myu3777 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 My choice of ball have been either Bridgestone B330 or Pro V1. But very intersted in trying out other JDM offering such as Mizuno Cross Eight to see how it stack up again B330 & Pro V1. Any one got any experience with Mizuno ball? Thanks!

xchangmanx Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I've been trying out the Srixon urc. Soft off all my clubs, good spin. Same as always the cover gets messup by the 4th hole. But I have the same opinion, Bridgestone and Prov1 are what I play most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 If you're asking for the top "TOUR" JDM ball the reigning champ for years has been the Tourstage X-Series with two 4 piece balls currently on top, the X-01R4 which is harder and max spin and the X-01G4 which is softer with high spin. The Mizuno ball closest would be the 352S as it's the softer of the two Cross Eight Tours which are both 3 piece. If you like a softer ball, the new 3 piece GranZ Premium is getting raving reviews for all around play and soft feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw those in the Pro Shop they look like worthy competitors to the Pro V1 & Pro V1x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw those in the Pro Shop they look like worthy competitors to the Pro V1 & Pro V1x Yes I forgot to mention those.... they are targeting the same perfomrnace as the Pro V1 and Pro V1x. Initial feedback from testing pros has been very positive and if you like the Titelist balls the PRGR are definitely worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myu3777 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I agree on Srixon URC's cover not as durable as other. I had also tried TourStage X-01R4 which I feel is little shorter on distance but it does has great spin. I also tried Hyper ERC which is opposite of TS (little longer but less spin). I will look into getting a box of PRGR and possibly Mizuno as well. Thanks for the input everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both had better feel for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And less common on the course so easier to identify ;-) The E5 is also good, but doesn't have the same response on chips and short pitches etc. Used to love the old U-Tri Tour....... May try the PRGR mentioned - coops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
