I think the Titleist Pro-V1x, but it still spins a bit. It has great soft feel though.

Top Flite D2 Feel. This has a better feel then most TF's but it still has a fairly hard cover so it doesn't spin a whole lot.

I like the TopFlite D2 soft feels too, but my ball of choice is the Maxfli Revolution-Solid. I get them at wal-mart, target, and edwin watts for $20/2 dozen.
I'm only at 13 clubs in the bag, what do you reccomend as a 14th? My foot wedge?

i just recently tried these nike one black tour prototypes and one platinum tour prototypes

.. i guess they're the newer ones but they feel pretty soft and it didn't spin as much as ProV's, i don't know if they're similar to the old black's and platinum's because i've never played them. But they should be about the same

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
