Golf Game Secrets

Has anyone played the Nike Ignite or Titleist NXT Extreme Golf Balls? They price is about the same for both as the Bridgestone balls. They all read like they do the same thing from each company’s website. I did like the Bridgestone E6 balls I was able to test for the most part. Just curious what feedback some others who have played them think of them.

I am a high handicapper (around a 28) so need something that has low spin. I sometimes slice, but most of the time it is a nice little fade. My chipping is improving, as well as my short game. So, I would like something that feels soft and will hold the green.

I have been using 2 piece balls like the Top Flite Super Straight XL 5000 but it feels like hitting a rock and I hate that. I’d like a ball that is a little softer feel.

Basically I need a ball that spins very little to reduce the sidespin on my ball. But, I won’t the best of both worlds and have something soft around the green. Has anyone played a
Golfblog,
I had considered the Callaway Hot but your review, as well as others I have read, don’t see to give me what I am looking for on and around the green. I guess it is more important that I play well around and on the green than to hit it longer since you only hit a driver about 14 times a round. It seems your review of the Bridgestone E6 confirmed this. Now my question is, for others, how they compare against the Nike Ignite Ball and the Titleist NXT Extreme ball?

I currently use the Top Flight Gamer and Nike Soft golf balls. I’ve read all of the reviews which are typically hyped up by someone getting kickbacks from their sales. I play decent golf (mid 80’s) and have been making great progress in my play but I am having difficulty finding a ball that “feels” good. I like the Nike Soft but read on the package that the ball is not intended for people who swing above 100mph, and I swing 105mph with a driver and 85mph with my 7 iron. The Nike obviously feels softer than the TF Gamer but I hit the gamer a bit straighter (less spin because of harder compression…I know the mechanics of it).

Can anyone recommend a ball that has really good “feel” as well as decent control? I have heard that the Taylormade Burners and Bridgestone E5 and E6’s are good but never hit any of them and at $30 a case, I’d rather not buy and regret. I know that I love the feel of the Titleist PROV1’s but can’t afford to go out and buy a dozen for $43 bucks (the wife would kill me). Is there anything that feels like the PROV1 and provides similar control with low irons? I am not too worried about distance as I hit fairly long anyhow but extra yards dont hurt. : )

Thanks in advance, and please tell why you think the ball is better than the Gamer or Nike Soft. Thanks again!
I have also read alot about ball construction and cover design, but that still doesnt say which ball is best. I am looking for feel and distance with moderate control. Nike seems to be the middle of the road for all of the above but which model? Thanks again and check out: http://www.learnaboutgolf.com/equipment/balls.html#more
