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.

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.

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.

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...

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!

I prefer or use really comes down to financial capability. I would prefer Pro V1's what i can afford to play with are NXT Tours.

    • Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice. 
    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR. 
    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.
