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
