The best ball for a short hitter,with a low clubhead speed,and not a lot of power,ie a woman??,looking at the market for the most advantagous ball that adds distance despite,saves me a lot of googling/reading getting you guys imput

Try the Srixon Ladies Soft. That is what my wife uses. Way too soft for my swing (I tried them), though I admit its a great ball for her. Theres also the Ladies Noodle.

But really, I would try something like the Nike PD soft or something first. It would be easier if we knew your swing speed, and what your strengths and weaknesses are. What is your usual miss? Are you playing the correct shafts> Its possiblke that its not all the ball.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Seemore Si-4 Black Nickel Putter

Actually its for my girlfriend,she has reg shafts,fast club speed for a woman but she is short in distance,more likely because she dont practise or play that much,i just thought giving her a more friendly user ball may give her more distance without need to practise that much,time is not a luxury you see

Most of the men at my course - except for those who hit the driver 260+ yds - use Callaway Legacy balls. At first they feel too soft with the driver but I've done the Pepsi test and they travel further for me and most of the men at my course. As for the ladies, give them any old tattie. :-P

Definitely the Srixon Soft Feel womens, is what I think its called.

My wife loves them. They come in a pink box, easy to identify, because its the only ball Srixon puts in a pink box. Made for high 70's to high 80's swing speed. 2 piece. Nice and soft. Feel great off the wedges. Too soft for me on the full swing, but chipping them is lovely.

Thanks for the information,for the other poster the ball is for a woman,not myself,i actually use any old tattie,long as its new and a two piece i'll use it,i find titleist last the longest,they take my hidings and mark the least

I use Titleist NXT tour or Pro V1 and I don't have a great swing speed or power hits.

I recommend Titleist, I always get more distance and accuracy with them, even the DT solo is pretty decent. Hit one the other day and it went at least 10 yards more than the practice balls the range provides(occasionally a Titleist gets mixed in).

I agree with the others who recommend Srixon Soft Feel. They're great for me (female, slow swing speed) and they're easy to identify because they're pink. I also bought a box of Noodle Plus Easy Distance that I haven't used yet. They're cheaper than Srixon and they are for slower swing speeds as well.

    • Wordle 1,830 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 what can I say? I’m embarrassed it took me five.
    • that is an excellent approach. I did that with my last set. I made a few 7 irons from different heads and shafts. Getting a feel for how they play on the course is the right idea. Let us know how it goes.
    • I’m glad the USGA booted some of the hecklers. It’s getting out of hand. I wish the networks wouldn’t mic the crowd to give those idiots a platform.
    • New member here, and I have decided to upgrade my clubs. I have been playing for a long time but these last 10 years I have had to put four kids through college. So I've played a few rounds a year and some years have not played at all. I am currently playing Titleist 716 AP2's with Rifle 6.5 steel shafts and Winn grips. I used to hit my 7 iron around 165 yds until just 5 years ago. I turned 62 this year and noticed I can barely get my 7 iron to 145 yds. I went for a fitting to try out some new player distance irons. I don't think I need game improvement irons because I'm pretty straight and rarely try to work a ball (if I'm working a ball, then I most definetely did something wrong to get there). I tried a bunch of irons (Callaway, Mizuno, PXG, Taylormade, Srixon, Ping, and Titleist) and I kept coming back to the Ping and Titleist. They just felt right and really looked good when lining up a shot. The Ping, by far, went the longest of all the irons. The Titleist was a close second in distance. Both felt buttery smooth through impact. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with these irons. I was getting 160 yds with a nice smooth swing (81 mph swing speed). I know I'm asking a lot of my clubs but my last fitting was 27 years ago and I ended up with some Cleveland TA3's or TA2's forged irons with Dynamic Gold S300 (swing speed 87 mph). I really love the feel of my AP2's and the place I'm going to purchase from is going to make a 7 iron in both Ping and Titleist for me to test on real grass. I'm pretty certain it's going to be either one. They're both identical in price for a set of 5-PW. I'm going to forego a 4 iron and get another 4 hybrid to go along with my 3 hybrid. Any and all replies are welcome.
    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.
