I have been looking for a ball that suits me since I started playing. I have used many different ones, some I liked, and some I didn't. I am quite a high handicapper, so I didn't want to spend a fortune, and I didn't want to buy a ball that was to good for me. I did some research and found listed the Nike PD Soft. I had used other Nike balls and quite liked them, so I bought 20 pearl grade balls on ebay for £11 ($16). The first 18 holes I used them on I was a little unsure, but possibly because I was having a bad day anyway. Since then I have grown to love the ball. It's reasonably forgiving, feels good off of the club face, and has given me a few extra yards. It may not be the ball for low handicappers, but I would strongly recommend it for the average golfer. Oh, and who ever said it feels like rock, I can only think you are topping it, LOL

People calling golf balls they don't like "rocks" is a trope at this point. ProV1s have been described as rocks by some fans of its competitors, and that's crazy talk (like, yeah, they're a bit clicky compared to the softest balls, but no one would confuse them with a Top Flite XL). Anyway, the PD Soft is a perfectly fine ball, especially for when you aren't needing A-1 performance (whether because it's leaf season or winter; or because your swing isn't dialed in). It's an excellent value ball, like the Titleist DT Solo (RIP).

I tried a dozen of the PD Soft this past season and they were fine but I got more distance from and like the feel of the Softfli or 2015 SuperSoft better - just my preference.    For a similar cost you can get the 3 piece Gamer Soft which is a great performing ball, but give the PD Softs a try - they're good balls.

Actually, I just remembered that your are in Australia and may have trouble getting the Softfli or Gamer, sorry about that.

I used PD Softs for a spell before I found I could get decent used balls much cheaper. My swing is hardly good enough to give a really solid performance report, but I liked the feel. When I hit one well it was like smashing butter with a hockey stick.
