Titleist Velocity Alternatives?

[Largobuc]

Playing since June and have played all of the cheap balls (Wilson, Top Flite, Etc.) I started buying better balls, but used when I stopped losing 10 a round. Have hit numerous brands and really like the Velocity. I was wondering if there are comparable balls as I am ready to start buying new as I average losing 1 ball a round. Sometimes 3 others 0.

You can buy Velocities from other folks who have lost them. I've had good luck with this site.

Check out the Snell Get Sum, just as good (if not better), and half the price

Where are you seeing half the price? I see Titleist Velocity retailing for $26.99, and Get Sum retailing for $20.99.

Am I missing a discount for Snell?

Get Sum are $13 a dozen (actually $14, I was off) if you buy them in bulk (6 dozen).  Just like the MTB are $27 a dozen (vs. $32) if you buy them in bulk.

Yes, that is good to know! I started playing the Velocity's last year when a friend tried and recommended them. Man! I love that ball! Of course I'd have to try 1 dozen first. I started out with 2 sleeves of Velocity's.

For sure.  Snell has a sample pack as well, 2 sleeves Get Sum, 2 sleeves MTB.  It's nice they do that, so people can check them both out.

I just bought the sample pack myself. Wanted to buy the 6 pack but figured I will try them first.

Played the velocity a few months, changed for the bridgeston E6. Both are distance/forgiving balls.
The birdgestone it´s a little better but when i play both balls at a practice rounds there´s little to no difference.

I can relate. I like the Velocity also. However, I loaded up on a dozen Snell Get Sum balls and am looking forward to playing these this year if the weather ever lifts here. I expect good things, based on the reviews. Very similar construction on these two...

I feel for you man.  My cousin lives in N. Cal as well, so I've been staying updated.  Hope things start to clear up!

I like the E6-cant explain what it is compared to other balls I've tried-a nice weight comes to mind. Good distance, good control around the greens.

Yeah, this has been the worst winter I've ever experienced - and I have lived many years in Puget Sound area, for comparison. The courses here, some anyway, look like cow pastures because they've not been able to get the equipment out to mow them for fear they'll sink in the mud. If/when things start to dry out our courses should be really nice.

You can buy a dozen Titleist Surlyn X-Outs at Walmart for $9.86. I open the boxes and look for the ones that have the most Velocity balls but it's always a mix of the Velocity and NXT. I don't see many DT's in the there.

I am sticking with the Snell balls for now. loved them both from the tester pack so will stick with the cheaper ones for now so I reordered.
