Best Golf Balls you have ever found at the Driving Range

[InternalGolf]

As we all know, Some people will accidently hit their ball from #1 into the driving range and the ball will get picked up by the cart that picks up the balls. I personally now check every ball I hit because I've found numerous balls in my driving range basket before. So, what is the best ball you've ever picked up while just hitting in the driving range.

Mine are

A titliest ball(don't know kind)
and
A Callaway HX Pearl

My course has two driving ranges. The first, near the clubhouse, usually has stray balls spill out onto #10 and 12 of Pioneer, as well as #18 of Willows. Of course, that goes the other way around as well. Stray range balls find the fairways and good balls end up in the driving range. Going up #18, a long par 5, I've put more than my share of balls into the range with my 3 wood. The other, out at Fox Run, occasionally has stray balls find their way down by the 9th green, usually near the sand trap or by the cart path.

I've found a lot of balls there. Mostly, it's crappier balls from hackers such as Top Flites and other no-namers (probably because said hackers can't even hit the ball properly anyway), but I've found the occasional Pro V1 in there or Callaway. Found a couple HX Tour's in there just about a week ago in fact.

i find a lot of Pro V1, about one or two per basket only ones i usually pocket

I've found both ProV1 and ProV1x, as well as the occasional Nike One. Anyone who hits driver further than 180 from the whites and hooks the balls is going to put it in the range. I find a non-range ball in almost every bucket, but rarely are they keepers.

The only balls I don't pocket are top flites and pinnacles. I will use any other type of ball.

Haven't found any Pro V1's at the range...but have a fair number found on the course.

Titelist NXT's I do get at the range as well as Callaway Warbirds & HX's, also a lot of Nikes but I don't care for those balls & just wack them back into the range.

Strangest thing, I actually found a black nike ball on Saturday. The whole ball is black, not white. I have never seen anything like it, it doesn't appear to be painted (like the yellow range balls), but made this way purposely.

The Range balls I use are Callaway balls and say "practice" on them so I think they were specially ordered but arn't that good.

The range balls at my range are Callaways anyway. Dont Find too many good ones but this topic made me remember a funny story:

A group of Chinese men were at the range one day a few stalls down and didnt speak much english. They had rented clubs and bought 5 boxes of brand new titleists to hit at the range. The guy beside me had to explain to them how they didnt need to use their own balls.

I've found a lot of ProV1's and some crappy other balls

[InternalGolf]

Lol, if they had hit 5 boxes of titleist into the driving range I woulda rolled on the ground in laughter.

I know that Nike was/is (not sure if it is still going on) doing a promotion, and if u found an all black ball, then you get to play a round with Tiger Woods. That may be one of those balls, did you keep it?

Also, I have found ALOT of TaylorMade's at my driving range, along with the occasional Pro V1/x and Nike One. Also I find Pinnacles, Top Flites, and other lower name brands, but I don't keep those
