The ball I play and the ball I prefer are 2 different things. Typically I play Bridgestone e5+, e7+, or Wilson Zip depending on weather and course conditions. I play the e7+ in wind or when the course is dry because it's a lower trajectory ball that is longer than the other balls. The e5+ gets used in most other conditions because it's a higher trajectory ball and has urethane cover which spins more than most cheap balls. In cold weather I play the Wilson Zip because it has such a low compression, but doesn't balloon like a lot of low compression balls. I like these balls because they are all less than $30, but still perform well.

As for the ball I prefer, it would be any number of the more expensive models($40+). My favorite would probably be the Bridgestone B330-S or Callaway HX Tour 56 or even the Srixon Z-URS. I like these balls because they are softer than some of the tour quality golf balls. I have yet to try the Bridgestone B330-RX, but based on my readings I think I would like it as well (my swing is not 'tour' speed, so I think it would be a good ball for me). I really wish I could afford to play the more expensive balls as I do think there is a difference in them (at least some of them), but besides the initial cost, they also tend to scuff and damage easier, which makes them even more expensive than the cheaper balls I currently play.

I have used the Callaway HX tour for the last 2 years. Used the ix last year. I really like the ball. The spin around the greens is the main reason I like it, it seems to be the right amount for me. It also feels soft to me, which is important. Distance does not seem to be an issue. Last year I was a little inconsistent, but I was still able to launch one every now and then. Overall a great ball. I love to tinker with my equipment, so this year I am considering other balls, specifically the Bridgestone b330 rx, Prov1x and the Callaway HX bite. I rarely lose a ball, but my frugal side would love to spend less that $40 for a box(hence the HX Hot Bite). On the other hand, I really love the feel of the premium balls. For some reason I have not jumped on the Prov bandwagon, maybe this year. For along time I have not liked to look down at a ball that says Titleist. I have no idea why, just don't like the look if that makes any sense. On the flipside, I always like seeing the Callaway logo or a nike swoosh. This game does strange things to your mind.
