I have returned to the game after a thirty year hiatus.

I always played Titleist balata balls.

I'm currently playing Pro V1x.

Any current balls spin like balata into the green?

Ahhh, no. The one you're playing along with the Bridgestone B series and a few others are considered the highest spinning you will find.

BTW, the DTC (Direct to Consumer) balls like Snell and Vice should not be ignored. I have played the Vice Pro since it was introduced and it will stay with the others no problem.

TXG recently tested an old Titleist Pro 90 and a Pro V1x. The newer balls spin just as much around the green as the older ones. Where the old balls spin more is off mid to long irons, fairways, and the driver.

If you watch TXG, they recommend the Mizuno Tour RB as the spinniest ball they've tested so far.
