I play the Noodle Long & Soft Plus. Last year I got fitted for clubs and this was the ball that reacted best with my swing. They're pretty inexpensive ($19/doz) and putt like a ProV

Callaway warbirds when im playing alone, because I got 10 boxes cheap and dont mind losing them when im trying high risk shots.

When im playing match play and betting, I go with the Prov1's, because I love the feel and and really trust them to stop on the green.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)

I like the ProV1 and ProV1x just like everybody else, but I bought a dozen Srixon Z-Stars and loved them.

I got a sleeve of the Bridgestone B330 from somebody that plays here, and those things are sweet. It may all be in my head, but I really feel like I hit better with those balls.

My new ball is Top Flite Gamers. Love them. For my game, they play pretty close to the v1x, and for a 3 dollar difference a ball, I can take a little harder cover. However I am starting to get a huge collection of premiums, v1, v1x, and recently someone around my home course has been leaving some nike one blacks around. Did recently try some z-star's and loved the way they played. Would probably be my ball of choice if price wasn't a factor.

Why? Because they are cheap and I like the clicky sound they make off my putter face.

Currently: Titliest DT Roll
Hopefully future: Bridgestone B330-RX

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

I have just graduated from playing from a random assortment of recycled balls to a single brand & type. Since the recycled balls were about $.30 each, I compromised on price and now have Nike Power Distance Soft (green box) for which I paid $18 for a dozen at Golfsmith. If they work out I will find a cheaper source. I played my first round with one of the PD Softs on Monday and it played quite well when it is hit properly. I actually played the same single ball for all 13 holes (weather got too hot to finish). It has a couple of very slight scuffs, but still quite playable. At least I have taken whatever variables the random balls created out of my play. But this means I am running out of excuses.....

I could have used a high spin ball tonight. It has been really dry here over the last week and every shot that hit the green bounced and roll off the back, even if it landed on the front. Can I change my vote?
