I am in need of some golf balls. I am not that great and do lose a good amount of them, so Titliest Pro V1x's are out of the question. I really like Nike Juice's, and I'd like to buy them new somewhere for cheap...

Is there any good golf balls that you can buy in bulk? I like soft golf balls, don't really care about spin, distance, etc...I go for feel.
What I Play:

Driver: Sasquatch SUMO² 9.5º Stiff

Irons: Staff Ci6 3-PW StiffWedges: Vokey Spin Milled 54.10 60.04Putter: Newport Studio Style 35"Ball: Pro V1xAge: 15

The new Wilson Titanium balls are fantastic IMO. I love 'em and they only cost $18.95 for 2 dozen. How's that for cheap?

I go used 98% of the time. I buy off of Ebay--usedgolfballs is the sellers name I think?? Just check their f-back percentage. For example, I picked up 6 dozen Srixon Z-UR's??--for less than $35--at least go with AAA or higher. Or, you can check your local Kmart and Walmart--I find refurbished, refinished, recycled balls there for cheap all the time. Precept Laddie, Maxfli Noodle, etc, etc.

Anyone heard anything about the Maxfli Black Max? I found a great deal on those bad boys, and it says it has the urethane cover, same as the Pro V1x's...

good? bad?

You didn't specify a price range. For new balls you can find good close-out prices online at Rockbottomgolf.com. For used balls of varying degrees of quality the best online site I've found is Knetgolf.com. Otherwise check the deals at the major retailers which often have bins of logo overuns featuring popular balls at bargain prices.
I have had a pretty good experience with Nike's Power Distance, and for $12 a dozen is quite a good deal....

Sports authority has the Nike SFT double doen pack on sale right now for 20 bucks. They play long and soft, not a ton of spin but really playable. For $20 its a great deal.

Top Flite D2 Feel. $15/15 pk. at your local sports store or even Wally World. I played this ball all last season, it's an all around excellent ball and dirt cheap too.

If you like a little firmer cover ball, the D2 Distance ball is excellent also. Same price, same locations.

What's in my bag (most of the time)

Well right now, I got my eyes on this:

4 dozen Maxfli Black Max golf balls for only $25...they are used, but in great condition. They are at my local golf shop.

Are these any good? I did some research, almost all 5/5's...it has the softer urethane cover like the Pro V1x's aswell.

Top Flite Strata TL Tour. Ive been saying it on here for years now, for the money you cant get a better ball. Just try it once. You'll be hooked. Its the best kept secret for balls in golf.

You can go to both places and find higher end balls much cheaper, too. Just food for thought.

Ball-White and Round

 


At the begginning of the year I was playing a course and found a ball labeled "Nitro". I had never heard of it and took a swing with it. It had a good feel so I played it the rest of the round and the next day. It took me over 4 rounds to lose that damn ball. Im not sure what it was about it but I had great control over it. I found some at Rockbottom golf's website. Currently they are selling them at 3 dozen for $21. I bought some that I bring out on really tight courses.

13 Wedges
1 Putter


I am a 6 HDCP and use $19.99 balls. Precept Laddie X. Good ball for the money, soft enough to scuff with the wedges too. My son is a 10 and he uses the Bridgestone e5+ (24.99 a dozen). His Mom likes him better than me!

    • Day 297: back to mirror work tonight. Working on slow movement for feels from the wrist stuff. 
    • Day 22: 5/13/25 Putting through gates and weight shift drills with a wedge.
    • I would be happy to hang out with you guys but as of now @DaveP043 and I are planning to stay in Cranberry Township. There’s a bit of travel between the two places, but maybe we can work something out.
    • Personally I have no issues with even the steroid-era figures such as Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa being inducted into the hall. My reasoning there is we already have nearly a half-dozen known steroid users in the hall, including those inducted after their steroid usage was already common knowledge. David Ortiz and Pedro Martinez (as well as Ivan Rodriguez, Adrian Beltre, and Todd Helton) both failed the same wave of anonymous drug tests that saw Sammy Sosa shunned by the nation, and he's in the hall. Piazza admitted to using Andro (the same thing McGwire was juicing with) and amphetamines. Greenies were commonplace in MLB clubhouses and used by countless stars, alongside cocaine, from at least the 60's all the way up until the early 2000's. There are at least a dozen other pros in the hall that have allegations from teammates who claim to have directly witnessed steroid usage. Even Nolan Ryan has stated that he thought steroid usage was a widespread problem in the sport as early as the mid to late 70's. I'm of the opinion that once that genie is out of the bottle, and it most certainly has been for decades now, it's a bit silly to pretend those already inducted are somehow morally superior for being not quite as astronomically and suspiciously good at baseball when using steroids. Hitters were using steroids, pitchers were using steroids (funny how we saw the number of complete games fall off a cliff at the same time that steroid enforcement was being ramped up), it's an even playing field as far as I'm concerned. To quote The Incredibles, "When everyone is super, no one will be".  As for Pete Rose it would appear that by all accounts he never bet as a player and only ever bet on his own team while managing. It's understandable to prohibit any involvement in the sport after it was discovered, but it's not something that gave him any advantage in reaching his level of achievement in the sport.  As for Joe Jackson, I personally don't think he should have been banned in the first place. He actively refused the bribe, tried to report the plot to the owner of the White Sox, and his alleged confession only occurred after the White Sox's team attorney got him roaring drunk immediately prior to the grand jury testimony. Every confessed conspirator also stated that he never attending any of their meetings or discussed plans with them. Not to mention the fact that if he WAS trying to fix the series he did an absolutely terrible job of it considering he was the best performing player on either team by far setting a World Series record that stood until 1964 and went error-free while gunning down at least one runner at home plate. 
    • Day 7: 5/13/2025 Range day today. Had a really good session. I was able to pull a mirror over into my stall and make a slow-mo swing in the mirror and then try to duplicate the swing to hit a ball.  Felt really good today. Tomorrow will be league night.
