I have a fast swing 110 mph and really love the distance and feel those balls give me. But When I buy balls, I love the Srixon Z-Star. It's a great alternative to the pro v1 and is really durable too. On a side note. I had a great practice day at the range. I am getting 10 more yards distance this year. I think it's because of how crisp i have been hitting the ball. I'm absolutely smoking my new driver (Superfast 2.0) I have a natural power draw but I was working with it today and was able to hit cut fades too. I can't wait for saturday to come.

That's great, man. You are going to be easy on the wallet getting balls from your dad. I prefer it that way because it's so crazy of just how one ball gets hit once - and it's never found by the players again.

Love to hear your hitting the ball good! Man, I have to hit the range. I am dedicating myself to stick to just one swing method and not deterring from it. I have been trying to incorporate a fade, but realize that my natural play is straight to a draw - so I'm not fighting it.

That is by far my favorite ball. Great feel, and durability. Nice distance to boot. I was impressed with the NXT for being a 2 piece ball.

Yes! Love the Z-Star; it's amazing of how much of a comparison it rises next to Titleist balls. Thanks for heads up about the deal, might have to check that out.

My next round will be only the Q-Star just to get a full round with them and then will make a determination. I really really hope I can get out this weekend or the front part of the week. Only issue is I'm covering for a guy at work who is traveling to a different plant for the week....

I like the E6's as well. Used to be my go to a couple years ago. I've never tried the Q-Stars though.

Hope you get out, man. I'm playing Saturday. Going to really try to hit the par 3 course more often. Heck I work at 9; I can dedicate waking up earlier to hit balls or something.

Definitely going for a session or two once I can afford it.

Yeah...I'm sure part of it was the fact that I haven't touched a club in 6 months, so we'll see what happens next week. I'll be sure to get some videos up next time I'm at the range.

This evening was the opening for my 9-hole golf league. Played decent, shot a 42. On hole #8 a short 288 Par 4 I drove the green which suprised the hell out of me. Ended up being 10 ft for eagle but had to settle for birdie. Overall I'm pretty happy with my round. Winds where gusting up to 25 mph so it was pretty brutal

Yeah upload your swing. Be glad to help.

My dad was a pro, and I've been around the game pretty much all my life and I'm sure there are a ton of other people on here that could help you as well. That's what we're here for.

Playing tomorrow in Springfield, Ohio at this course with a group of 35/40 guys. $25 with a cart and $16 in for skins. Hell win 1 skin and it will pay for the round. Here is the course
