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.

      Going to a Friendsgiving tomorrow and I am bringing a no-bake cheesecake. I make the crust too big, but I think it turned out good. The filling is really good.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By iacas ·

      I would say your back nine is the second nine you play that day. It's part of what makes getting some of those holes tougher. Or, if 18 holes are played pretty often, out of A, B, and C, and you often play A and C, A is the front and C is the back, regardless of the order you play them in. That way not birdieing C #7 isn't overcome by birdieing the easier A #7 on a day you played it C-A instead of A-C. But, at the end of the day, nobody really cares except yourself.

      Day 128: played 9. Nice little even 9, with 2 birdies and 2 bogeys.

      @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.
