I just made the switch to Srixon-Z-URS and like them a bit more than the ProV1's I usually use. Not many people play Srixon balls, and I like not having to worry about hitting someone elses ball or someone else hitting mine since everyone plays Titleists.

In My Bag :

Driver : HiBore XL
3 Wood : Launcher Gold
Hybrid : 3i Halo 22*Irons : CG4 4-PWWedges : 588 DSG RTG 52* CG11 56* / 60*Putter : GM Exchange2 #4Ball : Z-URS

I use Maxfli A3 Solids right now, but after those are gone, I'm switching to the Bridgestone e6.

Good luck,
Ryan

I prefer Srixon AD-333, or Precept Laddie extreme. Of the choices on the poll, I would prolly go with the Callaway HX Hot.

F60 15*

S58 5-PW

Prefer Titleist Pro-V1/X (2005? version). Feels softer than more modern balls. For practice rounds really like Precept Laddies and Noodles due to soft feel and low cost.

Am I the only guy on the planet that hits Pinnacle (long)? I know they are cheep but I like the way they feel. I know they might not have the 'cool' factor, but what am I missing?

currently I'm using Pro V1's, I bought them off of EBAY for a good price (2 dozen of them for $21.00 SH included) before that I was using Top Flight D2's "Distance" which is also a good ball and cheap....i will not purchase Pro V1's other then on EBAY...over priced anywhere else.

hx hot or nxt extreme

Usually use NXT Extreme's or HX Hot's
Soon to be Home Track : Grey Silo GC (71.5 / 128)

Titleist Pro V1 but some of the other urethane covered balls also play well and stand up well to the square grooves of my original Eye2's

I prefer the Titleist ProV1x. I have played the Callaway Hx Tour and it is a good ball with the exception that it scuffs easily.

I've also had a big problem with damaging HX Tours, for 40 a dozen (even though I usually play what I find) it's not something I'd go out and buy. I play pro v1's when I have them in my bag, again I refuse to pay 45 a dozen. I can honestly say though that I notice a difference, my shots from the fairway from inside 170 stick on the greens,which is desierable.

In the bag:
Driver: r7 quad v2 stiff
3-Wood: XLS
Hybrid: X
Irons: CG Golds 3-GWSW: x forged 56/13LW: Vokey sm 60/.08Putter: Callie 35''Ball: pro v1

I was given a sleeve of B330's by a salesmen during an outing at work and fell in love (well, maybe just lust lol). I can't say they're longer than anything else, but they just 'feel' right when I hit them. I've been playing them ever since.

In a month or two I'll probably switch back to my previous ball, TaylorMade TP Red's .....they feel a lot softer to me during the colder months...

Have been using NXT tour for about a month now. I like the distance I get with them and the feel around the green.

Posted
I use DT SoLO's but I prefer Pro V1's.

But until I can consistently shoot in the 80's, I don't think there is a point of spending that extra money. I do get happy though when I find a Pro v1.

i have noticed that comparing my v1x's to the b330's is that the prov's spin less off of the driver so they have better control. but they don't give as much distance as the bridgestone. but i like control off the T because the driver is my most fought club!

    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
