Anyone playing this ball right now and want to share thoughts on it .

The new Diamond that just hit the Tour seems to be getting great reviews.

Mom, who normally buys the worst possible golf gifts found a box of Masters diamonds with green and yellow numbers on Amazon.

Really like this ball. Typically prefer a ProVx but it seems like it spins as much but is much softer than both Prov and Vx.

I’m a fan.

It’s a great ball as long if you prefer a high spin ball. It spun 3-400 rpm more off the driver for me compared to pro v1x but great everywhere else. Despite the high spin, it’s plenty long.

Spun it too much off the tee, liked everything else about it though.

A little more spin won't bother me.

It should help me lift my fairway woods and hybrid off the deck.

Played it for the majority of this year because it is fantastic around the green. I could almost toss it from anywhere and it'd be a one hop and check ball. But it was just creating way too much spin off the driver and even more with the irons. Switched back to the ProV. Going to test a few more in the offseason.

It will be interesting to try the new Diamond when released.

If the ball spins so much, I wonder how half of the Srixon staff play it ?

A few reasons. Balls are usually fit to irons first and most Srixon staffers play zx7’s, which are lower spin than other players cbs so they complement each other. Most players distance or game improvement irons are even lower spin than the zx7 so they should complement those as well.. Also, pro’s like high spin (Tiger is the extreme). Finally they fit their driver to their ball so they can use a lower spin head or lower loft to mitigate excessive spin. Many pros also spin drivers higher than amateurs think are ideal, 2500-2800.
