Im the most angry/dissapointed I may have ever been in my golf life. Down at the beach to play golf w some college buddies and I post a 95. I have played off and on for 10+ years, but full time the last 4 years. I practice every single day, ive had lessons, and after a personal best 77 2 years ago Ive gotten worse ad watched my hcp rise to 12. I shoot in the 90s about half the time now it seems. I want to break every club in my bag, then takethe pieces and place them in a fire pit, melt them down into one solid piece and beat myself to death with it. I hate golf. If I wasnt so helplessly addicted to the game I would quit for good. End rant.

So I've played a few rounds now with the E5 as opposed to the Srixon Q-Star I've played with for a while now. First, these things are longer than the Q-Star. I'm about a half club longer w/ irons. Driving distance IDK because it's been real wet but I have to believe it's further there too. These things definitely spin more around the greens. They stop quicker. This is what I wanted.... I ball that spins for under $30. As for the feel of the things... They are definitely harder. You can take a wedge in your hand and just drop different types of golf balls onto it and listen to the sound it makes. The E6, for example, claims to be the "softest multi-layer ball on the market". It makes almost no sound, like a tennis ball. The E5 makes a higher pitched "click" sound. Q-Star somewhere between the two, same for ProV1, etc. In summation, you get what you pay for. The E5 performs much like more expensive ball, but definitely feels kinda hard.

Chiping/Pitching distance control. Putting stroke/path on

I guess I should have said for your average golfer. From a design standpoint, I get it for the back tees. But forcing the forward/member tees to shape a ball is asking a lot. But I suppose you don't agree.

I've come across a few holes that even from the member's tees, you almost HAVE to hit a draw or fade, sometimes severe. This is usually due to a narrow shoot through trees within the first 50/100 yards of the ball flight. I loath this. I can shape the ball decently enough in these circumstances at times, but I don't believe forcing weekend golfers to due so is good design.

I would like to have more control and stopping power (gun term applied to golf? lol) with my approaches. I know that tour caliber balls (proV1, etc) provide this, but I want this for affordable, say, under $35 a dozen. What do you guys have that fits this? Currently, I am playing the Bridgestone E5 for this very reason and those sucker will do a little dancin' when you pinch one right.

I have a white RBZ, but I would prefer black, and not matted but shiny black.

thank you

I cannot seem to find where to do this... TIA

I have a borderline unhealthy addiction to this great game, so I figure I'll fit right in here. I look forward to sharing thoughts with y'all.
