[nikki]

hi,
a friend of mine (male hcp 30) asked me some suggestion for him.
He is looking for a ball that is give good playability but even some forgivnees.
I have no idea what to suggest him.

I've been very happy with Titleist Tour Prestige balls from Costco.

I think Costco is the only place you can get them. The web is saying $34 for a double dozen, but I'm pretty sure they are $29 at my Costco.

Maybe getting a bridgestone e5+ or e6+. Its a pretty good deal. $25

Ill second that the e5+ & 6+ are the best "non premium" balls out there by far.

Since I'm sure he losses quite a few golf balls so I'd say he gets some NXT Extremes from www.knetgolf.com .

Seriously. I mean, I like a new ball - but it's mostly psychological - I think - at my level. But still, I like a new ball that doesn't make me feel like I total cheapskate and gives me a little (unfounded!) confidence. So I look for things like the Titleist TP. I played with my brother recently - the guy who finally got me to take up this game after 40 years. He's a pilot for AA (so $ is not the issue with him) and he drives the ball 300+ yards. He finds it amusing that I obsess over equip even at the level I do which is mild compared to what goes on here Before heading up for our camping/golfing weekend, we stopped to buy him some golf balls. He asked for cheapest ball they had. They gave him a double dozen tube of Wilsons for like $13.99. He had the low score of the weekend with an 85 which isn't bad for a guy plays once or twice a year at best for the past 8 years... in his prime, he was probably a 5 handicapper and he never took it that seriously. Anyway, your friend? - at a 30 handicap, unless $ is not an issue - I wouldn't spend anything more than $10 for a dozen balls because I imagine he's still losing quite a few.

I had $ to waste when I was just starting, but I figured why. I lose about 10 balls a round ,the pricy ones look and feel the same to me, might as well put a cheap ball in the lake and not a pricy one. I love it when the 30+ buy the expensive balls, cause I find them all over my club. If you like a new ball great, now at my level I prefer a little nicer ball, but don't want to spend the 30$-50$ a dz. I would do just fine with the blue light special.
