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

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.
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 3 doz were supposed to arrive yesterday. FedEx svcks something awful lately. Continuous missed delivery dates. Name change to FedUSPS.
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 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.
bigjohntripod Looks like you weren't the only one who was impressed lol
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
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.
Jake I’m waiting for the blue and yellows they teased earlier this year.
PureStickGolf saw them available on Dicks Sporting Goods this past weekend
Jaybananapantsarthur sweet!! Good lookin out!
bigjohntripod gonna need some sunglasses and a thermonuclear suit
Jaybananapantsarthur And a new playing partner.
TFixer5 don't have to worry about me playing the wrong ball anymore
Update: Played 9 after work with the new ProV1X and I’m a fan. The wedge spin is night and day compared to the TP5X, which is to be expected I suppose. It only got away from me once off the tee but honestly it was so bad that I can’t say there’s a single ball on the market that would have reacted much differently. I’ll try out the ProV1 as well, but I could get used to seeing my ball stop on a dime like that on wedge shots.
Jaybananapantsarthur Ohhhhh they bright fo show bro! I line it up on the tee red up so it spins red/yellow. It’s so easy to see the flight. As someone who refuses to get contacts, this is what I’m rolling with
Jaybananapantsarthur they match your bathing suit course attire flawlessly
maxbianchi I'm such a beach bum
not sure why I decided to test a new ball today during our Men's Golf Association Stableford, it was a bit damp so figured why not. Front 9 Chrome soft x ls, love it off the tee, launched a bit high bit not spinny. Was fantastic around the greens, very receptive. Back 9 @ForeLeft sent me a sleeve of left dashes. I don't even know what to say, it almost goes too far. Off the tee, perfect, like the x ls, greens, also perfect, irons out of the rough, different story. This thing sailsssssss. I was hitting everything with about 15 more yards of carry. Caught a flier out of the rough with a 6 iron, carried 235. Both will need a few more rounds, but we are off to a good start.
