Another vote for Gamer V2. Don't know much about the compression of these balls, but you might try Bridgestone E5, Srixon TriSpeed Tour or Callaway HX Bite.

The AD333 is a 2-piece surlyn ball, so I wouldn't consider it to have "good greenside spin" by any means. If you are looking for cheap it is hard to beat the Gamer V2 which is the only 3-piece normally priced under $20 / dozen. Golfsmith had some 15 ball packs of the Gamer V2 on clearance for $14.97 and I think they may have even had 25% off clearance on top of that.

Actually the AD333 has the highest amount of driver and irons spin that any ball in it class, even more spin than many of the 3 piece 'Tour' priced Balls.
The problem (as noted by the original poster) is that it is low compression. Approx 80

Also, the original Gamer had more feel and spin than does the V2, and it was softer. Gamer compression is around 98, thus a good choice for his swing speed.

I agree cornbread, The AD333 will check on a dime when struck right around greens And it will back up on iron shots Its just that its too soft and I compress them too much thus causes me to lose quite a bit of distance atleast with my driver!

the gamer v2 and TM Burner TP would both be my choices. love both golf balls. the Burner TP can be had for fairly cheap depending on where yo get them, but normally are $22-$24/doz. it is a 3 piece

Irons: TaylorMade P790, 5-PW; Mitsubishi MMT 110g
Hybrids: Ping G425 19*

I'll go to my default suggestion in the TaylorMade TP Black LDP. 4 piece construction, urethane cover, high compression, great spin, stable in the wind, decently durable, rolls great off the putter face, and can be had for $25/dz or less! At $2 per ball find me something better.

Haiku as a sig?
They may be overrated
But I'm rocking one!

Data speaks for itself (especially the Diablo spinning nearly 10% more than the AD333). Keep in mind that the OP mentioned good "greenside" spin meaning half shots and less which is where any surlyn ball (especially a 2 piece) will suffer and the AD333 is no different. I don't want to argue, but there is plenty of hard data out there to support my point.
