I am getting some new balls tomorrow before I play, and I was wondering what I should get.
Selection of Brands include:
-Titleist
-Nike
-Callaway
-Srixon
-Top Flight
-Noodle

What should I try??? I am thinking the Srixon or the Callaway.....

If I ever get happy with myself for finishing 12th or 15th, someone needs to put my clubs away and I'll take up tiddlywinks.

I like the Titleist NXT Tour. Swing speed? Slice? Hook?

Go find a bridgestone golf ball fitting day, they will give you all the numbers you would wnat, spin rate launch angle, ect.. Then just go and ask which ball does what and find one you think fits you the best.

That depends on what you want from the golf ball. Your question is nebulous in that you are simply asking for which brand to choose rather than which ball will fit your swing.

I have used ProV1's for the last couple of years, I get a lot of balls in my back yard from the course out back, so I have all varieties in my garage, and I usually bag them up in specific brands and give them to my buddies that like that brand. One buddy in particular kept saying to me that I was crazy for giving him all the Bridgestone balls I got and I should try them, so the next time we went out I tried them and I shot one of my best rounds, a 79, then I go out 4 days later and shoot another 79. I was using the Bridgestone e6+.
I am out for a round tomorrow on a course I have never played before, so not sure whether to play the Prov1 or the e6+.

With all due respect; with your hc I'd buy the most inexpensive ball cuz I doubt you will decern any differences at this point of your game.

TRY VISION golf balls, they are bright as hell and you CANNOT LOOSE THEM, they often get compared to Bridegsone ad330s? just google em

PROV1S $45 ?
LATEST NIKE DRIVER $$$$ HUNDREDS

FINDING YOUR BALL IN THE ROUGH AS ITS SO BRIGHT = PRICELESS!

I have to disagree with you on this point. The OP's handicap is about the same as mine and I can tell the difference between a cheaply made ball and a good, inexpensive ball just by the way it feels when I hit it. Someone who has been playing a short period of time might not discern any difference but those of us who have been at it a few years certainly can.

Well then you have an excellent sense of feel compared to many, many others. However my point for buying inexpensive balls was b/c he, and probably you also, have little ball control and most likely loose at least a sleeve of balls per round. So it mite be much more economical to buy inexpensive balls. I know that for myself at that level I was just hitting the ball and I didn't know how to spin it or shape the ball intentionally so Top Flights were great at that time for me.

It's really pointless to generalize. I am currently at 20.3 and I played the last 3 rounds with a single ball (didn't lose it). I appreciate the soft ball for putting and the spin for holding greens. I got 4 birdies over those three rounds and the ball surely helped.

BTW, it is a Wilson FG Tour - a great ball that is available at a good discounted price because it's just not selling.

agreed, that is until you know the difference, then you'll be playing a Titleist the rest of your golfing days

I have never seen such slavish devotion to advertising propaganda as what issues from your keyboard.

So all of the PGA TOur players using Callaway are Srixon, Nike and others are playing the wrong ball, are they? Mickelson, Woods, Clark...etc. etc. all wrong.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.
