I dont know how or why you wouldnt go stock up now and get the price you want and play the best ball available (both the Nike and the Penta are comparable to Pro V1).

I've been doing this for almost a decade.  I bought numerous boxes of Nike One Blacks, the Tour D's, and now I'm stocking up on 20XI-X's.  I refuse to pay more than around 30 dollars for any golf ball, but yet I still can play with tour balls by stocking up on previous models when they run sells like buy 2 get one free.

I'll never ever play a Titleist golf ball because they are elitist and will not allow their items to be on sell.  I just give them the finger and play tour level balls from reasonable manufacturers that don't expect every golfer to make 6 figures so they can afford ProV1's.  (sorry this is my pet peeve)

Wilson Duo - $19.95 and they give you a 2 pack free, too. Excellent - long, I mean really long and they bite great for a 2 piece. For a little slower swing speed, but what the hell. Unfortunately, not made in yellow and I am in love with yellow balls. They are so popular with geezers like me, they are hard to find. Just came out this spring.

Bridgestone e6 is an excellent all around ball (and they make it in yellow).............

another vote for the titleist velocity's. i switched from playing the pro v's and v1x's to the velocity for a cheaper price point and got added yardage as a bonus. there is almost 1 club difference in length from the pro v's to the velocity's for me. still a very soft feel around the greens. not quite as much spin as the pro v's but a very predictable and pleasing ball flight. plus the double digit #'s are just friggin cool. picked up 2 dozen of them tonight actually.

honestly ive never played a srixon. i couldnt tell you first hand. the only suggestion id have is to buy a sleeve of velocitys at your local course and try them out for 9 or 18 and see if you like them.

These deliver for the price.  Unfortunately Top Flite was bought by Dicks, so I haven't seen the balls on sale any time recently in stores but E-Bay has them pretty cheap when you buy them in bulk.  A 3-Piece ball for what comes out to about 1$ a ball on ebay?  You can't lose.  It doesn't have as much spin as the other 3 piece balls many are used to but the distance is long on them and the workability around the green surpasses anything else in the price range.

If you can get past the fact that they are top flites, they will become a quick, cheap favorite of yours.

How about the MasterGrip C4?

You can only get them from their online store at http://www.mggolf.com/balls.asp?ru=0

and the price is right.....I found one the other day and tried it out against a ProV1    you could not tell the difference from the trajectory or short game.

"Our Tour C4 has the distance, spin and feel of a Titleist ® Pro V1 ® ...

But compared to their street price of $47.99, our rollback price of $19.99 a dozen makes even more sense."

Thinking of going back to the bridgestone e6. If I remember correctly this ball is very effective off the tee and the dimple pattern helps with slicing a bit. Any other balls to consider? Not really feeling the Nike black I have been playing.

i have been impressed with the top flite gamer v2

i'm not saying it's on the same level as a proV1, but we are talking about golf balls under the $27 mark, and at that pricepoint, i just don't think it gets better than the top flite gamer

That would be your best bet.  I also like the srixon soft feel brand new for 25.  Only problem with those is that their covering tends to scuff easily.

If you do that make sure that the balls are RECYCLED, not refinished.

I play the TopFlite Gamer V2.

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.

      Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
