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.

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 😂😂😂

maxbianchi

Jaybananapantsarthur they match your bathing suit course attire flawlessly

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.

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.

maxbianchi not sure why you're acting like 235 yard 6i isn't a thing for you

now that the season is drawing to an end in most parts of the country, what did people end up settling on ball wise this season?

i've just run out of my allotment of 2019 Pro V1Xs so i'm currently in the market for a new ball. There seem to be a bunch of really good balls out there. Gonna be fun to test them all if i can!

raywutang It’s the Left Dots for me….

philipjunior

raywutang what’s everyone’s process for testing balls? I depleted my overstock of BRX and will be looking for something for next year. I settled on the BRX mainly due to the MGS ball test a couple years ago. Can’t say I noticed any real issues. I do seem to like the ProV1s whenever I play them and took a spin with the left dash this year as well.

raywutang

Holdaway03 i would love for these to come back in stock!

Pro V1 is still my #1.

im trying the Vice Pro right now and while to seems to be as good (for me at least) from tee to green as the Pro V1, its lacking something on the green for me.

maxbianchi

geaux in my experience the pro plus seems to work more like the Pro V, and they are more durable as well. All around very solid ball

illest

maxbianchi is that right? I’ll have to check that out. On their site they compare the Pro to the Pro V1 so that’s what I was basing it off of.
