[Scratch N Stick]

What city/state are you located?
Houston, TX
Current Handicap
Currently +0.6.
Have you participated in testing for GolfWRX before?
No.
What's your current 'gamer' ball and why?
Srixon Z-Star XV, picked them up a few years ago and loved the feel off the wedges, the skin didn't feel as though it was peeling off with every strike as if it was a Clementine. They felt as though they compressed well with solid strikes yet provided great trajectory control. Oh, and they stay shiny white too...
What balls did you try recently?
SR3, SR2, B-330RX, Chrome soft, New ProV1X.
What's your swing speed with your driver?
110.
Do you agree to participate in an ongoing discussion and post your review/feedback of on this mystery golf ball?
Of course.

[bailman]

I'm in the Detroit, MI area. I'm a 3 hdcp. I usually play the regular proV1, but recently decided to give the B330s a go. My average driver swing speed is 115. I will gladly play them, provide pictures and commentary, and participate in any discussions related to the ball. I have never been a WRX tester. I will give you honest, non biased reviews. Thanks for considering me.

14.7 Hcp
No product testing yet
I currently play the Srixon XV yellow. Durability is the main reason as well as ball identification. It's a great feeling ball for me and does what I want around the greens.....mostly.
I've tried the Pro V1, Pro V1x mainly. I keep coming back to Srixon because of the durability. I will be trying the Chrome soft as well.
SS is around 102.
I would love to provide the experience of a mid handicap with this ball.

[cz13X4]

I'm in salt lake city utah
I'm a 9 index
yes I have done testing for the elements chrome
current ball is a b330s 2012. I got a good deal on a few dozen and they served me well. I love the predictable spin and soft feel. They hold greens well and feel great on putts.
I have tried the rife v motion. .fg tour..Callaway hex chrome...new pro v1..and b330.
Driver ss is around 110
And yes I will participate in discussion for a new ball. I am about out of balls so I'm looking to get a bunch more and I'd love to do some trial and error with something different.

I have never tested a golf product, but would be happy to write a review of the golf balls And participate in any discussion.

I currently play the Titleist ProV1x because I like the higher launch and it has plenty of spin for me around the greens. I have tried most the urethane covered balls currently on the market.

My driver swing speed is mid to high nineties.

At GolfWRX, we love to give membership the ability to test the latest and greatest from all equipment manufacturers. We appreciate the time and effort the membership takes to write the best Member Reviews on the planet.

15 members will be chosen as testers based on applications below. You'll be provided a dozen shiny, new, USGA-legal unmarked golf balls in blank packaging. Your job is to put them in play, post photos, opinions and anything else you think is relevant in a Member Review Thread. After all is said and done, we'll reveal the ball you are playing. Interested? Read on.
