I'm over expensive balls!

[JaredSS]

So, I was needing some balls and did the smart thing and found some online fairly cheap(Callaway Tour I) and ordered them. Meanwhile, I wanted to play some golf and needed some balls, so I went to Wal-Mart and decided to buy some cheap-o's since my good balls were coming. Anyways, I bought some Wilson Profiles($12/dozen). I usually buy Tour I's or Bridgestone E5+, or some other ball from the 25-35 $/dozen range.
To say I was impressed with the Wilson's would be an understatement. I shot my best round of the year(78) and these balls did everything I would want. Hit far, plenty of spin, soft around the greens, etc.
I said all of that to say, I'm over expensive balls!!

I hear ya! But, if you still wanna play some more expensive alternatives, check out COSTCO.com LINK

They've some some pretty good deals on two dozen packs etc...

lostgolfballs.com. i play AAAA and can barely notice the difference. you can tour balls for $12/doz or so if you're willing to get the 2008 model. i will never buy new balls again.

Wilson Profiles are great balls for their price.

Wilson makes some really good balls - they always have.

Wow! Those are some pretty crazy deals on balls. I think I might be making a large ball purchase in the near future.

I regularly pay about $18/doz and never more. They are some good balls in that range like the Srixon Soft Feel and the Top Flight Gamer V2.

Another fan of the Wilson Profiles. I think they are great balls for the price.

About a month ago I bought a couple dozen Wilson Maximum balls. They cost $9 a dozen and actually arent all that bad. They obviously dont spin like a tour ball will, but for $9 a dozen you cant expect much.

I started playing the top flight gamer v2's this year and love'em!

[mlf16507]

Try Wilson Staff Zip Core if you can find them. I was paying about $11.00 dz online last year for a Great 3 piece ball. Both great distance and feel around the greens. The same ball for 2010 is call C:25. Expect to pay more for a while. Wilson has always a good ball ,but bad sales.

Yup, there is no reason a 10 handicap like myself should be playing expensive balls. I've been playing the Top Flight Gamer v2 as well. These balls have gotten great reviews, I just don't like the emblem! Haven't had a chance to play the Wilson's, maybe I'll grab a sleeve next time through the golf store.

Get the $20 Hunter bags from Wal-Mart. There are sixty in a bag and they are full of Bridgestones, Siraxon, Pinnacle, and Titliest balls...

Srixon soft feels are great balls. Just picked up some to go with my e6 balls. Very simular feel to them.

I would not recommend that, since you get a lot of different balls. It doesn't matter as much what type of ball you play as long as you play it well and use the same all the time. It will give you some predictability on the distance, spin and feel.

[Cuzziebro]

Totally agree, Taylor Made Red or Black for $29.99 a box....all good!

You can still play "expensive balls" if buy them used thru lostgolfballs.com or ebay. I get my pro V1s 50-60% off retail price and they look brand new.

I hit a terrible shot on #12 today and dunked a Wilson Eco Core into the water. Dammit - there went 87 cents down the drain!
