You can find the Nike PD Soft (green box) for about $15/dozen -- nice distance, soft cover and medium spin. I drop and stop them on greens routinely from 150 yards and in.

If you want to play Pro V1x, pick up a dozen recycled at Target for about $26. I've played this alot as well as the NEW ones and I note no difference.

The Bridgestone B330-S is the best ball I've ever played. I played Prov1's and Prov1x's for two straight months (on my high school team you get them for free) and I am convinced personally that the B330-S is a better golf ball. It performs better in windy conditions, less hook or slice pattern if I were to use a Prov1, and it goes further than the Prov1's...not by much but I found just a tad for me.

It's also really nice around the greens. It's my favorite golf ball out there right now.

I'm a fan of the bridgestone balls but I've recently changed to the new topflight gamers. $20 per dozen new, and I didn't lose any distance and gained more spin control around ther greens. How I chose my new ball selection was research and I bought 1 sleeve of each brand I wanted to try out and pick the ball that was right for me.

I was playing the B330-S. The Gamer is no where near as nice feeling and "spiny" but for $20, I think I found my new ball. I tried the Hx Hot Bite and really didn't like it much and could not stop the ball but for some reason the Gamer is really working for me.

I got a good amount of spin from the HX hot bite but I had an issue with it's durability. Every time I pulled out a wedge the ball was done after one shot. Not much use buying cheap balls if you go through 3-4 in a round without losing a single one.

I like the Bridgestone e6+ or the Srixon Trispeed; however, if you have a higher swing speed the Srixon may not respond as well for you. The AD333 is a good ball but doesn't give as much control around the green. I like the Srixon URS but it is pricier than the models you listed.

    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
