Wilson Staff FG Tour. Great ball. Soft feel, long off the driver, great around the greens and putting is very pleasant. Also using TM TP Red or Callaway I(s). Callaway website says I should try their I(z) so may have to give it a shot.
But the wilson I think is going o be my ball of choice when the TP reds run out.

I play anything i find. I don't buy golf balls. They're the most over-priced piece of equipment.

I agree but as with most items research and demand drives price up.

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

I like the Callaway HX One and HX Bite and prefer the feel of a 3 piece ball. Having said that I find a lot of golf balls, go through them and play the ones that are still in good condition, regardless of make.

I've been playing a lot of Callaway golf balls since I tried out a box of HXHot last year. Right now I have played the Warbird and the tour(ix). I find that if I need a bit more distance, I'll pull out the Warbird. When I need to stop it on the green, I use the tour(ix). League nights, the greens are hard so I play the tour(ix). However, after reading a post on the website, I'm interested in trying out the new TaylorMade Penta's. In 2002, TaylorMade started making a two-piece ball and I love it. Then, they stopped making them and I was disappointed. I'm intrigued how this new ball will perform.

On a side note, I have tried the Titleist NXT and Pro V1x and I do not like them. Based on how I play they do not work for me.

I play either Slazenger RAW Distance or Nike Power Distance. Normally Slazenger, because Dick's Sporting Goods almost always has them at buy 2 get 1 free 15 packs. I lose too many balls to warrant spending the money on super expensive tour balls. I'm a bogey golfer anyway.

I've been trying out different balls, so it was hard to narrow it to just one. Top-Flite would have been my choice, but a Nike ball is the next in line for my experimentation, so I voted Nike.

Driver: Nike Dymo2 SQ

Wilson FG Tour is my ball of choice now. Awesome and very good value. Have a bunch of Bridgestone 330-RX which'll be my Winter ball until they run out. Like the Bridgestone 330-RXS a lot too and will probably be an alternative to the FG Tour. Currently using up some Srixon Z-URC which, although a bit hard feeling for me, is performing much better in the warm weather than it ever did in the Winter.

I have been playing the Bridgestone B330-S for almost 2 years now. I bought about 20 sleeves of all different kinds of balls and swapped them out over the course of the season. I found the B330-S to be the best balance of distance and feel for me. Not the longest, not the best spin, but a good combo. However, Im hearing great things about the TM Penta, so I may give them a try later this season.

Majority of the time its a Pro V1 or V1X. But I've been playing others lately to see if I can get something else working for me.

Been trying different balls, still got 20 or so Pro V1 I bought a long time ago. I've ordered a bunch of the Bridgestone E6. The E series from Bridgestone are solid balls that I have enjoyed a lot.

Purchased a box of FG Tours yesterday. I tried the C:25s and they were actually too long - distance control issues. Still using the Eco Cores too. I like knowing my ball will be in the fairway when I get there - people see "Wilson . . . " think of volleyballs, then keep moving.

    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
    • Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.   
    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
