I'm pretty sure you need a ball. Otherwise it's just going for a stroll with golf clubs. That actually sounds nice.

Anyway, Wilson all the way baby!!

It does, to a point. Try out a box of Dunlops or Cougars sometime and you'll see what I mean.

In line with this thread rather than start another, what balls have you guys played that you find offer a lot of greenside spin but are in the more affordable category. I'm looking for better spin for the greens but don't want to shell out $40-50 bucks a dozen.
I'm playing Bridgestone E6's right now and love them off the tee and on iron shots, I just don't find they offer much spin around the green.

In my bag:

Nike SQ DYMO 10.5
Big Bertha 3 Wood
Big Bertha 3-10 IADAMS Tom Watson Classic 54,58 and 64 Wedges Nike Oz 5 Putter/Wilson Staff ( not sure model, bought it in second hand store ) Ball: Bridgestone E6

What shots are you having problems with? I like the Wilson C:25 and Titleist NXT Tour, but I also don't mind a ball with less spin. I actually enjoy playing my pitch shots to a certain spot on the green where t will run out like a putt toward the cup. Hop and stop is nice on TV but in reality high cappers tend to do a lof of back and forth over the green trying to hit those shots. Get it on the ground ASAP is my motto - I'm so old!

Taylormade TP Black LDP, I've tried it. Good distance and nice feelings around the green

PENTA PENTA PENTA!!! I play black all the time and love the off green performance, but greenside they are like rocks. Penta's are like butta....soft and tasty. Seriously....distance and spin....the only thing is the price. I only have a sleeve and managed two rounds with out losing one.

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

I really want to try Penta TP but the price issue is really bothering me. Especially in Bangkok, Thailand. But, I think I might feel more comfortable hitting cheaper ball instead of premium ones just because.. my ball flight is really unpredictable right now. hehe

Btw, I'm very new here on this site.

      That's after he went to SMU. I tweeted the URL to the SMU article from 2009 in response. I doubt he'll acknowledge it, but thanks.

      Come one now. Some guy on twitter says it so it must be true? Groundbreaking for SMU's Payne Stewart Golf Learning Center Thats the SMU announcement from 2009. Was named way before Bryson started. Construction apparently did not finish until 2017 so at least the guy on twitter got that right.       That quote is apparently from this 2022 article  LIV Superstar Bryson DeChambeau Shares the Real Reason Why He Fell in Love With Ben Hogan and His Famous Flat Cap - EssentiallySports In his recent YouTube video, Bryson DeChambeau discusses how his love for the famous Ben Hogan cap began and his admiration for the legend.   He has talked about the cap way before this. In a 2015 interview he talks about both Payne Stewart and Ben Hogan as the inspiration, Think Young, Play Hard: Bryson DeChambeau | Golf Digest U.S. Amateur and NCAA individual champ Bryson DeChambeau looks forward to next year.

      I don't know if that's the same thing. That's a mural at a cheesesteak store, I think. Anyway…
