I'm not laughing.......if it helps you keep track of your ball and speeds up play, then I'm all for it......5 hour rounds are murder on your pace of play.....

After years of using Titleist Pro V1s despite the self-appointed experts telling me that it was only for golfers with higher swing speeds, I tried Nike One Blacks and was pretty impressed with the performance although I thought they were a little pricey. I then played a round with the Noodle Easy Distance and was very impressed at the the performance of this ball for the price. I'm going to try some Bridgestone E6's and some Gamer V2s in the near future and see if I do better with them but for right now my preferred ball is the Noodle.

I played a few holes yesterday with the Wilson Staff FG Tours - didn't finish the round with the one sleeve I brought and had to go back to another ball.

One ball was lost due to trying to thread a 3 wood between water and trees, when a 4 or 5 iron to a big fat landing area would have been the smart play. Ball two was a brain cramp followed by a sideways Fybrid into the trees. Ball # 3, like ball #1, met a watery grave. This one was also club selection. On a hole that used to be a 4 iron to the number 12 landing area, apparently I now need a 5 or 6 iron. Probably a 6. Anyway, the ball is long, it spins nicely, feels good off the putter, and at 3x the price of Wilson Eco Cores, needs a player who pays more attention to club selection.

If you didn't like the thread, then why reply? Sorry I bored you!!

Sean has a point. Out of all the ball manufactuers you only pick 4? Why? No TaylorMade, no TopFlite, no Maxfli, no Srixon, no Precept, just to name a few. He's right in that it's a bogus poll when you limit the choices that much.

I just switched from TM Penta to Bridgestone E6. I get the E6 for a good price with my employee discount, about half the price of the Penta, and lately my game doesn't deserve to be treated to a better ball.

For the past two months I've been playing a Calloway Tour iz and I really love it. They check up so well around the green that I'm contemplating not even using the Pro V1's my coach hands out before a tournament. I'll probably end up grabing a sleeve of each, plus a few Pentas and head to a chipping green to make my final decision.

Fybrid?

Fybrid?

it's wilson staff's hybrid.

It's a mix between a fairway wood and a hybrid, the head is a little bigger than a hybrid. Small than a wood.

just bought 100 AAAAA taylormade burner ldp balls and 100 AAAAA maxfli noodle balls from lost golf balls. This is enough so i don't have to go searching for a lost ball (I hate searching for balls, makes it less enjoyable for me). Your welcome to anyone that ends up playing behind me.

This season I've downgraded to the new version of the Top Flight Gamer. It's the only thing I've used at the par-3 course (which I've played maybe 12-15 times this season). It's a decent ball. Sometimes I don't get the spin I'm going for around the greens. It's decent but not great in all areas of the game, so I'll continue to use it for now. I did buy a box of Bridgestone E6s (I think that's the model I got), but they're sitting in my desk at the moment. I may bust those out sometime this month.

Been using Nike golf balls lately. For the most part, in 2010:

Picked up about 3 dozen Nike PD Soft for $10 each, then bought another 3 dozen Nike Juice Plus balls (discontinued) for $11/dozen and one Dozen Nike Crush for $18 but it came with a free golf towel. I also have 2 dozen Nike One Tour balls that I picked up for $20/dozen...

I guess part of it is because I've been getting good deals on Nike balls..

I'm with James Black. I play whatever I find. I prefer a 3 piece ball like the HX Hot Bite or NXT Tour. I find decent golf balls faster than I lose them. I currently have 5 dozen prov1 or Prov1x in a box in my closet that I have found and need to sell since I don't play them.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
