[justinmill14]

I am using Top flite XL 3000's right now, what balls do u guys like best and think i should get next

[Gone.Golfing]

Pro V1x since gives fair enough spin without sacrificing yards

[Jaybone]

I took a trip to a Golf Galaxy the other day. I was talking to the head equipment guy there and was asking him what balls he recommended. He said the TopFlite D2 Straight was a good ball and he also recommended (and I bought to try) Callaway HX Hot Bites.
He said (don't know if its true) both have all the features that Titleist stole for their ProV1's.

[justinmill14]

alright thanks, and both are very much cheaper than the pro v1's from what i have checked

[cshelton]

I prefer the NXT Tour, however the GranZ is a great deal at most golf galaxy stores for $1.50 a ball.

Pro V1x. I get the same spin off of these as a Pro V1 with more distance.

1: Balls I use
Taylormade TP reds 07 (Sports authorty for 25 bucks)
Top Flite Gamer (20 bucks)
Noodle + (16 bucks)

2: Balls you should get next
That depends on if money is a consideration, I would not recommend Prov anything for a 36 handicapper.

Topflite D2 feel 15 pack for 15 bucks would be my suggestion

alright thanks, i am thinking about the d2s probally, and 36 isnt my handicap, it was just the default and i havent changed it because i actually am not even sure what it is

I wouldnt recommend a Pro V1 or any of the other premium balls for a high-handicapper. I go with one of the harder, distance balls that are designed to limit spin. The will reduce the amount of sidespin that you get, which will result in straighter shots.
Id really look into Precept. Their balls are made by Bridgestone (Bridgestone owns Precept, actually), their balls are really affordable and they are designed to reduce sidespin, so you get longer, straighter shots. Granted, the ball wont stop on a dime when it hits the green, but thats the price you pay with a harder ball.
You could get a 24-pack of Precept Laddie Xs for $20, which is a pretty sweet deal.

I play the Ignites, but making my self switch to the Platinums. I love the spin on the with the irons, and theyre just as long as my ignites.

[justinmill14]

that is a very good deal titleist! i will check them out! thanks!

[Smallville]

What's on sale?

I disagree that beginners need balls with less spin. Spin gives you lift and if you are not hitting greens, then you need more spin than anybody to get up and down around the green. A pro COULD use any ball, the high handicapper needs more performance form their ball than anyone else.

[Chilli Dipper]

If you can hit your driver over 225 yards, you're long enough to step up from distance balls. You probably lose more shots from a lack of touch on approach shots and near the green than you do with inaccuracy off the tee. Granted, ProV1s and other $40 tour balls aren't worth it for the average player in terms of price and performance. I'd suggest a three-piece ball; the Top Flite Gamer and Wilson Staff Zip are both three-pieces that can be found for under $20 a dozen at most golf stores.

[nico002]

^^ I agree with this statement.

High handicappers are faced with tons of 10-50 yard third shots to the greens on par 4s.

[ZillaB]

I recently switched from ProV1's to the Top Flite Gamer and haven't looked back.

[tonyy]

I usually play with Nike Power Distance balls, they're pretty cheap and have an over-all nice feel to them. For tournaments or something, I bust out my Pro V1's.

[AlCzervik]

right now i have none in my bag. i dont know what i will buy next.
