I've been using Nike Mojos for a while now and I have been thinking of moving to a different ball. Before we go any further, let me say that I am a college guy that has been married for a month to the day so money is a little tight for me.

Feel is definately more important to me than distance. I know the more expensive balls are going to give more feels but there has to be something out there under 30 bucks that will give me more feel that the Mojos. I have been thinking of moving to a Callaway ball but I am not for sure which one to go with. I drive about 240 yards with a very cheap driver so I am not really worried about picking up distance.

I am actually fairly happy with the Mojos. I went to them after playing really cheap Cougars. Let me know what you think since I will probably go out and pick some balls up this weekend.

Yeah, I did Callaway's ball selector and that is what they recommended me use. That is what I am probably going to go with. Just wondering if anyone else has some suggestions. Brand doesn't really matter as long as it is a good ball. Basically looking for a good ball for the money.

If you are looking for something that feel a bit soft particularly when putting, is long and doesn't scuff up much then I don't think you can go past the precept laddie extreme for the price. The Srixon AD333 is also very similar.

the bridgestone e6 is a solid ball, but believe it or not the Top Flight D2 FEEL, really important FEEL only is a pretty nice ball. A friend of mine picked these up and was saying some great things about them and I just had to see for myself. For a mid level ball they are a good value, similar characteristics of balls in its category

I think I am going to try this list out to see which one I like the best:

Callaway Big Bertha
Callaway HX Hot
Nike Ignite
Srixon Tri-speed
Bridgestone E5 or E6

Obviously not going to go out and buy them all at one time, but I really like the idea of the lower priced three piece balls like the HX Hot, Tri-speed and the Ignite. I will see how it goes, thanks for all the help fellas. Any more suggestions would be great.

I played the HX hots for a while and then got Berthas 'cause I needed some balls and hots were not available. I liked the Berthas a little more, plus they were $5 cheaper. I also like dt so/lo's for the same money. $20 dz. Good luck

Well, I went to Target on my lunch break and they had the Nike Ignites on clearance for 12 bucks so I picked up a dozen. I haven't heard much on the boards about them but I really like the Mojo's and this should be a step up from them. I'm not willing to go to a real expensive ball. To many of mine end up in the woods to spend a lot of money on them.

I actually picked up a dozen used Top Flites from Tartet last week and shot the lowest round of my life (87 which is 15 over on my course) and made my first birdie. I will let you guys know how I like the Ignites.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
