Titleist claim to be BETTER than TaylorMade, Srixon & Callaway! | Tour Speed Review

[@grayharshbarger6524]

Ball speed this, ball speed that... about time somebody started asking the questions that matter. How well does it roll when I hit a 70 yard worm burner down the fairway?

[@mrb018538]

Absolutely. Or one of my thin 150 yard lob wedge specials when I’m 40 yards short of the green? 😂

The fairway? Lucky...

or hit it 30 metres left/right how does it bounce off trees?

[@peterbrorsson5714]

@@UNIT-xh7qc Exactly! I want a ball that bounces towards the fairway every time, not towards the water, bushes or bunkers. 'Findabaility' is also an aspect I'd like to see reviewed.

I’ve tried every ball under the sun this summer and I honestly can’t beat the Taylormade RBZ soft. You should do a ball review of the best balls within the £15-25 range for us who may lose a few a round *update* still using these even though I have gone from a 13 handicap last year to a 7 this year

[@lukemalone9023]

I should try it i tried the taylormade tp5 absolutely hated it my favorite ball in the 15 to 25 range is definitely the calloway supersoft but favorite ball in general is a tie between pro v1 and a chrome soft

i agree mate the rbz seem the be the only ball i buy at the min haha

[@AndrewHarkins]

I’m a high handicapper and have a average to slow swing speed. I like playing these because they give me consistency and stop pretty much where they land, so I can just focus on a set distance and good strike. I think Rick’s review is spot on. They are a little harder. Previously, I tried proV1s and proV1x’s before knowing any better. I like those too, but not the price. Too expensive for a high handicapper like me. Therefore the Tour Speed works for me.

I can agree with you.

[@evanbennett8269]

Hey, Rick. Greetings from Canada. :) The editing lately has been phenomenal! For me, nothing beats a good Srixon ball! The only other ball manufacturer that I sometimes use if I want to change things up is a Bridgestone. Excellent video as always.

[@vladedodi1347]

Another honest review video. That’s why you are growing so fast. Amazing job. My 2 cents is this: TaylorMade Tour response which I found 1 ball in the woods was a beast off the tee for me.

[@GnikNeb]

The USGA has a limit on golf ball speed/energy in their rules. All golf balls will be pushing this limit and will test the same within margin of error. Nice proving this Rick!

[@conservakid85]

Exactly. Just as there are limits to the driver. These companies are all about selling the average consumer distance but really the only thing people are buying is marketing fluff. Every year in my league I see these guys with new drivers, new golf balls claiming they are 10-15 yards longer than last year. If that were true they would be driving the ball 300 yards instead of their 225 carry that has been the same for 8+ years.

[@thesouldone82]

Rick, thank you so much for all the videos that you make. It makes my day every time I get a notification that you've posted a new video. You have truly helped me more than you could possibly know.

[@Saysay_sadie]

The srixon z star ball is what I game, and one of my favorite things to do is test other balls against it. Nothing has come close to replacing it so far! Best golf ball on the market in my opinion.

[@jonn443]

The Bridgestone Tour B XS is the best ball on the market. Incredible feel, tons of spin around the green, very durable and looong. Tiger knows what’s up.

[@nhardman]

Z Star is my favorite ball. Great feel, performance and good durability, plus it helps that I get them for $20 a dozen.

[@Saysay_sadie]

@@nhardman yes the price is definitely a plus. I get mine off Ebay. Get great deals.

@@Saysay_sadie , absolutely. It checks all of the boxes. Gives me more short iron spin and control then the ProV1, but the distance of the ProV1X and the Z Star. You'll love it.

I played a round today with this ball. Am a 10 handicap,and normally use tour response balls. Was happy enough with it tbh. But ball was really scuffed. Still going to use tour response balls personally. Good review Rick. 👍

Hi Rick - I recently tested Bridgestone E12 Soft, Bridgestone Tour B XS, Callaway Chrome Soft, Pro V1, ProV1x... I found the Tour B XS to be the best combination of distance, flight and spin. Chrome Soft had the best distance and ProV1 best spin around the green.

I have played the PROV1 for the last year, started playing this Tour Speed and I get 10-15 more carry yards out of driver. I swing 105-107 mph. Launch 12 and spin around 2300. It checks up around the green better for me as well.

[@TalkingGolf]

Who else thinks rick could play with any golf ball?

[@DMFChavez]

Tbf pretty much everyone could use any ball and play the same

[@ZickDorito]

Most important thing is to always play the same model of ball so you know what to expect. But yes that ball can be any one of the 100s out there.

[@thewildbill86]

BEST ball review EVER! Hands down! The side by side comparison is EVERYTHING! Any chance we could get a side by side of same brand, different ball? For a guy like me, i live Srixon golf balls. This summer I have been using the q-star divide instead of the srixon soft feel. But I'm genuinely curious, what the differences are if we start with Z-star and just do the lineup of srixon balls? Same with pro v1 vs. Pro v1x vs tour speed vs not tour
