Need direction on golf balls to try

Looking for balls that launch higher
I'm currently trying to figure out golf balls to try out that launch higher. I'm currently using Taylormade Burner TPs, and I do like them. I don't like them nearly as much as the Bridgestone e5+ that I used previously. I liked the launch that I would get off the driver and spin around the green with the Bridgestones. I'm looking at lostgolfballs, and I am confused by some of the ball choices as far as spin goes. I'm a lower spin player, and do know that if you don't create enough spin, the ball won't cary as far. My specific question would be, would balls like the Nike One Platinum and Taylormade TP Reds give me a higher launch angle than the One Black and TP Black? The descriptions seem to say so for someone who doesn't spin the ball a lot. Could someone clear this up for me, or maybe explain it a little better to me.

Any explanation or other ball recommendations that would give me a higher launch would be great. If it helps any, my swing speed is between 100-105, and I will shoot anywhere between 86-100 (still working on consistency). My drives are between 240-270 yds GPS measured, and I'll hit my 8 iron about 150 yds. My preference on a golfball would be one with better control around the green, and I usually will use 1-3 balls per round, so I'm not concerned with cost because I'll be buying from lostgolfballs. Thanks in advance.

Try the Wilson Staff FG Tours. They are by far my favorite balls this year. Don't know why, I just feel like they are about as well balanced as anything else out there, sans maybe the penta, and they have an unbelievable price point.

3W - 07 Burner TP TS/Mitsubishi Diamana Blueboard 73g

The taylormade LDP TP black is high launching, very long and high spinning.

The Srixon Z-star, is high launching very soft and high spinning.

Nike Tour D is high launching, soft feeling and lower spinning than the other two balls

BS tour 330RX is very soft, high launching however lower spin than the others mentioned.


These would be my suggestions since you wanted many. These will all work well for your requirements and all will spin more around the greens than the E5+ or Burner, while not giving up much if any distance with better feel.

Ping 430 LST 9* set to 7.5*  ventus TR blue 6x

Callaway Paradym 💎💎💎3+ Kai'li 70x

Ping g425 max 7 wood set to 19* w Ventus TR blue 8X

Srixon ZX utility 23* Ventus Black 9tx

Srixon ZX-7 5-AW, Project X 6.5 LZ

Cleveland RTX mid bounce 56 and 60 DG S400

Odyssey metal x milled 2-ball mid, 

Srixon Z-Star 💎
