In the past few months on cold mornings, I've opted for distance balls rather than spin. I need all the help I can get in the chilling English weather!
This summer I played the srixon zurs and now I am playing the much cheaper nike power distance. But I am thinking of playing Titleist NXT tour all year long now. I really like this ball..from all balls I've tried this ball is for me the longest of the tee and generates for me enough spin on the greens when needed.
All the ( nearly new ) distance balls found in the summer months I use when the course is soft. The soft balls found in the winter I save for the summer
Last year I tried the Nike Powersoft in the winter. Wanted a softer feeling ball for those cold days. Turned out they're pretty good balls too. Good distance and putt nicely.
