I just came back from a demo day, and I got a whole ton of different golf balls to try (sleeves as promotional)

I was wondering for some opinions on a "everyday" ball and a "tournament" ball.

The balls I have right now (all the ones i have) are:

Callaway HX Hot Bite
Top Flite Gamer
Top Flite D2
Nike One Tour + Tour D
^^ those were ones from the demo day
(these are ones that I have in my bag)
Titlist ProVs
Bridgestone E5/E6
Titlist NXT's
Titelist DT Roll's / Carry

Yeah, I have a lot... so I was wondering what you guys think should be right for me (shooting around low-mid 80s now)... not too expensive but good. Thanks!

Your everyday ball should be your tournament ball, period. The only caveat being, if you play in a scramble and can use some distance ball off the tee.

Can't go wrong with the topflite gamer for an everyday ball. IMO the gamer is a superior low cost, high tech golf ball.

i agree, i'm a huge fan of the gamer. and at under 2 dollars a ball, its a great value for a three piece.

I've been reading a lot about the gamer recently and thinking about making a ball change. However, I've got 2 1/2 dozen noodles I gotta get through first, although a great ball for me. The gamer however, is a 3 piece ball which performs very well, very cheap. Hoping to pick up a couple to try them out.

I've dabbled with new balls lately and am well supplied with some NIKE One Vapors and Pro V1s. Both were experiments. Both have been really good.

Once my supply is gone, though, it's quite probable that I'll be going back to the Bridgestone E5+.....this ball simply gets is done just as well as the premium ones to me.....high spin and super distance.

I would go with the gamer because it is a 3 piece that is much cheaper than any nike or titleist balls.

I'm a big fan of the Bridgestone e series, I play the e6+ to reduce side spin. I think they are softer then the Titliest NXT Tour and cost less.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

    • Ahh the old classic "nobody agrees with me so I don't want to talk about it anymore"
    • @anaveragehacker, you’ve been ignorant this whole time and now you’re being disrespectful. Not a great combo. You asked what the rules were and we told you. You complained about them and we told you why they were the way they are. The “who is the committee?” Question has been answered a few times. Dave and I are Rules Officials and the other people replying know the rules far better than you, so the fact that we are all disagreeing with you should say something. this thread is going nowhere and your original question has been answered several times.
    • What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. You guys are so serious it kind of proves my point. Other sports make adjustments for  field conditions etc during lower level play. This isn’t life and death here, it’s sport. No need to keep arguing. I have my opinion and you have yours.
    • Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.
    • PGA Tour players weight shift to their lead foot way sooner and to a higher % than amateur. I would say it is something like close to 90% lead foot at impact for PGA Tour player. For Amateurs it could be under 50%. You need to get the weight transfer over more and sooner. You can't rely on the feeling of finishing on the lead foot as validation you did so.
