Finding a new ball to settle on??

[brodu]

I've tried alot of different golf balls, I personally like and can hit Noodle balls the best, they are only like 15 dollars for a dozen.

My current favs are as follows:

1) Pro V1x
2) Callaway Tour ix (v close to #1)
3) Pro V1
4) TM Black (v good ball)

Do you guys play courses where there is water on pretty much every hole though?? Its tough for me to play Pro v1 when there is water and tight fairways on EVERY hole at my new course....

Let's just say I was less than thrilled when I lost no fewer than 2 Tour ix and a Pro V1x on a recent round, adding $12 to the greens fees. I was snap hooking my drives and didn't have any cheap balls. I now carry shag balls for if and when things blow up on the course. Those balls include scuffed Pro V1s, a couple Professionals, and other softer found balls like Nike and Bridgestone.

I did find 2 pro v1s on the course to help offset that cost and two of them were the 2009 model, which means they couldn't have been sitting there that long.

I also don't golf a lot anymore so that means a dozen balls usually lasts me a season here in Michigan. I golf maybe once a week, if that.

I went to Dick's and my local pro shop yesterday to buy the TF Gamer but both stores were sold out.

I've been playing the Callaway Tour ix balls and they get the job done.

in case you are still looking sports authority is still selling the Taylor Made TP Red or Black LDP balls 2 boxes for $55, normal price for one is $39.99 there at least thats what the price tag said when i went last night. i believe that offer ends on the 29th of August.

good luck!

I used to play nothing but NXT Tours. I took a sleeve of Srixon Trispeed's, 3 piece ball, $25 a dozen, out for a round, and loved them. Decided to venture into their line of golf balls and found myself finding a new favorite in a 2 piece ball from them called the AD333. They're phasing it out now to come out with an updated version so you can get 2 dozen for $25. Great bargain. Give Srixon a shot!

I agree - I like Srixon a lot. I've tried both the AD333 and the Soft Feel (I have a sleeve of Trispeed that I hope to try out this weekend).

I liked both, and after I'm done "experimenting" with different balls, the Soft Feel may be my ball of choice - it's at the top of the list at the moment.

I read through the replies and was surprised to see nobody yet mention the Nike One Tour's. I used to play Pro1x's and switched to the NXT tours to save some money. I liked them off the tee, but wanted more spin and feel from my irons and just gave the nike one tours a try, they were buy one get one at the golf place. Man I love them, feels great off the tee better than prov1's imo and good feel and decent spin with the short irons.

My advice in ball shopping for you is to start from the green and work your way to the tee. Buy a sleeve of every ball you want to try out and putt with it (narrow them down) then chip/pitch/bump and run (narrow them down) then 30-50 yard shots (narrow them down) and so forth. Keep in mind that a couple of yards off the tee don't justify not being able to have the ball work in your favor when it really counts. That is my opinion on finding a ball that suits your game.

^^^ This makes sense, lol.

I wish I just had the money to try this, I just use any ball I can find.
