Try these out Bridgestone e6 or e7 or B-330RX or Pinnacle Gold Precision.
To me they are soft around the green and feel good off irons but give me the distance I like.
I won a long drive hole at recent scramble with the 330RX of 308 yards 2 weeks ago =)

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.

Actually I have pretty good ball control and I rarely lose a golf ball, let alone a sleeve, during any given round of golf. There IS a difference in balls and generalizations that higher handicap players should just play any cheap ball on the market because they're not good anyway serve no useful purpose. Despite what you happen to think, many of us higher handicappers DO know the diffrerence between balls in terms of feel, control, and distance.

My Implements of Destruction (carried in a Hoofer Lite bag):

DRIVER: Big Bertha Diablo 10 degree draw, Aldila regular flex
FAIRWAY WOODS: G2 14 degree 3 wood & 17 degree 5 wood

I've played Callaway HX Bite, Top-Flight 5000XL, and Wilson Soft-Core balls. I couldn't tell the difference between them, but this is my first year of golfing. I would prefer a ball with a softer feel on the greens, but I don't want to spend a whole lot of money on them right now. I prefer playing the Wilson balls because they're under $0.75 a ball right now. I have a ton of lost and found balls that are better quality, but I don't like using them because I hate being the guy that doesn't know what ball he is using when asked.

But when I do get better, I would like to stick with Callaway simply because I like the way the hexagon dimples look.

Driver: 4DX SuperMag 10.5º
Fairway Wood: 4DX 3-Wood
Hybrids: 5DX 3, 4
Irons: 4DX Pro 5-PW
Wedges: Arc 52º, 54º, VR 58ºPutter(s): SeeMore FGP OriginalBag: Org.14 Xtreme

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

I never said Callaway, Srixon, or Nike were wrong, you're reading into something that just isn't there, lol

I would advise pinnacle gold fx long just for the extra yardage off the tee. Contrary to the previous post they will make a difference with your Handicap simply because they wil get you closer to the green on approach maybe 5 yards maybe 10. The balls cost 1$ a pc at Walmart. Ive hit them farther on average than any other ball, but they are hard to stop on the green when your 60 yards and in. If you get better which I hope you do, you will change your preference Im sure.

Whatever you do, don't blame the ball.

If you want a cheap premium ball, try Taylormade TP LDP RED.

My Clubs
Driver - Nike SUMO 13* R flex
Wood - Cobra 5 wood 18* R flex
3-PW hybrids/irons - Mizuno MX-950 R flex
Wedge - Mizuno MX-950 51* Wedge - Cleveland CG14 56* 14*Putter - RifeBall - Taylormade TP LDP RED

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

Ahhh ya, well for you sean_miller I recommend a nice cork centered, rubber band wound, leather covered ball, to go with your persimmon 2w .... this would be a perfect fit for your major lack of golfing knowledge and skills, lol

Based on your description, I think I've hit that ball - it had "Pro V1" stamped on it.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod

      I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!
