*What golf ball are you using right now? This may sway your decision*
Currently using Taylor Made tour response and Wilson Triad balls. Both are around 35-40 dollars a dozen.
Currently using a titlest Tour soft. I have great results especially around the green
Tour BXS - 14 HCP
I work at a pro shop here in Canada. The Srixon Q-Star Tour sells like free beer. Mid compression, 3pc construction at a price point below the Z-Star line. Great Ball. Popular with seniors.
Callaway Supersoft, have not had my handicap rated, I struggle to break 100.
I just play what I find in the trees 🌲
Same, but I live in AZ, so I “lay whatever I find in the desert”. 🙌🏾
😂😂😂
I agree. Best balls to use
Happy 420 Bro! Samesies
Same!
Just started playing the Callaway ERC this year. I used the Callaway Super Soft last year. Looking forward to see the difference. Love the Triple Track. Helps with my putting too. 18 Handicap.
55 years old-Playing 30 years-10 hdcp. I’ve been playing the super soft for 9 years now. Tested many others each season but always go back to the super soft.
Used to use vice, now use seed. 3 piece ball, for me is longer than titleist and spins great. I get 2 rounds per ball unless I lose it..... Great balls and would recommend them to anyone.
Mid handicapper. Love the Kirkland, now hooked on the vice pro soft. Simple love these balls, they last, feel awesome around the green and the come in lime green which I love for visibility
I used Kirkland’s all last summer and I love them, but a bit soft off the putter for my liking :( so I’ve been using TaylorMade Distance+ all winter (yellow balls), and these have been great for me.
I've tried all 3 of these. I spent about 18 months trying different golf balls. For me the wilson staff triad are the best value for money. They launch well, feel good on short game shots and are long off the driver. They last well too.
I love the triad. The advertisement for players trying to break 80 I had to try.
Recently bought a box of the Srixon QStar Tour. So far they are performing well. I’ve also been sing the TM Tour Response and like them as well.
I’ve been using Triple Track for a year now. Perfect ball for my game. Thank you for this video.
Currently using the Wilson Triad after switching from the Bridgestone e12 contact. Super soft feel and get great distance and the feel off the putter is superb. Only negative is the line up on the ball is a little too short. I love the look of the triple track and will give these balls a try after I use up my triads. Thanks for the review!!. CHEERS!!
Ive been playing the e6 and just recently went to the e12 contact...I cant stop playing them right now, love the e12 for some reason
Seed SD 15 as a 20 handicapped Senior I find it gives me the distance and soft control. Previous ball was the Srixon Q Star, but value for money the Seed fills my bag..... great alignment aid
I am a 14.8 handidcap, and I tried erc golf ball did not like the ball.
So I am now using the Chrome Soft x for the last 3 seasons and love them.
I’ve used all 3 and they are all wonderful! I’m late middle age 9 HCP and all premium balls are about the same to me. Thx for your review!
The balls I have been using most are Yellow Bridgestone e6. Love these balls all the way around the course,
Long game to short game.
I did use the Costco ball all last year but switched upto Titleist your speed, def goes further and still soft, and cheaper then a pro v1! Currently trying the taylormade tp5x pix as that’s what I hit in my lessons, it’s nice but scuffs up too easily for my liking, the Titleist tour speed are def hard wearing
Yes... Q-Star Tour.
I buy them when my primary retailer puts them on two dozen for the price of one... That is usually twice a year in Canada.
Thanks I always look forward to your posts
playing the Q star tour this summer, came out best of a selection of soft balls in a fitting. the divide is good for practicing putting
Alex, what you said about the golfballs will not cause me to change the golf ball that I play because I already am using the Callaway Triple Track ERC Yellow golf ball. A few months ago, I was using the Callaway Supersoft but changed to the ERC Triple Track, and I love the way the ball sounds and feels coming off of the club face for both my irons and woods and how it perfirms on the greens. Plus, the Triple Track alignment aid serves me well both on the tee and on the green. It's great to hear that I am using a ball that you highly endorse. My current GHIN is 20.3. :-)
I was using the TP5 but recently have tried the ERC Soft and Titleist Tour Speed. I'm 72 years old and a 10 handicap, looking for more distance but still keeping spin around the green. I agree the ERC soft is a good ball for me.
Play the Srixon soft feel during the summer and the Bridgestone brx depends on the feel for me. Don’t have a issue with both balls when putting or chipping it helps me to follow through because they are softer, currently playing if 2.2
I’m about an 18 handicap and I use the Wilson duo soft, cut red, and the callaway warbird. Usually it depends on which of the 3 I can find on sale. My current favorite is the cut red
I'm currently playing with a WHS of 15.4. I use Vice Tour. If you buy now you get 6 dozen for the price of 5 which works out at £16.65 per dozen. Even if you only buy 3 dozen the price is £20.99 per dozen. I think it's a really great ball that suits my game. NB I've never got on with ProV1's - may be i'm just nervous that I'm about to thrash a £4 ball into no man's land!!
WHS 17.2 and lately have been playing with Vice Pro Plus Shade. Love the feel and flight trajectory.
My only hole in one was with a faded orange top flight that i found in the mud 2 holes prior
21.6 handicap index. I use Yellow Callaway Supersoft balls. £25 /dozen
I play three to four times a week and use the Kirkland ball. It gives me all I need at a really good price. I do find that they mark a lot and maybe a little shorter with the driver. When I travel or play a tournament, I play the Pro V1.
I'm using the Vice-Pro Plus. It's been just as long for me as anything out there which includes The Callaway ERC Soft, Srixon Soft Feel and Callaway Supersoft. The VPP is solid and gives me better control around the greens.
I’m a 12 index and buy Bridgestone B X three dozen at a time, which brings the price down to $3/ball!
Have been playing whatever I find in the woods for a while but recently have been using some vice balls, I like both their drive and tour balls for the price
Currently playing Titliest Tour Speed. I’m playing off 3.7. I’ve been ball testing. Im about to move into Srixon Z Star. Im looking for more consistency into the green from around 140 and in. With the tour speed I will occasionally get a low spin flyer. For me it’s slightly unpredictable. The Z Star is more consistent for how I deliver the club.
Been using Wilson Triads. Did break par for the first time on 9 holes last year. 34 on par 35.
The only downside is you really need to draw your own line on them for putting. Its hard to see when you step back to look over your alignment if the sun is in the wrong position otherwise.
When I first started feeling confident got a dozen Taylormade Tour Responses and instantly improved. They're forgiving but spin enough that I could learn to shape shots. They were really great and 10 bucks cheaper than a TP5!
I'm a 17 handicap this winter I've been playing the Srixon Q Star. When weather warms up I'll play either the Srixon Z star or the Xv. I've played the diamond as well but on the fence now with all the Srixon balls. The Q star is really performing well, once weather gets a bit warmer well see if performance is still there. I do like the price point.
I am am an 11.5 index senior golfer. Have used the Tour Response and the Q Star Tour. Very good balls, but the ProV1 works better for me around the greens and with wedges.
I just tried out these brand new Srixon Q star tour. Went straight to the water. Went back to my used prov1s. Placed the the srixons back in the box. The prov1 lasted me the rest of the round
i have tried ll 3 loved the q star agree the kirkland gets really scuffed quickly the callaway erc soft super long feels soft but just cant get it to spin on short chips the over 2 spin great
I'm loving the Q star tour divide. I also play the Bridgestone e12 contact because of the neon red color. No other ball can I see as well year round . I wish it had the greenside performance of the Q star tour and it would be the perfect ball or if the Q star came in that same red color, that would be the perfect ball.
I enjoy using Vice balls. Still on the cheaper end, but a premium ball that compares to some of the best in the pack. Also, I like the vibe.
Hey there, currently using Callaway Supersoft. However I have just started to "test" the Taylormade Tour Response with the green stripe for putting improvement and overall performance.
Alex, I just bought the Kirkland balls, and they were $28 for 2 dozen. I’m an 8 handicap, I also have the Kirkland wedges and love them.
I’m a 13 handicap. I use the Vice Pro Plus, I love this ball for my high swing speed and give me touch around the green. I’m about to compare that with the Oncore x2. Let me know if there anymore o should try.
I am playing the Kirkland. Same two balls for 3 rounds. It’s been great. Soft feel, no drop in distance, and good around the green (feels good putting also). I was playing titliest tour soft before. I like the Kirkland better. 11 handicap.
WHS of 12 and still told I'm a bandit. Used the Kirkland but as said, it is shorter and very noticeably so. I did enjoy the Q Star Tour but maybe a touch soft very nice ball though, currently using Titleist Tour Speed similar mid-higher price, it's long (for me) and stops on the greens, mostly. I have used the Triad as some one has said it's a toss up for me between tour speed and Triad
I use Kirkland golf balls, gloves, and Kirkland wedges and am very with each. My short game has improved dramatically since I bought the wedges. The gloves are top notch and the balls are good for my game. I was happy to get a couple dozen of the new v3 balls a couple weeks ago. They are supposed to be more durable than the v2 balls featured in this video. Love Kirkland’s golf offerings. (I haven’t tried the putter yet.). I played with our local pro’s father-in-law last week and he just calls me Mr. Kirkland.
12 handicap, been using the QStar Divide for three years now. I llive in Florida and play all year. I use the yellow orange combo. I can see it everywhere.
Im off 12 handicap and play Callaway chromesoft truvis. Bought in bulk 18 months ago and got 36 balls for £70. Look great, feel great and easy to find in the rough
Totally agree with the Srixon Soft Feel golf ball...it's horrendous around the greens!
Kirkland ball...you can't beat the price and it's great around the greens. They do scuff up...but I bought 2 dozen for 19.99 US dollars.
Played the new Kirkland and it’s okay. Yes the cover marks up easily. For me saw a distant drop off about a club. Might be launching higher with spin and losing yardage. Green side play is good and putts well. Good price point for 2 dozen.
I used the Srixon QStar Tour for about a year. Great ball for the price! 12.4 handicap.
I use the 2022 OnCore ELIXR (more dimples) which is a 3 piece ball and I’m a 15 hdp. I did find a TP5 pix on the course and tee’d it up over a lake and the ball flight was long and penetrating, unfortunately my 50° wedge skulled it out of bounds over the green and I couldn’t find it. I may buy a dozen $49.99 just for comps. (In 2 different senior leagues).
Used Kirkland signature 2’s to win my only golf comp (24 H’cap). Srixons I seem to loose too quickly, and find a lot so I’m not alone!
Callaways seem to stay in bounds when i is them, but play Pro V1’s I find
I have tried and lost most, I don't like Titleist too clicky off the face. I really like the alignment aid on the TM Tour Response Stripe, they also feel very nice off the face and when putting.
I’m a 15.8 handicap player(was as low as 9.8) with a 105-108mph driver speed and as I naturally launch the ball to high with heaps of spin I needed a low launch/low spin ball and I’ve used the titleist AVX and scored my 1st ever eagle with it from 128 metres out(140 yards) and I love that ball,but as it’s a mid compression ball I wanted to try something a bit firmer I stumbled across the Bridgestone tour B X and I’ve found a gem of a ball,can hold greens and get great distance and it goes great in the wind,1st time I used it,it was blowing 21kph winds and I hit 10/14 fairways so I’ll be using that ball for a while in competition but for practice I’ll use the AVX
I've been using the TaylorMade Tour Response since trying them last year and was impressed with how durable they are compared with both similar urethane-cover balls and the cheaper ionomer balls. They feel superb and are good all rounders in the mid market ball segment.
Pretty pricey though, aren't they?
A bit yes, about 40 euros a box of 12 in a shop, but can be bought cheaper online.
Love the video. I am a 63 year old with slow 85 MPH swing. I am hoping the ERC ball works for me
my current favorite ball is now the WILSON STAFF MODEL ....great ball...good distance nice feel and great spin around the green....was a callaway chromesoft fan boy ( TRU TRACK , TRUVIS ) not a fan of PRO V1's.....am a 7 handicap....cheers from Canada
I’ve been using the ERC for 2 seasons and really like this ball for my slower senior swing speed. Perform great off the tee, in the fairway, and on/around the green.
I even brought a few to my driver fitting so I could get fit using the ball I use.
Got a sleeve for christmas. Great balls.
I used the Srixon Q Star tour but my handicap of about 26 probably doesn't justify it! Good ball, urethane cover, but also relatively soft compression.
Nice choice of ball Tim
Currently playing the Srixon Q Star Tour, but preferred the 2020 version over the new one that came out in 2022. Considering switching to Taylormade Tour Response or one of the Vice offerings. Tried the Kirkland, but way too spinny for me. Any other suggestions for a 95 mph driver swing speed?
The only one I would disagree with is the Kirkland. It’s a very high spin ball and I believe it would exaggerate the misses of mid handicap players. I’d aim more for a lower spinning urethane ball.
The kirklands do spin way too much for me, off the driver. Great round the green though, and the price is good.
I play off 8 and use the Snell MTB ball - I used to use the ProV1 but really can't tell the difference in performance, particularly off the putter...
Hello,
Handicap 8.5,
I'm not spending $40 or more for a dozen premium balls.
I use the snell prime for the summer months or fast greens, when it's wet, I use the snell prime X. Also sometimes I use Vice pro soft, about the same price. Golf spy says there built well compared to the Q Star.
Keep up the good work.
I find a lot of pro V 1s and TP5. So I am swapping my Kirkland’s for those because they are easy to find. At 9 handicap the ball that seems to work best for me is the Bridgestone BXS. Yes that hard ass Bryson ball.
Im currently using Srixon Z Star XV. Recently bought Kirkland, great value but dont last. I think i should use a softer ball as my (driver) swing speed is around 75-80mph. Would happily play the QStar
I'm a somewhat sandbagged 10 GHIN. I am slowly using up my Kirkland balls at about 1 per round - either I lose a ball or scuff the cover. I already have a 5-dozen bulk purchase of Snell MTB Black balls. In a couple of years, when I need to buy more balls, I'll buy a 3-piece ball, urethane cover, optimized for high launch.
16 HCP - have used the ERC - didn't care for it. I can't believe you didn't include Titleist. I use the Trufeel for the price it is an excellent ball - and its very durable!
Funny you should say that about the Srixon soft feel. I'm just getting back into golf after a few years off due to an injury. I hadn't purchased any golf balls in years. I went to the local store and picked up a dozen of these mainly due to their low cost and coming from Srixon. When Srixon came out some years back and were new to the market, I grabbed a dozen of theirs, not sure of the ball model though and were impressed. Anyway, I find I am hitting them fairly well from the tee and approach are fine but what I'm finding is when I'm chipping. They seem to bounce off the club well and are running faster than I expect so am going by the pin an extra couple of feet from what I've done in the past. I still have a couple sleeves left so will use them up but think I'll be trying the Wilson Duo Soft. I can't see myself spending more than $30 a dozen for the amount of time I can actually get in a round.
I use the Oncore Vero X1 in the summer and the Oncore Elixir in the winter. 16 handicap. Use to like the Kirkland, but hated the feel on the putting green in the winter. Like hitting a rock.
18 handicap here with slower swing speed so I tend to go for softer feel 2-piece balls. Recently starting using Callaway Supersoft....I like it so far but the jury is still out.
I presently use the Kirkland ball and I am a 22 handicap player. I normally lose them before they get scuffed up.
Thanks!! When I was younger and working I could afford a golf club membership. Now I’m retired and the membership was just too much money for monthly dues and the every other year “assessment” (~$5K). I still have dozens of Titleist golf balls I found on that course. Anyway, I was pleased to see the ERC Soft the list. I’m not going to change until Callaway stops making them. Dave Pelz, short game and putting guy says play the same ball ALL THE TIME. Different balls do go different distances. Amateurs play different balls all the time and wonder why they are inconsistent. Duh!
Bridgestone e12 contact balls work best for me and 2nd would be the Kirkland V2. I have tried several and these would be my choice.
I play the TaylorMade Tour Response for me it’s the best all rounder. I have tried the Srixon Q Star I agree it is an excellent ball. But for me I prefer the slightly more firmness of the TaylorMade.
Just running into this video a little late but I just wanted to add my 2 cents to the conversation. I have tested almost every ball in my home simulator and I would have to agree with just about everything you have said here. The ERC soft is so long off the tee and low spin off the low irons, it goes miles. The Q star tour goes a bit shorter but plays great, I love the orange/Yellow divide personally. The Soft feel to me is the best feeling ball around because of the soft interaction with the clubs and putter but it doesn't spin at all on wedge shots and it's well shorter for me as someone with a 108 SS with the driver. The Kirkland for me at least is way too spinny with the irons, kind of balloons up and loses distance. My friend who swings a little slower loved them when I gave him a sleeve last year.
My personal favorite is the Titleist AVX. If you like a softer feel ball but want basically the same distance as a harder compression ball, this is the one to play. Buy them 4A/5A on EBAY for half the price of new and call it a day. Love the channels, keep up the great work.
18 handicap. I play a couple rounds a week year around. If I'm honest, I play lost balls I find most of the time. The longest ball I have hit is a Titleist AVX. Found it in the creek and waited a couple holes before using it. Dramatic increase in distance. Lower flight, even with chips (which is my preference). I've played the same ball for two full rounds and my partners have noticed the distance difference as well. I'd never purchase one though. They cost nearly $5 a ball! The course I play has a lot of water, so I never get too attached to any one brand.
Handicap index 9.4. I play whatever I find out of our lakes at my club. I don’t care for some cheap balls (topflite, pinnicle, ultra…). But I just don’t notice the differences enough to notice. But I do fish out ton of Pro Vs and other top brand golf balls out of our lakes. I suspect most are buying balls their game doesn’t measure up to.
Use what I find, but only if it's a top or mid-tier ball. If I were buying a pack of balls today would probably be Vice Pro (2x dozen for discount) or Srixon Z Star (buying 2 dozen also gets a discount) or Q Star Tour
I play Vice Pro and/or Snell MTB. Both are great golf balls and offer real value and quality performance. I am a 12 index.
I use both q star your and to a less degree the Calloway chrome soft. I like the srixion as lower priced than the chrome soft BUT my priority is enough spin to stop on the greens. Chrome soft has a little less spin than prov1, and the q star tour a little less than the chrome soft. Bottom line is more run out for both than prov1 but I much prefer the lower compression and softer feel given my slower swing speed as a senior golfer. I just cannot properly compress the prov1.
Hi Alex, I'm a 22 handicapper and I use Taylormade TP5 pix
I am playing to a 6.3 hcp. I have been playing Srixon Z-Star and Bridgestone e12 balls for the last 6 months. I love the Callaway ERC on "warmish" days but found it too sluggish on cold days. For some reason I cannot hit Titleist golf balls for 💩 I have been finding lost Kirkland golf balls left and right (no pun intended) over the last year.
14.7 currently playing the Vice Pro after they offered to support me as a disabled golfer, gaming Bridgestone tour b xs before the Vice deal came through
callaway super fast and super soft are my fav.The superfast fly and roll like a beast.
Love the Srixon Q Star Tour and have been using it for years. Also used the Callaway ERC Soft and I give it a “meh” as it’s not very durable.
I’m 13.8 and use the srixon AD333. Brilliant balls in my opinion.
Thise were/are nice😁
Over winter i use Tour Special , made by Srixon and cheap ! Other months Callaway Chrome Soft.
Im using the Oncore Vero X1. Liking them a lot
My best round of the year was with a found Kirkland ball. Currently play the Softfeel. Considering a change now!!
Update, bought a box of Kirkeys and tied my low 9 of the year, which was also a Kirkland round.
I’ve been using the erc for 2 years and I love them
Playing the orange and yellow Q Star Tour. No loss of performance in cold weather. Does all I want a ball to do.
I’m a 12 handicap an I’ve been playing with the vice pro soft drip and also the callaway super soft in the yellow color way
Moved from TaylorMade Soft Response to Callaway Supersoft recently, purchased mainly due to being on offer. Callaway superior in my opinion, nicer feel of driver, irons, wedges and putter and give me more control around the green. Welk it seems that way at least.
Looking at playing zstar later in the year as talking it over with my coach he reckons they could benefit me and my developing game. Tried a few in lessons and they feel better than the Callaways I currently play.
No handicap yet, but my coach reckons mid-handicapper from what he sees in lessons and my Trackman data and Combine Tests.
QST is a great golf ball. If one has yet to try it then just do it. IMO the best ball at that price point. I also like the Vice Pro as well. If you want to stretch and buy 5 doz the Vice Pro get real close to the K Sig in price too. 😊
As for the ERC. I think the TM Tour Response is a much better ball at $39.99. 😮
I am playing off a 12 hcp and i play Vice Pro & Q Star Tour.
I've been playing the Chrome Soft for years. I found a Callaway Super Hot in some tall grass and decided I'd try out "the funny orange ball." Honestly, best ball for me that I've ever hit. I'm getting better distance and accuracy off the tee and have had no short game issues. I haven't tried the ERC. I'll have to try it out, but still haven't been able to lose the Super Hot I found.
I really loved Nike balls. Ever since I am looking for a replacement. Well now I only buy affordable ones. Last year it was Srixon AD333 and this year Mizuno RB566. Handicap 14
I use the Srixon QStar tour only. Really nice ball all round for me as a mid handicapper
Srixon Distance. I’m not that good or play that often to distinguish between good/bad balls. What would you recommend for 20 handicap? I play about 15/20 rounds a year
The Kirklands are phenomenal until you hit something slightly abrasive and then the cover is gone. Recently I've been playing the Maxfli straightfli or the warbird 2.0
I use whatever ball i feel like that's in good shape. I generally play a ball from cut golf, and oftentimes the red. All golf balls are going to give you low spin off the driver, it's greenside where the urethane ones spin more.
I’m a 14hcp. I am using callaway chromesoft (truvis & triple track), Bridgestone tour B RXS, Srixon Q star tour.
