How many others are taking advantage of all the bargins out there on new balls? I started playing the TM Reds when they were 2 for 55 and still had 3 dz when Walmart put them on $21 each. I have since bought 3 more dozen.

Since I have a slower swing speed, I have a hard time compressing the TM when it gets cold (fall/winter) and found that I really like the D2 Feel in those conditions. The fact I picked up 30 balls for $20 was an added bonus.

A little more stocking up and I will be set for the next few seasons. Other than place like lostgolfballs, it does not get much better than this for new balls.

I have been playing ProVIs. Beyond lostgolfballs.com it is hard to find killer deals. (LBGs is a good source, I have now bought from them twice and AAAAA balls are like new)

Last time I ordered from them I bought a dozen Nike One Tours. I played them the last few rounds and like them. On Ebay it seems like there are some great deals on brand new in box Nike One Tour and Tour D. I picked up a good supply of them on Ebay for $21 a dozen brand new including shipping!

I picked up the Nike Tour D balls as well. I was playing the One Tour and honestly I didn't expect much difference since I'm one of those "its just a ball" type of guy...... boy was I wrong. I can feel the Tour D soft, it spins a lot less, and it fits my game a lot better. I'm a believer.

I don't mean to hijack the OP...but I am trying to decide which to go with. Haven't hit either the Tour or Tour D, so not sure. I've played the Nike One Platinum and LOVED it. I know the Tour is suppose to be like the Platinum. But, I have a pretty slow swing speed and every-now-and-then a slice off the tee with my driver....knowing that...which ball do think would better fit my game? I don't care about distance differences; feel is more important to me. But....I don't want either ball to enhance any slice that pops its head up from time to time..... which ball do think?

Again.....sorry to sidetrack from original post....

The only "bargins" (and I use that very loosely) I have found are the 2 dozen for $60 Nike Tour balls and clerance ($22 a box vs regular price of $27) Bridgestone E6+ balls at Golfsmith and GolfGalaxy. I don't buy much on line, so I don't hit up LostGolfBalls or other fav sites..... But it seems like I never see any significant sales or regular price differences between the big boxes places like Golfsmith, GolfGalaxy, Dicks Sporting Goods, Sports Authority, Target, Walmart, etc. They all seem to have EXACTLY the same prices. It's kind of frusterating, actually.

What I do keep my eye out for are the $5 or $10 off the purchase or $X amount or the 10% off $X amount coupons and use those opportunities to stock up on balls.

Yeah seems like it is tough to get real deals on balls especially Titleist. With MAP policies. Even on ebay you don't find ProVIs at "real" deals. That is why I was surprised when I came across the Nike One Tour at a decent price on ebay from high rated sellers. Nike must be a little looser with their distribution.

I have a pretty slow swing as well. I just feel the Tour b gives more distance and it spins a lot less. Works perfect for my game. I think the tour ball is for a low handicap player.

Ebay has a lot of great deals on balls. I picked up 6 dozen for 130 bucks. Im good for the next year or so.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.

      Day 562, May 17, 2024 Spent a LOT of time on GEARS stuff today, so while waiting for imports, exports, and all manner of things, I did some rehearsals in the mirror and camera in my basement.

      Day 16 (17 May 24) - Plans to play a local course with a good friend fell through, got with my son to play Minnesott.  Turned out to be a great day of golf - as we were playing behind the Friday Men's group, pace was steady but not rushed or dreadfully slow.  Had a solid day of ball striking - managing 11 of 14 fairways hit, 8 GIR and 5 nGIR, 27 putts (including a hole out chip in from just off the green to save par with the 56deg wedge).  Shot a new personal best of 76 (39 front / 37 back) from the gold tees (just over 5,500 yds).   Was a good day and my son had a decent day for him as well with an 88.
