    Default What's your current ball?

    Just curious what everyone is currently using ball wise? and why?

    I'm interested in two balls this year. Taylormade TP5/X & Chrome Soft/X

    Good idea.

    This! Would love to try the Mizzy balls! (for the right price of course)

    The $40 dozen a Tour-B330 I bought for VICs were pretty decent. Good in the wind, not overly spinny that one would stop, the next zip back off the front. Just nice and consistent.

    Whatever was in Grumpy8's bag.
    It will be 23 games before he notices any missing.

    Just started using NXT Tour-S as I got a box of the last year. (Usually, prefer TM TP.)
    Will probably stick with NXT Tour-S, when I empty the ball drawer.

    I was using Chrome Soft most of last year, because the superseded model was affordable (and given some soccer balls). But would rather buy Srixon Soft Feel for the same results, than pay a premium price for a Chrome Soft.

    I only keep one new ball in my bag , is usually all I need , plus I don't buy the chrome soft , as long as I win a ball every couple of games I end up in front . I had 22 balls in the book until I cashed some in for a dozen chromes for oz champs

    Currently, Srixon AD333, Q Star, Z Star, B330RSX, Tour Preferred, Project A, Pro V1 and Pro V1X, basically whatever I find around the course gets my marks and I put into play .

    It is amazing what balls you find when you play a dawn round before anyone else even thinks about getting there.

    Gees, Bill, you must be having a bad run if you are going through 8 balls a round. It's just as well you are finding a few.

    I'm working through the good quality balls I find in our one patch of jungle. I used a Callaway Supersoft on Wednesday and a Srixon ZStarXV today. I couldn't tell the difference. They both spun quite nicely on chip shots. But our greens are quite slow and grainy at the moment, so most golf balls seem to behave in a similar manner for me.

    If asked to choose a ball to use exclusively, I'd probably choose the ZStar.

    should have mentioned they are all in the bag and it's just whichever I pick out on the day

    I'm really liking the B330 limited edition from Golfbox ATM. Don't have to mark them either. Never seen anyone else using them and they are easy to identify with the big B logo.

    Usually Chrome Soft but I'm liking the Tour Preferred X at the moment.

    I just buy vision balls because I like the idea of an Australian company, even if they are made overseas. Once I lose those I just grab whatever out of the bag. I honestly can't tell the difference between balls.

    I have 10 boxes remaining of RZN Black. 7 boxes are the newer RZN Tour black, which is a great ball. Got 7doz for about $150 delivered, loved to find more at that price.

    New B330s, or TM TP are also excellent alternatives. Generally rotate between those 3.

    Chrome soft because they look like soccer balls but it'll be qstar or super soft when they're all swimming
