- The BEST Selling Golf Ball For Mid/High Handicap Golfers... EVER! When buying golf balls we often consider lots of different options... what is the longest golf ball? which golf ball goes the furthest? what is the best golf ball? what golf ball gets the most backspin? what is the cheapest golf ball? what is the best budget golf ball? which golf ball should I use? which golf ball should you use? what is the best golf ball for mid handicap golfers? what is the best golf ball for high handicap golfers? in this video I play golf with the best selling golf ball of all time for mid/high handicaps, is it the Taylormade golf ball? Titleist Golf ball? callaway golf ball? Srixon golf ball?... let's do it... and let's do it now!
I’d just like to publicly state I filmed this video last week. Apologies for anyone who is upset. Hope you all enjoy the video! ⛳️🎥👍🏼
Don’t apologize James. Enjoyable content.
😂😂😂👍
I'm subscribed to Shiels, Big Al, Finchy, Michael Newton, Alistair and a few other Yanks but have hardly watched any in ages. I'm still watching your offering everyday James so it don't bother me if anyone else has done a review on the P790 irons or the AD333 ball. Simple solution for the rest of the people is just watch James!
@@chrissellings I’m subbed to maybe 10 golf channels, James and Matt Fryer are always my 2 “Must Watch” channels
@@baddestmofoalive I like Matt too. I like real people
You put out content on a daily basis which is hard work. I'm not going to give you a hard time because you planned ahead to have a little break.
For a cheap ball I love the callaway super soft.
I have used the AD333 and even more the AD333 Tour quite a lot. I am currently a +1 handicap golfer and while I do find that I sacrifice a little performance between the AD333 and my normal gamer which is the ZStar XV, even as a low handicap golfer, I do not see a massive difference in my scoring when playing what is considered a second tier ball.
I think a lot of weekend golfers think of themselves as far better than they really are. None of us including even scratch handicappers are actually good enough to really see a massive difference. And the flipside is that as a +1 or scratch I also have sufficient ability to make the ball work and adjust my chipping enough to allow for slightly more run out or a slightly higher ball flight off my irons.
The Srixon AD333 and soft feel are great balls. I’ve recently started playing with the Wilson duo soft. I’m off 8 and I think they are great for the price!
I play the Srixon Q-Star Tour yellow. The colour of this years ball seems to be brighter. I'm currently a 14 hcp.
I just picked this ball up. November and cold in South Carolina. Was impressed.
I call it the AD 3 thirty 3.
James I’m a 17 handicap. I buy my golf balls from lost golf balls. Play the Bridgestone e6 and have tried the Callaway ultra soft. I spend as little as possible. Usually 20 dollars for a dozen
I played Srixon Ad333 when I was a beginner. Great ball! I have moved into the Z star just for around the greens control.
I’ve been playing the Srixon AD333 for the last couple of years as a 10 handicap. I’ve loved the distance off the tee. Responsiveness with wedge shots and feel off the putter.
I’ve also played the Vice Pro ball which is an excellent ball for the price.
I usually shoot in the 80's although my last round was a 78 on a par 72. My ball of choice is the Callaway chrome soft. It gives me enough distance, great spin, but the most important part is the feel around the greens.
You sound like me.. I played 4 different courses here in Michigan for the first time over the last couple weeks.. shot 83, 82, 79, 83.
@@oneheadlight8000 awesome rounds mine are all over the 80's high, low, and middle. Lol
@@oneheadlight8000 I am a senior golfer who hits it straight. Do you know of any high spinning balls that an 80-85 mph swing speed could still get distance from? From 100 yards in I have solid 5 hdc stats. My age and injuries have slowed me down.
@@tmo4330 I really like srixon balls. I used their z-star and had some great results. I hear pretty good things about their soft feel ball for spin / feel around the green. The issue with spin is you don’t get as much distance.. you would want a harder 2 piece ball for distance and a softer ball for touch around the green
@@oneheadlight8000 Yes, it's a frustrating trade off. Believe it or not, someone gave me a dozen callaway warbirds for Christmas. I thought I would never use them. I took them and played a couple of rounds with them and the distance was out of this world. (For me). I hate them from 150 yards in.
High handicapper here. I fell in love with the Srixon Ultisoft this year (might be re-branded Soft Feel?). They cost 32.90€ (I'd guess that would mean around 25-27£ in UK) for 24 balls, are quite soft and despite them being targeted towards lower club head speeds I didn't lose that much distance either.
I have liked the triple threes that I've found and played (and lost) too.
Was looking for this ball in the US, and figured out here in the US, it’s called the Q star. Been playing it for a while in conjunction with the Bridgestone E series. Awesome balls.
Been playing Srixon AD333 since my coach told me to stop playing Bridgstone Extra Soft. Handicap is 22.4. Was 26.6 at start of the year. Brilliant ball that feels good all around.
The 4 ball i play in, we all use them and all high handicaps
Of late I’m noticing players playing these balls in Oz ! Has had a great feedback in uk. For me at 14hcp Srixon Q star tour is so great, don’t feel like changing. A sleeve lasts me at least 12 games. Feel and softness are similar but the diff is the better stopping power in the short game with the Q star.
I play the Vice Tour - $25 USD a dozen and they feel great to me.
Ad triple3 and srixon soft feel
Have always been good enough for me James
VERY high handicaper here. Just switched from Wilson DUO soft to the Titleist Trufeel. Never tried this Srixon. They are the same price here. 45 euro for 2 boxes off 12.
I buy the as lakeball for 90 cent / 1 euro each. BTW. I choose for the titleist trufeel for the feel on the irons. I have a low swingspeed (70 mph) so I need low compression
this ball is 38.00 a dozen here in Canada......Srixon soft feel are 24.99 and i find they work pretty well....cheers from Canada
Srixon soft feel. I'm 75 and this is the sweet spot for me. Good drives and soft around the green.
This year as a mid-handicapper I started playing the Bridgestone E12 Contact golf balls. And so far I'm loving the feel. I think they might be a couple yards shorter off driver than a premium ball but not to where I'd really even notice that much.
definitely not more than 5 yards shorter, love the e12 contact off the irons though
Maybe this is a dumb question, but, does it really matter what ball you play if you’re not paying the mortgage with winnings/sponsorships? I played a Top Flite for years. Did fine. I switched to the Srixon Soft Feel awhile back simply because i got tired of aching wrists from the Top Flite. Maybe I answered my original question there…? Anyway, I played the QStar and they’re nice but my game wasn’t really able to take full advantage of what that ball says it offers. Out of all the golf equipment available, golf balls seem the most complicated.
Would love to see video James you and a few others fellow pro and mid Handicappers. Playing unmarked Balls from premium to Budget lets see how brave the big boys are!! 75% of golfers couldn't tell the difference from a £45 a Dozen to lest say these Srixons.
Would love to see this!
From what I can gather on the web, SeRM is a urethane compound. So you've got an inexpensive ionomer two-piece ball with juuuuust enough urethane sprayed on it to give it some zip. For a few holes anyway. They don't put that coating on the Soft Feel. I guess it would make it too "expensive", but that would be great.
The AD333 did really well in Today's Golfer's ball test a couple of years back. Not the longest, but more than respectable for average speed swings. But that Spinskin coating is the real deal. Wedge spin was higher than a bunch of urethane tour balls.
Srixon AD triple three. I use them almost exclusively and my club sells them for GBP 27 for 24 balls, including my 10% member discount. So 30 quid for non-members. Also available online at that price, but they are last years model.
Used the AD333 for quite a few years now, does everything I need. Currently trying Srixon Marathon Soft as I was given 2 dozen, IMO almost as good of a ball probably ½ a step back but cheaper. Ideal as a winter ball for AD333 users.
I don't think they sell those in the states. We have Soft Feel here. I have been playing the Q-star Tour. Could be they fit my swing speed better. Imagined or not they seem to go further and straighter
I've used Kirkland and Vice because of the price point was good and the quality is decent.. I. bought 3 dozen Z star last year which go.jnto the practice bag after 1 rd...Just bought TM response as I like the feel.and they perform for me as well as the Z Star but paid 43 quid for 3 dozen! Current index is 5.6
Vice Pro Plus. Played this past weekend, shot 113 and finished with the ball I started with. It's 90% the one your comfortable with.
A buddy of mine refuses to play a Callaway because he "thinks" it's a bad ball.
New golfer here (if I had a handicap it would be like 40) and I've been using AD333's since I started earlier this month due to the cheap price... Even went as far as buying 100x A grade 2nd hand balls when I realised it was cheaper to lose them lol still have heaps which are my practice balls for the park now that I'm not losing heaps on course. Only downside to them is they scuff up very quickly, but that's not an issue for me.
I just charged my golf ball to the AD Triple 3 after seeing this video and really love it…I used the Bridgestone E5…thanks for this video…I’m in the states and most big box stores near me don’t sell this ball…
Started on Ad333 like many before. Decent brand & good price but I now play Honma tw-x (£19.99 a dozen) for summer & Q Star tour for winter/wet conditions when I don't need so much spin. Could quite happily play the 333 all year to be fair.
I pretty much knew which ball you were going to say. Yes, I bought a box of these and found them to be what you have said. I think in terms of overall performance in all areas against price they are outstanding.
Another good video. My issue with these super soft golf balls is on the green. They give very little feedback when putting. I much prefer a firmer ball.
Yup, agree. I tried the Srixon soft feel and it was brilliant until I reached the green.
I would have never guessed a Srixon ball. Here in the US they tend to be a bit underrated.
I’ve recently tried the Z Star XV and really liked it. It’s a great ball.
By the way, I looked into it and it does appear that in the states the AD 333 has been renamed the Q Star! That ball does sell well here!
Q-star is a different ball you scaghead
@@jackjennings7221 no need for that…
@@jackjennings7221 according to Srixon this is the “version” of the ball they sell in the states. I have no idea if it’s identical.
@@jackjennings7221 also, no need to be an ass about it.
I’m aloud to call you a scaghead it’s jack’s world
I play off 18-20 and i only use Titleist NXT and NXT tour..
I buy them on e-bay.Sometimes from Spain or USA as i like the older model..I pay about €10 a dozen as they aren't new.
The Srixon Q Star Tour is a very good 3 piece ball at a very reasonable price.
My favorite balls are Callaway super soft Tidiest Ture soft True Feel and Velocity 16 handicaper
I use the noodle long and soft and it’s a great ball for average players . It’s a long ball and pretty good around the greens . About 20 bucks a doz can’t beat it
Give the Wilson prime a chance. £28 for 3 dz pack. Flies great, grips well on greens and is not too hard. Comes in a weird low cost box, but I don't believe there's a better option price wise.
I use the Wilson Smart Core, they are $20usd for 2 Dozen. Pretty sure they are very similar to the Prime. Great ball! I wish someone would do a proper review on it because there’s nothing out there about it
@@baddestmofoalive I couldn't agree more. Perfect ball for me was the Titleist velocity, until they raised the price. And that's when I started testing options. I will still play the velocity on wide low hazard courses, but anything else the Wilson does great and won't break the bank.
I use the Srixon Z Star and have for several years. Excellent ball and at lower $$ than the other "bigger name" premium balls.
I am a 24 handicapper and recently started gaming the inesis 900 tour. They feel amazing, especially into and around the green
16 hcp, AD 3 3 3 (pronounced that way, not triple), for cooler days, soft feel for warmer days, though I have also started using Srixon Ultisoft and believe it comparable to Callaway supersoft when I'm "going for the win". Also I don't know about pro shops but sports direct now also sell srixon marathon balls. Personal experience suggests to run a bloody marathon to get away from them.
Here in North America this ball is called Q Star. Great bang for the buck ball. Love this ball!
that’s a different ball. it’s a better quality ball
your thinking of the wrong ball it is called the same thing in North America
@@thomasandersen3408 Q Star Tour is what you are thinking of with the eurathane cover .
Here in the states, I would have guessed the Noodle Long and Soft.
Would definitely love to see launch monitor test with this ball! As a high handicapper I’d like to see numbers for a ball I’d use
I play the ball you recommend but yesterday I played a titleist tour which went really well. Not sure of the price difference !
18 handicap and I love srixon ad333 balls probs one of my favourite and easier to find because there much more whiter than others
It's AD Triple 3. AD 3 3 3 is just mental. I've got golf to play, I don't want to spend an hour explaining what ball I'm using. I use the AD333 Pro, lovely ball.
I play the AD Tripple 3. 27 handicap. I like them because they are good quality and great price. However on the rare occasions I keep a ball more then 4 holes, they do get cut up quite a bit.
I play either the TP5 Pix or the Calloway Truvis as I prefer the pattern especially when I putt. I trust my eyes and not the line for alignment.
High handicapper, I've tried many balls but keep coming back to the Ad 333.
Although...
Due to your previous vid I have bought a dozen Callaway CRX Control balls at 15 quid. Very similar performance off the tee and around the greens, but would say the Srixon just edges it as ( imo) they check up a bit better than the Callaways.
They are my fav ball to find and if you chuck them down like that, Yes! Found my first Kirkland the other day but no Lidl yet,
I’m an 11 handicap. I play the Calloway super soft . I prefer a soft ball with low spin
As a high handicapper I love the Vice Pro.....long off the tee and reasonable around the green and when I go long off the tee and can't find the ball because it went into the woods somewhere I don't feel so bad about the cost!
I have played the Wilson Duo Optix ball. I am testing the Callaway Supersoft and the Srixon Softfeel.
I love the AD333, I think its a great ball. My only issue is that the durability isn't the best but I've found if you put a lighter to the fray scuff marks it's still good
Been using the Wilson Boost. It is easier to watch it go into the woods or water over Titelist prov1!!!
Jimmy, I play off +1 and I use used balls off ebay. OK I still go pro v or chrome soft but I've honestly found Kirkland and ulti soft srixon are fantastic. I play vega blades and a 710mb 1 iron so I strike the ball and you give up 4-8 yrds for 20 quid.... From 56-52 wedge into holes.... No brainer to me mush. 👍🏼
I used to use these, called the the AD3's.
You can get these now for £30 per Dozen posted, perfect for casual games, I do prefer the kirklands for the same price but the AD3s are OK.....just a little hard.
I’ve used Srixon for ages,distance & soft feel as well as the ad333 all very similar.Also the Z star etc…are well superior to the equivalent CALLAWAY,titleist,etc…
I use TP5, but I use A grade reclaimed balls that aren’t scuffed or messy, for about £25 a dozen.
Low 20’s handicap golfer.
Love the Srixon soft feel ball, haven't tried the A333. I like the Q star, haven't used the Z star yet, but will when I find a good deal. Mid handicapper, trying to improve, and find a great cheaper ball, thanks for the video!
I play the slazenger 300 balls, they work out at 48 balls for £20, about 40p a ball. When I loose one I don't really care. I dont have a handicap yet and just broke 100 for the first time today. I've been playing 4 months and my course is a links course with a shit ton of gorse bush that just eats yours balls. but after breaking 100 today I am considering trying a higher end ball to see how much of a difference it makes. for high handicappers like myself, I definetly recommend the slazenger balls.
18 handicap, not above playing found balls I find if they're in good shape. But I'm also picky there, sticking with higher end premiums. Last box I bought are ERC IIs, which I like quite a bit.
Just bought 24 of these from sports direct for £35 (BARGIN) not played with them yet but they look and feel like a premium ball. I usually play with Pro V’s (I’m a 14 handicap)
I use the AD333 as my winter ball and a Pro V1 as my summer ball. Currently off 4.6 after good few months but usually about a 10 handicap.
Hi James.
I'm a23,6 handicap golfer. I play the srixon AD333 but I prefer the srixon soft feel for the puting game.
Also i'm playing Pinnacle Soft, i have the same feeling of the soft feel but we have 15 ball's for the same price.
And finaly, i have pretty the same feeling with the titleist true feel
Is there an echo in here? I’m sure I watched this video yesterday? 😂
I played this ball for years (back when I lived in the UK) before progressing to the Srixon ZURS, which was the precursor to the Z Star. This was back in the early 2000s. A great performing ball at a very very reasonable price.
In fairness to Srixon they’ve been putting out excellent products (balls and clubs) for over twenty years now. So underrated, especially over here in North America. But they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve. 👏
Currently playing TM soft response playing off 18 but like most golfers i’ll play any ball I find on the course.
I have become a fan of the taylormade distance plus cheap launch high and check up on green not as much spin as my tp5x but good to beat around and play with
Well, just saw this a year later. Money spent on balls? $0.00.
I work at a golf course, when I go play I just grab balls out of one of my various 5 gallon buckets. Callaway, Titleist, Taylormade and Nitros are the most common. The first three stay in same bucket.
Bucket 2 gets filled with Bridgestone, Noodle, Vice, Cut, and Srixon. The last being the least found.
But…..after watching this I may buy a dozen to see if game improves.
Thanks for a wonderful channel!
The Topflite XL2000 would like to have a word with you about your claims! Not sure if you had those across the pond but pretty sure EVERY golfer that was mid/high handicap or on their way to a scramble played these.
I have been using the same TM TP5 for a few rounds now. Bought them from the local pond diver. Presently 8 handicap.
I find loads of these on my local course in hull. I quite like using them if I've already lost afew balls . I'm a high handicapper and normally use any premium balls I find in the sale section
I'm playing the Wilson Duo+ and they are the same price as the Srixon here in Sweden. I do like them. I'm a 28 hcp.
I use the Srixon Distance, but they have just released a new version of that ball too. which means that the local direct sports shop (not naming the shop) no longer do 2 dozen for £18. I think the AD333 work out a few quid more. But might be a better shout.
I play of 6.8 my golfball in the summer is a taylormade tour responce in the winter I use a callaway supersoft
Well James maybe in the U.K. But I live in the U.S. in approximately the middle of the country. I sneak onto golf courses in the middle of the night and collect miss hit balls. I have thousands. And at least 70 percent of my finds are Calloway Super Softs.
I'm a 18 hcp I play with titleist avx or pro v1.
My daughter 40 hcp just got her the srixon q star tour yellow/orange.
I play the Srixon Q-Star. Love them for the price, and performance. Of course I love the Titleist ProV1...TP-5...Srixon Z-Star...but the price......ooooff.....
My index is 3.3, and the ad333 is one of 2 balls I use , other one is tp5, both my favourite , both awesome
I use Titleist NXT Tour (lake balls), good balls at a price where I'm ok when I lose one.
Getting these balls (q-star here in Canada) for half price every year around Father’s Day is perfect. Load up every year.
I looked these up and Sportchek is showing AD333. I live in Ontario. But the Q-Star is one of my favourites for the price. Soft Feel is a great deal too. Gotta love the Srixon sale at Golftown.
@@bobbrown5951 yup. I’ve used both. But I’ve only found the AD333 at sportchek (at half price late last year!). I usually just stock up every year at GT buy one get one free on the q stars. Not sure why anyone would buy the crazy expensive balls when Srixons are always on sale (including the premium z stars).
I played the AD333 recently and really liked it. My only issue was I managed to keep one for 10 holes and at the end it felt like a curled-up hedgehog. I’ve recently got a load of Slazenger v300 and can’t feel any difference between the 2 balls or see any difference in performance. Distance, flight, touch around the greens, all feel the same.
That would be a ball worth reviewing. £20 for 48! V300 (not the rock that is the V100!!!!)
Years ago I used to play 333 tour. But now as a mid handicap golfer I use tp5x pix because my strength is short game so I want to play to my strength and get the best
Using the srixon distance ball have been for quite a while. Great ball and great price.
Hi James I play the Wilson staff dx2 great balls
23 index, only use found balls. Most found ball pro v.
I play off 28 .. I only play Pro V1 .. because I’m easily parted from my money ! ...Nothing wrong with the AD333
I bought two dozen Srixon soft feels last year and they are certainly good enough for me, but I’ve only used two sleeves in the last year due to all the TP5s and ProV1s I find while looking for them in the woods
Honest 16 handicap and I use the Snell MTB Black, $32 USD a dozen with all the performance you could want.
There's only so much *new* golf stuff that youtubers can review. It takes time to script, film, and edit... people claiming X stole from Y, or Y steals from Z... new stuff comes out, content embargo (can't release your article until X date)...
If James has been working on on this, and Rick just released it... makes sense James to release it as well. Think petro/gas stations on all corners on an intersection. Another view, another choice. RUclips algo will probably link them together...
Try and just enjoy the content...
Appreciate this comment Lloyd
I'm watching both and I'm not even interested in the ball.. I like the content from James, Rick, Pete, and Andy... Would love to see a collab.
Spot on Lloyd
They all seem to have a different way of presenting their reviews.
Collaborate it and put out one video..lol.
ADTriple3, I have these plus lots of others as in my last two rounds I have found over 30 golf balls, half gone into the practice bag. Srixon seem to be a popular ball getting lost on my local course, maybe they are recommended by the pro shops aimed at mid to high handicappers
I tend to pick either the newest looking ball in my bag or the ball from my last round if it went well to play with. Try not to tempt fate and the woods with a new ball on the first
Srixon soft feel for me. Not down to price, honestly rather the feel v any premium ball. Have tried with pro v’s etc but the soft feel for me is just my favourite
Hey James would you include golf hack in the category for this ball 🤣😁.thats where i fall. Love your work. Thanks for keeping me entertained and informed through our 6th lockdown
Recently switched to the Cut - Blue golf balls. 3 piece, Urethane cover for only $20 bucks.
Top Flight. Hands down the #1 ball everyone played at our local muni.
As a high Handicap (I suppose if I had one) player I use chav world slazengers or callaways.
I started in July and always played with a TP5 7.9 is my handicap ( never really lose balls as I use 2 iron from tee lol ) my mates who range from +1 to the highest being myself and they literally use anything….. had one use a commando 🤨 never even heard of it!! I must admit I love a soft ball but with my raw faced wedges they get wrecked especially out of sand
Hi James, I play off 19 and always play the Srixon soft feel or the ad. Great price, great feel... love em...
