Fab video Mark. I use Pinnacle Gold – yellow balls so I can follow them in
the air. I believe you need to ascertain which clubs are leaking shots
before you decide on a golf ball. It might be the putter – you’re 3
putting a lot or it might be your approach shots – chipping and pitching.
My choice of ball is based upon cost and the fact I see the markings roll
on the putt better against a yellow background. I’m a 19 hcp working on my
putting and I ‘m practicing the tips given by Glen Billington’s great
videos on your channel. Great videos kept them coming I’m learning a lot.?
Mark thanks for the info. Wish you would compare a few of the SOFT balls
only. Just played the Callaway Super soft. INCREDIBLE BALL! Used to play
Pro V1, no more.
Waiting for my friend John out in California to try them., get his
impression.?
anyone remember playing the Titleist Tour Balata or the Maxfli HT, I
actually think golf was more fun back in the day as the ball spun more and
a ball worker had more of an advantage now with the modern golf balls, the
fly further, straighter and spin less?
My golf ball test is dropping them onto a hard floor from the same height
together. Pro V1 loses every time. It’s very soft and spins a bunch which
isn’t all that helpful to me to tell you the truth. When I’m trying to
hole a chip the extra spin is actually a hinderance and often gets my ball
off-line. I use Pro V1’s on Par 3’s with water… on purpose ;-)?
my top 2 balls the pro v1 and the srixon z star I use the pro v1s in
competitions and on courses that I need that spin like my home course I
love the pro v1 it gives me the best control but ill use the z star every
once in a while I just like the feel of the pro v1 and the better spin and
control with the pro v1?
I found the clip very interesting. I have recently switched from the Pro
V1x to a NXT Tour S. Have found, like you say, very little difference in
distance, thankfully with the new cover on the NXT, it performs much the
same as the Pro V1x, plus its cheaper. ?
TaylorMade TP X all the way.?
Off the driver a higher handicap needs lees spin. I would think DT solo
would be less punishing on mishits off the driver.?
Great Video Mark, Just what i needed?
Pro V1’s are not even a consideration due to price. They’re far too
expensive.?
I think you need to stop making video’s. The Solo is a 2 piece surlyn golf
ball which promotes high launch and low spin and the Prov1 is a 3 piece
urethane cover which promotes lower launch and higher spin. If compression
is not important then why did Titleist reduced the compression levels in
its golf balls – copying Bridgestone Golf and lose a law suit to
Bridgestone Golf?? Lets face it the only thing Titleist has is the name
because their golf balls are junk. ?
Love the “debunk golf myths”. I am REALLY confused by Bridgestone and now
Callaway (and I’m sure others) that have multiple premium balls (same
price, etc) based on driver club head speed. I would assume the most you
might see is more spin on wedge shots with the balls for slower driver club
head speed. Seems more likely it’s just marketing. Want to do a video to
explain the difference between these balls? Thanks for the great videos!?
the harder softer myth, really goes back to the top flite/pinnacle via the
old balata balls… I pull a ball out of my bag last year and instantly
lost yardage despite hitting it well… on closer inspection it was a
balata… definitely flew less and definitely felt better?
can you have a video on the best balls around the green?
DTsolo feels pretty good off the driver. For me, ProV1 doesn’t feel good
putting?
Mark – on your 7 iron shots the DT solo ha an average peak height of 34
degrees while the pro v1 only had 31 degrees.
For a player like myself looking for more height and less spin with wedges
(currently game srixon z-star) would u say a ball like the DT solo or
Bridgestone e5+ would be a good option?
?
Titleist always has ridiculous claims. Compression makes a huge difference,
which is why certain companies sell balls for “high swing speeds” and “low
swing speeds”, as well as why some low SS players lose distance with some
distance balls!?
I agree totally with the concept of how the ball works around the green.
They all seem to be the same in the fairway. I go by how the ball feels
and reacts OFF THE PUTTER HEAD. They make different sounds even. Just
take two different balls and drop them from the same distance on your
cement garage floor and listen to the different sounds they make. Drive
for show, putt for dough! The ball has to feel right off the putter. Just
my take.?
How to choose your golf ball. ?
I agree, I buy lake balls at the moment because I lose a couple in a round.
I wonder if the Pro v1 lake balls would loose much of the spin stats after
they’ve been hit a few times then sat in a lake for a while.

Why don’t you use the trackman anymore??
Great review!!?
I like the ProV1
