Cally Hex dimples best wind ball I've played over the years. I grew up in Chicago, live in DFW area now, so played in wind most of my life.

I really like the Taylormade TP5x performance in the wind...very stable & penetrating ball flight.

Real sleepers is this aspect are the Wilson Professional and FGTour balls, depending on the temp, Pro for chilly , FG for warm. Currently testing the STAFF ball as well - Same, but a firm feel/sound.

Even the regular TP5 is outstanding in the wind. I remember when I first started playing them I’d set up for a shot to account for the wind like I normally would and the wind just didn’t affect it in the same manner leaving me in some bad places. Took me a little while to adjust and trust it but eventually I did.

ive tested 5 premium balls in the last few weeks on windy days. Worst performing in the wind are Srixon XV and Chromesoft. These two ballooned like crazy. Average performing balls are TP5x, Snell MTB black. These both held up for the most part. Directly into a stiff wind they ballooned a bit but overall did well in 1-2 club wind.

It would be interesting to try the Gamer. I don't think we get them in Oz. The only TF balls are rocks.

I play in Hawaii, where 10-15 MPH is a calm day. I've played just about every tour ball out there, and Penta is hands-down the best (for me) in the wind.

Laws of Woo

My home course is fairly windy most days. Balls I've found to work best are the Srixon Z-Star XV and Callaway Hex Black. Both hold the line pretty decently, I feel I get more out of the Srixon however, and as such play that.

If "just a hair out" then consider eBay. I bought 2 dozen for under $56 total delivered. There were other deals to be had -- as low as $54 for 2 dozen. These are new in original packages without logos or other odd stuff.
