Your ball for 2019

Plus, one Matte finish balls are not good. They get dirty easy and do not have the same feel as a shiny ball. Hope this trend goes away.

Would be interested in seeing what your final choice is!

MTB Black

[LeftDaddy]

‘19 V1x. Love the ‘19 version!

[flushem]

Snell MTB Black Yellow though I will test MTB X soon

[noodle3872]

2019 Pro V1 as it stands right now. More testing of the Mizuno RB Tour balls may change my selection. AVX could sneak into the conversation too.

[ivygynonc]

did a ball fitting with driver and 6 iron.

Titleist ProV1, ProV1x, TP5X, AVX, some srixon ball and one other I cannot recall.

 

prov1 was best from spin, launch, ball speed, peak trajectory, angle of decent, distance, etc.

 

Ordered the buy 3 get one free. Came from years of prov1x. and I mean many years. Messed around with the tp5x (excellent. ball) and AVX (too little short game spin for me) a little last year and hence the reason for the ball fitting under the gcquad this year.

I've been testing balls the last week or two, the remaining balls are the Z-Star XV, TP5, TP5x, ProV1, and ProV1x. Found a Vice Pro Plus and thought it was surprisingly good, a little too much spin for me but I was impressed. Likely leaning toward the ProV1x every day and the ProV1 in windy days. Been pretty impressed with everything I've tried, not really a bad ball on the market anymore, at least in the premium segment.

[Song Dog]

RB Tour seems to really do well for me. Could lean on the Q Star Tour some.

[jonnymc44]

I've got a dozen Chromesofts and 2 dozen Bridgestone B XS.

I played a full round with the Chromesoft on Saturday and was thoroughly impressed with its durability. Hit quite a few wedges and it didn't cut up. Driving was average so couldn't tell how long it was but the drives I did hit well I was pretty happy with. Very receptive on the greens. My irons come in quite high so they pretty much stopped in their pitchmarks. Will be changing it up this weekend and will play the B XS.

I played a round alternating between the 2019 Pro V1 and the AVX and found them to be pretty similar for me. Distance off of the driver was the same, just different ball flights (Pro V1 climbed a bit more). Distance off of my irons was similar, AVX may be a touch longer and a lower flight. And around the greens the Pro V1 had more spin and definitely feels better than the 2017 version.

 

I'll update once I play a bit with the TP5

[burns9304]

2019 TP5X will be the choice for me this year. Coming from the 2017 ProV1 (played for the past 2 years), the TP5X is better in the wind for me. I actually prefer the firmer feel of the TP5X over the softer ProV1.

[Evilduckhunter]

MTBX for me this year once they come in. Till then and my back up is MTB Black and the ZStar.

[NoTalentLefty]

Titleist DT TruSoft until further notice.

[leo the lion]

Going to give the AVX some air time over the coming weeks

[Choclab]

I think it'll be the Z-Star. Maybe the XV although I usually like a softer ball. (Haven't tried the '19 XV yet.)

Will probably try the Wilson Duo Pro at some point as I loved the Duo U. But it's hard for them to compete with the Srixons at $20/dozen.

[coachemup]

I played the AVX last year and the Bridgstone RX for years before that. I have settled on the Mizuno RB Tour this year and won't be looking back.

you gotta give Pinnacle Soft a chance. the same company but cheaper

[Abelvis]

Pearl Golf balls.. Pure Pro or Pure Pro X

[NRJyzr]

Going to have a golfball-playoff of sorts. Have some Snell MTB Black I will give some play, and will compare with a combination of the Duo Urethane/Duo Professional. I guess I've developed a preference for the lower compression stuff.

 

Also have some FG Tours and ZStars that will get some play, running out what's left of the stash, but the above are leading at the moment.

[G-Bone]

After some pretty heavy testing it came down to 2019 Pro V1 and 2019 TP5x.

 

The winner for me after lots of on course testing is 2019 Pro V1.

 

Here is the review I posted if you are interested in how new V1 and TP5x stacked up against each other, for me.

[jbsg02]

I still have so many K-Sigs and TP5X's, enough for the next 3-4 years haha

[gpleonard]

Bridgestone E12 Soft.. Better ball than you think.

[chinaski]

Z-Star. Nothing comes close when considering price. I've switched back and forth with the XV the last couple years, but I'm putting more priority on short game and putting this year(75% practice-was less than 50% the last few years) and I love the soft feel and spin of the Z.

[Joe V.]

Z-Star

 

Second year for me. This ball just checks all the boxes for my game. They are incredibly durable too.

 

I've been buying up the trial packs everywhere in my travels, so I'm likely set with balls through next year.

[tsecor]

chromesoft or Wilson Pro.......gotta start saving some money so ill be hitting the "cheaper" balls most likely......chromesoft may not be an option this year at $45+

[Albatross71]

trying the Mizuno RB Tour X, but most likely going back to Titleist AVX

[tsecor]

After spending quite a bit of time testing balls this spring, I've settled on the following top 5.

1. Snell MTB Black (played Snell quite a bit ever since they came out)

2. Bridgestone Tour B RX (played this for a few months last year and pretty close to MTB, but also more expensive)

3. Callaway Chromesoft (this was my game before I switched to the MTB when it came out)

4. Titleist ProV1 (lots to like except for the price and does not fit my game as well as top 3)

5. Callaway ERC (good ball and long, but too expensive for the performance ranking I've experience)
