I like hex chrome +. Also srixon

When I did a ball fitting last year the hex chrome + was the best fit. However they are nowhere to be found in my area. Plus I still lose too many balls a round to justify spending much on golf balls. I need to find a decent $20 per dozen or so ball that I can get. The wilson duo and titleist solo aren't bad, but even losing them sometimes is painful if I have an exceptionally bad day on the tee.

KICK THE FLIP!!

In the bag:
:srixon: Z355

:callaway: XR16 3 Wood
:tmade: Aeroburner 19* 3 hybrid

:vokey: SM5 50, 60

I've been playing Maxfli U3 or U4s all year so far and I've been pretty happy with them-- $15 for U3, $20 for U4 at Dick's.

I also have been playing the Maxfli U3 which for my SS (85-90) has been great.  I have also been playing the TM Project (a) occasionally which has a touch more spin than the U3 but is not as long for me.  I have a dozen Gamer Soft balls to try after buying them for my 9 year old grandson and watching him increase his drives from about 120 to 150 (he was playing any ball, usually a distance ball).  I chipped one of the Gamer Softs on the last hole and it felt great and performed well.

Plenty to choose from.

I found that contrary to their past lineups, the Callaway Speed Regime Balls feel extremely soft and are performers. If you're going for less money, and why not, I've found deals at 15% off, and have found some on ebay at better pricing. I've heard that the Taylormade TP Balls are also excellent.

I am not that good yet where a $4 golf ball will help my game.  Also this is the first year I chose to use Yellow balls.  This decision was made due to the past few years here in PA the courses stayed lush all year and the grass did not grow slower in the summers due to all the rain.  Lots of the courses around here use a Kentucky blue grass mix and you can not mow that as low so I was losing way too many balls.  Out of all the yellow balls I have tried for less then $30 a box I like the Golfsmith MacGregor tourney yellow.  Golfsmith owns that brand name.  I love this ball.  Only other ball I have in my bag right now is the Srixon Q-star tour yellow.  That is a nice ball as well.

+1-MacGregor tourney yellow all last season. $20 for 30 at Golf town.  +25 here. For me they are more consistant than using the various freebies and reconditioned boxes previously. They sure have helped my shots to the green

I usr Srixon Z star just because they are easy to find at $30 a dozen and I like the optic yellow, I like pro v 1's for all the reasons anyone would but are just hard to find cheap.

    • I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.
    • Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV. 
    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
