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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
