I gave the soccer balls a try.

Seemed to make a clicking noise, just sounded funny to me.

I hit it ok, but I just did not like the auditory feedback.

Has anyone played a golf ball where you just did not like the sound of the shot?

TP5's or anything that soft. Hard to beat it around the greens b/c of the feel but I hate the way it feels off the longer clubs, especially on a miss hit.

Yes! The chromesoft X LS is very clicky. I didn’t like it at all. I got some regular chrome soft for practice, and they aren’t as bad as the X LS.

Maybe you or Bopper could help me understand the resonance of the sound a ball makes.

This one was so loud, my friend and I thought I had struck a buried rock or something on one shot, but it even clicked on a short pitch.

It may be too much golf ball for my swing speed anyway.

I went back to titleist tru feel in a matte red color.

Does the matte finish grab the green better theoretically?

Check out Mygolfspy. Matte finishes truly struggle with any dew or wet conditions.

Love the feel of Chromesoft. But I am seeing a perfomance difference with "clickier" balls. Irons are longer, spin is increased around the greens. TP5X is a rock but cant deny it performs well. Srixon Z star player who is thinking about XV. Pretty slow old guy swing speed around 95

TP5s feel clicky to me and I'm off by about 5 yards in distance on each club

Found a Chrome Soft X the other day and after chipping with it I thought it might be a defected or refurbished ball painted to look like a Chrome Soft; sounds absurdly clicky.

ProV1x, Z Star XV, and especially TP5x sound or feel clicky to a degree, but nothing like that ball.

If you want to feel the other end of the spectrum for fun, play a hole with an "X" series ball, then play the next with a Callaway Supersoft, it feels like a bouncy ball

Ordered some the other day because I want to take off as much spin as possible. Ive been playing the Bridgestone BXS so i'm looking forward to the Chrome Soft x LS.
