Ball recomendations for a high spin player?

Recommended Posts

Ever since taking up the game I been a high spin player. Still, at my old age, I spin the ball at times too much. Anyhow, ProV1 has not been good for me as it tends to run out further than ProV1x on the greens. Though higher trajectory, ProV1x has been the better choice, until recently when I tried AVX. For whatever its design, it feels good off my driver and irons, carries a touch further than ProV1, lower trajectory than ProV1x, about the same as ProV1, stops on the greens and putts nice. I take pride in knowing when something works don't fix it. Just bought my first box of AVX.

I am loving the AVX but haven't tried many other low spin options. TPX5 for me was very disappointing

Driver = Callaway Smoke-Ai Max-D 

3 wood = Callaway Smoke-Ai Max HL

3 Hybrid = Taylormade Stealth Pro
Irons = 4-PW Miura KM 700
Gap Wedge = Miura HB 50*

Sand Wedge = Taylormade MG3 TW 56*

Putter = LAB DF3

Ball = TP5x v’s Chrome Tour

I liked the AVX, but felt to soft for me and seemed to lose distance. Been playing the Prov1 since 2017 when I was fitted thanks to GolfWRX and the titleist trip. This year, i was not happy with the new prov, and during the Srixon deal, got 4 dozen xv. I researched both srixon balls and was worried i would not be happy, but it was an experiment. I must say, the driver seems to have less spin and a more piercing (though higher) flight than the pro v. Not much difference in other aspects, maybe a bit less spin in the wedge and short game, a bit.

Thought - a high spinning ball can be influenced by loft/shaft profile and or exaggerated AoA, poor contact or fast hard hit swing, etc. Point is, best to know why one's spins ball more than usual before choosing a ball. My high spin comes from hitting the ball, hard.

Also best to learn how to knock spin off the ball. Probably not in a lot of players' bags and not always in mine. When Im playing well and can manipulate spin/trajectories, I'd rather play the ball with more spin so I can have it when needed.

I honestly have don't really know how to control spin with irons/wedges. I am definitely trying to work on it. I do like it when I can hit it out of the rough/bad lie and it spins and sits where it lands, where other people would struggle to hold the green from there. May have something to do with the height that I hit the ball though

Hitting the ball high means when the ball drops it plops. Creating spin or taking it off for me is about ball position in my stance, length of my backswing, how I transition, how the ball is impacted and style of follow through. I hit the ball comparatively low to others, yet I still stop the ball on the green because of how my clubface impacts the ball creating spin.

This is the shot I’m working on... it’s very helpful... my distance has just been inconsistent due to learning better swing mechanics.
