What Golf Ball Will Fly Straighter

25 Comments

1. What golf ball will fly the straightest with Mark Crossfield AskGolfGuru?

2. just got Bridgestone e7 and went 15 shots better slice basically
   disappeared played bad around the green so could have been much better as I
   struggled hitting long with Srixon Qstar

3. Does anybody know of a ball that has the spin of the pro v that is
   affordable?

4. Thanks for responding to our requests to go further with your test, Mark. I
   swear the e6 goes straighter than Pro V1 on errant iron shots. Plus my 7
   iron SS is around 70 and hitting the ProV1 off the toe vs e6 feels like a
   rock…ouch. Once again, excellent and

5. Agree, it´s about feeling. Distance doesn´t matter if you cant stop it on
   the green.

6. I always wondered about what are the differences of the types of golf
   balls. Buy golf balls that fit your play. The only thing is the price of
   those damn balls. Thanks for the info Mark, great vid’s.

7. You have done a couple videos on golf balls and what they are actually
   doing, but you always stay in the more moderate to high price point. For a
   beginning golfer who assaults a lot of trees and fish is playing something
   like a Top Flight XL, Slazenger RAW, or Pinnacle (ie sub $20/15 count) ball
   okay to do, or is that going to hurt us in the long run? Is there a certain
   point at which we need to move to the DT Solo, Callaway Hex, Bridgestone e6
   ($20+/12 count) ball?

8. I use the Tm lethal. Used the penta for 2 seasons also. Purely down to feel
   and personal preference. As tm ball didnt cut upmas much .I found the Tm
   ball went slightly further than pro v. But again could be due to other
   factors. Ape very top of the range ball will be pretty much the same so in
   the end comes down to personal preference.

9. No dislikes! Good job. It’s the club that makes the changes to me,

10. You should test these balls with the wilson staff duo! They say those balls
    go and go. Thanks

11. Another great vid Mark.Certainly goes against my expectation a softer ball
    would cause more wayward drivers when miss-hit. How about doing some
    testing on ‘Mud Balls’. We hear on TV how much the pro’s worry when they
    get a little bit of mud on the ball. Can you do a vid and show how it
    changes the flight based on where the mud is on the ball ?

12. Good test Mark. Would be interested in a test between 1) Pro V1 vs. no name
    cheap ball. 2) new ball vs. worn out ball

13. I use the taylor made Penta tp3. Cause it’s works from tee to green. It’s a
    good 3 piece golf that matches my comfort level. I’ll try every golf ball
    they make to see how we’ll they perform. I argee with u mark about finding
    the right golf ball. Good video.

14. The largest determinant for greenside spin, when it comes to building the
    golf ball, is the cover. When you’re swinging 150 yds in, you’re not
    actually compressing the ball any meaningful amount – you can’t squash the
    ball with a wedge like you can with a driver. Thus, the only part of the
    ball doing the work is the cover jacket. ATM, Urethane is the softest,
    tackiest ball cover on the market – look for those for the best wedge spin.
    Urethane isn’t cheap though – many use Ionomer or it’s like

15. DUO!!!!!!

16. Hi Mark.If the “distance” balls aren’t any longer , why were the long drive
    competitions in America always sponsored by Pinnacle , who claim to be
    longest of the distance balls? Surely not ad-hype ? Cheers, Nige .

17. Cubeist I found that the Titleist NXT Tour ball gives me really good
    control on the greens and is very affordable compared to the ProV1. I’m in
    Australia, and I pay $42 per dozen for the NXT, whereas the ProV1 is
    upwards of $60 depending on where you shop. $42 per dozen may still seem
    expensive, so the Srixon Q-STAR would be my next suggestion at around $30
    per dozen. Hope that helps

18. I have gc2 hmt and I love the direct measurement.

19. Another good video. thanks Mark.

20. I use Pro V1X as i find it easier on the putting and I have more control on
    it over the softer PRO V1. I have a 98MPH river swing speed.

21. Good video. Now could you compare the same two balls, using wedges?? I
    would suspect the spin ‘difference’ between the two balls would increase as
    the clubs get shorter, and basically would prove Titleist’s point. You
    should choose a golf ball based on it’s performance at the green and
    working backwards towards the tee.

22. I use the Srixon Q star.

23. we hit maybe 7-8 greens a round – so we need a ball that stops.

24. Have to love marketing. It is clear that the driving factor for you to pick
    a ball is the price and how it feels when you hit it. It should make you
    feel confident during each strike. I just switched from Calaway HX Hots to
    Titleist NXT Tour S, for feel and more stopping power on the greens. After
    watching this I am thinking about trying some Pro V1’s just to see if the
    feel is any better and if it is worth the $14 dollar increase over the NXT
    Tour S. Need that stopping power on the greens!

25. Great Vid Mark – As always delivered in a way normo choppers like me can
    relate to!
