Whats the worst ball you've played this year?

For me, it was a sale on Tommy Armour (I think thats how its spelled) TI-Spin balls. They were on sale at Walmart for 5$ for 15. I picked up 4 boxes, and a couple of days later I tried them. I couldn't hit a decent shot with them at all, and after the third hole I switched back to Callaway Warbirds. The rest of the round went pretty well with the warbirds.

Fast forward to home. I have a large field in back of my house, long enough for me to hit drives. So I started hitting these balls in back of the house, figuring it was just me. I have a large inventory of range balls, so i made sure to keep them seperate to get a few people to try them.

Everyone hates them, they have no distance and dont fly straight.

Im all for cheap balls (I bought 10 boxes of warbirds for 100$, great balls for a high handicap like mine), but I wouldnt take those ones for free.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Seemore Si-4 Black Nickel Putter

Back during the "cold" winter months I tried a tip and picked up some Wilson Zips....theory being the softness would yield great results in the cold.

They didn't feel good at all off the putter and came up 1/2 club short off my irons and wedges.


The best ball that I've tried this year has been the ProV1. Wow, big revelation there, right. I simply never had the confidence in my game to spend this kinda dough on a premium pill like this. I finally couldn't resist and wanted to see what all the hype was about. OMG....can you say backspin! I had some wild results. Driver distance wasn't harmed either. I just don't have the $$$$ to play these balls all the time, though.

Tried playing with some Wilson XDuty US Open balls. Worst balls I've hit with a golf club, but then again using tennis balls may not be desirable.

Wow if those are the worst balls you've played man you live in luxury. Last year when I started, I was playing these "Ultra" golf balls and they were hard as rocks
