I have a swing speed of 85-90 and I use the Srixon Q-star tour. Seems to give me similar yardage and control to the Pro V’s. And they’re just a little over $30/dozen.
I agree with the Kirkland, Maxfli Tours balls are balanced spun too! Right about the left dash. PXG is so good! Vice is a nice cheaper ball! BXS is a very good performer! Titleist is always good, well manufactured! I just bought three dozen Wilson Staff 4 piece, buy 2 get one free. I play the Triad ( straight flight) and the Zip too! Lastly Steve why aren’t all of these manufactures “balance spinning” their balls like Maxfli Tour balls? Thanks
Great video !!! My personal preference is Srixon Z-Star Divide but I also play the Q-Star divide and the Maxfli Tour S ( fantastic ball). Brand new subscriber here. Thanks. )
There are some two piece balls that are as long or longer than the Prov1&X, like, Snell Get Some, Top Flite XL, Cut Red, Precept Laddie, Wilson Zip, etc. Thanks for the review.
I have used Bridgestone for at leased twenty years. They had another name but I loved them then and I prefer Bridge stone now. Have tried titelist pro v one . No better for me than bridgeston.
TaylorMade Tour Response has been my ball this season. I loose a little yardage over Titleist AVX of the driver, but win a few on the irons. I am a slow swinging senior.
Been playing supersofts all year and after watching 3 reviews im changing to wilson staff or just a pro v1 so inconsistent with distance, feel is unrivaled but i lose 15-20 yards
You need a golf ball with good stopping power in an Australian summer. I'm only a 90 mph swing speed with driver guy, but I have shot my lowest scores (by some margin) with the Bridgestone Tour B XS, Chrome Soft X and Titleist Pro V1x. Yes, I have played their lower compression siblings a lot and their long game is great, but they ain't stopping on the greens here in summer. Matching swing speed to a certain golf ball doesn't work for me.
Been playing Srixon Z star XV for a long time as they were the first premium ball to come out in yellow. Did try Titliest prov1x yellows when they came out but didnt see the reason to pay an extra 15 for a dozen. Interested in the diamond, never tried it.
Zstar were great, the new ones are a little soft an spinny off the tee but fantastic off irons an on greens. Prov1 is really solid all around ball. Chrome soft LS goes really long amd straight, not great around the greens though but does stick when played high and soft. Srixon diamond is 2nd best all around ball just behind prov1...not sure bout taylor made tried them a couple years ago an the cover always split open easy
I've watched a ton of golf ball videos and yours is by far the best. I'm a senior golfer swing speed 85, so I need more distance but like spin around the green. I also hit the driver on the high side so a ball that would bring the flight down would help. Other than a Pro V which ball would you recommend? I have used the Kirkland ball quite a bit and love the spin but not getting the distance from it.
Steve, what's that first trigger move you make to initiate your swing? Reminds me of Ryan Fox - who hinges up an inch or so before swinging the club. What could be the idea behind this?
Maxfli and pro plus aren't as straight or long compared to pro v1 (255 max)....i drive v1 260 and v1x 266...yet v1x I lose with all mid clubs...cant seem to compress it even with decent strikes...I ball v1 mainly (avx if windy)....7 handicap
@@Inmotion70 I just got the RZN “force” ball…can’t wait to try them. I also just hit the callaway hex “Diablo” ball which felt awesome with good spin on the greens (shot a 41 with them). I will keep ya posted on the “force”.
Pro v is the most unforgiving golf ball not recommended to high handicapper that cannot hit the sweet spot most of the time. Maybe should try to test what are the most forgiving golf ball that will benefit the not so good golfers 😂
Kirklands are just range balls without the label. No serious player uses a Kirkland. I have a vendor who gives me Pro V1s, so I play those. But I buy Vice Pros.
@@Inmotion70 perhaps I misinterpreted- in the 2020 vid 5 traits of golf balls - harder golf balls go farther at any swing speed … feel is not that important for golfers with slower swing speeds.
Avx or velocity or left dash for me Need low spin Prov1x sucked for me… Say what u want about velocity.. I just shot best round of 73 with it first time using it. Just went straighter and gave me extra bounce coming into greens
Would note the Snell Prime was not available at test time. Performs for me same as Vice Pro Plus but all Vice balls scuff quickly. Snell urethane seems tougher. Maxfli Tour CG is also a great ball, perhaps the best dispersion for me.
I can confirm the ProVI goes further than any other ball. I put it way further in the woods than any other, lol.

These videos are some of my favorites each year. Thanks for these!
MaxFli are the absolute best combination of price vs performance.
StraightFli's are crazy good off the tee for high handicapper...
OnCore Vero X1 are the balls I'm playing right now. Direct to consumer for around $40 per dozen. Great feel and distance

Great video...from my research, your list similar to mine when it comes to balls I will probably buy

Hey , like the robot testing also been playing with titles true feel wondering how they compare . I’m senior
😅

Check out MG Balls
Pro V1 for me. Titleist Tour Speed for the winter months where a bit less spin is needed
ProV1 left dash for me. Has kept many balls in play off the tee for me. With the same feel of a proV1.
The ball I will play on softer slower greens.
Driver 225-250. PV1x yellow for me, love the wedge and green side spin!
I’m going to give the ProV1x a try even though my driver swing is under 90mph. Steve, will you be doing an update video for 2024?
Been playing supersofts all year and after watching 3 reviews im changing to wilson staff or just a pro v1 so inconsistent with distance, feel is unrivaled but i lose 15-20 yards

You might try the Maxfli Tour X or the Vice Pro Plus as balls in the $30-35 range. Also PXG's new ball is very good at $40.
Vice are the best bang for the buck. Chrome some x ls are another favorite.
Kirkland is great!
Thanks for condensing it Steve!
Wilson Staff Tour. Great premium ball. got a dozen for £30
They are decent golf balls!
Steve, what's that first trigger move you make to initiate your swing? Reminds me of Ryan Fox - who hinges up an inch or so before swinging the club. What could be the idea behind this?
Old golf all was PRECEPT it was very easy to hit distant and shaping.
Not sure why, i use the wilson duo. 155 yard PW right where i want it.
The little v on the Callaway keeps one focusing better off the T when driving
Is slight mishit more penalized by a prov1x than a chrome soft?
Maxfli and pro plus aren't as straight or long compared to pro v1 (255 max)....i drive v1 260 and v1x 266...yet v1x I lose with all mid clubs...cant seem to compress it even with decent strikes...I ball v1 mainly (avx if windy)....7 handicap
What have you heard about rzn balls? I have been a Nike ball fan for about 15 years and finally ran out of them.
I wouldn't play them if they were free. :)

How is it 'unforgiving'?
@@Inmotion70 mishit on other golf ball say cost me 20 percent short or 30 degree wide of my target. Pro v will easily double that error.
Kirklands are just range balls without the label. No serious player uses a Kirkland. I have a vendor who gives me Pro V1s, so I play those. But I buy Vice Pros.
I thought slower swing speed needed a lower compression ball
Did you rethink your previous observation that we should be playing the hardest (longest off tee) ball on market?
I never said that in any of my reviews.
@@Inmotion70 perhaps I misinterpreted- in the 2020 vid 5 traits of golf balls - harder golf balls go farther at any swing speed … feel is not that important for golfers with slower swing speeds.
Kyle Berkshire sets a new speed record by hitting golf ball a staggering 236.2MPH
I think he went 240 recently.
I currently play ProV1x
Avx or velocity or left dash for me
Need low spin
Prov1x sucked for me…
Say what u want about velocity..
I just shot best round of 73 with it first time using it.
Just went straighter and gave me extra bounce coming into greens
Glad you found a ball that works for you!
Vice pro plus sold at walmart
$35 all day.
Chromesoft X LS
Much improved ball.

@@cameronlawoffices898 i actually changed to maxfli tour x recently and love it
