Anyone else HATE trying and buying new balls?

I'm just glad my wife isn't interested in trying any new balls.

I hate when I have to buy balls

Yeah, it used to torment me, and then I made a command decision not to care about what ball I'm gaming until I'm at scratch. I like my Nike One Blacks, but now I buy them off lost golf ball sites, and the last year or so have been finding more balls than I lose on the course, so my current bag is a wierd mix of Nikes of all denominations,Titleists, Callaways, Maxfls, Dunlop Locos, Snakes Eyes, and off-label logo misfits. At one course I play there's a homeless guy sitting on a blanket selling little bags of balls $5 for 5 balls, and last week these two little girls were selling lemonade at the 17th tee and balls for $1 each -- Pro V1s, even.

I think it's all in my head....actually, I know it is
but isnt this game all about controllig what's between your ears?

If i am using a "no name ball" and I shoot a terrible round, I'll blame the ball when it's clearly something else...I know stupid

Picking a new ball just irritates me to no end
Golf Town has a sale on Pro V1 PRACTICE balls right now, $30/doz
maybe try those out one day..........or go back to my Nike One Platinum's s they r the same price - but I do notice a significant difference w them off the T (shorter and more driver spin)

these gamers have a tonne of spin, seriuosly like a Pro V - if they only could make them more durable

Playing off a 4 hcp you don't lose too many balls. I prob get 10 rounds out of a dozen balls and I bet you do too. At $45 a dozen, playing Pro V's only adds $1.50 to each round when compared to playing some other ball at $30 a dozen. Don't sweat the small stuff. Play the ball that's best for your game.

Needless to say, I'd advise the opposite to the high handicapper who goes through golf balls like potato chips.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way.

Yep, I now see this and agree w you 100% I played another 18 today and went through another 3 balls (wedges ate em up) w one lost - 4 balls I sold the last sleeve and a half to my buddy drove to Golf Town and bought a box of Pro V1's I have been trying to find another ball comparible just can't find one Can\t wait to game the Pro V again this week!

you give in too easy...

I agree in a sense... I usually don't loose a lot of balls, but it is entirely within the realm of possibility for me to loose 2-3 balls in a round... that's $6-10... and it pissed me off watching $3.50 hooking OB into a the deep dark forrest.

You can always get what I've been using.

i use the nitro blaster to (because i have the budget of a 14 year old) i tried the blasters out this weekend and they were better than the other ball i used to use which is the intech limbo also cheap. My dad uses top flites though

Looks like we use some of the same clubs too. :) Can't bea the clubs or balls for the price when you're a beginner. I actually play well with the Nitro Blasters. Dunno if a better ball would improve my game bu I'm not at the point where I need to be worrying about that yet. Everytime I lose a $0.34 ball I just shrug it off and take my drop.
