I love reading old threads like this and seeing what people said almost 4 years ago. Interesting that the one ball that stood the test of time was the ProV1.

This question actually has several possible answers.

1. Priceless...I'm a little suprised it took 15 posts before someone actually made a non-golf ball comment.

2. $40 + I normally use ProV1's but I get them free. My wife's uncle is a barber and trades haircuts for golf balls with a guy that picks them up at a few courses. He then gives them to me when he gets ProV's.

3. $20-30 If I'm buying them, it's in this range. Usually NXT Tours, DT Solos or Nike Juice.

I just bought 36 pro v1's for about a buck per ball from lostgolfballs.com via ebay. They are in AAA condition and look great. I bought them for chipping practice but they are very course playable. After getting these, it will hard to pay $4/ball from now on.

My club pro sells them to me at his cost, which is a bonus.

Wow!!! Where are you buying those? Maybe you should stop buying them from wherever you are IMMEDIATELY and go to any other store that sells golf balls. You will find them for much cheaper.

My wife says if I don't stop playing golf so much, my balls won't be worth much to her....lol

I have a friend that collects balls and hooks me up with some Pro-Vs and the like all the time. However, I usually hit whatever is the least expensive as I'm still learning. I can usually pick up a set (12-18) for about $20 at Acadamy.

I play Srixon Z-URS most of the time. In the dead of summer, when the greens get a little harder and faster, I play Z-URCs for the extra spin. I think both are 39.99/dozen.

hey leek i thought the urs srixon had more short iron spin?

Nope. Just like the Prov1x spins more than the Prov1, the Z-URC spins more than the Z-URS.

The problem for me with the Z-URC and the Prov1x is if the greens are receptive at all, I can spin them back off the green. When the greens are rock hard and you can't stop the ball, I use those.

What do you think about the NXT Tour? Cause I thought tons of players use those balls but you guys don't seem to play them.
And when I would have to choose between the V1 and V1x.. What's the difference?

Not at all, that guy is Swedish, so he's paying a normal price. But the dollar isn't worth too much anymore and I guess he just put the amount in dollars so you guys didn't have to sort out how much it actually is. Same thing here in Belgium, that's why I started ordering my clubs in the US ;)

    • Day 187: 6/27/24 Putting practice on a 3’ 1” wide ruler. Slow motion swings with a PW.
    • Those look good.
    • I hit a bad tee shot on hole 7, but made a stupid recovery.  There was the easy punch out into the fairway and have about 150 in. Then there was to hit a low overdraw that stayed in this alley of trees that could run the ball up near the green. I was 185 yards into the green. I took my 5 iron and laced a low draw to about 15 yards short of the green. Off a pretty tight light as well. I was really proud of this shot. The ball didn't get more than 15-Ft off the ground for about 160 yards. 
    • Trying to describe the swings tonight in comparison to the better swigs on the range.  1. Not hanging out on the trail side as long as I need. Even though it was a slight push cut, the best struck ball was the 7 iron on hole 9. nGIR from 185 yards, like 8 yards off center of green from 185 yards, so like a 4% leave, not too shabby. Took me long enough to exaggerate this feel. 🙄 I finally was able to get an up and down for par. Short game feels average, but I can't buy a putt right now. I am hitting decent putts. Good weight. Just nothing going in outside of 5-FT.  2. Downswings were not the good kind where I get separation with the hands from my body. It was a lot of dipping the body and keeping elbow bend. When I hit a lot of big pushes, I know this is happening. It tends to be the pattern, especially when I struggle to turn good. Things just dip way to the inside. Just struggled with this tonight. I think it was probably because I didn't get the pause feel correct.  3. Wedges were really good. SW, GW, and PW are the best clubs right now to feel a good swing. I am just able to really feel the club stop short of A4, pause it, and then rip it. I had 138 yards shot into a par 3, and I took my PW. I felt like I kept the swing at like A2.5, and just crushed it to 138 yards. Like, ball landed 4-FT right of the pin, then spun back 25-FT off the green. Kind of a stupid green, like 5% slope back to front.  Current good feels.  1. Swing length to A3.  2. Gain separation between my body and hands in the downswing.  3. Somehow add turning into this? This really my biggest struggle. There are three outcomes right now. First, I turn and don't get my hands down well. Second, I get my hands down and it feels like I do not turn at all. Third, I sync up both and crush the ball.
