Ball Choices

What ball should i hit if I have a 108 MPH Swing speed?

[Mr. Desmond]

If you want green side spin on finesse shots and less spin off driver - then expensive ones.

Try Callaway HEX Black

Bridgestone B330S

Titleist ProV1

Taylormade Penta

Srixon ...

etc.

I've been doing a lot of testing the past couple weeks between the Callaway Chrome v.s. Black. My swing speed is 109-110 mph and I played the iz last year. I think Callaway has a winner with either of these balls, and as they advertize, the Chrome is a very good ball that's a little softer than the Black and spins a little less. Overall I like the Black better and I got a little more distance out of the Black and just about the right amount of spin around the greens. The Callaway Black really is a great premium ball. I'll hold on to the Chrome balls to use on those colder days when you want a little softer ball.

They did a nice job on the trajectory of the new Callaway balls as well. With last years iz I loved the trajectory I was getting with my driver but my irons would balloon slightly so I would have to work at keeping it down. The Hex Black and Chrome both have a more penetrating flight and it kind of balanced out my trajectories with both Driver an Irons. I don't think you can go wrong with either the Hex Chrome or Black.

very close to my opinion about the Chrome and Black from Callaway.

But i still hold on the Pro V1x

Ive been hitting the B330 for a while now and love it. However after putting one out of bounds recently a mate threw me a 20xi-X on the tee block and i was instantly converted, the extra distance off the tee was unbelievable i also felt a lot more comfortable approaching greens after learning how the ball stops. I will be keeping some spares of these in my bag

ive been playing nike 20xi-x the last 10 rounds and preformance very much like the pro v1x. one big difference is that the nike is a bit firmer off the putter.

but the best part is that the cover is very durable. I can easily play 1 round (3-4 full wedge shots) with one ball whereas with the titleist it can be ruined in 1 shot. in my experince it even skuffs up on halfshots sometimes!

A tour ball isnt a good idea for someone with a 19 handicap.  Backspin is going to turn into sidespin and you will spend most of the day looking for your ball in the woods.  Id suggest more of a mid level ball: Bridgestone E (5, 6 or 7 depending upon your ballflight), Srixon Q-Star, etc...

top flite gamer v2 is the best low-mid priced ball out there.

Gotta agree with you on this one. It has a pretty good feel and plays long. The club pro tossed me a sleeve one day to try out. Shot 78.

Though it doesn't have the prestige of a pro v1, you will benefit from not picking up the extra side spin that often takes a not-so-good shot and makes it a terrible miss.

19 handicapper with 108 mph clubhead speed.  I'd go with something low spinning.  Definitely not a tour ball.  That is unless you never practice your short game and lose all your shots around the green, thus explaining the 19 handicap.

That's not likely. Better long game will leaf to better misses...
