I still play with the Taylor Made Red, at the same time trying other 3-piece balls. Currently, I'm trying out the Tommy Armour 3-piece ball and find it does pretty good on drives and around the green. The cover is harder so it doesn't get beat up so easily, like the TM red. They cost around $15 a dozen, though I've seen it advertised on sale for $10.

ProV1x ... because I use zip groove wedges and it is well matched to these and the greens I play (firm and fast.) Another plus is this ball seems to penetrate better off the driver. I like the ProV1 but sometimes they spin just too much -- I hate coming back off a green on front pins. I guess we will all have to reevaluate when the new grooves work their way onto our clubs.

I use the B330-s after a long search trying lots of balls including pro v1 i setteled with these, great feel off the putter check up nicely on chips and are plenty long enough, add to that great durability and im not going to change soon. I did try a callawy tour ix last time i was out with a mate (swapped a b330-s with him) and was very inpressed but for now ill stick with bridgestone.

I switched to the Wilson Staff ZIP recently and have had great results. Long off the tee, holds on the greens, soft on the putter.

I play whatever high spinning tour ball I can get for a deal. When I find them cheap I will buy 4 dozen at a time so they last a few months. I don't lose many balls but my wedges tend to cut the covers. ProV1 and HX Tour56 are usually what I buy. I play at a high end private course and you would be amazed at how many ProV1 you can find as you play. I've got a whole shag bag filled with ProV balls that I use for practice.

i use the Precept Laddie Extreme. They have a great soft feel to them (i cant tell the difference between the laddie x's and the pro-v or bridgestones), and they are cheap ($19.99 for 2 dozen)

srixon z-urs is only 50 NZD while pro v1 is 99 NZD in new zealand and i know pro v1 is better but not twice as good.

Usually whatever is on sale.

I'm too new and lose too many balls to worry about super high performance.

In my bag:
Driver: HiBore XLS (9.5*, stiff, gold shaft)
Irons: FP II 4-GW
Wedges: mp R series 56/13 588DSG 60*
Putter: Unitized TiempoBag: ADIDAS Velocity


I prefer pro v1 but play z-urs because its 10 bucks cheaper and you get a free glove.

how do you get a signature because it is NOT in my user cp, do you have to become like a full member or something

    • Day 238: played 18. Back 9 was pretty good after a rough front 9. Then worked a bit after the round at the range, just firming up some feels. 
    • Day 6 (15 Mar 25) - Played in local course’s 2man captain’s choice St Patrick’s Day tournament.  Great day of working closely with my teammate on course management process.  
    • Certainly BUY used so many near new Drivers in Good condition that will suit ...which IMHO the shaft is the most important part if you want to buy new get a shaft new that suits you then find the head you like the feel off 
    • I found being part of a Great Golf Club renewed my love for the game and comps ..previously at my other club I was just a player with novice player mates or solo .and that was hard to progress and drive the passion when my job was very restrictive to playing in good weather and friends couldn't play as much...  that become a grind at times and gave up the game for couple years..but now work for myself and have clear goals and new GC with serious players ongoing comps and great course I can pretty much always get on .. some great Golfing friends I made playing in the weekly comps ..I'm loving it..  Still get down on my game and can walk off gutted ..but thats the game we wouldn't love the good round if we never had bad rounds So for me maybe dropping the pressure of the HC grind and more so enjoy playing comps with others serious on the game ...understand the game is hard ,enjoy the good times and your game will develop ... 
    • Big week of Golf nursing golfing elbow ....played local amazing course Arrowtown tuesday ..had a tidy 81 for what I felt wasn't my best Golf in some wet windy conditions found the greens tough to read and gave away many shots... three birdies Played my local GC wed STB mens comp... very rough whole game not happy 89 just felt tired made so many mistakes max 4-holes I played well the rest rubbish to woeful ... Friday played south of my local Alexandra in a 4ball with my mates (we have a comp same partners over the year) played pretty well after not even hitting my 3wood past the ladies tee on the 1st hole ...very slow greens to what I usually played so we made gimmes within 2ft ,,,, couple birdies .. Wasn't going play ..but wife wasn't stressed so joined into the SAT Medal comp ..teed off early .. had some brilliant holes and shots some of my best .. birdied 3x ..78 for the day gave me a 7th in SNR division. putting let me down had a 4x putt on 3rd hole PAR3 ... along with 6+ three putts ... what could have been  Now looking over the above I'm sure many thinking go sort ya putting ya idot .. but couple weeks previously I played three comps .. out of those three I only had one 3x putt my best 24 putts over a round  ... but my driver off the tee was rubbish ..
