I have to go with the 2007 Nike ones - especially since I loaded up on them once the price dropped.

Not to add another ball...but the Snake eyes SDF that I play is $15 for 30 balls. I personally feel it is a damn good ball, good distance, comes of the putter nice, I can't impart spin yet, so not sure how it acts in that regard.

I have tried more expensive balls and for me this ball fits my game nice.

2007 Nike Platinums @ $30 dz

I would stay away from the Nike Tou accuracy.

Both the platinums and the tps are great balls. The platinum is NOT as durable as the tp's. I used to play them, and anything from an 9 iron down will cut it to shreds. TP's red's are comparable to Pro V1's Bridgestones always play well above their price-point.

I have played the e5 and liked it.

Nike One Platinum did not do well at all in the Golf Magazine golf ball report a couple of months ago on driver distance (with an average ss), it was the worst performer, Nike commented it was for guys who hit like Tiger (ie, compress the ball).

On the higher ss tests the ball did fine in distance. It was the softest cover and highest spinning ball also. Fyi

I am going to vote Bridgestone e5/e6 because it is the only ball I have used out of your list. Also it is a great ball!!!

How much did you get yours for? I got extremely lucky and found an amazing deal on ebay. I got 4 dozen of the 2008 platinums (the new ones) bnib for $117 shipped. That's $29/dozen. Not bad when you consider that last years ball is on CLEARANCE for $30 and the 2008s are selling for $43/doz. That's a pretty good bang-for-the-buck ball if you ask me.
