Golf bros anyone like lower compression balls for chipping?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 11th, 2025 8:51 PM Author: Dave Prole I spent the last month testing out every major urethane 3-piece golf ball. For drives, putts and most full swing shots, I could barely tell any difference.
Then when I got to chipping, all of the balls I thought were best became clearly the worst for me (Titleist AVX and prov1, TP5, Z-star, Chrome Soft) even though they are supposed to have more spin?
Best balls for me BY FAR are Qstar Tour, Vice Pro Air and Bridgestone Tour B RX
They feel AMAZING on chips and the same on every other shot.
I bet a lot of guys mindlessly use higher compression titleist balls and have NO IDEA about these |

Date: August 12th, 2025 2:30 PM Author: Brother Peter Dimond i bet the current version is sps. every ball after the old mc lady that tried to do the same thing sucked. some would even crack if you hit them once with a driver (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5761315&forum_id=2)#49178634) |

I duno how that shit was usga legal (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5761315&forum_id=2)#49178662) |

Date: August 12th, 2025 2:41 PM Author: Dave Prole My wife uses REVA balls that are bigger than normal but apparently still legal (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5761315&forum_id=2)#49178672) |

Date: August 12th, 2025 3:17 PM Author: .,...,.,.;,.,,,:,.,.,::,..,..,:,..;,.., old school british balls that were smaller and heavier and legal by the R&A until like 1990 were 180 as fuck apparently. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5761315&forum_id=2)#49178770) |

Date: August 12th, 2025 2:09 PM Author: Judas Jones I like mid-to-higher spin premium balls for chipping and wedges. I never buy Titleist because they're never really on steep discount, but Z-Star Diamond/XV, Wilson Staff Model/Model X, Callaway Chrome Soft X (now Chrome Tour X I think) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5761315&forum_id=2)#49178563) |

Callaways are popular but it's too much brain clutter to keep track of all the different versions they have and I end up defaulting them to shitball status for solo rounds and whatnot. Bridgestones are good balls but you have to make it a point to go and buy them. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5761315&forum_id=2)#49178589) |

Date: August 12th, 2025 2:36 PM Author: Judas Jones Yeah, I play them a fair bit just from finding balls or getting a box of corporate proV1s from friends or whatever. I just don't notice enough of a difference to pay full retail when there are constant sales for premium offerings from other brands that have very similar offerings to the ProV1 or ProV1X. I waste enough money on golf as it is. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5761315&forum_id=2)#49178661) |

Date: August 12th, 2025 2:43 PM Author: Dave Prole Have you tried Vice Pro Plus
There is something different about their covers that feels better to me |

Date: August 12th, 2025 2:49 PM Author: .,...,.,.;,.,,,:,.,.,::,..,..,:,..;,.., are those considered like real/good balls? I find them around and assume it's all just women and oldmos losing them. kind of like noodles or whatever. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5761315&forum_id=2)#49178701) |

Date: August 12th, 2025 2:18 PM Author: Brother Peter Dimond not any of the current ones but i used the old precept mc lady when they came out like 25 years ago. they were great during the summer when fairways were dry but greens watered a ton
but i do prefer a prov1 over an x for example because it feels softer. idk if its in my head but it always seemed easier to control a softer ball greenside even if it's supposed to spin less |

Date: August 12th, 2025 2:45 PM Author: Dave Prole That's what I'm saying
It seems much easier to control chips with the softer balls but it's counterintuitive because they're supposed to have lower spin
I can see the qstar spin like crazy because of the divide colors. The zstar doesn't do that
I'm guessing it's because swing speed drops like 30 mph on chips |
