Im looking for a ball that spins a decent amount, is softish but doesnt cut up. I know its a big ask but if you could give me some ideas that would be great. Currently had a good run with the taylormade burner ldp but it feels a little hard around the greens.

Golf Digest had a great Ball Hot list recently. I'd check it out.

I was pleasantly surpirsed to see my ball of choice get a Gold mark

Bridgestone E5 or Top-Flite Gamer would be my suggestions. The main thing you want to look for is a ball that has a urethane cover. Thats going to give you more spin than a ball with an ionomer or surylin cover.

The prov1 is a great ball but to the OP's question he wants a ball that doesnt cut up and thats all the prov1 does is get cut up.

pro V1 is not for everyone. No ball is for everyone. I hope the OP takes all the information available and makes a choice of what ball is the best for him. All anyone will do in this thread is name the ball they play, which is not necessarily the best option for OP.

There's a handful of balls I will use and for the money right now, it's hard to beat Taylor Made TP Red or Black. They're like 27.50 I played 18 today and my TP Red still looks relatively new.

Ive been playing with the same ProV1x for 3 rounds. It looks kinda scuffed, but it still rolls true on the greens.

Srixon Z-Star or Srixon Z-StarX depending on your swing speed. Ball spins great, little bit shorter off the tee, but is very soft off the putter face.

    • day 93. Chipping and practice getting a little more comfortable with longer irons 
    • 89.    Came less than a centimeter short of my first eagle. Had an ugly triple on the last too. But didn't lose a ball. Now in the last 3 rounds I have only lost 1 ball. 
    • Played the same course as yesterday today. 6,860 yards, 72.6. Scored better today. Shot a 37-38 for a 75 and did something I don't recall ever having done before. The par 5's run 522-646-523-557 and I birdied (or better) all of them. They only reason I turned in a respectable round was because I played them -5. I only hit one fairway on the front 9 and then hit 4 on the back. Only hit 9 greens today. I didn't hit the ball well at all today, but putted pretty decently. Just was in a weird swing funk. 8 bogies, 6 pars, 3 birdies, and an eagle.
    • Heavy rain from a squall was pounding down. I hit driver on #18 at Pierce Lake to the hole location back right. Probably 230 yards. I knew the shot was good but did not tarry and hustled over to some sheltering trees until the squall passed. Eventually the rain lessened a bit and I jogged over to the green. 6 feet. I missed the putt but the tee shot was still darn good.
    • They would murder my home course (Leslie Park). 6,611 yards/72.0/129. If someone can hit it 300-350 yards, there are multiple drivable par 4’s and all the par 5’s could be reached in two.
