So I live in a very windy area so a ball that will perform well in the wind is a MUST for me. Anyone have any suggestions for balls that are great in the wind

Callaway Hex Chrome+ is the best wind ball I've played since the old Taylormade TP Red from several years ago if you're looking for a premium type ball.

How different is it from the Hex Black?
I've played the black and it's ok in the wind but not a huge stand out.
Interesting. I've played the e5 and e6 but haven't tried this one yet. Might have to give it a go.

Love the way the Bridgestone golf balls play in the wind. Looking to try the HEX Chrome + next week on a golf outing in Vermont.
Big improvement over the black. The Black wasn't a stand out for me either, not terrible, but certainly not great. The + has a nice boring flight that doesnmt seem to react much at all to the wind. My first several rounds with it were cooler windy conditions, so when I finally had the chance in warmer, calm conditions, I was surprised to find I didn't gain much distance at all. The first couple rounds in the wind, I was constantly overestimating and playing too far away from my target for the crosswind.
Headwind or crosswind, just a solid stable ball.

get a balloon ball flight out of the regular chrome in the wind, the old Tour iZ was a great wind ball. I will need to try the E7 since we get some pretty crazy winds coming down the foothills.
Bridgestone have always worked well for me in the wind for me but the new TM lethal is also very good

I hit a 250 yard drive into the wind today with a Hex Black. I'm not a long hitter so I was shocked. Darn, I thought it was just me, but maybe it was the ball too...
