Srixon Trispeed Golf Ball
All things are relative when selecting a golf ball , you have to take a lot of factors into consideration when deciding on which features you want in a golf ball; some of the factors are swing speed, greenside control, distance, spin, price, performance etc. Today I’m going to focus on performance, ball speed, and feel. These are the three features that can be found in the new Srixon Trispeed golf ball.
Srixon Trispeed Golf Ball Profile
Look and Feel
The Srixon Trispeed is an affordable 3-piece construction multilayer golf ball targeted at golfers of all abilities and varying swing speeds (70+ MPH). The Srixon Trispeed is packed with a lot of technology, that make it such a versatile golf ball with an emphasis on ball speed and velocity without sacrificing feel. Some of the technology is the low compression gradient core, Rabalon® blended boundary mid-layer, and the Rabalon® blended soft cover. The new Trispeed’s also feature a 333 dimple pattern and nice pronounced aim line .
Off the Tee
During my tests, I compared the Srixon Trispeed with the Callaway HX Hot golf ball. The Trispeed is aimed at golfers with swing speeds in the 70+ MPH range and claims to offer increased distance and higher ball speed and velocity without loss of feel. The low compression Energetic Growth Gradient core (EGG) allows for a more efficient transfer of energy to the golf ball. Couple the EGG with the highly resilient Rabalon® blended soft mid-layer and you have clubhead speed being easily transfered to the ball that will result in greater ball speed and velocity on your shots. The aerodynamic 333 dimple design pattern on the Trispeed gives your shots a nice high trajectory. I found that my drives produced a nice high launch angle and carried my ball about 2-3 yards further than my Callaway HX Hot. I have a tendency to put more spin on my drives, so the Trispeed didn’t help that much in terms of reducing the amount of spin on mis-hits. The one thing I did notice is that Trispeed does a nice job of getting the ball high in the air to provide some extra distance off the tee by compressing very nicely off the face of my driver. When it came to hitting the Srixon Trispeed with my irons, I found it produced really nice shots that were crisp feeling and easy to shape without the extra carry and roll, so you don’t have to worry about your ball rolling past the green or into a hazard. The high launch angle of my iron shots and the amount of spin put on the ball greatly affect the amount of carry, and the Trispeed stops quite quickly after impact.
Short Game
The short game is frequently referred to as the scoring zone in golf and no where is the amount of control and feel of the golf ball your playing more important. The Srixon Trispeed does a nice job of providing a good amount of control and feel in and around the green. The soft Rabalon® blended cover made the Trispeed very responsive when it came to putting. The ball has a nice pronounced aim line that make it very easy to line up your putt and the soft cover provides the right amount of feel when putting. Now when it comes to pitch and chip shots around the green, I found that the Srixon Trispeed does a nice job of producing shots with a good amount of spin and responsiveness in and around the green. Is the Trispeed going to give you the stop on a dime type of spin you get from a Pro V1, Bridgestone Tour B330-S or Tour 330-RX? No, but it will provide you the type of control and feel you won’t find in other comparable golf balls. I found that in terms of feel the Srixon Trispeed was much more responsive than my Callaway HX Hot in chip and pitch shots.
If your looking for a golf ball that provides distance and ball speed, without sacrificing feel, then you should pick up a box of the Srixon Trispeed golf balls.
