    Lower compression balls

    I went to a launch monitor and was told that I should switch to a lower compression ball due to my ball speed. Off the driver it was around 130 mph. I have tried the Super Loco but I was wondering if anyone else has tried others for example, Wilson Jack, Titleist DT spin, Noodle... I have tried the Super Loco (a dozen) and Titleist DT (1 ball) and I liked the Titleist better. Anyone else have some suggestions?

    Hogan Hawks are 70 compression, these balls perform pretty well for me.

    There is also the "Laddie" or even the Lady by Precept. They are good this time of year when it gets colder. I play them in the spring and fall weather.

    I have tried the Maxfli Noodle, Dunlop Loco, Nike Mojo, Titleist DT Solo, Strata Tour Soft, Top Flite XL3000 Super Feel and Pinnacle Exception low-compression golf balls so far. My favourite is the Noodle, but the DT Solo and Exception are also excellent. Didn't like the Mojo - all the others were fine. Still looking to try some Hogans and the Precept Laddie.

    I've tried the Dunlop LoCo, Nike Mojo, Wilson Jack, Maxfli Noodle and Precept Lady. I prefer the LoCo and Walmart sells a pack of 20 Dunlop LoCos for $23...good price.

    I have both the Loco and the super Loco and I would say that there is about 10-15 yards difference between the two, the super Loco being the longest one of the two.
    Just my opinion based on playing only those 2 kind of balls all summer long.
    Hope it helps.

    I haven't tried the Super LoCo but will as soon as I use up my current Loco balls. The Super Loco is suppose to use the same cover material at the Loco Bite with a lower compression(i think its 65) than the regular Loco. The new softer cover is suppose help around the greens. They advertise that you will get 5 extra yards over the regular Loco ball.

    I initially played the Noodle but switched to the Loco when it first came out. They are very similar balls and the Loco sold for a much better price. Check out the following review at http://www.golfclubreview.com/dunlop_loco.htm

    Hope this helps.
