When I played from HC 6 some 15 yrs ago I played Spalding Tour Edition balls, still have some of these old balls, which ball by modern standards comes close ..... as far as I remember construction was 2-piece with a soft cover....

I remember them. Bit hard for me but spun like crazy. Not sure it's like-for-like but the Bridgestone E5 (2010) might be similar. Two-piece w/ urethane cover hence decent spin. Might want to try out some of the tour-style balls though; if you like a harder feel off the face try looking at the Titleist ProV1x, Srixon Z-StarX or Bridgestone B330. Sure there are others; best answer (sorry!) would be to try a few out.....

Well actually I am playing the e5 !!!, it comes close, but the Tour Edition is a bit longer and spins more. The e5 also spins a lot but doesn't really "check" on the green ...... of course the high end balls will provide the bite, but the good thing of the Tour Edition was the price was lowish..... How about the Srixon AD333 ?

How about the Srixon AD333 ?

Acutally I just played on of these sunday for the first time..and I will say it is looong..!! atleast one club longer..flew the green first 2 holes and then then hit a 5I 195 (5I is usually 180 or so) The only thing I'm not sure of is if it's gonna be enough spinn?? lost in the woods on next hole..stupid 3w..!!! I've read a bunch of reviews and alot of people knock the spinn on this ball as not being the best.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.
