What do you think it is? i have really been looking for a ball taht helps me spin, as ive tried some,a dn some spin,a nd others dont, but, witht eh christmas season, my parents are gonna buy me a pack of my choice! so, in you humble opinion, what ball spins the most?

|Callaway FT-9 Tour Neutral 9.5 Diamana BlueBoard| TaylorMade TourLaunch 14.5 Matrix Ozik F7M2 X| Adams Idea Pro 20 Matrix Ozik Altus X| Mizuno MP-32 4-PW TTDG S300|Titleist Vokey 50| Tour Issue Titleist Black Ni Vokey SM 54|Callaway X Forged 62 || Kirk Currie Brazos| Callaway Tour IX/...


I wouldn't be worried about balls....

Driver: Sumo2 5900 10.5*
3+ Utility: 3DX Utility 13.5*
Hybrids: 4DX 18.5*
Irons: MP-30 3-PW
Wedges: Vokey SM54.10 & SM60.04Putter: T.P. Mills StudioBall: GamerBag: Warbird Stand


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
3-Wood: Gigagolf Ozzy Moto, 15°, UST PGH 100 R Flex
5-Wood: Gigagolf Ozzy Moto, 18°, UST PGH 100 R FlexHybrids: Deep Red 17°/21°Irons: Deep Red, 17-4 Stainless, 5-PWWedges: Orlimar SOS Black Oxide,...

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:

Driver: Nike Ignite 460cc 10.5* Fujikura Ignite reg flex
Fairway woods: Howson tour master power series 3,5 woods
Irons: MacGregor M675 3-PW DG S300 Wedges: Mizuno MP-R Black Nickel 54.10, 60.05Putter: Pinfire Golf P4Ball: Titleist NXT TourHome Course:http://www.golfarmagh.co.uk/...

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

I think the B330S spins the most.

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.

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.

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
