I’d just like to publicly state I filmed this video last week. Apologies for anyone who is upset. Hope you all enjoy the video! ⛳️🎥👍🏼
Don’t apologize James. Enjoyable content.
😂😂😂👍
I'm subscribed to Shiels, Big Al, Finchy, Michael Newton, Alistair and a few other Yanks but have hardly watched any in ages. I'm still watching your offering everyday James so it don't bother me if anyone else has done a review on the P790 irons or the AD333 ball. Simple solution for the rest of the people is just watch James!
@@chrissellings I’m subbed to maybe 10 golf channels, James and Matt Fryer are always my 2 “Must Watch” channels
@@baddestmofoalive I like Matt too. I like real people
You put out content on a daily basis which is hard work. I'm not going to give you a hard time because you planned ahead to have a little break.
For a cheap ball I love the callaway super soft.
The Srixon AD333 and soft feel are great balls. I’ve recently started playing with the Wilson duo soft. I’m off 8 and I think they are great for the price!
I’ve been playing the Srixon AD333 for the last couple of years as a 10 handicap. I’ve loved the distance off the tee. Responsiveness with wedge shots and feel off the putter.
I’ve also played the Vice Pro ball which is an excellent ball for the price.
I played Srixon Ad333 when I was a beginner. Great ball! I have moved into the Z star just for around the greens control.
High handicapper here. I fell in love with the Srixon Ultisoft this year (might be re-branded Soft Feel?). They cost 32.90€ (I'd guess that would mean around 25-27£ in UK) for 24 balls, are quite soft and despite them being targeted towards lower club head speeds I didn't lose that much distance either.
I have liked the triple threes that I've found and played (and lost) too.
I play the Srixon Q-Star Tour yellow. The colour of this years ball seems to be brighter. I'm currently a 14 hcp.
Used the AD333 for quite a few years now, does everything I need. Currently trying Srixon Marathon Soft as I was given 2 dozen, IMO almost as good of a ball probably ½ a step back but cheaper. Ideal as a winter ball for AD333 users.
I just picked this ball up. November and cold in South Carolina. Was impressed.
I call it the AD 3 thirty 3.
Been playing Srixon AD333 since my coach told me to stop playing Bridgstone Extra Soft. Handicap is 22.4. Was 26.6 at start of the year. Brilliant ball that feels good all around.
The 4 ball i play in, we all use them and all high handicaps
I have used the AD333 and even more the AD333 Tour quite a lot. I am currently a +1 handicap golfer and while I do find that I sacrifice a little performance between the AD333 and my normal gamer which is the ZStar XV, even as a low handicap golfer, I do not see a massive difference in my scoring when playing what is considered a second tier ball.
I think a lot of weekend golfers think of themselves as far better than they really are. None of us including even scratch handicappers are actually good enough to really see a massive difference. And the flipside is that as a +1 or scratch I also have sufficient ability to make the ball work and adjust my chipping enough to allow for slightly more run out or a slightly higher ball flight off my irons.
Would definitely love to see launch monitor test with this ball! As a high handicapper I’d like to see numbers for a ball I’d use
I am a 24 handicapper and recently started gaming the inesis 900 tour. They feel amazing, especially into and around the green
Love the Srixon soft feel ball, haven't tried the A333. I like the Q star, haven't used the Z star yet, but will when I find a good deal. Mid handicapper, trying to improve, and find a great cheaper ball, thanks for the video!
I have been using the same TM TP5 for a few rounds now. Bought them from the local pond diver. Presently 8 handicap.
This year as a mid-handicapper I started playing the Bridgestone E12 Contact golf balls. And so far I'm loving the feel. I think they might be a couple yards shorter off driver than a premium ball but not to where I'd really even notice that much.
definitely not more than 5 yards shorter, love the e12 contact off the irons though
I have played the Wilson Duo Optix ball. I am testing the Callaway Supersoft and the Srixon Softfeel.
I just charged my golf ball to the AD Triple 3 after seeing this video and really love it…I used the Bridgestone E5…thanks for this video…I’m in the states and most big box stores near me don’t sell this ball…
I use the AD333 as my winter ball and a Pro V1 as my summer ball. Currently off 4.6 after good few months but usually about a 10 handicap.
Hi James, I play off 19 and always play the Srixon soft feel or the ad. Great price, great feel... love em...
Ad triple3 and srixon soft feel
Have always been good enough for me James
Hey James would you include golf hack in the category for this ball 🤣😁.thats where i fall. Love your work. Thanks for keeping me entertained and informed through our 6th lockdown
Was looking for this ball in the US, and figured out here in the US, it’s called the Q star. Been playing it for a while in conjunction with the Bridgestone E series. Awesome balls.
I bought two dozen Srixon soft feels last year and they are certainly good enough for me, but I’ve only used two sleeves in the last year due to all the TP5s and ProV1s I find while looking for them in the woods
You certainly know how to test new equipment whether it’s clubs or balls, never ever disappoint and always entertaining, you Sir need your own channel on Sky golf
Of late I’m noticing players playing these balls in Oz ! Has had a great feedback in uk. For me at 14hcp Srixon Q star tour is so great, don’t feel like changing. A sleeve lasts me at least 12 games. Feel and softness are similar but the diff is the better stopping power in the short game with the Q star.
As a high handicapper I love the Vice Pro.....long off the tee and reasonable around the green and when I go long off the tee and can't find the ball because it went into the woods somewhere I don't feel so bad about the cost!
Good video James, it's wonderful that you show various levels of players options to help tune their game. Have you done a version for the Bridgestone e6? Some say it's a ball for seniors but could it be "the ball" for mid handy cappers as well?
It now November 2023 & Bridgestone just came out with the e9 which is a distance ball. Depending on the day I usually play the e6. If my game is going bad I play the balls I find as a marshal.
Vice Pro Plus. Played this past weekend, shot 113 and finished with the ball I started with. It's 90% the one your comfortable with.
A buddy of mine refuses to play a Callaway because he "thinks" it's a bad ball.
I love the AD333, I think its a great ball. My only issue is that the durability isn't the best but I've found if you put a lighter to the fray scuff marks it's still good
Top Flight. Hands down the #1 ball everyone played at our local muni.
I pretty much knew which ball you were going to say. Yes, I bought a box of these and found them to be what you have said. I think in terms of overall performance in all areas against price they are outstanding.
Srixon soft feel. I'm 75 and this is the sweet spot for me. Good drives and soft around the green.
Hi James.
I'm a23,6 handicap golfer. I play the srixon AD333 but I prefer the srixon soft feel for the puting game.
Also i'm playing Pinnacle Soft, i have the same feeling of the soft feel but we have 15 ball's for the same price.
And finaly, i have pretty the same feeling with the titleist true feel
Another good video. My issue with these super soft golf balls is on the green. They give very little feedback when putting. I much prefer a firmer ball.
Yup, agree. I tried the Srixon soft feel and it was brilliant until I reached the green.
James I’m a 17 handicap. I buy my golf balls from lost golf balls. Play the Bridgestone e6 and have tried the Callaway ultra soft. I spend as little as possible. Usually 20 dollars for a dozen
I find loads of these on my local course in hull. I quite like using them if I've already lost afew balls . I'm a high handicapper and normally use any premium balls I find in the sale section
High handicapper, I've tried many balls but keep coming back to the Ad 333.
Although...
Due to your previous vid I have bought a dozen Callaway CRX Control balls at 15 quid. Very similar performance off the tee and around the greens, but would say the Srixon just edges it as ( imo) they check up a bit better than the Callaways.
ADTriple3, I have these plus lots of others as in my last two rounds I have found over 30 golf balls, half gone into the practice bag. Srixon seem to be a popular ball getting lost on my local course, maybe they are recommended by the pro shops aimed at mid to high handicappers
I tend to pick either the newest looking ball in my bag or the ball from my last round if it went well to play with. Try not to tempt fate and the woods with a new ball on the first
I play the callaway supersoft ball, very similar to the ad333, just as cheap as well, I like to use new balls so it goes through me when I have a bad round and lose I few if I've paid £40 plus for a box, keep up to good videos
Srixon AD triple three. I use them almost exclusively and my club sells them for GBP 27 for 24 balls, including my 10% member discount. So 30 quid for non-members. Also available online at that price, but they are last years model.
Great videos m8, keep up the great content. Have you ever played Bondhay course?
Yes mate! Long but enjoyable!
Using the srixon distance ball have been for quite a while. Great ball and great price.
Started on Ad333 like many before. Decent brand & good price but I now play Honma tw-x (£19.99 a dozen) for summer & Q Star tour for winter/wet conditions when I don't need so much spin. Could quite happily play the 333 all year to be fair.
They are my fav ball to find and if you chuck them down like that, Yes! Found my first Kirkland the other day but no Lidl yet,
I use the Srixon Distance, but they have just released a new version of that ball too. which means that the local direct sports shop (not naming the shop) no longer do 2 dozen for £18. I think the AD333 work out a few quid more. But might be a better shout.
I played the AD333 recently and really liked it. My only issue was I managed to keep one for 10 holes and at the end it felt like a curled-up hedgehog. I’ve recently got a load of Slazenger v300 and can’t feel any difference between the 2 balls or see any difference in performance. Distance, flight, touch around the greens, all feel the same.
That would be a ball worth reviewing. £20 for 48! V300 (not the rock that is the V100!!!!)
Srixon Z Star for me. Perfect ball 👌🏾 😍.
I love that mizuno bag James 🤩
New golfer here (if I had a handicap it would be like 40) and I've been using AD333's since I started earlier this month due to the cheap price... Even went as far as buying 100x A grade 2nd hand balls when I realised it was cheaper to lose them lol still have heaps which are my practice balls for the park now that I'm not losing heaps on course. Only downside to them is they scuff up very quickly, but that's not an issue for me.
I play the AD Tripple 3. 27 handicap. I like them because they are good quality and great price. However on the rare occasions I keep a ball more then 4 holes, they do get cut up quite a bit.
Would like to see this ball up against not a pro v or a z 🌟 ect, but something like a soft response or a Callaway cxr control. As a 18 ish handicap these are the balls I go with. Not found the exact one for me yet. Also why do places like AG only sell by the dozen? Keep up the good work.🍻
I use the Srixon Z Star and have for several years. Excellent ball and at lower $$ than the other "bigger name" premium balls.
My fave ball especially when I can lose a few on a bad day. I buy them off eBay though so I'm never using the latest incarnation of the ball. If I'm playing a holiday course I like to buy Titleist tour speed.
If your open to suggestions could you do a comparison test or a little game comparing ad333 and soft feel with the fans favourite Chris 😀 because they are the same price point in shops.
My index is 3.3, and the ad333 is one of 2 balls I use , other one is tp5, both my favourite , both awesome
I would be tempted to use them, currently using Kirkland balls and play off 13
Hi James I play the Wilson staff dx2 great balls
Hi James, still loving your content. I live in Spain now and only have three courses within an hour from me, balls sold in the golf clubs I play are extortionate prices on premium balls, they don’t stock the cheaper manufacturers balls including srixon, I was a 3 handicap back in the day in the us and played titleist pro v’s or callaway hex, back then….. Now play off 8 and I play Wilson dx2’s and an even cheaper ball (don’t laugh), sports directs Slazenger v300soft, the Wilson I find is quality, where as the slazenger, I play on one of the courses where one can lose half a dozen in a round if the game isn’t on that day.
A review on these balls would be great if you can bring yourself to go into sports direct, lol……
All the best James, keep up the good work..
I play the Vice Tour - $25 USD a dozen and they feel great to me.
I'm playing the Wilson Duo+ and they are the same price as the Srixon here in Sweden. I do like them. I'm a 28 hcp.
I use the Wilson duo/optic green balls. Nice n soft and a decent price seeing as I play of a high handicap I do lose a few on the sliced drive
Be nice to see these reviewed
James I like your videos I have been watching them for a while I am old I use a super soft call Callaway I find it okay keep the videos going
Tony
Ricky Shiels yesterday and you today both praising this Golf Ball. Must be good. I will definitely try them.
I've used Kirkland and Vice because of the price point was good and the quality is decent.. I. bought 3 dozen Z star last year which go.jnto the practice bag after 1 rd...Just bought TM response as I like the feel.and they perform for me as well as the Z Star but paid 43 quid for 3 dozen! Current index is 5.6
Jimmy, I play off +1 and I use used balls off ebay. OK I still go pro v or chrome soft but I've honestly found Kirkland and ulti soft srixon are fantastic. I play vega blades and a 710mb 1 iron so I strike the ball and you give up 4-8 yrds for 20 quid.... From 56-52 wedge into holes.... No brainer to me mush. 👍🏼
Would love to see video James you and a few others fellow pro and mid Handicappers. Playing unmarked Balls from premium to Budget lets see how brave the big boys are!! 75% of golfers couldn't tell the difference from a £45 a Dozen to lest say these Srixons.
Would love to see this!
I'm 19.9 and trying to decide between titleist tour soft (don't like the lines on it though) and a Srixon Q Star tour which I have been bombing with the woods but feels a bit soft on the greens.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but, does it really matter what ball you play if you’re not paying the mortgage with winnings/sponsorships? I played a Top Flite for years. Did fine. I switched to the Srixon Soft Feel awhile back simply because i got tired of aching wrists from the Top Flite. Maybe I answered my original question there…? Anyway, I played the QStar and they’re nice but my game wasn’t really able to take full advantage of what that ball says it offers. Out of all the golf equipment available, golf balls seem the most complicated.
Great ball.
Great price.
Great video.
I play the Srixon Q-Star. Love them for the price, and performance. Of course I love the Titleist ProV1...TP-5...Srixon Z-Star...but the price......ooooff.....
My only issue with the AD333 is they scuff up quick and I find that’s when I lose them. Seems to take a flight in to long rough never to be seen again. However fresh and clean out the box perform really good. I’ve moved to the Srixon distance and I don’t lose them no where near as often as they don’t scuff up as bad. Much harder ball however.
18 handicap, not above playing found balls I find if they're in good shape. But I'm also picky there, sticking with higher end premiums. Last box I bought are ERC IIs, which I like quite a bit.
I use the srixon soft feel it callaway super soff. My hcap is 15.9
I really like the vice drive 2 piece balls for around 20$ a dozen U.S. , I'd be interested in a durability test between the vice drive and this ball.
I have become a fan of the taylormade distance plus cheap launch high and check up on green not as much spin as my tp5x but good to beat around and play with
Playing RZN HS-Tour and love it. Cheap too👍
Been a Titleist guy forever. Love the TP5 now.
I'm getting back into golf after 6 years away I'm getting a full set of Majek hybrids and will be using srixon soft feel. If you can try the majek golf clubs it would be helpful. By the way I really enjoy your channel.
VERY high handicaper here. Just switched from Wilson DUO soft to the Titleist Trufeel. Never tried this Srixon. They are the same price here. 45 euro for 2 boxes off 12.
I buy the as lakeball for 90 cent / 1 euro each. BTW. I choose for the titleist trufeel for the feel on the irons. I have a low swingspeed (70 mph) so I need low compression
I’ve used Srixon for ages,distance & soft feel as well as the ad333 all very similar.Also the Z star etc…are well superior to the equivalent CALLAWAY,titleist,etc…
I love that ball not too many people here play it So if I find one at the course I play out of good chance it was mine. I stock up on the when they go on sale. Not sure why they are not popular at least in the part of Canada where I live.
I play of 6.8 my golfball in the summer is a taylormade tour responce in the winter I use a callaway supersoft
I'm a 18 hcp I play with titleist avx or pro v1.
My daughter 40 hcp just got her the srixon q star tour yellow/orange.
I'm a high handicap, I play lot different golf balls. Personally I really like vice pro soft, they seem to fly the best for my swing. (When I swing correctly). Someone said in the states these are the Q-Stars, but do they ad333 say tour on them like the q-stars?
I would like to see you test these against the costco kirkland ball on your launch monitor James. Both are a similar price point for us tight arses.
I like using the Max fli straight fly green ball from the tee to the green then I change my ball to a Vice pro soft for putting not sure how much the straight fly balls are bc I got a box of them for fathers day and still using the same ones but the Vice ball is $35
I usually shoot in the 80's although my last round was a 78 on a par 72. My ball of choice is the Callaway chrome soft. It gives me enough distance, great spin, but the most important part is the feel around the greens.
You sound like me.. I played 4 different courses here in Michigan for the first time over the last couple weeks.. shot 83, 82, 79, 83.
@@oneheadlight8000 awesome rounds mine are all over the 80's high, low, and middle. Lol
@@oneheadlight8000 I am a senior golfer who hits it straight. Do you know of any high spinning balls that an 80-85 mph swing speed could still get distance from? From 100 yards in I have solid 5 hdc stats. My age and injuries have slowed me down.
@@tmo4330 I really like srixon balls. I used their z-star and had some great results. I hear pretty good things about their soft feel ball for spin / feel around the green. The issue with spin is you don’t get as much distance.. you would want a harder 2 piece ball for distance and a softer ball for touch around the green
@@oneheadlight8000 Yes, it's a frustrating trade off. Believe it or not, someone gave me a dozen callaway warbirds for Christmas. I thought I would never use them. I took them and played a couple of rounds with them and the distance was out of this world. (For me). I hate them from 150 yards in.
this ball is 38.00 a dozen here in Canada......Srixon soft feel are 24.99 and i find they work pretty well....cheers from Canada
Is there an echo in here? I’m sure I watched this video yesterday? 😂
I played this ball for years (back when I lived in the UK) before progressing to the Srixon ZURS, which was the precursor to the Z Star. This was back in the early 2000s. A great performing ball at a very very reasonable price.
In fairness to Srixon they’ve been putting out excellent products (balls and clubs) for over twenty years now. So underrated, especially over here in North America. But they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve. 👏
Currently playing the mizuno RB 566 since I rarely lose any 🙂, I’m a 14 handicap 😁
Does this go up against the pro v/tp 5 or does it go up against the crivit and the Kirkland budget balls?
18 handicap and I love srixon ad333 balls probs one of my favourite and easier to find because there much more whiter than others
ive got a few ad333 balls given to me and i have to say i seem to find them more than previous balls so im guessing the blue hue in the air helps me too lol
Currently playing TM soft response playing off 18 but like most golfers i’ll play any ball I find on the course.
I played them for a while and they were good. I think you should try the HOMNA TWS as well as they are a nice ball and maybe vlog it James
I started in July and always played with a TP5 7.9 is my handicap ( never really lose balls as I use 2 iron from tee lol ) my mates who range from +1 to the highest being myself and they literally use anything….. had one use a commando 🤨 never even heard of it!! I must admit I love a soft ball but with my raw faced wedges they get wrecked especially out of sand
16 hcp, AD 3 3 3 (pronounced that way, not triple), for cooler days, soft feel for warmer days, though I have also started using Srixon Ultisoft and believe it comparable to Callaway supersoft when I'm "going for the win". Also I don't know about pro shops but sports direct now also sell srixon marathon balls. Personal experience suggests to run a bloody marathon to get away from them.
Top flight
I did play AD triple 3 but changed to Srixon Q Star tour
Yep I got a box of ad333 but unless it’s a qualifier I usually play with what I find - Does it make any difference for a high handicapper!
