I was playing the Q Stars for a while, but I never could get the feel I wanted from them. Switched to the e6 late last season and am very happy with them now. Hopefully they continue to work for me

Quote: When I looked at the Bridgestone site, and they always recommend the E6.. unless I lie to them and say I do not fight a minor slice on tee shots sometimes. I was hesitant

Srixon Q stars are good balls for players that need less spin and titleist NXT are good also just a bit more expensive but have a softer feel. I play z stars but if I were to downgrade I think it woul

Loving the nike 20XI's, personally I love the sound, feels like I'm hitting a spring.

And my Driver is already loud, sounds like an explosion off the tee, and carries farthest in the group.

I had been hitting the Bridgestone E6 moving to the Srixion Soft Feel (cost), and not going back to the Titleist DT Solo.

Curious, what didn't you like about the venerable  Titleist DT So/Lo?

I have been playing them as my "go-to" ball  for some time now and believe that they are the best overall ball for most amateurs/ recreational players from the standpoint of performance and price point.

I've never encountered anyone who did not like them, although perhaps preferring another ball....

I'm just wondering what you didn't like about them to form such a seemingly strong negative opinion.

I buy a dozen of the cheapest balls i find for practice, water holes, and when I am playing bad. I play with TM lethal and 20xi on a regular basis. prov1 are ok balls, but i play better with other balls. just my opinion, but you do what works for you.

Doesn't everybody? I could have sworn I saw Woods dip into his bag and pull out a scuffed up Pinnacle to use on #12 at Augusta last year.

When it was 65 and I got out a few Mondays ago for a few holes I bought a 24-pack of Pinnacles in the pro shop for a song because I was worried that I'd lose a bunch because they'd bury in the soft fairways (the snow had just melted - I figured it'd be soggy out) and I didn't want to lose some good balls.


Turns out I found all the balls I hit, plus seven more, so now I've got 24 Pinnacles. I'll save them for the next time it's actually soggy out, give them away to some kids, something…

Has anybody tried the 2013 Bridgestone 330RX? Is it any different from the 2012 ball? I know that the ball changed drastically from 2011 to 2012.

I looked around for gamer v2's at dicks sporting goods today and had no luck. I grabbed a box of the top flite gamer tours for 25 bucks. Anyone try these yet? Did they stop making the gamer v2?

Right now the Callaway HEX Pro (only at Costco). Pretty comparable to the HEX Black but nearly 1/2 the price.

I use Srixon Soft Feel also.

Great feel about them from close range and rolls nicely on the greens

I'm curious about that too... I play the e6 but the DT Solo's are my next favourites. You can get them for $20/dozen over here, you can't beat that price for the quality of the balls.

I just played a round with TM Burner Tour and really liked them a lot. I picked up a dozen for $18. Not bad for the price at all.

      Would You Rather…?

      By WillieT ·

      For me it would be opt 1 , even though it’s a watching it slip away scene.  I believe it was Brando who lamented at the end of Streetcar Named Desire that he could’ve been a contender….would I be like @ChetlovesMer’s friend?  I hope not, but to know that for a moment I was giving the  win a run for the money would be a great memory…

      2025 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Sammydreep ·

      After a bit of a lean spell managed to birdie stroke hole one, long par five. Ball striking best it’s been for a while short game exactly the opposite. Had so many opportunities to post good scores last three or four games, failed miserably😀

      Would You Rather…?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Would You Rather #69 For this question let's assume you are playing whatever tournament is important to you.  Would you rather finish second in your tournament but be remembered for a huge mistake you make right at the end.  or  Would you rather play solidly in your tournament, but you still finish outside the top 25, and are never really in contention.  Incidentally, this happed to a friend of mine many years ago at the tournament I play every year. He was leading the tournament coming into the last hole, where he took two to get out of a greenside bunker and then three-putted his way to second place. He hasn't really been in contention again since.
