Does the ball really matter?
People get way too caught up in the choice of balls. I'm a senior, hit driver if I nut it about 240, 6 iron 150. I can chip and putt. I've used a ProV1 for about 5 years and my low index is 1.9, currently 3.4. I played today with a Srixon soft feel for the first time. My score was one over par on a hilly course with soft greens playing to about 6100 yards. The ball performed great. I've scored in the 70's with a rock hard Top Flite and broken par with soft high spin expensive pro line balls. If you lose a lot of golf balls by all means don't play expensive $50/dozen balls. Good scoring comes from hitting fairways off the tee, playing the correct set of tees for your ability, and having a good short game. Oh yea, the ball....if you play a course with hard greens and/or courses where you don't have access to the front of greens with run up shots you would benefit from softer higher spinning golf balls. The course today had soft greens after a rain so the lower spinning Srixon soft feel worked great. At about $20 a dozen retail you won't find a better ball for this sort of course condition. If you play courses with hard greens and want to have a chance at lower scoring and successful chipping and putting consider softer cover higher spinning golf balls. Srixon has golf balls of every type for every golfer's needs. They make a quality product. One other thing, because the soft feel Srixon doesn't spin as much as a multipiece urathane cover pro line ball it will not curve off line as much if your tend to slice or hook the ball. It really likes to fly straight.
