Beat Mid-Range Ball? Opinions wanted

[kippjr23]

I have read everywhere.

I am a higher handicap (shoot low 90s) that wants to reduce sidespin off the tee. I am around a 95mph SS.

 

I so prefer some bite around the Greens though and My iron shots dont need to hit around the flag and roll off.

 

Any suggestions?

Been looking at

Srixon Q Star- Heard mixed reviews

Srixon Z Star- Would it be too spinny off driver?

Srixon Soft Feel- How much Bite?

Taylormade Project (A)- My number 1 choice so far

Titleist NXT Tour- Not sure, But its titleist

Bridgestone E6- Heard bad reviews around Green

Nike RZN White- I like Nike so through it in here

 

I am super indecisive and want yalls help!

Thanks

Have you thought about the Callaway Supersofts? The price point is pretty similar to the other balls you have listed.

95mph ss, need to reduce spin off the tee, mid price point, = E6 or Q-Star...IMO would be two to have a look at.

Gamer Soft or Gamer Tour depending on how much bite you need. There's also the Wilson 50 Elite. No need to go with a more expensive ball.

Callaway Super soft, Titleist Trusoft and NXT Tour S, Wilson 50 double dz. are best bang for the buck.

Check out Snell. Two models and different price points and discounts for buying six dozen. He also sells a test pack that lets you compare the two models. Also has a chart online that compares various manufacturer models to his.

 

I'm currently between these and Project (a).

Another vote for any Gamer line. Also enjoy the Bridgestone e series offerings.

End of thread right here. Q-Star isn't quite as straight but it does bite around the greens.

 

Get some used off of lostgolfballs - they are pretty darned cheap that way.

$2/ball for brand new balls, this is an awesome deal: http://taylormadegolf.com/Lethal-50-Pack/DW-SY652.html

Now place an order for them darnit! Now!*

 

*Just trying to help on the indecisiveness.

I'm assuming you have read reviews on sub 2016 e6's because I played those for a little while this season and I could spin those back with my 54 & 58. It would only be a foot or so, or just one bounce and stop but it's not ridiculous. Long irons the roll out was 15-20 feet or so but IMHO, the 2016 e6 is the best bang for your buck with regards to reducing side spin. Plus, it's long. I was 5-10 yards longer than my Chrome soft off the tee with it.

 

Stay away from the Project (A) balls. They're super light and spin like crazy. I blind tested those balls and they are no bueno if you're trying to reduce side spin. Not to mention, they play like dog crap in the wind. Wind takes em for a ride like nobodies business.

Volvik Vibe hands down no questions what so ever

I know this is a 2014 chart but it gives you an idea.. it is with 95mph driver speed too, so right up your alley. Only a few hundred rpm difference between most but every bit helps.

The latest Srixon Q Star is pretty decent. Good feel and they have the spin skin technology. They stop fairly quick on the greens. Plus now they are 2 dozen for $40 which is nice.

I second the Q Star. In fact, other than the added spin on the Z Star, I find they perform similarly. I also shoot low 90s(usually 90 to 98 max) and I recently switched to the Q Stars and dont regret it. I attack the pin, and they have enough bite into the greens to make them worth it.

The E6 is so straight it's hard to not play it. Not very much check-up-ability on the green though

wilson 50 ELITE!!!

How did you like the e6's around the green with short chips and pitch shots? Have you played with supersofts and if so how do they compare?
