I would go to your local Target or Wal-mart and pick up some Precept U-Tri Tours. I bought about 5 boxes on sale for 19.99 each. I think they usually go for about 23 bucks though. It's a 3 piece and plays very well for the price.

I've been playing the Nike Mojo for a little while (they're now out of production, but still plenty to be had). I'm pretty happy with them @ ~$20 per dozen.

I also like the Callaway HX Hot. I can pick up logo overruns from Golfsmith for $18.99 per dozen. They're a 3 piece ball, and I like them quite a bit. I'll usually shag one out into the weeds before really 'wearing' it out, but I've had a few last an entire round and still be playable. Keeping them off the cart path is the big key to longevity for me.

The Nike Juice is a pretty great ball. It feels great, and is what my brother plays exclusively. Also ~$20 per dozen.

The Taylor TP Black is one of my favorite balls to play, but they're out of my budget unless I buy X outs, or reloads. They're a 'once in a while' kind of purchase.

The only Titelist balls I've played, have been those I've found, so I don't really have a lot to offer there.

The two mid-priced balls that I like the best in no particular order are:

e5+ : good distance, soft feel and pretty high spin rate

Taylormade burner TP: same as above but not quite as soft but a little more durable.

Played some Taylormade Black X-outs from Dick's and they felt like rocks.

I like the feel, I like the E6+, and I also like NXT Tour.

Top-Flite Gamer is my vote, $20 bucks for a box, has a good amount of distance & spin to it. I hit my drives the same distance as you and these balls were great! I think the ionomer is kind of weak though, after about 3 holes, I was having to switch to a new ball because of scars and frays to the ball.

When I tried these a few weeks ago, I thought they were like rocks. I could get no spin on the ball whatsoever.

2007 ProV1 AAAA quality balls at lostgolfballs.com are $24/dozen.

"Highest quality ball in the marketplace. Like New. Perfect to very near perfect. Usually called “ONE HIT WONDERS”. Just like a ball out of the box!"

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

Ditto

These balls are excellent, I was using them for about a year, then I upgraded to Pro V1x's. The AD333 Has great distance and can really get some good spin with them around the greens.

I've been playing e5's and nike TA2 SPN's. Both play very well and you can get both for under $20 a box. I used to play pro v1x's but can't justify the cost anymore, however I have had great results with both of these other balls.

I was going to suggest that if you're prepared to pay $30 a dz then go online and you can have your choice of any ball you want. Ok they don't come in a box but they behave the same and that is key.

The best value ball I've got online is the Maxfli Black Max from Lost Golf Balls, $13 per dz. I know they've been discontinued, but I challenge anyone to find me a better playing ball for that price. I'm not too bothered about distance so I'll only comment on the fact that they feel great with the shorter clubs and behave like a ball 3 times its price.

No kidding. Today I bought a box of a dozen Nike One Platinum balls at Target for $35.

More or less, I just wanted to try a, "premium" ball to see if there is much of a difference from a premium ball to a cheapie ball. Most likely when I use those balls up, I'll be back to playing Titleist DT Carry or DT Roll. You cant go wrong with those at $24 a dozen.

    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
