Should I use these high ends golf balls?

[AbsoluteTruths]

A friend of mine who is a personal trainer to several semi-pro and pro golfers gave me a shag

bag that one of them was discarding when he left for Japan. It contains several lightly used

balls.

I normally use Titleist DT Solo.

In the bag are :

Titleist Pro V1X

Callaway Chrome + and Diabalo

Last time I was on a launch monitor my swing speed was in the high 70s.

Try them out on par 3s and see if you like / benefit from the spin around the greens. Otherwise shelve them until you feel like your game can benefit from them. But I love those soft cover balls for second shot onwards. I just do my best to not lose them on tee shots since they may spin a bit more / you care if you lose one in the woods. Last thing: the Diablo, if memory serves, is the "one of these thing is not like the others". It's a distance ball akin to the Titleists NXT, I think. The Diablo Tour was a pretty good ball though. It'd be the one I think you'd find most similar to the Solo.

As a 28 hcp, you should use the cheapest balls you can find. Free is good! :beer:

lol, that sounds like me.

I don't buy balls, I find more than I lose and play those.  I probably have a 100 ball surplus, running out of Bridgestone E-6's though.  Maybe I'll start working through the Titleist's next.

Play whatever you want. Who cares but you? I play Prov1x because they're the best ball on earth. Period. To each his own. You'll get cornballs defending Walmart brand like its their religion here. There's a strange obsession with goofy curmudgeons hating on Prov1 and Scotty Cameron here, it's actually comical. Who cares? If your handicap is 28, I suggest just playing what you like, the quality of the ball is inconsequential to your skill at this point to be honest. Just have fun and play what you like.

As you play more, you'll know when you should play better balls. Until then, round is good. When you get better, you'll need a good ball to hit and stick to greens. It will also become apparent that you need to play the same type of ball so you'll know how it reacts for your shots.

Well I used the Titleist ProV1x on the par 3s. It did not make a difference. I parred one, bogeyed two, and double bogied the other. But I

had fun. See detail on my swing thread.

It's not the ball in this stage of my improvement just like some of you said.

Like you, Solos are my bread and butter ball. I like ProV's ok and would play them if they were free. I don't think they would help or hurt your game.  I think the Diablo might have a harder feel than the Solo.

The good thing about ProV's is when you get good enough that you know the difference, you don't lose as many, LOL!

If someone gave me a bag of lighly used ProV's, I would play them.
