Your Favourtie Golf Ball brand

[erik]

Just out of interest, what is your favourite brand of golf ball? I do not really have a personal favourite, I will try any, although, besides "TA 2 ING", and "OPOW" versions, I find it difficult to hit Nike Golf balls.

So, which is your favourite?

[Rafcin]

Maxfli BlackMax, Nike TA2SPN and Black One.
With higher handicap I'd recommend less spin ball - Titleist NXT for example or (if you like them fancy) ProV1X.

Titleist Pro V1x. I've been playing Titelist since 93' and have gone from:

Balata
Professional
Pro V1
Pro V1x

I tried the Maxfli Revolutions for about 2 weeks and they spun like crazy. Went right back to the Titelists and haven't even thought about switching.

Pro V1x. Need the distance.

I like the Precept U-tri Tour best.. they feel real soft on and around the greens, hard to cut, rated longer off the driver than ProV1x and cost $10 a dozen less..

But I really don't score any better with a three piece ball over a cheaper two piece.

"Independent golf ball ratings"
rate the following as the top 4 longest off the driver

Top Flight, Infinity rating of 75
Nike, power distance rating of 70
Precept, U-tri tour rating of 60
Titlest, ProV1x rating of 55

all other balls rate 50 or under.
Driver Distance Rating: The rating assigned to the golf ball based upon a 100 point scale as derived from an average of the golf ball’s driver distance data collected by a human tester with a swing speed of 100 MPH on a launch monitor system. 5 points on the scale represents 1.5 yards difference in distance. The higher the rating, the longer the ball. An indication of the golf ball's driver distance performance.

[Rafcin]

Pro V1x. Need the distance.

I don't buy the hype. Any of the "top end" balls are very close to each other in distance. V1x has feels too hard on the green for me, I don't see no distance loss going with Blackmax, One black, HX tour... IMHO that is.

Callaway hx tours. I love this ball in the wind. I miss the softer feel of the pro v, but right now its the hx. I just glommed a dozen of the black max off of ebay for $20.00, and am hoping that it performs like the hx with a slightly softer feel.

[Rafcin]

...I just glommed a dozen of the black max off of ebay for $20.00...

You're kidding me. I paid $30 a dz (that includes shipping)

. Lucky dog. I think you'll enjoy it if you like HX and ProV1.

[Rafcin]

I like the Precept U-tri Tour best.. they feel real soft on and around the greens..

The only complaint I had about U-tri was the same as B330's. The metalic "click" sound off the putter, like a ping-pong ball would make. Other than that - both bridgestone(precept) products are pretty good.

I couldnt believe it! I'd forgotten all about the bid until i got an alert from ebay that i'd won the auction. I've heard a lot of great things about the max and couldnt believe that i won at that price. Over the years, maxfli has been my brand of choice. Its just that every time i fall in love with one of their brands....they quit making the damn things. I still miss the revolutions and the elites!

callaway hx red, just don't like spending 40-50 bucks on balls when they dont make much difference for me

[Thrash13]

Top Flite Infinity and Maxfli Noodle. Hey, they can be purchased at Wal-Mart and are only about $20. That is good enough for me, as I never really cared about the kind of golf ball I hit. I'm not good enough to tell the difference anyway.

I have had the desire to buy some Maxfli Blackmax, however, at my local proshop just to say I did.

[Donald MacKenzie]

I have to go with Callaway. The HX Tour has been very solid for me over the past year-plus. And I just had the chance to try the new HX Tour 56, which should be out soon. It might even be a better ball for me. (Watch the site for a "first look" review soon.)

I really like the HX aerodynamics. Great trajectory, and really bores through the wind. I like the ProV1 on a calm day, but I have more confidence in the HX Tour at this point when the wind is up.

I have been playing the Calley Black but recently played the Black Max and must say I am really impressed with it.It is as long and maybe longer than the Calley really holds the green and seems to have less side spin than the Calley so I brought 2 dozen and am switching for now but soon the 56 ball will be here sooooooooo!

[aceadair]

TITLEIST PROV1... no doubt

[muskegman]

If I could afford them, I'd play ProV1's all the time as they feel great, handle wind well, spin like a mother, and go a long way when you hit em right. But I generally use a Maxfli Noodle or a Nike TA2 Spin. I bought a bunch of the Nike's on discount last fall and I've a box and a few left from that. The Nike checks up great and feels like butter. They do scuff easily. I basically look for a discount "spin" ball.

Peace.

I have never noticed that, but them my putter has a brass and non-metalic insert, so maybe that keeps it quiet.. Matter of fact even using cheap Top Flite balls that feel like rocks, my putter doesn't sound bad.

I've always played Maxfli. I started with the DDH II and now play the Black Max
