Hi,I’m in my mid thirties and grew up playing frying pans. I’ve been playing a Todd Demsey persimmon and love it. I’m still working on my form. I’m noticing more and more emphasis on low spin balls in the urethane category. What’s a proper ball for persimmon? I’ve been playing prov1 but my stash is running thin and I’m intent on playing my persimmon forever. What should I start stocking up on and should I avoid anything? I have pretty good speed for only playing a persimmon for one full season and I’ve seen a lot of mixed answers in my searches.
Nice, I’ve also been playing a Todd Demsey persimmon. I think the ProV1 is a good ball for persimmon woods, but I’m trying to quit Titleist because I think they are bad for golf (very hostile when it comes to rollback as I understand). I’ve been playing the Wilson Staff (essentially their Pro V1 equivalent) which I like. I also like the Maxfli Tour.
Unfortunately nowadays the softer balls (lower compression) don’t spin as much, and I think just don’t fly as well for higher speed players in my opinion.
I have a sleeve of balatas from the 80s.
