After having the flu and was stuck in bed over the thanksgiving holidays, I had a lot of time to review many different balls. I settled on the Srixon Q-Star Tour. Finally got to try them today. WOW is all I can say. For about half the price of Pro V1, you can’t beat these bad boys. I would feel comfortable betting money that if you teed one up, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. I like the way they play on the Green better too.

Agree to disagree. I bought a dozen of TP5X, and absolutely hated them. But I know what you’re saying. 

I didn't say they all feel the same. But people equate feel to performance. For example, if a ball feels soft they automatically equate it to more greenside spin. Harder balls? Prolly fly further.. etc..

I have played PV-1s in the past. Great ball, but for my swing/game, just not worth the extra coins. 

I have also played Srixon balls in the past, but not the one the OP listed. Found them all to be quite playable too. Actually I can't remember ever playing a "poor quality" ball. My scores stayed about the same, relative to how I was playing at the time. 

I will just stay with my cheapie Bridgestones untill I am done playing. .

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.

If you like those, you should also try Maxfli U6.

For about $32.00/dozen, they're worth it.

In my bag Driver: Cleveland CG tour black Fairway Woods: Diablo Octane 3 wood; Diablo 5 wood Irons: Mizuno MP53 5-9 Hybrid: Cobra 3, 4 T-Rail Wedge: 46* Cleveland, 50* Cleveland, 54* Titleist, 60* Titleist Putter: Odyssey protype #6 Ball: Maxfli U4/U6... But I'm not really picky about the ball I use.

I hit some of the old Srixon Q-Stars and liked them. I like the Titleist AVX better. In all honestly, I probably could not tell the difference in my score, but balls are just as personal as any other equipment.  I think I hit the AVX about a half club longer with my irons than anything I have tried. Your mileage may vary-that's why all brands are able to sell a few.

I've played them, not a bad ball, but I think they are shorter off the driver than the Titleist for me. Like someone said most of the Tour balls are pretty close to one another, its more about finding one that fits your needs for spin and feel. Whats best for one person might not be the best for someone else. Some people need the extra spin off the driver, some people need a little less spin off the wedges. You play around until you get one you like in your budget. I prefer the Titleist AVX, except in the winter I play ProV1x.

      Playing With Irons

      I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.

      With the H4 or the watch, you tag the club before hitting by putting the tag next to the device. The tag is on the club butt end. After a round, you don’t really think about it too much. You just do it. I don’t know how far you are from @phillyk, but he may know an instructor in your area.

      So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.

      Playing With Irons

      By John of Art ·

      Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
