Long time reader first post
I've been doing some trial by error ball fitting and figured the crew here might be interested in my results
About me: driver swing speed 110-112, handicap 15
I've been trying to find best under $2 ball to fit my game. Feel like I could benefit from 3 piece ball but loose enough per round not to spring for pro v1, etc
B6 soft:. Great soft feel for chipping and putting. Definitely lost some distance compared to others. Surprised that it had most side spin off driver for me. Very hard time finding fairway. Great feel around and on the green. Best off putter
B6 speed: longest of the bunch and very straight for me. Softer than 2 piece distance ball but definitely suffers in chipping and putting feel and feedback
Srixon Q star tour: best all around. I don't generate alot of spin in my short game but this ball has best feel and performance around greens. Distance on par with B6 speed, maybe slightly less. Best thing I can say about this ball is I find it. Significantly less side spin off the driver. Feel like it fights to stay straight rather than continuing to curve. Feels like I can compress it with irons/wedges
Taylor Made tour preferred: found this online deep discount and figured I would throw it in for comps. Very long off tee. Pretty firm. High spin all around. I had a hard time finding the fairway. Good performance greenside but I prefer the feel of softer ball. Not a gamer for me
