I played all kinds of balls until I finally settled on Top Flite D2 Feels.

I've only broken 80 once this year - using one of these:

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

I played a round the other day to compare the ProV1 to the Callaway HX Tour. The Callaways's are on sale at Sam's for $25.11 so I bought a dozen.

They are, for me, much better than the ProV1. But, remember I am a mid to low 80's shooter. The HX Tour is as long as the Maxfli Revolution Distance I normally play. To me, the Maxfli is a great ball since it's long and bites like crazy. A good shot with my X-18s will shave a little off the cover so they aren't rock hard like most balls with Distance in the name.

Still, the Callway impressed me and I'm going to pick up another dozen next time I go to Sams.

I tried the top-flite gamer today and did not like them as much as the top-flite d2 feel. Think I will start using the D2 feels from now on. I love how they stick to the green!!

Pinnacle Gold Fx Soft.

I really enjoy putting with this ball...as a serial three-putter, can't complain with all the ridiculously long one-putts I've been making with this ball!!

I want to try the Top Flite D2 and Gamer soon...been hearing some good stuff about them...

Used the Callaway Tour iX this past Saturday for the first time. Played very consistently with a ProV1x, at least IMO. Greens were super soft after rain Tues-Thurs, so hard to tell about roll, spin, etc, but hopefully the courses here will harden up a bit this week and I can test 'em again Saturday (playing in a 2-man tourney) and I still have the whole dozen!

One thing I noticed about the Callaway premium balls is they give pretty good distance to people with average swing speeds. I have very average swing speed but can still hit them 230-240.

I would rather hit one of these 240 and stop them quickly on the green than hit the Callaway Warbird 265 and have it run through the green. Especially since the distance balls don't seem to generate much more carry from my irons.

Still, the HX Tour is by far my favorite golf ball since I can get them for $25 a dozen at Sam's club.

Each time my wife goes there I have her pick up another dozen so I can build up an inventory and start playing them exclusively.

Otherwise, I also play the Maxfil Revolution Distance and Callaway Warbird depending on course condition. When I made my first post to this thread I forgot to mention the Warbird.

I used to use the Callaway HX hot bite and liked the feel of them. Trouble was they would be shredded to bits after a few holes. Switched to the Bridgestone Tour B330 now and get a similar result without the wear and tear.

I am trying to figure this out, it seems I need an oldfart ball so I am trying DTs, Srixon Soft Feel and MOJOs; but I want to try the Burner balls too. One thing I want is a low ball trajectory; how can I hope the evil monkey will toss it back in the fairway if I go over the tree?

Played the Taylor Made TP Red LDP today for the first time. It was a good ball overall, but I was hoping it would lower my trajectory a little more. It spun well off my irons, stopping a 5i and 6i in one hop and spinning back a foot or two on everything else I hit. Felt soft off the putter and didn't get torn up at all.

I liked it a lot, especially for $25/doz. If they went back up to $45, I'd probably just be buying Pro V1x again.

    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact. 
    • Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits. 
    • Only if they call you Poindexter!
    • For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
