I'm probably an outlier, but I have so many brand new balls in boxes from a variety of companies, there's no way I could be devoted to one brand. Presents, free sleeve samples handed out at big box stores, boxes of balls won at various company golf outings, etc. Plus, I'm not adverse to reusing found balls as long as they're in decent condition. Also, when my swing goes haywire, as it has recently, I hate staring down at a brand now Pro V1. All I see at that moment is a five-dollar bill with the real potential to go sailing off into the woods so that's usually when the found balls get put on the tee.

As a Srixon staffer, I mainly use the z star xv. However, the -prov1x is a really good ball for my game. If I find other balls, I give them away to friends.

If my ball was loyal to me, I would be loyal to it. But it only goes where I hit, not where I want it to go, so I see no reason for loyalty.

I'm a HUGE believer in being golf ball loyal and really believe that anyone who's serious about golf (or too serious about golf like me) should use the same ball all the time.

For the last 10 years or so I've played Bridgestone RX. As part of trying to break out of an extended slump, I decided to try some new balls out. Now I know that the slump was caused by the golfer and not the balls or the clubs, but I have decided that either the newest version doesn't play as well around and into the green or more likely, the Bridgestone is not the best ball for the courses at my club since my move last year. 

Regardless, I'm now between Srixon Z-Star Diamond or a Z-Star. I think I like the Diamond better, but it doesn't come in yellow and I sometimes struggle to see a white ball.

I have played Bridgestone balls for about 12- 15 yrs.      4 to 5 types the last 3 yrs. I play the E6 its the ball I know and trust.................

Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice.

I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.

    • First, it is on free TV. NBC is free to anyone with an antenna, and is on almost any TV in the U.S. with a minimal amount of effort. Charging "a bargain price" would be incredibly dumb. They charged $750 and the event sold out almost immediately. You could better argue they should have charged MORE, not less. What happens if you charge less: ticket scalpers buy up even more of the tickets because they see value: if tickets were $250, they'd clearly have sold for $1k or more on the secondary market. That's tremendous value. Fans would end up paying the same or more, or just not being able to go. Sure, a few who happened to be online at the precise moment on a fast connection and didn't fumble with their credit cards might have gotten tickets for $250, but the secondary market and ticket brokers would have scooped up the vast majority with automated processes and bots and scripts, then re-sold them later on. This way, fans get to purchase the tickets, and the PGA is earning that revenue, not the secondary ticket brokers. Econ 101. Supply and Demand. Nope.
    • Edit - the link has no title, but basically Tiger wants $5 million for each US player to “donate to charity”   They could put the Ryder Cup on free to air tv, and charge the fans a bargain price to get in.  If you have to  give the players $60 million, that’s why the tickets are $750.

    • P7TWs all day IMO. Especially because they're already fit for you. And it sounds like you have an interest in buying/selling so using the Vapor Pros would only decrease their value.
