yeah ummm every swing is different even if the ss is the same... prime example is my brother and a friend of ours... they both have 100+ swing speeds and are both really long off the tee... our friend swears by the prov but my brother cant play them(too spinny)... my brother hooks prov's off the tee and spins them off the greens... he plays a bridgestone tour b330 rxs i think... our friend is a fader and likes to hit cuts... he doesnt have a problem with the prov's over spinning... heck ive never seen him spin a ball back...I voted for Nike. But, I switch around between the One Tour D and the ProV. I played the ProV1x yesterday and just spun the bejesus out of it. I prefer the hop and stop that I get with the Tour D.
NOTE: My driver ss is 105.
What I did find interesting in some above comments was some switching from ProV's to something else. Most golfers don't have a 100+ mph ss . So, IMO, the ProV is not the best ball to use. Based on some reviews Penta seems to be a 90-100mph ss ball. While the ProV is a 100+mph ss ball.
There are dual theories on picking a ball: 1) start at the green and work back 2) start at the teebox and go forward.
I definitely believe in knowing what your drive ss is to pick the ball you are more likely to compress enough for maximum benefit. Once you find the balls that match your swing speed, then pick a ball from that group that has your spin requirements.
I have played the TM Red, which I found, and could absolutely bomb it. It seemed like a club longer than anything else I'd tried. I may buy some of these when my current batch of nike's and prov's get low.
the gamer is a great ball for its price rangeI think the hardest part about choosing a golf ball is everyone's swing differs and even two 100mph driver swings play completely differennt. I was at a Titleist ball fitting this weekend (Golf Galaxy) and the rep was saying that the compression for a ProV1 was 83 and ProV1x was 91. Not sure really how that correlates to SS but I'd be interested to know. I have a two ball sleeve of each. I plan on going to the PGA SS free golf ball fitting again soon because the last time I choose budget ball and it gave me the gamer. Which I did really like.

noodle long and soft swear by them.
Ok, Ive officially made the switch to the Bridgestone B330-RX. Loving the distance off the tee and feel is still as good as the Z-star. I dont think it checks up as good but its darn close! I still have some yellow Z-stars left so I'll game those still too but I think the B330-RX is a really good match for my game and swing.

welcome to the Bridgestone family Kev. What took ya so long?
I found a Taylormade TP LDP on the front 9 today and played the entire back 9 with it and shot 11 strokes better. Coincidence? Probably. But I really liked this ball. Is it a current ball and if not what would be the current replacement?
