Have you tried the Kirkland, Vice or Sneed golfballs?

All three balls have been discussed and they are in threads which are a simple search.

Oh, welcome to TST... ;-)

Sorry, @TerryG, I was in a store and multitasking earlier. I linked to a thread about Vice balls up above. I haven't played any of the 3 you mentioned, but the Kirkland is getting solid reviews from members of this site. You might want to take a look a Snell golf balls too. Seems like Kirkland is definitely best bang for the buck though.  

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I have played Snell Get Sum and the Kirkland.   There is a difference between them.  I found the cheaper Snell  not to my liking.   I do like the Kirkland.   I have not played the Vice.

One ball I'm eager to try is the Volvik.

I found a Vice ball and played it for a few holes.  It wasn't bad, but... then again, I've been playing the TaylorMade Project (a) ball for almost 3 years now, so... I don't exactly use a high end ball.  

I received a sleeve of the Volvik Vivid balls (orange, matte finish) in the mail and took them out for a round.  I didn't mind the ball, but it seemed shorter off the tee to me... and I didn't like the finish.  It made it extremely difficult to keep the ball clean.  I did, however, like the look of the orange ball against the sky when in flight.  

I'm looking forward to trying a Kirkland ball, but at this point, I have 13+ dozen new Project (a) balls upstairs after receiving a bunch for Christmas and purchasing a bunch using some tournament winnings earlier in the year, so... I may not be buying any balls for awhile.

The Snell My Tour Ball is my favorite ball, by far. It's so, so good. 

I like Volvik a lot, too. The ball itself looks kind of weird (almost like it has a very thin shell, or something) but it feels good on the face.

I agree, I really like the Snell: My Tour Ball. I didn't like Volvik much.

I tested out some volviks. I can't seem to find the reviews anymore. Might have been lost when we transferred over to the new website?

Anyway the ultra white ones, can't recall the name, were nice.

A third vote for the Snell MTB, it has been my game ball for the last year.

I can vouch for the Kirkland and Vice being nice balls as well.

I had a MTB forever this year that played pretty nice. I just didn't care for the finish on the ball but it didn't affect the play. Played very short stints with the Vice ball, lost right away and really didn't get to see it's performance. Had 2 Volvic S3's, was able to play one for a while and had reasonable performance. I don't think you can go too wrong with any of them.

Thanks everyone for the responses.  I wonder if Kirkland will ever become more widely available.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
