  Which balls are recommended for the G20 clubs? Just got my new iron set of G20 & need some feedback on the best balls to use with them. Thank you!

  Personally off the Pro tees, the Srixons you are currently using are perfectly adequate. They have more than enough spin to hold the green from where you are playing your second from. I think I used the SD- tour WGT balls until I made TM.

  If meter speed is an issue obviously go for a slow meter ball, ie one with more feel, like the slow meter Cally or the New Nikes or max balls but with the G20s this shouldn't be the case.

  When you make Master then a ball with more spin is helpful but I feel a premium ball at this stage is a waste.

  Thanks! Most excellent answer! The balls I'm using now seem to work for me, but I was looking for some tips from you really good golfers. I'll ride these out until I make Master as you suggest. Wish me luck!

  I do wish you luck and hope you love the G20s, I loved them!

  Only advice I will give, work hard on the short game, your sand and scrambling stats need to come up and that goes for the putting too. Use practice mode and try all the different shots around the green (par 3 course is good for this) and take notes of the lies, shot and distances.

  Will do. I thought it was better for me to play these 9-hole tourneys for experience?? Is it better to go to practice mode instead? I was trying to get the most XP by doing only tournament modes. Is that wrong?

  Nothing wrong at all lol. Just take notes of the the lies and the type of shot used to learn the yardages your shots around the green go (as well as the gradient). The advantage in practice mode is if you get a shot wrong, just hit the ball back and try again. In a RR it  won't help your average doing that!
