    Bob, I am recently using Srixon XV and finding they get really dull quickly? Now i am thinking that because its wet, and cleaning it a lot with a new navy blue towel, it might be the dye.

    I lost the one I had too quickly to see if I got any noticeable backspin on full wedge shots into the green, all the holes I played with it didn't require a shot like that, but despite every description I've read it launched higher with the driver than the TP5x balls do which I didn't like. A couple were my own doing but not all. I'll grab a sleeve at some point and give them another go, at least I'll be able to keep going if I lose one.

    Not something I've noticed. Although I've been using yellow XVs lately and white in the regular z stars (with no issues with them). Are you using the 2019 or new 2021 model?

    It's funny how ball performance depends so much on the user & I guess their swing & clubs, etc. I've had people who were shocked when I said I didn't like the TP5x's durability, because fo them they're good.

    I dont know what it is, its from ball winnings at the club. I assume latest but never checked. I cant lose them faster (and i lose balls every round) than i win them so I am stuck with them for now

    Its a fair chance i am right about the towel, only noticed last round because the ball lasted the round. I was thinking surely it wouldnt lose so much whiteness, even more than ProV did before.

    this surprises me, Srixon have always been uber white from my experience. It was the old Maxfli Revos and Titleist balls that went grey for me after about 9 holes

    If you want a ball that discolours, try the Wilson Staff Model R (otherwise a really good ball).

    I used a regular z-star the other day for 9 holes, no discolouration, the usual scuffing. That's actually where the Model R shine - no paint to scuff, so they're actually really durable.

    4 dozen more TP5X on sale from GCO.
    I'm going to need another locker at the club to fit them all in.

    Thanks, i think i worked it out, i have black gripmasters and the dye gets smudged on everything so I expect i get some on the ball too, I changed my ball touching and cleaning habits this weekend and they have stayed much whiter.

    First person to make a silly comment, I will send a picture of them.

    I've only hit a few balls on the launch monitor so far, but yes, very much so.

    Just swapped the Tensei CK Orange into my TS3. Really enjoying the flight over the Smoke I had in previously. A lot more feel over the smoke, and I really feel I can get into a drive.

    Very late to the party, but just picked up a Taylor Made Sim with Hzrdus Green 6.5. Haven’t used a TM driver for ages - I think the last one was an R1 (which I hated). Early signs are promising though, and the shaft feels great.

    Not quite what I bought but what I managed to win. Was fortunate to have won the recent Cobra win a driver competition on Instagram. Today arrived a 10.5 degree RadSpeed driver with ProjectX Hzrdus Smoke Blue shaft in stiff flex.
