Are you "ball loyal" during a round?

I only use Trispeed Tours, i love em and wont change. i used some zstar tour yellows the other month and still have 6 left on the shelf, I liked them but they burn a hole too big in my pocket.

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. "Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

I have a weird hang up about balls when I play and I know it can't make that big a difference, but I pop a new sleeve almost every time I walk onto the first tee. I'll play those 3 balls until they're all lost or until the round ends. If I'm playing badly enough to lose 3, I'll pull from my old/found balls to finish up. If the three balls survive, I'll drop them into the top pocket and pull them first should I need a new ball. The only time I changed things up was when I was playing some Srixon Z's, I played through each sleeve until they were all lost. They're more expensive than my usual balls, and I really wanted to see if they were a lot better. (They were) but I went to a Bridgestone ball fitting last week and figured I try their recommendation for a while, so I'l be playing E6's for the rest of this year more than likely.

No, I am not ball loyal and wil change during my round. I play everthing from tour level balls to Laddie Extrems, however I will not play Top Flight or Callaway Warbirds, just too hard IMO. I haven't found that the ball makes that big, if any difference in my scoring. Since most of my chipping is dead handed there is little difference between the balls on the green for me.

I'll usually pick out 3 balls out of my bag, sometimes all the same brand but not always.  Ill play those 3 until i lose them or they get too dirty or cut or scuffed(i.e. cart path) to keep using if there isnt a ball washer(many of the courses i play have few or none)  nearby.    I like those intech beta ti balls, about 50 cents each new and they go just as far as when i hit a $3 pro v1 or other premium ball that I find. It helps to have clean balls, they do go farther and fly straighter.

I am now. I bought 90 brand new Gamer v2s off of ebay for $85 and will only keep gamer V2s in my bag. I'll do that until I run out of these and gamer V3s come out. I've given away the other balls I find. Anyone know how much lostgolfballs et al will pay for the used balls we find?

Probably be better off just selling them yourself in say 24 or 36 ball lots,perhaps separating them by brand.  Im sure there may be players on this forum who might buy them, I think ive seen balls for sale a few times in the marketplace.  The only negative thing about buying and selling golf balls is the shipping costs.   If nothing else, sell them back to a local course that would eliminate the need to ship them.

You'll only find Titleist Pro V1's in my bag. By using the same ball for every shot(Including practice) I'm able have a consistent feel and step up to every shot with confidence that my ball will perform the way I expect it to.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
