I suggest Nike PD Soft (the green box). They fly nice, yet feel great around the green and on approach shots. They go for around ~$17 a box which you cant hate either. No reason to spend more with what this ball gives you.

I tried out the Titleist DT roll today and hated it. I had no control it would just keep rolling, usually off the fairway and then I'd lose it in rough about 4 feet off the fairway because I think I'm going blind.

The callaway hex balls are great, but a little pricey.

Bridgestone e6 is pretty nice too and in that price range. I dont play these regularly but was impressed when I did one round.

Those are my recommendations, I dont spend too much on balls because its just like throwing a $20 bill in the water hazard for me.

Top Flite D2 feel, hands down the best "budget" ball ever!

I actually gamed them today for the entire round, and man, my approach shots (the ones that hit the green anyways ) would hit the green and come back about 6 inches to a foot.... All my ball marks on the green were in front of the ball!

15 bucks for a box of 15 cant be beat...

My driver SUCKED ass today and I lost like 2 sleeves of balls, but didnt mind so much.... If they were 4 dollar Pro V1's I'd be pissed.....

Try them out, Im sure youll love them.

    • Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow. 
    • Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills. 
    • That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness. 
    • Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.    
    • Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
