My guess would be that Bridgestone and Srixon are 2 and 3 but maybe not in that order. Callaway would be 4 and Taylor Made would be a distant 5th. From what I have seen, many Taylor Made staffers don't even play their ball.

I have done no research or studies, this is just my guess.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

I'm guessing there probably isn't a clear #2 ball. The others are probably used fairly evenly.

Driver:  the search continues
Fairway Wood:  Ping G25 3W Tour stiff
Hybrid:  Snake Eyes Q4U 19*, 23*
Irons:  Ping G25 5-UW w/CFS X-flex  (on order)
Wedges:  685BX black 56*      Putter:  Wilson Staff 8882

Of the 2 dozen or so balls I've found on courses in the past couple of months, Nike and Top Flite are by far the most common.

Doesn't translate into tour play of course, but I'd think Nike would be up there.

Precept would count as Bridgestone, I guess. They're the same company.

I would have to say callaway as a number two and nike as three on tour. Usually the bigger the company, the more balls it has on tour, with the exception of TaylorMade.

In my stand bag:

909F3 15* with a stock Diamana Blue

X-forged ('07), 3-PW with Project X 6.0 CG12, 53/11, and 58* with DSG Red X2, 33"All with Lamkin Crossline Full Cord. (except the putter of...

Here's a link to an article at golf.com. It shows what's in the bag of all of the winning golfers so far this year. It seems like taylormade is # 2, but I could be wrong.

That changed dramatically with the induction of their new Red and black TP balls, now a ton of their staffers and some that aren't on staff play them.

2. Taylormade
3. Callaway
4. Srixon
5. Nike
6. Bridgestone

Reason for Taylormade being numero dos is because of all of their staff. The only players I know who don't use TM's ball is Mike Weir, and Kenny Perry. Add to this list if you know any more.

Do you mean on tour or overall sales? I would guess that Noodles or Top Flites would be #2 in the real world. Despite the popularity of $4 dollar balls on golf forums, I'm sure the majority of people play the cheap stuff, especially in hard times.

On tour, the most recent data suggests TM is #2, but I think that has something to do with the fact that half of the PGA has contracts with TM, and now that they have decent premium balls, they are being played more.

i would think Callaway would make the #2 spot going by numbers, but i would think that Bridgestone would be making a HUGE climb in the amateur world over the past year

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
