So I went to a club fitter today and found out that my club head speed is around 110-120 and that my beginner driver is crap but my question is what ball should I be using?  I'm still a 20 handicap player with a slice and some* straight drives that are bombs.  I hit irons very good but that doesn't help when my drive is in the woods/water/rough and I like to have feel around the greens.  Also I can't afford a ProV1 or any crap like that cuz I'm only 16 and ain't got the dough.  Help please.

If you're looking for Titleist, the NXT series is sub $30, but the Topflite Gamer V2 is a good inexpensive ball as Fozcycle says.

Yeah I've heard all good stuff about the Gamer V2.  Lately I've tried the Nike Mojo and the Top Flite D2 straight and they were both good but I think my swing speed is a little to fast for the 2 piece.  I like the sound of going to a 3 piece.

At a 20 handicap, I suggest going with an inexpensive, distance ball (something in the $10-$25 a dozen range).  At this point, your ballstriking isnt consistent enough to get everything out of a premium ball, so youre better off with a more low-spin ball.

Granted, it wont check up on the greens as much, but right now youre not at a level where your short irons and wedges are precise enough to need that.

    • Okay, I had these two assumptions wrong. That would be my premise for hitting driver. I promise I'm not high.. lol. Fair enough.

    • Wider than most fairways, yes (thus why I don't hit 100% of my fairways), but most holes I play have 65+ yds between hazards (or areas where I can't easily advance my ball to nGIR) so the majority of the time when I hit driver I am able to find it and have a reasonable look at the green.  That would not necessarily be the case on this hole, especially because a mishit driver brings those left trees into play.   PGA Tour players average 2.82 strokes to hole out from 40yds in the bunker and 3.15 strokes to hole out from 60yds in the bunker.  2.82 strokes to hole out from the fairway is like 110yds and 3.15 strokes to hole out from the fairway is like 190yds.  Now granted I would only have that 50yd bunker shot 1/3 of the time, but it's still a VERY difficult shot especially for amateurs.   Haha trust me I love chasing birdies, but I'm averaging 2.78 birdies per round this year so that's not my issue, I need to make less bogies (5.2 per round) and doubles (0.42 per round) 
    • Vishal, what are you doing here? PGA Tour players are about 65 yards wide, often 70. Huh? A 50-yard bunker shot is one of the toughest shots in golf. Are you okay? 🤣
    • Day 608, July 3, 2024 Played 18 holes with a student. White tees. Wasn't really working on my stuff, but hit some really good shots. Drove 16 to the pin-high rough 3" from the fringe. Hit some tremendous long irons.
