So i normally play a Titleist NXT Tour but I've tried the Callaway HX Tour and like them. Also heard some good things about Srixon balls. What's the best ball they have? hoping to get as much distance as i can, i seem to be able to play with anything around the greens. Thanks!

You might as well forget the concept of "distance balls", distance balls mean less spin around the green and almost no gain in distance.

What is your Swing Speed? How good of a ball striker are you?

Srixons Z-URS and Z-URC are their tour balls.

If you want distance, I really don't think anything beats the Callaway HX Hot.

As far as Srixon's go, try the Srixon TriSpeed (not their top ball, but a ton of distance)

Driver Ping G10 10.5*
Hybrids Ping G5 (3) 19* Bridgestone J36 (4) 22*

Srixon makes a great tour ball if you're looking to spend that much. I haven't tried their mid level balls, but I can't imagine them being better than the NXT-Tour.

Driver: 905R 9.5° (Titleist Speeder by Fujikura - S)
3-Wood: 906F2 15° (UST Proforce v2 - S)
5-Wood: 909F3 18° (Matrix Ozick - S)
Irons: Amp Irons 4-PW (True Temper Dynalite 90 - S)
Wedges:   Oil Can 248.06, 254.10, 260.04
Putter: White Hot XG #5

I tried the Srixon Trispeed today and I was really impressed with the way I could stop them on the greens. They seem to have a higher trajectory than the Pro V1, e6 or HX Hot. I got good distance but there wasn't much wind to mess with the higher ball flight. I'll give them another try Sunday or Monday.

I like the NXT Tours.

They do tend to shred on wedge shots though. I have had strings of cover on my ball and can even hear the shredded sound as it goes through the air.

In my bag:

Driver: Cleveland Hibore XL 9.5*
Hybrids: Cleveland HiBore 19*
Nike Slingshot 23*Irons: Titleist 775 CBWedges: Titleist Vokey 54.10 Callaway X-Tour 58.12

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
