Soft feel balls
1) Nike Power/Distant Soft
2)Srixon Trispeed
3) Top Flite D2 Feel
Look at www,golfballselector.com for further info on which ball suits your swing.
I found the above article very informative and interesting. Well done.

my golf in instructor gave me a set of srixon ball to practice with. I’ve only used srixon range ball and I think they are pretty good for a ball, and good for a range ball. But I hope these balls that he gave me suits me well.

[...] Christmas golf buddy is a Titleist snob. For the recreational golfer, I’d have a look at the Srixon Trispeed balls I reviewed earlier in the Summer, or you can’t go wrong with a $15.99 box of Top-Flite [...]

I did that although the fitting was more focused on the new driver and 3wood I got. The guy (who was really good in terms of fitting the clubs) just looked at my swing data and said I definitely need the ProV1X. Problem is I don’t like the V1X that much. I wound up going with ZUR over Cal HX but now I think Srixon is discontinuing ZUR in favor of ZURC (which I don’t like). Will take a look at Bridgestone and Taylor Made firm balls. I also like some of the lower compression balls like NXT Tour except that I get fliers every once in a while from the fairways so struggle with distance control; as I said will also try the Trispeed as I think Srixon does a great job in general.

If you don’t have the time/patience to go testing every ball out there, perhaps you could find a local pro/driving range that will do a ball fitting for you? Hit a variety of balls on a trackman/some other launch monitor, and get some solid numbers based on your swing/equipment.

Thanks, I like technical articles like those found at The Sand Trap and your site; they’re not that easy to find. I wish ball companies provided more specs on their products. I swing my driver about 110 mph but am rather steep so ball compression and cover firmness are very critical for me. I don’t have time to try every ball out there. Do you know of anyone who has published in depth data on the compression and cover shore hardness of the most popular balls? I found one web site sells a 20 page book on this but I don’t know if I want to put my credit card # on thier site and don’t really want to pay $20 for data that I’m not certain I can trust. Plus as far as I can tell they get distance and spin #’s from just one swing speed which probably isn’t that relevent for my swing.

The TM TP balls are more online with the ZURS/ZURC…the TP Red playing more like the ZURS..and the TP Black playing more like the ZURC

Here’s is a nice detailed review of the TM TP balls compared to the ProV1/X. They list the technical specs of the balls reviewed.

Pls let me know how TP Reds compare to Trispeeds (distance, softness, spin). Do you know roughly what compression TP Reds are? I’m going to buy a dozen Trispeeds today, I want to see if they’re an even better cold-weather ball than NXT Tour. Thanks again.

Bergy,

I haven’t played the 2007 NXT Tour, but given the similar price point, I would assume you could expect similar performance. I’ll have to see if I can get my hands on some of the 2007 NXT Tours, as well as some others, and have a little ‘ball shootout’.

Right now I’m playing with the TaylorMade TP Reds, and for the price (found some for $23/dozen), they are quite a steal as well.

I normally use either the Srixon ZURS or ZUR; the ZURC spins too much for me. I love the NXT Tour in cooler weather. Can you make a comparison of Trispeed vs NXT Tour in terms of overall performance? Thanks for the very informative article above.
