Best golf ball....UMM???

[ganjagolfer]

sound advice. I used a Penn Championship to win a game of skins last weekend. Easily to find on the course.

congrats! i've hit a few but never have putted any, how do they putt? do they even fit in the hole?

[Eore]

i think they JUST fit, but don't go all the way down-I have a feeling that i would slice a tennis ball more-there is more ball to come over the top on.

i'll bring one tomorrow (my first round!!!!) and hit one on the range

I pick the Taylor Made TP Red. Perfect feel off every club. The others have a marshmellow feel. The only drawback of the TP Red is that it isn't very durable.

[JackieTreehorn]

I with you...I generally use whatever decent ball I have handy. I know that hitting NIke One Black and PLatinum gives an awesome flight.

TM tp black is one fine ball. Distance, spin, feel, it's all there and in the rigth combinations for my game

[Dp132010]

yeah i am a high handicapper also and i buy whatever is the best buy one get one at the store... do balls really make a big diference?

Pro V1 all the way. Tried the Nike One Platinum a round and hated it, but I decided to give it another chance and hated it again. Stickin with the Pro V.

Hard question...

A very good player will still play well with a rock A very poor player will still play poorly with a well fitted ball... From the poorest fitting ball to the perfect ball for you maybe there's 4-5 strokes in it? Dunno? In the end the ball that fits you will allow for a more enjoyable time out on the course.

i just started using the Tour iX today and it's a great ball.

I bought a sleeve of 3 along with the Maxfli blackmax & the bridgestone 330 but the Callaway seems to be the best.

I range during the year from a 6 to an 8 handicap and used to always love playing the Titleist Tour Balata back in the 90's, then the Professional and like the Pro V's now. But for the money ($20 for 2 dozen), you can't beat the Laddie X. I play 2-3 times a month, in the past year I have shot 67 at a local muni and also shot as high as 86 at a tougher course a few hours from here. The one constant was the Laddie X. I agree with the earlier post that a good golfer will still be good no matter the ball, as a bad golfer will still be a bad golfer with a Pro V in his hand.

I agree 100%! TM Black TP is a underrated ball. Plus, it got the best stats in the Golf Digest Magazine on Balls.

I agree with this too. However, when I play with my favorite ball (Pro V1x), I shave 3-5 strokes almost without exception. IMO, there's a big difference between a round in the high 70's and a round in the low 70's.

But back to the primary topic. My favorite is the Pro V1x because my approach shots hit, take one bounce and stick. With the Pro V's, I'm very prone to spinning the ball off the front of green - which is worse than simply coming up short from an emotional standpoint! I haven't seen an appreciable difference off the tee, but I realize that most people do.

I like RAWs. I went golfing and used Nike 2s for my first 3 holes and lost all three balls. on the last 6 holes (played 9 hole golf) I used RAWs and didnt lose one.

[twomey7]

i use crap balls until i found a prov1 on a course, hit it, and loved it

[doyler-21]

I play srixon Z-URC because i find them as good as a pro v because there soff,great distance, and good around the green

I've made plenty of mistakes when purchasing balls. Ideally, you should use a ball that you can compress. The more you can compress it the further it will travel. You also may be interested in a softer ball that spins, less. I don't know where you struggle. You may hit short irons well but struggle with the driver. A little info on your game may help.

Good selections right there. I'll second that Laddie....24 for $19....not too bad. They perform well. I also saw some Precept Lady balls selling for $9 / dozen new. These arne't bad, either.

I'm gonna try the TopFlite Game next.

I voted for the Tour ix (Callaway). I don't play with them normally mainly because of the cost and I find the NXT Tour to still be a good ball but closer to my price range. I would prefer to play with the Tour ix but simply can't justify it at my handicap level.

[williethekid]

I didn't vote but, I am in love with my Bridgestone E5's they are amazing, have to imagine the B330 is just as good, these are great bang for your buck.
