I bought a new G15 driver with a stiff shaft last Saturday.  Great club for most of the courses I play here, but the course I play on when I go home requires a higher ball flight.  I naturally hit the ball high, so it is good that it keeps it down, but I would like to have a ball in the bag that will get a higher trajectory with my new driver.

Anyone have any ball suggestions?  Swing speed is 110ish.  Thanks in advance.

Look at the Bridgestone e7... that has a higher trajectory and still can land it soft around the greens.... spin however is a little tougher..

Actually the E7 is designed for a lower, piercing trajectory.

Bridgestone E5, Top-Flite Gamer V2, Srixon Z-Star or Bridgestone B330-S would be some good options.  Im partial to Bridgestones but they are all great balls.

And if you roll with the Z-star, go ahead and buy the yellow.  It's a fun change of pace.

And it has the most durable cover of any tour level spin ball in history....

Really?  I hadn't heard or read that.  Cool if true.

If your swing speed is around 110 and that's your avg swing speed you can play any tour ball.  I like the Penta and Srixon, but the Bridgestone 330s and the 330RXS are nice.  If your lookiing for the cheaper end of quality, go for the topflight gamerV2.

Well, it's a bit of a personal opinion, but I did hear some players after the 2010 Masters Par 3 contest (where the ball made it's big debut) that the cover was fantastic and have heard similar from other players I know.  I have a sleeve and love them.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
