Balls?!?!?!?

[Big Johnny69]

Just looking for opinions. Would like to hear feedback on others. Looking to pick up one more dozen to finish out my season. Looking at the following:

Maxfli Black Max
Callaway HX Tour
Taylor Made TP (question between the two, which is more like ProV1 and which more like ProV1x)


Want something long off the tee and will check up nicely into a green (with 7 iron to wedges). Awaiting your responses.

[KickerOfElves]

If it's the new HX.Tour, I'd recommend the Callaway...

The TPs are just a little too expensive for what seems to be varied opinions.

[Golfbum]

Geoff you should try the Bridgestone E6 ball. Buy one sleeve and see if you like it. I had a dozen given to me and I really like that ball. Decent off the tee (for an old guy like me to hit it 280 once in awhile) and it seems to hold greens ok.
$30-35/12.

Give a sleeve a try before you buy the more exspensive balls.

[Big Johnny69]

I picked up a sleeve of the E5 today at my course and the owner threw me one E6 to try as well. Going to give them a shot tomorrow. But in case they don't work was looking for other alternatives.

[LobWedge]

Don't laugh...Pinnacle Exception. Seriously.

[Big Johnny69]

Tried 'em. Didn't quite do it for me.

[Hacker]

Geoff is the Mikey of golf.........he'll try ANYTHING!!

[knickers]

Try the Nike Ignite. Very long off the tee, and it doesnt give up much feel with the irons. picked up a dozen with a little left over store credit and are now staying in the bag. The price is great for a high preformance ball too.

[gbower]

My favourite ball right now is the Bridgestone E5. Great distance and lots of spin. Checks really nice on the short chip shots. Have also played the E6 which has good distance but not anywhere as nice on the chip shots. Played with the Precept/Bridgestone rep a few weeks ago and he was pounding the E6 but he doesn't like a higher spin ball like the E5.

[Ginker]

Taylor Made TP Red is the best ball I have ever played. Period.

[John]

Geoff you've got to play the Red TP ball, it is incredible. I have to second Scotty's opinion, the performance is unmatched. It's even superior durability wise to the other high end balls.

[Txxxxxxx]

Taylor Made TP Red is the best ball I have ever played. Period.

I'll vote for this ball too.

I've pretty much played all the new balls this year. I tried the new HX-Tour, hated them because they have a ty cover. Played the B330 and the B330-S. The S is a really nice ball but I don't like it as much as the TP Red. I played the Srixxon ball, the spin one. I liked that one a lot too but the cover was crappy for durability.

If you are worried about cost, get the B330-S, if not, the TP Red is the way to go.

[Big Johnny69]

Just finished a round today with the Bridgestone E5 and have to say I'm impressed. Long off the tee. Good around the greens and on approaches. Might just have to give it a bit more of a test run before I decide on a ball for good.

I've used NXT tours and now I'm playing the HX hot. I like it, gives me great distance off the tee, and I can stick it with any mid to low iron on the green. I find the prov's and the like give me too much side spin, a mild fade will turn into almost a slice. And I can stick the hx hot almost as much as a prov, I don't need it to spin back, just stick when it lands. I do want to try the E6 though, I'll probably go buy a sleeve to try 'em out.

The HX Hot is long, that's for sure. I found it was at least a club longer than the other balls I was playing...I airmailed a pile of greens when I tried it earlier this year.

Hogan tour deep, I'll hook you up with a sleeve when I see you. Actually I'll give you two tour deep and two apex tours.

Product Detail The New Ben Hogan Tour Deep golf ball features a new deep dimple design which gives more distance. The reaction injected urethane cover is the thinnest cover in golf. This is the ultimate in high speed performance.

Features:
• Next generation multi layer for superior performance from tee to green.
• Soft high velocity core for increased distance with soft feel.
• Six deep dimple design improves aerodynamics for more distance.
• Three piece technology.

I kinda like the yellow Pinnacle balls with the dual red stripes that I bought tonight at Kevin Haimes - very nice indeed

They sell those now? Sweet, don't you get about 100 of them for $10?

Well I found one already, brand new, so you just keep loosing them and I will have a sleeve soon enough, hehehe.

I tried the Tour Deep from last summer and liked it but prefer the TP Red.

I recomend the nike ignite golf balls or the nike one platinum. I love them both but i tend to play the ignites a little more for the price.

Did you find Tobu?

[Big Johnny69]

Did you find Tobu?

If Tobu is several drives over 300 yds, then yes, I definately found Tobu.

I've played the Bridgestone and the Callaway, but in the end I keep coming back to the original ProVI. Great ball and a great price from Knetgolf.com. It's hard for me to change. I've been a Titleist guy since May of 1962. I remember the first dozen that I bought! And they never, ever disappoint .... unlike their owner.

[mcnorth]

The Pro V is what I would play if I could shoot straight. But they're too pricey to lose regularly. Great feel everywhere on the course.

I used to play the ProV1, but ever since I've tried the TP Red I haven't been able to go back. I find I get too much spin off the driver with the ProV1 for some reason.

[mjf]

Earlier in the year, I was playing the Maxfli Revolution Tour which I found had excellent spin characteristics for me. However, about a month or two ago I started playing the most recent generation of ProV1s. They don't spin quite as much as the Maxflis but I've picked up about 5 yards of distance on iron shots. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison with the driver though.

As has been stated above, the problem with the ProVs is their price. Fortunately, I haven't been losing all that many balls lately... but I'm sure a 5-ball round is lurking out there somewhere.

For you, Callaway HX Pearl.

Seriously. It's supposed to be the next Precept MC Lady.

Not sure about that. I get enough ribbing as it is now for my pink driver shaft and pink Yes putter. Don't need to add to the fire.

Thanks to this thread I went out and bought a dozen TP red golf balls and used them at our final Sunday league outing. I think it's a great ball, It goes long off of the tee (farther than Pro V1's) and are quite good around a greens. None of my shots ballooned and all shots stopped quickly on the green without excessive backspin. Took some of my winnings and purchased a dozen TP blacks, I can't wait to see how far those suckers will fly . Thanks for the insight!!!
