I pick up any mid range and up balls I find, and throw them in the practice pail.

I don't pick up balls I find for three reasons: 1) if its a nice shiny ball, it could very well be that its owner is going to come looking for it soon; and 2) I've got a shag bag full of old balls; 3) I don't like playing different balls for consistency purposes.

I don't care if someone else picks up my lost balls, but I do care if they pickup my stray balls.  Happened to me twice last week.  Once wasn't even stray, it was in my own fairway.

I play Penta TP5's and the 20XI, though the Penta is my main ball. Both are notoriously easy to tear up. But I love the penta, its the best I found for my game so far. I could not care less about durability. If I destroyed 4 balls a round, I would still use the Penta TP. Just all around feels great.

I know I can get a full round out of a ProV1, but I have never really liked the Titleist balls, or their feel off anything but wedges.

like I said, everything but my Penta's and ProV1's were gifts. I keep ProV1's on hand, but for the most part, they are my back yard practice ball.

Maybe I need new clubs - I don't recall ever taking a Penta out of play because of a torn cover. Usually they'd last a round or two before I spray one off the planet.

I don't pick up anything I find on the course.  I hate when people pick up my strays.


How do you feel about ex-girlfriends? I found a near brand new ProV1 in my range bucket today.... I kept that. I didn't have the heart to hit it out with the range rocks. Is that okay?

In my experience, ProV1 covers are far more prone to scuffing than Penta's.

You would be the only person I have heard say that, as the main complaint with the Penta has always been durability.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

We must have received the same shipment of Pentas. I thought they were very durable for a tour ball, but maybe I got a bad batch.

I've heard the same thing about Pentas.  I have used TP Black and they are pretty good too.  2008 / 2010 Titleist NXT Tour scuff up pretty easily but the Callaway Tour I(s) are a bit better.   I haven't tried the HEX Black Tour yet, hopefully Wednesday.
