Posted April 25, 200519 yr comment_92169 i was wondering if any of you guys had any suggestions for a durable 3/4 peice golf ball. im currently using ProV1's & im sick of replacing balls after every 2/3 holes or after a wedge shot, even after long iron shots after really getting down on it im ripping the cover. ive been thinking about going to the blackmax but if its the same situation ill stick with the ProV1's. i only get 6doz every 6 weeks from Titleist, ive been thinking i should goto the ProV1 practice balls during practice rounds & saving the regulars for tournament play. its really rediculous, after every wedge shot its as though i could peel the cover off, like i placed the ball on a grill. any ball suggestions with the ProV's characteristics?
April 25, 200519 yr comment_92184 ive noticed that 2 with the pro v1. thats y im trying the nike one gold and nike mojo. i dunno, maybe the nxt tour. they 3 piece?
April 25, 200519 yr comment_92187 how about the hx, tour or blue. might want to try the x. platinum, gold, or black. good luck
April 25, 200519 yr comment_92191 one black...i love it and with your swing speed you'd really bomb it
April 25, 200519 yr comment_92199 don't go with the hx tour, its probably less durable than the pro v1. I had a 2 ball sleeve that i got for free and was hitting it in my backyard the other day and a half wedge that landed on gravel put a big scrape on it from the wedge, and a pencil tip sized hole from a rock. Thats just not cool
April 26, 200519 yr comment_92269 Nike One Black!!! VERY durable!!! Have used them for a round + in some cases.
April 26, 200519 yr Author comment_92282 Nike One Black!!! VERY durable!!! Have used them for a round + in some cases. im gonna hafta dig in my pockets & buy a dozen! hows it with the driver @120+ swing speeds? & is it easy to control spin on wedge shots?
April 26, 200519 yr comment_92305 well i've got a 110 mph swing speed and i hit it 10-15 yards farther than a pro-v1x and as far as wedges go it spins with the best of them
April 26, 200519 yr comment_92321 HX Blue is probably the least durable ball out there, it's total putty but it's great on tarmac greens, highest spinning ball out there. I'd say you'd have to stop with the premium softcovers and play something a little harder esp in the wet damp conditions, if you hosing Pro V covers, everything else at the top end will carve up... the Nikes and Top end Top Flights and all these other mentioned balls actually sheer instead of shredding which for me is worse, the ball is rendered unaerodynamic after one hole hitting a wedge

April 26, 200519 yr comment_92341 Don't know if this helps but I found the Maxfli covers to be a good half way house, not too plasticy covered and sheering but more resiliant than the others. Not my choice for a tournament ball (mines are HX Blue for hardpan, ProV softer conditions) but good for practice bounce games. Maybe your Adidas/TM rep could sort you out.
