacture.

AD333 is the best selling two-piece ball in the UK.

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.

    • Day 35 (6 Jan 26) - Got opportunity to play today, opted to mix it up - pulled Driver, 3w and 4h, keeping 7w, 5-Pw, 50 and 55 wedges and putter.  Played a set of tees up as well - goal: focus on the irons, especially the scoring clubs.  Had one of the sessions in a while (3 over 39 front, 6 over 42 back (a couple late round poor shot choices)).  Had a blast working a 10 club setup…
    • Day 17 - 2026-01-06 Mix of mat and net work, same focus on trail side and hands. Mirror work again later in the day.
    • Hi all. I have sought permission from admin to post this here. First, here's a quick link to my products on TST, which a few of the mods have been road-testing...  Most of you would be aware of the import tariffs imposed on importers to the US circa September last year. Prior to their introduction, I was selling a decent number each week into the 'States. Since the tariffs came in - which added ~AU$60 to the total cost of getting them over there - sales have dropped to virtually nil. I think fear of the tariffs is the biggest part rather than the actual cost increase, despite me declaring everywhere on my site that we pay the tariffs and have successfully got every order into the US without any problems since. What is still unknown to most US consumers is that these tariffs will DOUBLE in February as Australia Post will no longer be allowed to offer "private" rates, they all change to "commercial". I do indeed think that this will make the products uncompetitive to ship there. So what's the backstory?  I'm a small Aussie business, not some corporate juggernaut. I invented these products - not a reseller for someone else. The import tariffs double in February, so add another ~15% to the total cost. If you want StanceMate alone I can do a super deal on a run-out model PREVIEW HERE (note you cannot purchase this yet. I think the shipped price will be about AU$110 inc Shipping (tariffs included). If you want to reduce the cost of the whole Stryper Plus Bundle I can swap the runout StanceMate to reduce the overall price by AU$60. These work EXACTLY as the newer version, just not as premium quality in the way the finish is achievbed in production) IMPORTANT: All import tariffs are PRE-PAID at my end, and clears customs no problem. I've sent a half dozen since October with every one delivered. NB: I'm not here to get into the politics of the decisions on tariffs, so let's not go down that road. It is what it is! So StanceMate to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - about US$70 Bundle to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$240 Bundle (with version 1 StanceMate) to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$200 Cheers Corbs
