For about the last year or so, I've been using the TP5 primarily, with the TP5x on windy days. The ball has served me well. I'll buy a box of every company's ball each year and try. I have a bucket where I throw all my eagled balls into, and just looked at them, and realized that they are all... ProV1s. Which leads me to an internal struggle, the ball I enjoy using or the ball that has helped me have all my eagles? Hm. I'm contrarian by nature, so I've always looked for an alternative to the ProV1, but damn it's a good ball. What ball are you guys using and why?

I'm very similar. I like playing TaylorMade and Callaway balls because everyone seems to play ProV1s and I tend to play them pretty well. Buuuuttttt, I can't argue with how consistent and reliable the ProV1 is so I always seems to have a few in the bag "just in case"

Pro V1x is my ball of choice. Second will be TM’s tour ball when they’re on sale.

I'm a Pro V1 guy, but should just spend more time hunting lost balls on the course and use those.

TFixer5 I bought a bunch of mint Pro V1x PRACTICE balls a while back and for some reason those always stay in play. As soon as I crack open a new sleeve, they seem to love going into the woods. Must be a defective batch 😂

I've been a TP5x guy for a long time, but recently tried the new Bridgestone and really enjoyed it. I'm buying a box to give it a full test.

Still have some K-Sig 4 piece from the OG release I am using funny enough (I don't play enough golf) and before that I loved the feel of TM Project A balls. My game just isn't good enough to warrant a pro level ball but I've also never had a ball fitting so no idea what I should be using. I did used to rock the Bridgestone E6 before I found the Project A....

If I got free golf balls... Taylormade TP5x.... but seeing how I have to pay for them.... Srixon Z-Star XV. On cooler days (not that I have many in So Cal).... Q-Star Tour. I've always liked the Taylormade golf balls.... TP Red, Penta, Lethal, Tour Preferred X.... but the XV just performs for me (both on the course and in my wallet) and I like the feel.

For years I used ProV1-x. Then when they switched the setup between the ProV1 and X version (wtf?), I kind of started using Chrome Softs (because I dug the different Truvis designs). I played those for a while, and still do to an extent, but kept dabbling with other balls like the TP5x. However, after giving the new Bridgestone ball a try, I have made the switch. I now either game a Bridgestone B-X or the Bridgestone B-XS (I haven't landed on which one I like more yet). They fly off the driver, have great spin around the greens, and it is one of the most durable balls I've ever hit. Overall, it's a winner in my book.

ProV1x or TP5x Snell MTBx mid range Wilson FLI or Maxfli UFli Soft on the cheap

Mainly use the TP5, but am somewhat interested in trying the Tour B XS.

What Ball Are You Using?

Nike Rzn Tour Platinum until I run out of my surplus...

I bought a sleeve of the new TP5X before my round this past weekend to give them a try as I currently play the 2019 TP5X. Like everyone else, my only complaint about the 2019 ball is the lack of greenside spin. I was shocked by how much better the new TP5X was in this regard. The greens were fairly soft and most of my approach shots would hop once and stop. I am curious to try the new ProV1 as well, but at this point I would guess that I'm going to stick with the 2021 TP5X for now

Had pro shop credit end of last year and ended up with like 4 dozen Chrome Soft X triple track. So guess I’ll be playing those for the next few years.

Looking forward to giving the TP5X Pix a go this year.

Pro V's a mix of yellow with blue letters and white with pink.

denamart88

Callaway chrome soft and chrome soft x on soft days. I can control the spin very well with these. Thinking about going back to the pro v1 ball for a bit.

Haughdaddy

Callaway ChromeSoft X LS. I am quickly loving this ball. Off the tee the spin consistency has been noticeable but I haven’t really noticed any lower spin around the greens. My second choice would be Bridgestone X.

Jake

I've decided to revisit this since I'm itching to change something and I've already spent way too much on clubs this season. I'm currently gaming the '21 TP5X which is significantly better than the '19 version for short game spin. I'm going to go to the opposite end of the spectrum and give the new ProV1X a try, and I'll probably try the ProV1 as a middle ground between the other 2. Has anyone that has been gaming either of the new Titleist balls noticed a significant difference between them and the previous version?

OffTheDole

Jake I feel like the new Pro V1 doesn't have as much sidespin, especially off the longer clubs. I'm not slinging it nearly as much as I was before.

Also, I just took advantage of the Srixon buy-two-get-one-free deal and they should be here this week. I'm very interested to see how they compare to the Pro V1 Yellow.

Jake

OffTheDole Good to know. I've thought about grabbing a sleeve of the Srixon Divides for putting practice after @bigjohntripod has good things to say about them. Would love to hear your thoughts after comparing them to the ProV1

bigjohntripod

Jake 100% try them out bro. I’m shocked by performance. These were taken yesterday to show Ball Mark vs where the ball ended up. 4i from 225-230 and a 6i from 207. Neither shot was with or against the wind. Straight shots. These things hit and stopped feet from their marks.

OffTheDole

Jake I went with the Z-Star XV and will report back after some testing. I'm hoping this plus some tweaks to the driver will get me that 10 yards I need 🤣

Jaybananapantsarthur

bigjohntripod 3 doz were supposed to arrive yesterday. FedEx svcks something awful lately. Continuous missed delivery dates. Name change to FedUSPS.

Jake

bigjohntripod Sheesh man, I'm not sure what's more impressive: The stopping power with your long irons or sticking it that close with a 4i from 230

Jaybananapantsarthur

bigjohntripod gonna need some sunglasses and a thermonuclear suit

I have tested the Bridgestone Bx, ProV1, ProV1x, TP5X, and then Srixon Zstar XV, and the Srixon is my favorite. Distance is up there with the Bridgestone, but much more spinny on wedge shots and chips. I am all in on the Srixon train after testing.

bigjohntripod

Jaybananapantsarthur ughhhhhhhhhhh 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Packages are just Terrible right now. They got a lot on their plate, but damn man.

Jake My 4i is (I think) stronger than a 3i brosef! My clubs were built for the Texas, now Florida, wind. That 4i was on a rope too, and stopped dead. Unreal bro. Never seen it before. A ProV1, for me, would have skipped over the green. They look “different” but I like them a lot, I dig the two tone and when it leaves the face I can see the spin, love that shit.

Jake

bigjohntripod Looks like you weren't the only one who was impressed lol

bigjohntripod

Jake For $70 for 3dzn, my local course has a bunch. I may drop the $ for 12dzn man. Incredible deal and excellent ball. I’m not surprised folks are buying them up. Never seen one on the course, but online they’re tough to get.

PureStickGolf

Jake I’m waiting for the blue and yellows they teased earlier this year.

Jaybananapantsarthur

PureStickGolf saw them available on Dicks Sporting Goods this past weekend

Jaybananapantsarthur sweet!! Good lookin out!
