Winter Golf

Anybody else switching to a lower compression ball for winter? 

[phizzy30]

I already play the AVX soooooo......yes?

In the winter I play all my found golf balls. Don't have to worry about losing them plus lucky to get out as it is

I've never thought of it. Thx for bringing it up.

It doesn't get THAT cold in california, but I might test it out to see the difference. 

Cheers.

Yes. I usually lay Bridgestone E6 Speed balls and switch to Titleist Trufeel. I got the Trufeel in Matte Red- for the glare and leaves as well. Tomorrow will be my first full round with the lower compression ball- we’ll see.

Wilson Duo soft spin, year in year out, but then I play persimmon woods and am always looking for a ball that has the soft feel of titleist tour balata 90s from days gone by.

Typically play the Zstar and switch to either the Qstar, E12 soft or the Wilson urethane balls. Huge difference in feel and comfort hitting a low compression ball during the silly season

Update: I really liked the Trufeel. It wasn’t that cold today 50’s-60’s ish. I did notice that they were longer with my short irons than the E6 Speed. Driver was similar and they were nice around the green sand great to putt with. At $22/box, they’re a great ball. I may switch from the E6’s and E12’s I usually play. I wonder if they’ll play different on a 80 degree day.

From Soft Feel to SuperSoft. 

[Daddygamer22]

Bridgestone E12 soft or found balls.

[Deebo76]

Callaway Supersoft

[gripandrip]

Bridgestone TreSoft. Cheap.. decent performance. I buy then used form golfballsdirect, usually about $10/dozen... but can go on sales as low as $7.50. Easy not to stress over losing a ball in the leaves or snow at that price.

Me too. I can't post scores anyway, so don't see any point in using a new golf ball.

D2+ Feels for me. Still have a few dozen sitting in the closet.

Do they stop on the green like balata?

 

[Bruceapex]

I don’t spin em back like, say, tiger might, I try to drop and stop them. I hit high shots that fall out of the sky and land within inches of my ball mark. Sand shot that bounce once and stop. So, yes, I’m quite happy with that amount of spin.

Used to play the 50/50s or Duo's, but went over to the Cally Super Softs.  Marshmellows off the face, but perform pretty well in the colder weather.

[xkilgorextroutx]

Played the Duo Soft+ yesterday, it was 42 when we teed off, high of 55 when we walked off 18. Felt fine, it definitely got blown offline in some stronger gusts, but it was also usually within a foot or two of my pitch marks.

Played the Srixon Soft Feel yesterday in 40 degree weather. Pretty good, cheap and easy to find
