Every time I try a new ball it's usually the same thing...there is one particular aspect that I like whether it's driver distance, a crisp feeling off of a wedge etc...but I always go back to the pro V1x because of three reasons. The dynamics of short wedge shots (distance and feel), predictable spin, (pitching from 10 yards or closer to the green), and most importantly how the ball reacts and rolls off the putter. So here we go again...the taylormade black. I expected to not like it, and I was pleasently surprised. The sound is more "rock like" but the result was excellent. More importantly putting with this ball was really good. I never thought that would be the strong suit of this ball, but I fell in love with it. I putt on bermuda greens, haven't used the ball on bent yet but I really like this ball over all...I give it an A +
