That's what I'm going to do this year once this snow gets out of here, bought a dozen each of Bridgestone e6 tour yellow, Srixon Q-star tour yellow, Nike One Vapor speed (on sale) and Top Flite D2+ Feel. Hopefully one of these is my ball with my swing speed of 85-95.

I would add/recommend Top Flite Gamer V2's.  it is more comparable than the D2+ Feel to the other balls mentioned.

Having used the D2+ feel, I can recommend it based on 1$/ball price point. It's a great ball for iron shots, pretty good off the tee, and it feels brilliant off every club. It doesn't have urethane spin, which applies to partial shots, but on full shots you can stop it with ease. As long as you make a full enough swing to compress it, it spins just the right amount. On pitches and chips within 30 yards or so, expect the ball to release a bit unless you play it high, but you could get it to check up if you're skilled enough.

I'd prefer the Gamer or a firmer tour ball myself, but I'd use these balls again.

Gamers are $10 per dozen.  Less if you buy larger quantities.

I would like to know exactly where; they're 20$ a dozen online and in stores here. I got a 40$/36 deal, but I would consider buying 4 dozen at that price... I have to try out the B330, Srixon Zx, and maybe the Nike 20xix since I haven't tried the Gamer since I added 15mph clubhead speed.

And don't say Ebay.

    • I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel? 
    • So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.
    • I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.

    • Why?  You would never be waiting on me.  I am one of the fastest players you will ever run into on the golf course.  I am extremely fit and almost always the first to the green and the first to the next tee box.  When I play with my 16 year old step son who is a 3 handicap, he tells me to slow down.  Also,  what does it take me?  40 seconds round trip to walk off 30 yards?  (which is the max I walk off)  I like to have a look at the break around the hole which helps me to hole out chips which I did for birdie from 27 yards just the other day.  I also do this while waiting on my playing partners to catch up to me so you need not worry about being irritated, I can pretty much guarantee you that you could not keep up with me on the golf course.  🙂
