Collecting balls for a shootout! Hello winter! Any other suggestions?

Coming into Winter here now in Melbourne and with the release of some new balls I'm going to look at getting a new one in the bag.

Current Gamer is Prov1x which I have been playing for quite a while now. I also really like the TP5.

 

Shootout will be between

 

13' Prov1x

14' Nike RZN Black

14 'Tour Pref - X

14' B330

 

Ill get 2 sleeves of each and work from the green back to the tee box.

Really looking forward to comparing these balls.

 

What I'm looking for in a ball is something Long off the tee. It doesnt have to be the longest though as length off the tee is a strength of my game.

Av 108mph SS which isnt huge. I carry the ball around 280yrds with some nice roll. I dont want to give any driver distance away so it needs to be on par or close too as the prov1x

Mid irons I like to feel the ball, hit the club. A flushed ball with a softer tour ball is like butter I cant even feel it which I dont like at all.

 

Short irons, pitch shots and greenside play I dont need the ball spinning back, just for it to hop and stop.

 

Any other ball recommendations let me know!

Ill try and give a good comparison once Im all done!

 

Cheers!

Give the rzn platinum a shot. A bit more spin than the black around the greens but still long off the driver with good feel on the irons and wedges. I've played rounds with the rzn black, prov1x, and rzn platinum this year and I'm becoming a huge fan of the platinum.

For the record my swing speed is ~110mph with driver as well so we are similar in that regard.

Thanks for the response!
Sure ill give it a go! If I can get something that still long and stable off the tee and long irons/metals in but get a nice feel and spin around the greens then thats perfect.
