Precept Lady. Or maybe the Wilson 50 or the new Nike ball, the KARMA or whatever. The last two are 50-compression balls that might work. Or try the old JUICE.

I dunno. I use the Lady (or Laddie if you prefer) when it's really cold out.

Just tried the Wilson 50 today. I really like this ball. I got very good distance and it had a great feel around the greens. Some might find it too soft.

Just keep a couple of spare ones in your pocket and switch every few holes. The spares will be warmer, therefore easier to compress and go farther.

I switch from the ProV1X to the ProV1. The extra spin helps stop the ball on the harder winter greens, and the added softness helps too.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
