There are no "non urethane" balls that will spin close to a urethane ball, believe me I've tried and tried; but 3 pc. surlyn/ionomer balls that have a tad more spin than others within the same category that I've tried = Srixon Tri Speed Tour. Not sure about your swing speed and what ball(s) you are used to, but I've also had some luck w/ the Top Flite Gamer Tour. It's softish and does not have as much spin into the greens as other urethane balls. Of course YMMV.

Simply play the shot that conditions require. Often you can't hit a full shot into a green. Simply learn to play a stronger club with a slower swing. This will take spin off the ball. Its much easier to reduce spin on a urethane ball than to try to add spin to a surlyn ball. Moving away from urethane will cost you in playability.

Not going to happen, I'm a good ball striking low Handicap, but I'm not going to hit a shot tour pro's struggle with just cause the ball may spin back too much. Especially when I have a yardage that is perfect for a full swing. I'd rather change the ball.

Try a sleeve of the 2014 NXT tour or tour-s. It has a unique trajectory - it sails far and then drops almost vertical. Not the best for roll out on drives but it holds greens.

The only non-urethane ball I will play is the Callaway Supersoft. The ball is very good everywhere and ridiculous for the price.

It's become apparent that I can no longer play a urethane ball. Due to the wetness of the greens at my home course and my spin rate, I continually spin balls back 15-25 feet with anything lower than 8iron.

So can anyone recommend a non-urethane ball that has chips, putts, and pitches similar to a urethane ball.
[/quote]What ball are you currently playing? I'm by no means a fan of bridgestone, but based on what I've read and heard the b330 may be a fit for you.
