Lowest spinning ball options


Recommended Posts

Good evening, WRX’ers. I come in search of some wisdom. I need a ball that’s low spinning. Was playing 2022 BX and had good results, the new version spins too much with mid irons and down. 
 

Currently playing left dash and that’s works well but not a huge fan of the sound at impact….pretty loud.

 

What alternatives are there besides AVX? I’m nervous about losing too much ball speed with the super low compression.

 

anyway, fire away with suggestions and your experiences.

 

thanks for the help!

I’ve heard that the Chrome Tour is very similar to the Chrome Soft LS, but not as firm. 
 

I’m a pretty high spin player and I play the ProV1. Works great for me but ymmv 

ProV’s are close but still a touch too much spin. I find 8 iron and under I spin back shots with a stock swing.

Titleist AVX and Chrome Tour would be good ones to try.

This year's TP5X and Chrome Tour are both outstanding balls in my opinion. I'm also high spin by nature and find these give me excellent control but a better, more piercing flight than a higher-spin ball. TP5X perhaps a touch more workable if you like that, whereas Chrome Tour is so, so straight and reliable. 

 

Good luck!

Do you have any experience with Srixon XV?

I have played them for a brief period, and to be honest no particular reason why I don’t currently (I just love trying and testing stuff lol). I do like Triple Track and Pix markings which is one reason I gravitate towards Cally/TM currently. 
 

XV is a really solid ball too. I found it quite similar to Left Dash - high, low spin, appreciable check around the greens. I believe it’s regarded as an excellent wind ball also, but I haven’t ever tested it hard in that capacity. I would definitely put it in your testing mix however if that’s why you ask, they are generally a good bit cheaper than the other brands which helps!

I played them maybe 4 years ago when I first started really getting into golf but a seam or crack would appear rather quickly. Been a while since I tried them so glad to get some info on them. 
 

seems like the next 2 balls to try are the CST and XV, if no luck there maybe give the tp5x a go.

 

thanks again for the insight!

I've not seen this seam issue myself... could be a lucky box, or maybe they improved it haha. Good luck!
