I have always been told two things about spinning balls:

1) The softer the ball covering, the easier to spin
2) Don't bother trying to control a soft ball until the rest of your game is solid.


That said, I have a friend who is a scratch golfer. He swears by the Wilson 50/50 for ball control (spin) and distance.
In my (looking for a new cart bag):

Driver: AirMax 430-S, 10.5°, Fujikura R Flex

First, you're probably going to get a different answer from everybody, but they'll probably be one of a few different balls coming up over and over again.

For the premium balls, I'd say, Taylor made TP Red, Titleist Pro v1, Nike one platinum and one of the srixon Z-UR (not sure which one), the Callaway HXTour.56 or the bridgestones B330s. In no particular order.

There are other 'spinny' two piece balls, which would be a little cheaper, but I couldn't give names, possably the Pinnacle exception or something the like...

Hope this helps.

Whats in the bag:

uMM well probably the Pro-V1 is the most spinniest, and the price reflects that.

The Callaway HX Tour 56 in my opinion is like crazy spin. I only like them on hard crusty greens.

There is a new course around here called Shale Creek. The greens are only a year old and hard as a rock.

The HX came in very handy on them. I would hit a high iron and it would take one hop and stop.

I think getting the ball to hop once or twice and stop is ideal. You can become more consistent that way. When you hit a "super spin" ball, you never know how much it will spin on a given shot. You might hit a shot into the green pin high and then the ball spins back 20 feet or play it to spin back and the ball just sits. IMO, if you can get a ball to sit after one hop, then you can consistently fire at pins because you know how the ball will react on the green.

Why not, the ball is an important piece in the fitting process.

uMM well probably the Pro-V1 is the most spinniest, and the price reflects that.

Price is more reflective of the manufacturing process and marketing costs. Titleist can charge $60 if they want to, just because it costs more doesn't mean if the nest ball for you. Actually for many people the Pro-V1X actually spins more than the Pro-V1 because people will not compress the core.

yea, i mean, i can get the ball to like, hop once or twice, and then stop, so im looking for somthing that is spinny..its not like i dont know how to spin...

The amount of spin is going to vary from person to person and club to club. Choosing a ball is as individual as getting fit for clubs.

My recommendation, take several sleeves and try them out on the course. Chipping, half shots, full shots, drives, etc. You'll be surprised that the most expensive ball isn't always the best choice. Sometimes it is though

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
