I've played lots of balls over the years. Just got 2 dozen Kirkland performance and 1 dozen TaylorMade tour response for Xmas. Once I lose these I'll look in the woods for more 👍
This has nothing to do with this video but one of your previous videos and I can't remember which, whatever. You mentioned in that video, and this was only a brief mention and not the focus of the video, that one should "post" their left leg (make it straight) towards the end of one's swing. So if you're wondering if you are making a difference out here in golf land be assured that you are, because that one "instruction" has improved my game by 50 -60 %. No one ever told me to "post" my left leg. I tried it and like a miracle everything in my swing came together! Thank you so very much.
Boss, I am following you since day one of your youtube and you are very great honest pointer on black and white in golf awesome contents and thank you so much
I started gaming the chrome tour with a free box and was very surprised. I didn't want to like them but I love them. I just got some chrome tour x to try out. I've been playing the proV1, prov1x, tp5, tp5x, and the Bridgestone bx. Chrome Tour is my go to for now. We will see how the tour x performs.
Funny how people have different likes when it comes to the feel of a golf ball. I'm at a 6.5 handicap right now and I swing at around 108 mph with the driver and I will not play anything but an AVX or a Chrome Soft ball. I just got so used to playing the super softs and soft feel balls when I was learning to play that I can't stand the feel of the hard compression balls at all, especially around the greens and putting. I know I am losing some distance off the tee but it's worth it to me.
So glad you covered this. I just want to know if the Chrome Tour stops. Srixon Q star Tour and Z star are my currents. If the Chrome Tour stops on the green, get me a box of those in TT. Lets see
Got to hit these a couple weeks ago granted they were in a white box from Callaway lol. They felt great though to me a big improvement over the current chrome soft and chrome soft x. I'm switching to them from the TP5 myself.
I went from chrome soft to vice pro. I also play vice pro soft. If there’s a difference in the 2 vice balls I can’t really tell. I think they are excellent balls. They stop on a dime and backup on more full wedge shots.
Vice is pretty good just a little too spiny on the driver for me. Tend to lose these and Kirklands the most cause of the extra spin on it. Wish they were little less spiny cause I got my only hole in one and I chip in all the time with the vice lol
Love the video, I just came from Callaway HQ and watched them do the same test, of course the Chrome Tour X out performed the Prov1x. By 1000 rpms, and 5 mph ballspeed. I'm glad you put this out there for public consumption. Getting tired of all these bold claims by OEMs.
"Don't Do That" is a great line. I believe for most golfers that aren't consistently scoring in the 70's pick a ball and stick with the same one so you eliminate one variable . Just as you tested, those balls are so close in performance it really doesn't matter for most golfers.
Ive hit with a lot of premium balls recently. I do have a few favorites, but honestly just buy whichever premium ball is on sale. Unless you're a tour player its not going to matter so much. With that said my fav ball right now is the TP5X
Tp5x is literally the worst ball for most golfers. 5 layers and very firm hardest ball to compress on the Market. I hope you have a fast clubbed speed or you passing away distance and especially forgiveness
@@PIP-zf9yb i love the firm feel of it and prefer a lower spinning ball because i already hit super high and far. I carry about 270-280 with the driver
I received a couple boxes last fall of Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X. I love the CTX! Such a good ball off driver, iron, and putting. The Tour is good but too low spin for me. My buddy spins the balls way too much and loves the Chrome Tour. I definitely will be playing Callaway Chrome Tour x this year!! Great video MSG!
Bought a dozen of these the other day to test them out, will be trying them out soon hopefully. I do like Softer feeling golf balls, lower spin driver and more spin on the wedges. Be interesting to see how they are. Seem like they should match my game really well
Great video. I cant wait to get the Chrome Tour X. The 3 main balls I played last summer was the Taylor Made TP5, the Callaway Chrome Soft X, and the ProV1x. Should be fun. Love the numbers on your review.
I found a Bridgestone tour B RX while playing and found it performed as well as the ProV purchased a box and they were 17 dollars cheaper, I've tried different brands of Callaway balls and haven't found one yet that gives me distance and playability around the greens like Titleist Pro V and now BS B RX. 🤪🇺🇲
I picked up a box of the B RX in December. Going to try them in the Spring. I saw they are coming out with a new B RX this year. Its fun trying out new things
@@cleveland2022I play year round in Florida and find a lot of golf balls to try out for free and your right, it's always fun trying out something new especially when you don't have to spend a fortune 😂 I guarantee you'll like the B RX, maybe I'll find one of the Callaway chromes soon 🤔🤪🇺🇲
i feel like i’ve been seeing more critical comments of how he runs his channel but it’s really just the titles have gotten more click bait-y, yet the content is still easily digestible. i like the country club tour videos when you show the locker room and what free shit they have lol
Picked up the Chrome Tour (gold) today. Very informative and specific detailed comparisons. The one thing you didn't touch on was players who are now 55+ (56 soon! lol) who's swing speed has decreased due to age and things like physical restrictions due to arthritis, etc. Having said that, do I take the 'Tour' back and get the 'Tour X' or does my slower swing speed garner using the 'Tour' (gold) ball. I should add that my HC is approx. 6.8 while playing the blue tees regularly. Thank you very much.
I got a sleve of the chrome tour. Can't play till I get back home in a few weeks BUT chipping with a brand new rtx 6 zipcore in the backyard about 15 to 20 yards they feel much much better than tge older x-ls
I would love to see this data with all of the SEED balls. I’ve never tried those. I have been playing with the PXG ball this year and I surprisingly like it around the greens and especially putting with the alignment on them
The more consistent your swing and setup the more you will keep your ball in play, I've tried balls that I hear many people say is rubbish and scored very well with them, you will lose the most expensive ball quite easily if you don't play it right. My son and I have tried almost all ball's on the market and find most are similar in performance 3hc by the way.
What is the durability like? I am not the fastest swinger in the world (around 90mph with the driver) and kept scuffing the Chrome Soft X a lot quicker than a Pro V1X.
Until next week. I play Vice Pros or Maxfli Tour. I actually think they are the same ball with a different label. I have a vendor who gives me ProV1s and they sit on the shelf.
Interesting ball comparison, I play the Chrome Soft now, so I will be trying the Chrome Tour. On a side note: I have a Optishot BallFlight Simulator and am looking for a good hitting mat. I like the set up you have, can you tell me the brand of the mat? Thanks Bill
I recently Got fitted for a driver for the first time. I happen to have a 110 clubbhead speed but I'm still new to the game. Could u do a video for golf balls that are cheep for fast clubhead swings. I'm not rich but love the game. Thankyou
This is all subjective I supposed and there are a lot of variables , but I have played Pro V1s since they came out and was excited to test these. I actually found that the Chrome tour was much firmer feeling than the Pro V1. From 30 yds in and around the greens, it felt like I was hitting a rock. I find it interesting that he found it to feel too soft. Even if you feel the cover with your thumb nail, it feels harder than the Pro V1. I'm gonna stick with my Pro Vs
Can you do one of these vs the Costco Kirkland ball. please. seems the Kirkland ball was getting same numbers at ProV1x, but Id like to see my favourite and best Golf You Tuber do one.
I thought that a TP5 was the best feeling golf ball I ever hit….until I hit Chrome Tour last weekend. I did find that it typically went straight even as I was drawing the ball with TP5. The other thing I saw (and subsequently have seen on other comments) is that durability isn’t great. Two sand shots and it was pretty scuffed. Really love it otherwise though
You've got the game to spend $55/dozen ... My game is great with Kirkland ... I don't lose many golf balls in a round, but my handicap is too high to be a golf ball snob. Just saying ... Appreciate your reviews, as always!!!
Great video Matt! Every spring I try 3 or 4 different balls to which is best for me for the year, I've been ProV1X the last few years. I'll try the the Chrome tour X and 2 others do you have any recommendations on the other 2 I should try? I'm 71 years old I have tried and liked the Bridgestones but they need to be replaced after 9 holes (not acceptable) I've thought about the maxfli and maybe the TP5X what do you think?
I got a video for you. I love the way you talk the way you pause. It just makes me laugh. Not making fun of the way you talk. It's just the way you talk, but I'd love to see your children if they have an imitation of you. Maybe even one of you getting mad.
Would love to see you review direct to consumer brands such as Vice Oncore and Seed. I have tried them and been impressed they tend to be 30% to 40% less $s similar performance to titlist
I get the prov for 25 bucks a dozen half price. Best ball for me has been the ERC soft. I pay the same price for those and tp5, find a ball that works best all the way around for your game. Scores will be lower faster that way.
Can’t really compare these results without clubhead speed/smash factor. Especially with driver, how do we know one carry is actually longer or if you just swung faster?
Idk why titalist is touted as the best ball when it isn’t, it hasn’t been objectively better in years. At this point it’s all preference, TP5s spin more than all balls, call away usually gets more distance with comparable spin to titalist, Bridgestone and srixon are also good balls. It’s all preference
The chrome soft tour X carried 156 compared to the other 3 you tested being in the 5-6 yard range of each other in that 166-172 range? Safe to say the chrome soft tour X is not the ball for players either swing speed in the range of yours. I find that interesting that the one ball out of the 4 carried so low in yardage.
chrome soft still exists, from my understanding better players shy away from balls with "soft" in the name going after more distance so they made a new ball to capture that market more. The roll back isnt until 2030 for recreational golfers
There is also a newer Chrome Soft in 2024. No the rollback isnt going to happen in 2030, if ever. I cant see any Tour adopting a rolled back ball when the ball, contrary to what the USGA says, is not the problem
I understand what you mean by titliest is the best. But how many others have you tried? Theres too many!. Can you review the bridgestone tour BXS.? I use these. They would give ANY ball a run for its money.
I would like to know the loft of each club. The number stamped on the bottom of each club doesn't concern me regarding the statistics for each ball. The driver loft in most test cases is revealed.
Here’s my problem, and maybe you can help me here, Matt. My gamer is the Chrome Soft X LS. I’m very nervous about switching because I’ve tested just about everything in 2023. I don’t know that either of these balls are for me. What do you think?
I can’t even lie .i found a callaway chrome soft and I played it and drove the ball the rest of the day the farthest I ever have in my life .i always used mid level balls like mizuno sb556,tru feels,Kirkland (this years model )
If these balls can get some traction, they are really good. As titleist includes resale/refurbish balls in their sold ball count, no one will ever catch up to them.
I have shot a 79 with a ProV1 and a Pinnacle. It is not the ball. It is the golfer. My score was just due to how well I played that day. Longer??? Not really. I play several courses on a regular basis. I have noticed I hit the same distance no matter what ball I use. If it looks like I really hit it long, it is because I had a good swing and hit the ball on the club face where you are suppose to do.
Not sure how meaningful it is to try to do a comparison using half-swing pitch shots. There's almost certainly going to be some significant variance from swing to swing, much more so than with full swing shots.
Shot the lowest score of my life with a Top Flite, lol. I didn’t lose it during the round or even have to look for it. I am not spending $55 for a dozen balls.
Totally agree. I had a great fitter last summer when I got fit for my new driver and he gave me ball recommendations for the new driver, 2 of the 3 I was already playing
Performance? The best ball? Really you should be saying the best ball for you. Last year I switched from TP5 to Vice Pro (after testing several other possibilities, figuring that I was getting older and losing a few MPH, which was costing me yardage) and picked up yardage without giving up spin around the greens or feel. Saved a ton of money too. Different swing speeds and attack angles mean that different balls work better for different people. There is no objectively “best ball.” It always comes down to best ball for the particular golfer. (Anyway, the governing bodies have screwed us with the new rules on balls anyway, so it really only matters for a few years when we’ll all have to figure it out all over again.)
After watching numerous videos on high performance balls it seems that Vice Pros have been a serious competitor for the all the high end performance balls it has competed with. This at about 30 dollars a dozen. why not include this in your comparison? Golf is expensive enough without paying an extra 25 bucks for snob appeal.
I have been playing the Vice Pro Plus and the Maxfli Tour X. These club companies overhype and over price their balls that perform no better then some DTC balls.
It's just all marketing. For 99% of the golfers on the planet, the ball makes ZERO difference in their game since they're going to lose it in the next hole or two. That is a good point on brand loyalty, though. Instead of $55 for a dozen balls, spend the money on lessons.
Only a fool would pay $54 or $54. You can buy good balls for like $20. Even less. For the average golfer, the ball makes no difference. None whatsoever. Such bullshit.
Hit the ball you can afford to loose is what I say. I wouldn’t pay for higher priced if you’re loosing more than 6 in a round. Of course if you’re like the ding dongs I play with your find 5 for every 1 you loose while I’m waiting on them to get back on……..😂😂
I've played lots of balls over the years. Just got 2 dozen Kirkland performance and 1 dozen TaylorMade tour response for Xmas. Once I lose these I'll look in the woods for more 👍
I find plenty of Kirklands on the courses I play. I'll trade you those for any Callaway balls you find. 😉
@@dannyb.3924 👍🏌️ I like the Callaway chrome soft, but lately I'm into anything TaylorMade...I do like the Kirkland and the Vice
TaylorMade Tour Response is a good ball and reasonably priced. Kirkland’s are ok in hot weather, but the price is right.
@@dannyb.3924😂😂😂 great comment
I have a bout 1.3k balls I’ve been collecting over the years. The only ball I bought was a cool shiny one at goodwill for 50 cents lol

Chrome soft ! Darn good for older Guys
A lot of folks are finding higher spin with the chrome tour over the Chrome Tour x
Chrome Tour really long and great in the wind. Over 70 and still can move it!
Titleist avx. Absolutely the right ball for me. Longer, straighter, still spins around the green.
I got a sleve of the chrome tour. Can't play till I get back home in a few weeks BUT chipping with a brand new rtx 6 zipcore in the backyard about 15 to 20 yards they feel much much better than tge older x-ls

Tour x is going to be great Callaway has by far one of the best. Going to get away from Titleist notice some differences between ball to ball
That was funny “Don’t do that”!
What is the durability like? I am not the fastest swinger in the world (around 90mph with the driver) and kept scuffing the Chrome Soft X a lot quicker than a Pro V1X.
How it feels with the putter is extremely important. You hit that club the most. You want a ball you like the feel of or you just aren’t gonna use it.
I agree with that
Until next week. I play Vice Pros or Maxfli Tour. I actually think they are the same ball with a different label. I have a vendor who gives me ProV1s and they sit on the shelf.
Could you add a #4 hybrid in your ball tests for old guys who use that off the tee! Enjoyed the piece. Thanks

You need to glue down your hitting strip. It bounces significantly on impact which will alter the LM data.
Add left dash to the mix

The other thing I saw (and subsequently have seen on other comments) is that durability isn’t great. Two sand shots and it was pretty scuffed. Really love it otherwise though

More spin around the greens better for our hard Arizona greens?
If you are good enough. A golfer who gets spin half of the time will be short or long half of the time.
What's your favorite ball for the typical mid-handicapper(85-95 range)?
I get the prov for 25 bucks a dozen half price.
Best ball for me has been the ERC soft.
I pay the same price for those and tp5, find a ball that works best all the way around for your game.
Scores will be lower faster that way.
don't underestimate the Wilson Staff Triad or the Srixon Q Star Tour . and yes I've done my own comparisons .
Can’t really compare these results without clubhead speed/smash factor. Especially with driver, how do we know one carry is actually longer or if you just swung faster?
You didn’t include club head speed. The standard deviation is too great for this to be a valid test
Or average smash
I don’t know how people like the feel of Pro v1 x- it’s hard as a rock. I’m sure the Chrome tour X feels very similar
Are these the same as pros use or are balls especially made for pros?
Consistency and tighter tolerances cost more.
I'm going to buy 1000 balls a year until 2030 and when the rollback happens, BINGO! ebay millionaire!
😂😂😂😂. Im stocking up too. Im up to 11 new boxes already

There is no chrome soft tour x.

He tested the last 2 versions. I think.
I'm still gaming my Kirkland signature plus. My 19 handicap doesn't know the difference between them and a pro-v1 anyway....

Do ball comparison vice pro vs vice pro plus vs prov s
Are these replacing Chrome Soft or are they new in the lineup? Also are these balls "rolled back" as per the new USGA rule?

I have shot a 79 with a ProV1 and a Pinnacle. It is not the ball. It is the golfer. My score was just due to how well I played that day. Longer??? Not really. I play several courses on a regular basis. I have noticed I hit the same distance no matter what ball I use. If it looks like I really hit it long, it is because I had a good swing and hit the ball on the club face where you are suppose to do.
I'll play any ball I find in the woods looking for mine...
Not sure how meaningful it is to try to do a comparison using half-swing pitch shots. There's almost certainly going to be some significant variance from swing to swing, much more so than with full swing shots.
No. Geezus. 😂
What is the best ball for the poors? I’ve been gaming the Titleist TruFeel
When i first started playing i really liked the Callaway Warbird
For me it's putting first than wedge than driver "don't do that" he says as I hit send..😢
😂😂😂
Shot the lowest score of my life with a Top Flite, lol. I didn’t lose it during the round or even have to look for it. I am not spending $55 for a dozen balls.
People get fit for clubs all day long but forget to get fit for golf balls. :/
Totally agree. I had a great fitter last summer when I got fit for my new driver and he gave me ball recommendations for the new driver, 2 of the 3 I was already playing
Kirkland won the amateur player golf ball conversation a few years ago lol
Wonderful… figures.
The price and ambient temperature largely determines a best ball for you
Callaway or Titleist for the same price? Titleist is a no brainer.
Why? Maybe the callaways are better for you? Try them out on the course or take some to a sim and try them there. You won’t know unless you try them
Chrome Tour X . . . and you save a penny. What's not to love?
I agree. And that helps with my new Porsche! 😊
Would rather use the callaway all day.
Snell's are very good and $20 a dozen less than the big boys.
Those 7 iron spin numbers are way too low. What club is that?
All of these numbers are off lol.
Mats will do that!
Grass lower, more spin in general.
You misspelled "descent."
good luck in Good Good..
Performance? The best ball? Really you should be saying the best ball for you. Last year I switched from TP5 to Vice Pro (after testing several other possibilities, figuring that I was getting older and losing a few MPH, which was costing me yardage) and picked up yardage without giving up spin around the greens or feel. Saved a ton of money too. Different swing speeds and attack angles mean that different balls work better for different people. There is no objectively “best ball.” It always comes down to best ball for the particular golfer. (Anyway, the governing bodies have screwed us with the new rules on balls anyway, so it really only matters for a few years when we’ll all have to figure it out all over again.)
He did say that dumb dumb! Did you even watch the video?
He did say best ball for him in the beginning of the video
After watching numerous videos on high performance balls it seems that Vice Pros have been a serious competitor for the all the high end performance balls it has competed with. This at about 30 dollars a dozen. why not include this in your comparison? Golf is expensive enough without paying an extra 25 bucks for snob appeal.
I have been playing the Vice Pro Plus and the Maxfli Tour X. These club companies overhype and over price their balls that perform no better then some DTC balls.
What an idiot
All the numbers back to front with what companies say their balls do.
Maybe they are but the Callaway Chrome Soft LS (low spin) balls are the worst. Wholly crap.....they feel good but are just terrible, lol
It's just all marketing. For 99% of the golfers on the planet, the ball makes ZERO difference in their game since they're going to lose it in the next hole or two. That is a good point on brand loyalty, though. Instead of $55 for a dozen balls, spend the money on lessons.
Only a fool would pay $54 or $54. You can buy good balls for like $20. Even less. For the average golfer, the ball makes no difference. None whatsoever. Such bullshit.
This episode was "decent"
The best ball is a found ball
Hit the ball you can afford to loose is what I say. I wouldn’t pay for higher priced if you’re loosing more than 6 in a round. Of course if you’re like the ding dongs I play with your find 5 for every 1 you loose while I’m waiting on them to get back on……..😂😂
save a penny? cmon man
