Im testing a bunch of golf balls right now...

I started out playing the Mojo because it was cheap. And as my game got better and I stopped losing 18 balls a round I started to buy better golf balls. I do not like the super soft golf balls, I like the soft to medium golf balls.
I tend to buy a bunch of balls at one time and sorta rotate them thru and see if I find something I really like, or ill change it depending on the course (wind, green condition, hills, etc...)

I have played almost all the Bridgestone models, and I have to say I do not dislike any of them. In fact the "e" series ball is great for the growing golfer. The B330 is definitely a competitor in the golf ball race!
I tried the ProV1 & ProV1X, its a nice ball, but I don't see what all the hype is about.
Im a big Nike fan, obviously, so I was playing the Nike ONE Black for a while, then I tried the Nike One Tour & TourD when it came out. I wasn't all that impressed.
I grabbed the Srixon Zstar a while back and I think I like this ball best, so far. For some reason it feels soft, but heavier and more solid than the other "soft spin" balls out there. Good $$$ value too. This is the ball I have been playing mostly for the last 6 months.
Right now I have a dozen of the Srixon Trispeed Tour balls and I haven't tried them yet.
I got a sleeve of 3 TaylorMade Penta's and this is a really good ball. If it weren't for the price I might play this one.
Recently my buddy turned me on to the Callaway "i" series ball... This is a very nice ball as well. Some of them are too soft for my taste, but overall its a solid ball for sure!

In my Ogio bag.

Titleist 910D2 driver, Adams irons & hybrid, Callaway wedges & a Nike Method putter.

And a yellow ball.

I've just finished a dozen Wilson Staff FG tour's, I got them because they were cheap but they were very good. I'm about to start on the nike tour D (got these with my pro shop vouchers because nike are the only balls my pro shop stock). Otherwise I would buy the Callaway tour ix or Srixon Z Star x, but to be honest there isn't a bad ball you can buy at this price point, Bridgestone B330's are great, Titleist Pro v's are too. The only premium ball I have yet to try is the Penta, which I've heard nothing but good things about.

Srixon Z star yellow. I decided to treat myself to a box as I would normally play found or cheaper balls. I like the feel of these and ease to see them so much I may keep playing them. I only lost 1 the last 2 rounds and I can live with that.

In my cart bag, Driver 909D Comp,Fairway Diablo Edge 3W, Hybrid TWS 18 &23, Irons Diablo Edge 5-Pw, Wedges X Tour vintage 50 X Forged chrome 56 and 64,Putter Rossa Daytona 1, Ball Z Star yellow or a Tri Speed

At the moment, I'm playing some Nike PD Soft. I like them well enough. Ironically, I've been trying out different balls recently and picked up a cheap box of Top Flite XL7000 Soft just to have something to play that day and I liked them more than anything I'd played up to that point. That includes any Titleist ball. I just "clicked" with those balls and hit them SO well. I was very surprised at how much I liked them simply because they are under $13 for 15 balls. After I found how much I liked those Top Flites I bought a dozen of the PD Softs. I wanted to see if I could get the same feel with a little more distance. I've played only one round with the Nike balls, but, so far, I really like them a lot.

B330 is closest to the Pro V1x. The B330s ("s" is supposed to designate spin) to the Pro V1. B330rx doesn't seem to have a counterpart in the Titleist stable.

Anything top flite. I played with them in high school. I would never trade anything else. It's the same ball that got me a 36 two years ago.

Maybe if there is a tournament, I would use Titleist balls.

Trying the Bridgestone e6' s now and really like them. Have some Bridgestone 330-RX's coming. Played a Bridgestone 330-S the other day and really liked it. Bridgestone balls have a really nice feel to them.

My game has improved since I switched to the Bridgestone E6. Its more predictable for me around the green because of its low spin on short pitches and chips. I find it easier to estimate the roll out with the E6 than I could the check with a Penata or Pro V. I've always preferred to let the ball run a bit on those shots because it has a better chance of running onto the hole. The E6 can still be stopped on a dime with full mid to short iron from good lies.

I've been playing Precept Laddie's and I really like them. I find them softer to hit and easier to compress than a lot of other golf balls. Also - they are fun to make jokes about which, I find, helps me out as much as anything else.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
