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.

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

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

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.

What's in the Bag:
Driver: Taylormade SLDR 12*
3-wood: Taylormade Burner 15*
Hybrid: Taylormade Burner 19*
Irons: Callaway XR

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.

    • Day 149 - More slow rehearsals trying to get into a better impact position. 
    • Hi everyone, I'm looking to improve my driving distance. I’ve been playing golf for a few years now, and while my accuracy has gotten better, I’m still struggling to get the distance I want off the tee. I play regularly with both men and women, so any advice that applies to both would be fantastic. For some context, I’ve tried adjusting my stance and swing, but I feel like I might be missing some key golf techniques or drills. Has anyone here successfully increased their driving distance? What specific tips or changes worked for you? Whether it's about grip, posture, swing mechanics, or even mental approach, I’m open to all suggestions! Looking forward to hearing your experiences and advice! Thanks!
    • Day 159: 6/3/24 Stack Training Full Speed Spectrum session 20/24. Diagnosed with tennis elbow today. Finished 1 mph higher than last session.
    • I don't know… The TaylorMade Tiger Woods grinds were decent. I like narrow soles with a lot of bounce (lots of camber) and good heel/toe relief.
    • Day 33 (3 Jun 24) - In between working on my bass guitar and its wiring issues, I was able to take the putter and roll some putts on the carpet in the shop.  Spent time with the lead arm as I usually putt with it tucked close  and then doing the lead arm chicken wing.  Interesting how the feel and pace is different.  Had seen a fellow golfer using it last week when we were playing.  Overall it was good to do an easy day of putting for pace and overall distance control from 10' in.
