Hey Matt. Why did you use the Q-star tour and not the z-star. The Q-star is designed for slower swing speeds than your. I think that you would have been very surprised with the z-star performance. Very interesting test though

[@braga786]

I was also looking forward for the test on Z Star as this my kind of ball I use... And I think that Ad333 tour performe better than Q star

[@TJCombo67]

Agreed and well said. The Zstar XV is an outstanding ball IMO, I prefer the 2017 model but it’s a great ball all around.

[@geoffcohen613]

You could have 10 golfers do same test and get 11 different results today, then repeat tommorrow and get different results. Then factor in wind, and air temperature, type of iron used, loft of iron etc but main factor is.. Quality of strike will add or subtract 500rpm. If hit driver high on face vs low on face. It's best not to get too hung up on small spin differences. My experience is golfers have poor wedge technique and thin the shot, then complain the ball doesn't spin all that well.

[@markjpad]

would love to see tests on some of the less known or different type balls. Matte balls as an example. OR brands like Snell and Inesis. Or even Volvik balls. Thank you.

[@glennwiebe5128]

Good point in bringing up the balls with the matte finish. I've never used one since I assumed that they would scuff up quite easily.

[@steverhodes82]

At $60 for 3 dozen, I play the Q-Star Tour. I'm good enough to want some greenside benefit but not good enough to keep the ball out of the woods/ponds/brush etc. Good mix of cost/performance

[@johnnywaffles2482]

This is the exact problem I have. I can spin the wedges from 50-75 yards away but I also lose a lot of drives and hit every patch of water on the course. I really liked the titleist avx but they were expensive to lose all the time.

I dont think you were able to accurately show a "ball test"... I do think you were able to test balls for yourself.! nice video! a ball test must be done with a machine where purposeful speed increments can be shown with their correlative results. a person/ human hitting balls really isnt a ball test. i enjoyed seeing ball spin and speed numbers even if they arent mine. :) Again, great job!

[@1randumbguy]

Snell MTB Black and X???!!!

[@bwestby1]

Chrome soft is my favorite. Spins like hell with wedges but not with the driver. Also has a very soft feel which I personally like. A bit softer than the ProV

[@slewofdamascus]

The Titleist AVX is the best ball I have ever used. It's the longest and softest. I say this as a sub-100MPH driver swing guy. I like a soft ball because I rely on my short game for scoring. However, the AVX added 10yds to my drives. Occasionally, I try different balls. I just went through several types of bridgestone. Nowhere near as good for me. The AVX always comes out on top.

[@No_Fear_33]

The AVX is pretty good, its just the Walmart version of the ProV1x, in case you want all those things you mentioned again plus more control and distance.

[@glennwisse6271]

I play the AVX as well. Nothing walmartish about this ball. Great feel and I’ve gained driving distance as well.

[@bradfordcotta5925]

Great test. Too bad you didn't add Snell MTBx. That ball finished first in the MyGolfSpy overall testing. I play that ball or the Maxfli Tour GC. I like them both (for the money). My buddy used to be a tour rep for Titleist and he used to give me free boxes of ProV1x. When I didn't have to pay for them, that was definitely the best ball for me. When he retired, I had to buy my own and I saw the actual price. Unless they have a solid gold core, the price was ridiculous. No way is the ball that much better than Snell MTBx and it is $15-$20 more expensive per dozen.

[@stephprime]

I think the most important factor of choosing a golfball is just personal feel and the feel of the clubface. I just HATE some golfballs and LOVE others, how they feel when i test them with a 7 iron and the putter, for example. It just comes down to personal preference - most of the balls out there perform pretty similar, but they feel incredibly different. I love a very soft and massive feel of the clubface. I game the Srixon AD333, Z-Star and the Taylormade TP5. They do what I want them to do and i really like those three balls a lot ;)

[@jazzyjay4595]

This a funny video. Tests all these different balls to see which is best for you and preaches about how it’s good for everyone to do it and be objective about it. Then says he’s not switching balls because the ProV1x did good enough even though there were balls that clearly out performed it. Clearly you don’t care about the performance as much as you care about the comfort of just sticking with the same ball even though it’s being out performed

[@aaronmahanga7635]

Thanks Mr short game, I've hit a few different brands of golf balls but the one that got me into the 70s was the pro v1x, for my first score in the 70s which was a 76.

[@henrymonster9926]

“Imagine if you hit...idk the ground?”, I don’t know what game you are playing, my ball never touches the ground, tee to hole🤣

[@burmesecats1212]

There's just one problem with looking at spin rates of irons..... If you're looking to assess performance on the greens.... Ball spin rates slow down before they hit the green.... The more a ball spins the fast its spin rate slows down because of wind resistance dynamics.... So if ball A spins at 9200 of the club face and ball B spins at 8600 off the club face by the time they hit they green ball As spin rate may have dropped to say 3000, where as ball B may have dropped to say 2800....

[@browneyewilly]

What about Snell balls?

[@lysajane3643]

No golf ball test is complete without the Top Flight XL. The longest ball off the tee, great spin on the greens, extremely durable, and by far the best price! For someone like me with 100mph swing speed and 20+ handicap who loses 3-4 balls every 18 holes, you can’t beat it!

[@rayfreeman2305]

How can you lose so many balls? I normally get 2 to 3 rounds out of each ball. Can you still buy Top Flight balls, I have not seen them for years in Canada. They were my go to ball in the late 50's and 60's.

[@Nikelaos]

I have those days too Lysa. My home courses can be tight with plenty of water and when I “let the big dog eat” it can get a little wild. I am still breaking 90 on occasion, but when I realize I am giving away 5-7 strokes a round it gets me wound up. Loved Top Flights for years! Currently playing Bridgestone e6. Feels soft on putter and when chipping. Just can’t spend another $25 in premium balls each round.

[@goodyear1954]

Comparing dispersions over as little as 5 shots is a waste of time given the variables that are nothing to do with the ball.

[@davidbowe9999]

I know theres a lot of balls out there but would love to see the new AVX in the mix!

[@michaelconradjohnson9089]

[@marklaack6732]

Hi Matt... was wondering if you've ever tried a Snell ball?

[@Soul-Taker]

I often think you're about to surprise us and then you don't.

[@jackmarron7890]

Anyone else find the “accuracy” element pointless? Isn’t that down to human error, not how the ball performs

[@skylerthomason2859]

Yeah but spin rate can effect accuracy

[@jackmarron7890]

Skyler Thomason are we assuming he’s a robot and put the same swing on every shot?

[@jackmarron7890]

Skyler Thomason also, strike and club path affect accuracy. The ball your using makes absolutely no difference, for example, if you’ve got a neutral club face to a left swing path. The balls gonna end up left

[@jackmarron7890]

Therefore, his accuracy comment is pointless if he’s blaming the ball for missing target. If anyone wants to tell me how wrong my statement is, feel free!

[@evansuddreth388]

The question is why ..... do we drop golf balls

[@dalez9312]

I like the kinds of tests Matt because I like to see the numbers. Couple of issues I have is 1) what was the loft of the 6 iron and what was it set at for your driver? That will change the numbers, i.e. your driver may be set at 8 degrees of loft and mine at 12 degrees, your six iron loft may be different than mine changing the spin rate and distances. 2) in order to be more accurate especially with the accuracy aspect of this test, you need to hit more than 5 shots per ball, you need to take miss-hits in to account. I'm not bashing your test at all, love your tips and videos, just putting it out there that people need to test for their clubs, their swing and their price range. Keep up the great work.

[@rayfreeman2305]

Dale Ziegelhofer Some of the best club fitters are now saying that once you have a ball that you like you should then find a fitter to find you the best working clubs for that ball. And I can assure you that some balls work better with some brands of clubs. Callaway is a good example of that as their balls will always work the best with Callaway clubs, JFYI.

[@Ricochet44]

Would like to get your impression on the Snell MTb and X

[@randywilburn8697]

Have you ever used or tested the Snell MTB X. ?

[@jimgovostes6261]

What you say about the Vice Pro is interesting. I use the ball regularly here in Florida. Two reasons. First is that is does perform for me the way that I expect (I am a 6 handicap Teaching Pro) and second, if I lose one in the water which happens a lot here due to all the ponds and sloping fairways, I don't get upset. However, the scuffing you talk about has never happened unless I hit a wayward shot into a tree or hit a cart path. I have used them for about 10 months. I find the latest ball Vice produced to perform a little bit better than last year's model.

[@StevenLee2]

Same here! They gave help very very good for me as well!

[@sievans79]

Wonder if the wet mat you were hitting off made a difference? Inconsistent with water getting in-between ball & club face?

[@yohanceedwards9630]

Great video showing differences in balls for you. In terms of value balls, the Kirkland performance +, has got to be on any list. Three piece with urethane cover for roughly $1 a ball. Been playing it for a couple years. Fantastic wedge spin. My main criticism is that it can be a bit too spinny on long irons and woods with my swing. So, I’ve been considering upgrading to Bridgestone B series, Srixon Z or Pro V. The steep price difference is the main thing holding me back. Is the extra yardage I’m likely to get worth 3-4 times the price? Testing a few rounds with the higher priced balls over the next few weeks to see.

[@PJGGolfer]

Good ball review. I thought you did a great job putting this together. I play a Srixon Qstar. Looks like from your test, it's a little above average. So, I'll stick with it. Cheers!

[@tango4]

I'm a beginner and like to purchase the ReLoad balls because I lose so many. It would be cool to see you compare a new box of Pro V1s and a box of ReLoads

[@Rosetwin90]

Would like to see you test some cheap 2 piece balls (srixon soft feel, wilson staff 50 elite, Callaway superhot, etc) against some of these premium priced balls to see how big of a difference there is. Love your videos.

[@ajankowski2]

If my opinion helps any - I am a big fan of both the Srixon Soft Feel and the Callaway Supersofts. (I am a Senior Golfer, 20 HC, not a real fast swing speed). Recently I tried the Wilson Staff 50 Elite and I was surprised at how good they actually are. I lost maybe 5 yards of carry, but for sure, they fly straighter and are more forgiving in that respect. In two full rounds, I have never lost a ball left or right, just a couple in hazards that cross the fairway. For sure are now my ball of choice for narrow golf courses where staying in the fairway is a premium.

[@0fficercool326]

Shoulda tested kirklands

[@bennettlewis5495]

Most golf ball tests are about speed, carry, spin, and sometimes spread...all important factors, but I rarely see anyone talking about feel and control off the putter, which is becoming the most important factor in the golf balls I choose. Some of the harder balls that give me a few extra yards off the tee are so much harder to control on the green. For me, if I consistently leave the ball within a foot of the hole, a marginal difference in "spin" and "carry" doesn't mean squat. I've played all these balls, and the only ones I trust on the green are Chrome Soft X, TP5x, and Pro V1 (in that order). Fortunately they all scored well in these MSG's tests as well. Caveat: I am not good at shaping shots. Maybe when I improve my skill in that area, spin will become more important than putting, but I doubt it. It seems the features of a ball that make it good for shaping also seem to give me better control with my putter.

[@Chase987]

my favourite ball is the prov1x

[@randomgamer-st1ie]

Most golfers, myself included, can't tell the difference between golf balls off the tee or on approach shots. But on the green a distance ball feels like a rock. I prefer soft golf balls because putting is the only time feel plays a big factor.

[@FullContactDrummer]

Interesting that the Titleist Pro V1 and the Callaway Chrome Soft X had essentially the same spin, but 15 yards difference with the Callaway winning. However, the Titleist Pro V1x has basically the same spin with 11 yards more than the Pro V1.

[@jimdaniels2333]

You should have tested the TM "Tour" Response, (not "Soft" response). The "Tour" response in $34/dozen and has a genuine urethane cover, (the "Soft" response does not because it only cost $24/dozen). I have been gaming the "Tour" response this year and so far I am impressed.

Great video something a little bit different. Callaway Chrome Soft... Looks a good all round ball. But Bridgestone seems to be a up and coming ball also.

[@jacobmccain8082]

Were you using the BX (Bryson) or BXS (Tiger)? I tried everything this year and it came down to those two and the ProV1X. Finally decided on the BXS because of the soft feel off the putter face! The BX was a yard or two longer but didn’t spin quite as well as the BXS/V1X from 75 and in.

[@kourt2469]

Jacob McCain I’ve been playing pro v1x for several years. Been testing the bxs the last two weeks and I gotta say I think it’s way better. Seems to fly straighter and much better in the wind. Plus it’s cheaper.

[@JS-zr9mq]

Love the content...but here's a serious question. Why test the srixon Qstar tour? The srixon Zstar is a superior ball, that compares well to the pro v 1 in spin rates, distance, durability etc. But Zstars sell off the shelf at Walmarts for 24.97 per dozen here in California. that is a true your quality ball available in every town across America off the shelf at $ 24.97 per dozen plus tax that is about half the cost of a tp5 or a pro v1, and even 10 to $15 less than a bridgestone tour rx,bx etc. For the price, cantt be touched

[@jamesmeadows314]

Thanks for the video. Very cool seeing the core. If we don’t have a device for measuring stats, would you recommend going to a ball fitting place like a PGA Superstore and ask to try out different balls you are interested in?

[@AussieBob999]

The best golf ball is the Bridgestone Tour B RX (for me) or Tour B X. The reason is simple - they go very very straight with driver and all the long woods. When you mishit the ball, it only curves a little with the long clubs - straightest ball I have ever used - and I have used them all - ProV, TP5, Chrome, and all the urethane lower balls (Tour Response, Tout Speed, etc). Tour B RX is a tour level ball with the same consistency and has a quality urethane cover (not crap like some), so you can generate spin to stop it on the greens with short irons. Pros have the skill set to use such a ball with their long woods - but most amateurs hit massive slices and hooks with such a ball (now and then) - they would be better off with a ball that goes straighter. The Bridgestone Tour B RX is the best of both worlds - straight with the woods, but spins and stops with short irons. Putts great too - as good as all Pro level balls except the ProV (that putts awesome). LPGA players use the Tour B for a reason - 90-105 mph swing speeds is normal (I am 96).

[@geoffcohen613]

So clearly we drive off tee with longest ball, change over for a 6 iron, then change again if we have a chip shot. If casual social golfer do this. Other interesting question is how much difference does 400rpm make on wedge shot, can average golfer say when hit a shot oh I put 8426rpm on that shot and 8842 on next. It's smoke and mirrors stuff.

Yes it does make a difference particularly if you have a club head speed under 9087 prov tp5 are much more difficult to get the distance. Also if you're not used to wedge spin too much will foul you up. I have been hitting the Bridgestone tour and Maxfli cg to be good balls.

[@RUFFSwag]

Keep in mind, all these "statistics" are based off how he hits the ball, "his strength" compared to others, hit accuracy compared to others. A golf ball review really means nothing by a specific person in large.. It all comes down to your style of play, strength, weaknesses and strong points, etc..

[@ferfromla]

I wish you would have included the Kirkland ball, as it is very affordable and quite popular. How does it compete in performance when compared to those on your list?

[@marekklimczyk4042]

I wonder how much your actual overall score would change by using a pro v 1 or a budget golf ball in the same game? Each ball would perform different when hit, but I bet you would score similar.

[@paulspeelman5619]

It really comes down to confidence. Years ago played HT90s, they were 10 yards shorter off the tee, but on the green had total confidence putting so I gave up a 1 club difference for assurance on greens.

[@rayfreeman2305]

Can you please tell us what your normal driver club head speed would be. I ask that because those balls you tested have a variety of different compressions. It would also be good to know what those balls would do when hit by a player with an 85 mph club head speed as it appears that yours is around 100 mph.

[@DeBenedettiD]

Cannot form a conclusion at all. Unreliable test data. Variances in spin and velocity can be attributed to how hard he swung and where he contacted the ball on the club. There’s no way he could swing with exactly the same rotation, angle and speed every time. Therefore you cannot say wether it was his swing or the ball that made the data different.

[@Labgorilla]

I get 3 balls for £1. Found around the golf course and sold in little bags. I look for Srixon ad333 as they feel soft and stop on greens.

Maybe some comparisons on short wedge game with 2 piece non urethane balls in general. Are there any cheap, sub $25 non urethane balls that can produce high soon wedge shots?

I think people under estimate the importance of having a ball fitting, I took my Z765 and AP3s along for a ball fitting and the results were different from both irons. If you change your irons you should recalibrate your ball relevance, it may have changed.

Have to drop a like i know that was a lot of work lol

Unless you can control distance, spin and trajectory like the pros or very top amateurs forget premium balls.

Doesn’t matter for someone like me who can only make good contact once a hole on a good day

Have you tried any of the Mizuno balls?

[@edstrom1]

...so given the differences, would you change balls depending your strategy for a hole? Take a par 5: if your are going for the green in two, would you go for different ball, than if you had headwinds and going for the green in three?

If your playing in a competition you are required to play the same type of ball for the entire round

[@KS-bh5df]

@@chiefnakoma is that true? I thought you had to only play the same ball from tee to green and then could change what you play on the next. Is that not so?

[@chiefnakoma]

@@KS-bh5df There is a rule called the one ball rule, which is often required in professional golf and high amateur tournaments. You have to use the same ball (same manufacturer and model) for an entire round. It's not in the official rules of golf. It's tournament specific and should be determined by the tournament organizer. So you are correct that in most situations you can switch between holes. You can also switch on the same hole if it becomes unplayable (cracked, badly cut).
