Have you found your ball for 2018? TP5 for me.

Ive been playing the TP5x, but think I might switch back to the TP5. I hit the X almost a full club further, but I cant control my irons as well. In the past few rounds Ive had the occasional wedge that goes 8 to 10 yards further than I think it should. I will gladly sacrifice some distance if it means I can control my short irons better.

Q star or q star tour. Perfect for my swing speed. And the fact I can find the for 16/dozen and 20/dozen at the moment is a big plus in my book. I've been stocking up.

Taylormade Sim Ti 15° Diamana ZF 70 stiff

Cobra F7 4-5 Ti 18.5° Diamana Kai'li 80 stiff

Once I get over this back injury I'll be starting with my stash of Z Star XV trial packs (still have about 6 dozen left) then switching to the TP5 once I get my game back together. As others have mentioned, I loved the 5X but it is slightly unpredictable and I already hit a higher ball than most so the TP5 does great for me.

I tried a lot of different brand this year

CS18, CSX18, QStar Tour, BX, BXS, AVX, Snell Black, and TP5x. (TP5 last year) the ball that fit my low flight and high spin was the TP5X. Higher flight and less spin is what I needed.

Dr: TSi3 10 Ventus Red 6s

F: TS2 16.5 Ventus Red 7s

H: 915h 18 and 24 diamana s+

I: P770 5-PW Steelfiber i95s

W: MG3 49, 54, 58 dg115

P: Scotty Cameron Flowback 5.5 w/      custom CT Tour shaft (custom red,white,blue paint fill with stars & stripes headcover)

B: BX / TP5X

TP5X for me.... and it will probably stay that way as long as TaylorMade keeps making them.

 

I say that as a guy that has 4 boxes of brand new personalized '15 ProV1x's in the garage that are now collecting dust. I really need to just sell those Titleist balls and just move on.

I did a ball fitting this past weekend, and the new Prov1x won. It blew my mind. Ive been a Taylormade guy ever since the first version of the TPx, and I never saw myself playing Titleist. The new Taylormade balls have been strange for me at times. I want a high flight, but also a lot of spin from 100 yards and in. Neither Taylormade ball this year really did both for me extremely well. The ProV1x does. Guess its time to shell out some more money...

Before you do shell out some more money, give us a try. Check out this article from Golf Digest. Not sure why you'll need to pay more money for spin...

Bought the Snell trial pack and the MTB Red seems to consistently produce pars and the occasional birdie. Also bogeys, but not very many. That's good enough for me.

Callaway Mavrik Max 10.5°
Callaway XR 16 3 wood
Callaway Mavrik Max 3 thru 5 hybrids
Srixon z565 6 thru PW
48°, 52° & 58° Cleveland CBX wedges
Ping Sigma 2 Kushin C flat stick

All subject to change in the blink of an eye.........and I blink a lot.

I just played 9 comparing the v1x and the B-stone tour X. I'll be going with Bridgestone. They are as close in performance as I've ever seen two different balls. The buy 2 for 70 won out.

I'll have to be honest though and want to hear how you guys feel about this. I never thought of testing Taylormade, Srixon, Ksig or anyone else due to they weren't made in the USA. Did any of you guys keep that in mind or not think about it and just buy what you wanted?

Been a die hard Chrome Soft Truvis guy for the past year. Love the ball and it does everything I want it to perfectly.

 

But standing in front of the TP5 display last night at PGA Superstore and thinking about just how many people on here are loving this ball made me pick up a dozen to try out. Damn you GolfWRX! LOL

I was playing the TP5x last year, but made the switch to the 2018 Chromesoft. I felt like I got a lot of similar characteristics as the TP5x, but with added feel/softness when putting.

Titleist TSR3 10* Tensei 1k Black 7x 44.5"

Titleist TSR3 16.5* Tensei 1k Black 7x 42.5"

Cobra F6 Baffler 19.5* Diamana Blueboard 8x 41.25"

Titleist U505 4i Tensei 1k Black 8x

With the Z Star promotion going on right now I stocked up and I will be playing them for all of 2018 and 2019 easily.

 

Z-Star XV for me for the foreseeable future based on these promotions haha.

 

Not to mention that the XV is in the conversation for best ball out there, and performs about as well as anything for me, for half or less than half the price when you stock up during their deals.
