I just came back to say thanks everyone for the help. I bought some Srixon Q Star Tour balls that were on sale. I hit a couple to the right this morning, but that's 99% because of my feet. I also have consistently been chipping with my A wedge and I had some nice chips today. Still working on touch because I can send them over the green sometimes, but that also has nothing to do with the ball.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the advice. I agree that using high lofted clubs has added strokes for me, and I'm now mainly using my GW around the green unless I need to get over something. I have been very happy with hitting the fairways, and I guess hitting a couple slices made me grumpy. It probably was my feet, not the ball. I will stick with the Velocities for a while and work on playing the roll with my GW. I do have a handful Pro V1s that I have collected from the woods, so I can test them out too.

Thanks rebelrob. I know my score is high. I three-putt virtually every hole. So I need to work on my lag putts. But I think it would help too if my chips didn't roll out so much; so the first putt was shorter. But I can admit that every part of my game could use some work.

I would like some recommendations on choosing a ball. Recently, I have been playing refurbished Titleist Velocities, and I love the distance and accuracy I get off of the tee. But I can't stick anything to the green. It seems like every chip rolls to the fringe. Last night, a friend gave me a Kirkland Performance, and it stuck to the green really well when I chipped. But I couldn't hit a fairway. My old slice came back to haunt me when I tried to get any distance. I typically shoot 100-105. And I play about 27 holes per week. I started seriously golfing last year. I would guess my swing speed is under 100, but I'm not sure. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks in advance for your help.
