The Nike ONE Vapor is 29.99. It has extremely good control with solid distance. Bridgestone e6 and Titleist NXT are also really good.

You can get any of the Bridgestone E series for sub $30. Just choose the characteristics you want from your golf ball.

I tried the Top Flite Gamer awhile back and that was pretty decent as well. Only con's I noticed was a clicky feel off the putter face and durability wasn't so great. But a 3 piece ball with decent green spin for less than $20 is a good deal.

Some of the Nike balls are having sales as well. I noticed the Tour balls are $25 on GPP I believe. The Distance balls are less than $20 and are good balls as well.

Taylormade Burner LDP - decent around the green and good off the tee. 2 dozen for $45 is also a great deal.

Top-Flite Gamer would be my choice. Its a 3-piece ball with a urethane cover (so it spins like crazy) that goes for $20 a dozen.
Another good choice would be any of the Bridgestone E-Series balls. They go for about $25 a dozen and while they arent super spinny golfballs, they do perform well.

Try the Srixon Soft Feel. If you like a firmer ball, try the Srixon Trispeed. Both are in the $20-25 range.

Best I've ever tried was the ProV1-Practice balls. Same exact ball as the full price version only there may be a cosmetic blemish that you may not even be able to see.

Same for me, all the Wal-Mart's in my area have them for $27.50 a dozen, don't know how long that will last. TGW has them online for the same price.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

+1 for the TM Burner LDP. I have tried it against all the premiums, and, for my game right now, I don't see any reason to spend more. I generally hit the irons long but high. For most normal greens, even my 4 iron stops within a few feet. The lower irons stop within a a foot or so, or sometimes backup a foot.

It also seems to be a little more forgiving to the occasional extra sidespin I may impart on a drive! :D The misses off the fairway seem to me to be a little less severe.

They are also durable, at least for me.

Niether of the first two are good choices if you want a higher spinning ball.

Give the Bridgestone E5 a try and see what you think. Super ball.

E5 is ok, but it seems to spin waaaaay too much. More than a Pro V1 for me actually...

I'd say hands down NXT tour for a ball at 30 bucks...

I'd champion the Taylor Made Burner TP, Titleist NXT Tour and Bridgestone's E5. All excellent balls. I find the NXT Tour less durable than the other two but the spin is decent if not up there with the E5. Burner TP is probably my choice of the three for its feel; would be the E5 but I find it a bit too firm feeling for chips and putting.

Top Flight Gamer is an interesting one. Very cheap and spins a lot into greens....shreds like crazy though. Someone said it's a urethane cover? I don't think so...soft, thin ionomer I think.

Top Flite D2 Feel, Gamer, Srixon AD333, Bidgestone e5(+)

Best ball under $15 Top Flite D2 Feel
Best ball under $25 Bridgestone e5(+)

I think I prefer the D2 Feel over the Gamer due to better durability.

I like the higher ball flight of the Bridgestone e5(+) and Srixon AD333. Probably prefer the e5(+) due to better spin.

Haven't played the TP red or black, but they are $27 at Wmarts around here.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
