I dont mind playing expensive balls but i have never been a fan of the prov's, i like a ball to release on chip shots and i could never seem to predict how much they would check and it always cost me a few strokes a round. I played the bridgestone e5+ last year and also was playing the top flite gamer at the end of the year but had problems with cutting the balls whenever i would hit wedge shots, and also have the same problem with the prov's
It means the core gets firmer the more it is compressed, i.e it gets harder the closer you get to the center of the ball. This actually makes a lot of sense since the ball will feel softer on less than full or slow swing speed shots and firmer on higher swing speed shots. I expect this is why you don't find it "too soft" even though you have a fairly high swing speed.

I like the Gamers too but also chew up the covers. I am going to have to try the Treosoft this year as I am looking for the same kind of ball you describe.
