Good balls to be honest, but you have to buy a shit load of them to be good value for money. Overall I love the chromesofts so just sticking with them. I had a fitting last week with my pro with whole bucket of balls looking through his technology at distance, compression, spin etc. Went through Pro v1, 1x, Chrome soft, soft x, taylormade tp5 and x, Srixon Z star and x etc and I was surprised to see the one which was best suited to me and which I actually liked the feel of was the Srixon AD333 Tour. Basically a tour ball with lower compression designed for a swing speed under 100mph. Ive stuck a dozen in the bag and see how they play over the winter.

It’s still pretty good tbh mate. Mats just now if playing from the fairways or just take it into the semi if want to. Playing short though with tees pushed forward to let others get a break.

I play rocks in the winter, greens and fairways are soft no point playing decent balls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the fitting really interesting, difference between normal and x’s which until then I had no idea were meant for fast to really fast swings and are 4 piece construction too. Seeing how one ball worked better off the tee and others for full iron shots. Anything for small gains. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how one ball worked better off the tee and others for full iron shots. Anything for small gains. True, went to American Golf for a fitting about 15 year ago, I’d been using stiff shafts for years. Asked what my swing speed was and I said about 102. Long story short it was about 86🙃 hadn’t been tested for about 10 years. Probably around 80 now so no point me playing ProVs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too fast for me but as you say anything that helps. Got a doz srixon soft off my daughter but I’ll save them till spring, Callaway, Ram, Dunlop when I’m wearing waterproofs.

RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Anyone got AP1’s ? At the bottom of my shaft with some clubs are pulling away. Only some clubs my PW is the worst out them all.
