I buy Pro V1's off lostgolfballs.com...I'd honestly never pay retail for them, but when I can get them for $0.67 a piece, there's no reason not to.

I'm not picky. Honestly, I range between a scratch and a +3 and I'm not a good enough golfer for it to make a great deal of difference whether I play a good quality soft ball from company x or company y.

I can tell the difference between the Titleist ProV1 and Nike One Tour, but honestly... the extra 200 RPM of 9-iron spin (and the 3 feet of carry - with 2 feet less roll) or the extra 1 yard off the tee.... just doesn't matter to me

I sure as hell won't play one of the hard balls, but when comparing top-end balls between manufacturers, I've enjoyed playing with the Nike, Titleist, Srixon, Bridgestone, Calloway, etc.

I bought a bunch of Nike One Platinum and One Tour recently because I was able to pick up 5 dozen for less than $25 per dozen.

If I find a ProV1 in the woods, I'll happily play it if it's in good shape.

Driver: 905S 8* - Graffaloy Blue 65S Shaft (tipped 1" Short)

I play whatever decent balls I find on the course. There are plenty of nice ones in the woods or long grass on my course. I have had the same 2 brand new boxes of Nike balls in my basement for the last 4.5 years.

I can not believe that, another post said the same thing about Nike One's.

That's my favorite site now for practice balls.

Right now I'm playing with used Nike balls because...well everything I wear is Nike so I just thought it would be fitting. I do prefer the Platinum's over the sft2's; they just feel better to me off the club face and overall playability.

In my standbag:

SQ Dymo, 17* 4wood, Widebody UST stiff flex

I play the Wilson Staff 50/50 since I drive the ball out of bounds about twice a round. Can't beat $6 for a dozen of brand new golf balls. They are a bit soft but they do stop on approach shots. Slightly lacking in the spin department when greenside but again it's only $6...

Bridgestone E6+.

I have to sacrifice some distance, but the soft feel helps with my tendency to slice, and I like the way I can work the ball.

In my bag:
'07 Burner (10.5*) Driver
Unknown model 3 & 5 Woods (next to get replaced)
Rescue (21*) Hybrid
Di7 4i-GW 56/08 Oil Can Wedge Rossa Blade Putter NXT Tour Balls

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
