Worst balls you've played?

[ApocG10]

Whats the worst ball you've played this year?

For me, it was a sale on Tommy Armour (I think thats how its spelled) TI-Spin balls. They were on sale at Walmart for 5$ for 15. I picked up 4 boxes, and a couple of days later I tried them. I couldn't hit a decent shot with them at all, and after the third hole I switched back to Callaway Warbirds. The rest of the round went pretty well with the warbirds.

Fast forward to home. I have a large field in back of my house, long enough for me to hit drives. So I started hitting these balls in back of the house, figuring it was just me. I have a large inventory of range balls, so i made sure to keep them seperate to get a few people to try them.

Everyone hates them, they have no distance and dont fly straight.

Im all for cheap balls (I bought 10 boxes of warbirds for 100$, great balls for a high handicap like mine), but I wouldnt take those ones for free.

Pinnacle Gold Distance I found in a ditch and turned to when my game deserted me (didn't want to loose another expensive B330) I can only describe it as a painted rock.

Nitro Blaster golf balls. I got a free sleeve at a golf show. They hit long but had really bad feel and hurt when coming off wedges or putter.

The ones I lose in the water or O.B.
But really those nitro blasters are terrible they were not worth the price and I got them for free.

My own...

Back during the "cold" winter months I tried a tip and picked up some Wilson Zips....theory being the softness would yield great results in the cold.

They didn't feel good at all off the putter and came up 1/2 club short off my irons and wedges.


The best ball that I've tried this year has been the ProV1. Wow, big revelation there, right. I simply never had the confidence in my game to spend this kinda dough on a premium pill like this. I finally couldn't resist and wanted to see what all the hype was about. OMG....can you say backspin! I had some wild results. Driver distance wasn't harmed either. I just don't have the $$$$ to play these balls all the time, though.

Tommy Armor ball I found on the course. Had 0 distance and 0 feel.

The original Rock Flite. Lol.

Taylormade/Maxfli Noodle+. Worst golfball Ive ever played. Hard as a rock, very clicky and very little spin.

[Lefty39]

The maxfli powermax golf ball, just awful feel, and the distance wasn't that great and John Daly was on the cover of the box. Tisk tisk.

The Tommy Armour balls are awful...totally agree with that one being the worst. One of the hardest balls I've ever hit. Yuck.

Srixon Z Urc.... hated that ball!!! also did not like the b330rx

Tried playing with some Wilson XDuty US Open balls. Worst balls I've hit with a golf club, but then again using tennis balls may not be desirable.

Wow if those are the worst balls you've played man you live in luxury. Last year when I started, I was playing these "Ultra" golf balls and they were hard as rocks
