Which golf ball spins the most?

Hammer_Hands · February 29

I'm curious if anyone has a reputable source that has tested which of the major manufacturer's premium golf balls spins the most on iron/wedge/greenside shots?

For example, I know that ProV1X is the highest spinning Titleist ball, and that TP5 is the highest spinning TM ball, and so forth.

But I want to know which one is the spinniest across the major manufacturers.

Any help?

PXG. Bridgestone XS. And if you want high inconsistent spin go Kirkland.

Because the nature of spin is reliant on user technique and equipment, doubt anyone would do such a costly study, it wouldn't be accurate.

Google 2023 Golf ball test. You’ll see a robotic test done by the other site. It will let you sort by swing speed and sort by spin.

The previous Kirkland ball. Not in a good way.

The TP5 and BXS within the standard Tour compression range.

The V1x is the obvious choice in the higher compression group.

Another interesting choice is the BRXS. It combines high launch across the set with high spin. From a stopping power standpoint, it may be the best.

TP5 spun more than any ball I ever played

Again that is me, your results will vary

What's your swing speed with the driver and 7i?

It's not objective or scientifically determined data but a lot of guys I play with use the KIRKLAND balls and they subjectively, to my eyes and as experienced by the guys playing them, spin more than the usual Pro V1 or whatever "Tour" ball.

I recently found one on the course and decided to amuse myself during a slow solo round by experimenting. I hit it about 8 times into a stiff breeze and 5-6 times downwind. It went every bit as long as a Pro V1 downwind and came up a club shorter than Pro V1 into the wind so I think that's a semi-objective confirmation that it's a high spinner.

One place the KIRKLAND definitely seems to spin is out of bunkers. When our greens get really firm, low clubhead speed guys tend to have bunker shots roll all the way across the green. The ones who play the KIRKLAND balls seem to get some check (nothing extreme, just rolling out 10-15 feet instead of 30-40) but again, that's purely subjective.
