Golf balls

Can anyone tell me the advantages /disadvantages with soft touch golf balls or is it just personel preferance and if there is a good all rounder

 Thanks Paul,

Theres obviously no hard and fast rule.

I suppose the thing for me to do is ask the guy at the shop i go to, he may be able to suggest a ball fit for purpose to my game and see how i go.

It really is a case of suck it and see I'm afraid, I use AD333's at the moment because they seem to suit my game.  I've tried other Srixons, Tri Speed, Soft Feel and Z-URS but don't like them as much - not sure why.

The real problem is that 'soft' is a very relative term.  If you look hard enough you can find some compression values for manufacturers balls but that really doesn't show the complete picture.  The Srixon soft feel has a harder core but a soft skin promoting spin (for grip off the club face) and distance (higher relative kinetic energy transfer) but isn't particularly good at either.  A Pro-v on the other hand has a more flexible core and harder skin (all relative though) which allows better players to get spin and distance dependent on how hard the ball is struck.

So if you think this has left you more confused than when you started, check this thread out  http://golfshake.com/forums/view/480/Measuring_golf_ball_hardness_nerd_alert.html

Thanks guys

I have bought some Donnay Titanium, only reason was the price (15 for £4.99) so i thought i'd gice them a try.

I take it a softer ball is in order then. Do you generally get more control from a softer ball ?

Thanks Wayne
