What ball are you most excited to try?

[jjfcpa]

So many new balls or updated balls this season.  I know everyone says, pick a ball and just keep playing it, but with all the new updates, that may be easier said than done.

 

Last year, I played the Maxfli Tour for most of the year.  I'm most excited about the new Z Star and new Pro V1.

 

For 2021, I'm going to start with the Titleist Pro V1 and then compare it to the Maxfli Tour, Srixon Z Star (2021), and Bridgestone B RX (2021).  I'm sure I could play any of these, but I really want to do some comparison rounds early and then decide and stick with the one that performs the best.  What will I do if there's a tie?  No idea.  Maybe flip a coin.

The extra short game spin of the new tp5x has my attention. Played last year with that ball and loved everything about it excluding that extra bit of bite I was used to with wedges coming from v1x the year prior.

BXS and TP5. Always been a titleist guy back to the Professional, Tour Prestige, and Tour Balata days. Looking forward to checking out the Bridgestone and TM product that catches so much attention.

Played Pro V1 Left Dash last season and really enjoyed it. The TP5x was pretty close for be, but interested to give the new TP5x a go

Left Dash was an awesome ball. The thing just went dead straight for me and long long long. TP5X had better greenside spin for sure but, Left Dash was a more durable package.

LD was quite a bit better for me in the wind also. The aerodynamics of the new TaylorMade balls have me intrigued.

Working my way through the new offering. Pro V1 LD is winning, Tried regular Pro V1 - it is not making the cut. Pro V1X next up. 

[Jonesy]

Interested in the new TP5 and the new ProV1... Looking for more durability

[sevenfourate]

Cant wait for the new TM offerings. Current TP5 user - but likely a little spinny for me long-game wise. Tried the TP5X - just found its durability so bad: along with the short-game / greenside spin of course. Or lack of it.....

 

So - REALLY looking forward to trying the new TP5X in Yellow. Short-game prowess sounds like it should be improved. And Yellow Urethane should help (sort ?) the durabilty issues.

 

Anyway; soon as they become available and as soon as we're allowed to get out and play in the UK - i'm all over these.............

I think that was a hair before my time. At least, before I played more seriously. You're not the first person to mention that ball to me.

2021 Kirkland 4-piece

[Highlander 24]

Looking forward to the TP5x for me. The softer cover definitely has peaked my interest 

[zebra2955]

Maxfli tour

[JohnKHawk]

Interested in trying the Bridgestone E12 Contact. Will probably stick with the Maxfli Tour if the E12 doesn't work out. Been playing the Maxfli Tour since it's release & it works well for my game.

[Hat Trick]

Fell in love with the 2020 Chrome Soft last year and played great with it.  Might just stick with it and not be tempted by new Pro Vs or TPs...   

 

Of course that probably won't happen and I'll get the itch to try them all!

[Natural1]

Been playing for 4 decades and the TP5X is the best ball for me that I've ever played. My only wish was for a little more short game spin. According to marketing that's exactly what we are getting. If that's true, and if it's still the same ball with full shots, that would be awesome!

[MakersMarsh3]

If TP5X can spin a bit more inside 100y, I'm very interested

Surprised people have issues with durability/wind, that's where I think they shine

If TP5 can be made better then I will be surprised 

 

New ProV1 stuff is very similar, nothing huge, some tour/college guys I know are saying a bit more durable and feels better greenside

TP5x

[kwainio]

I'll echo everyone else and say TP5x. Every time I hit the 19 version it felt like an absolute rock, excited for the changes.

[Ryno]

Z Star and TP5.  Didn't like the last version of the Z Star quite as much as prior models.  Want to see the difference in the yellow on this version of TP5 as well.

[anth]

Keen to see how the TP5/TP5X compare to the current range. I play the X now but it’s not the best feeling ball.

 

Also keen to see how the new Srixon will play 

[powerplay007]

New ProV1x

[Tanner25]

Callaway Max in yellow - the Magna was a good idea for the intended audience. But, the ball lacked distance and feel. Hopefully, they got it right this time.

[belh22]

I think Callaway is coming out with a new version of the chrome soft X that I will be ready to try

[Tre4ISU]

Probably the TP5X. I'll wait for you guys to tell me if it's as good as the BX all-around. It sounds like it's supposed to be that but I'm skeptical they can match what Bridgestones cover is doing for their ball.

[MattM97]

Probably the TP5, I'm playing the X but think it goes a bit too high for me, great ball but just want something a touch lower. Also have the Tour BX and might grab some Snell, new Srixon, Wilson and hell maybe Chrome Soft. 

[belephant]

Planning to switch from prior gen tour BX into the current gen tour BX...  might pick up a dozen left dash though

In this order:

 

New TP5X

New TP5

New ProV1X

New ProV1
