I've used a few different balls (ProV, Nike Tour Accuracy, and more recently, the Nike SFT). I basically switched to bridgestone because of the commercials on the golf channel, and their philosophy of "just becuase it's used on tour doesn't mean you should use it" made sense to me. So i did the online fitting and chose the e6.

I played with it for the first time this weekend and did not lose a ball all day (I will typically lose 1 or 2). Also it had a great feel (to me) with my putts. I tihnk I'll stick to the bridgestones for a while.

Always used Titleist really. Before it was Pro V1, because I got them used and cheap from Ebay and didn't spend too much time considering which ball to use. Today I want to use Pro V1x, as I like it's characteristics better. I'm also going to give the TM Penta a go. Still, I often lose so many balls each round that I don't use new balls. I still got a bunch of used Pro V1s and random balls like Wilson, Top-Flite, Bridgestone etc. When I ever get so consistent that I don't have to worry about losing balls worth $20 during one round, I will play whe balls I like best.

For when a round really counts I use either the Titleist ProV1, the Taylor Made TP Red, or the Taylor Made PentaTP. When I am just practicing I use either the Top Flite Gamer or the Titleist DT SoLo.

Played my last two rounds with a Wison Eco Core - same ball - it's getting pretty scuffed up, so I'll put a new one in play next time.

Top flite D2 feels. About $1 a ball and I like the way it feels off the putter, and it gives me the most consistant performance around the course.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Bridgestone for me; currently B330 RX or RX S. Like the ProV1 but baulk at price. Need to try new Wilson FG Tour. Incidentally, if you can get them the Pinnacle Exception is an excellent ball for the money; very, very like the NXT Tour to use in my hands.

It always surprises me how many high handicappers play Titleist Pro V1. Prov1's have a rather thin shell but a fairly high compression core which leaves for most slower swing speed guys to not really get much of an advantage with the ball. The benefits of the Pro V1 comes when you have a fast swing speed. The soft shell enables for great spin control which not to offend anyone but not a lot of high h'cappers have.

I swing at 113mph average and even at that swing speed I've had many guys say I'm better off playing a softer compression ball.

do you guys actual feel the benefit of the Pro V1 at that price? I always thought so but after doing some ball fitting with the Bridgestone guys and after hitting literally dozens of diffrent balls models, I was surprised to find the distance and control I was getting with the Bridgestone E6.

My current ball is the Nike One Tour D. Sam's club had them for $12.91/dz. Then I will decide between the Nike One Tours I have in the basement(also $12.91/dz) and Taylormade TP Reds also in the basement. You needed a poll where we could pick multiples.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
