You guys are all missing the point when it comes to what ball is the best ball. The best ball for you is the one that suits your game. Period. You have to try different balls under playing conditions to find out what is best for you. Just because a PGA Pro plays the PRO V does not mean that ball is good for you to play with.
A CPGA Teaching Pro once told me this "If your handicap is over 15 then any ball will be ok. Except the PRO V's because most people over with an index above 15 do not have the swing speed to properly compress the ball. If you are not compressing it then you will lose distance."
I for one do not play Pro V's. I can if I want but I prefer the NXT Tour. For me that ball suits my game, plus they are almost half the price of Pro V's. I know how far the ball flies with my irons, I know what it does when it lands on the greens and I know how it putts. All of that adds up to lower scores. |
That's true about the Pro V's. Although you won't lose a ton of distance by not fully compressing it, and for most people the soft feel would make that a good tradeoff.
