Golf Ball Ranking by Everyday Golfers

[Single Length Irons Guy]

I mentioned on another thread that I thought Bridgestone was a second-tier golf ball brand (but it is still in my top 3), which was contrary to others' opinions -- so I started wondering -- what are everyone's top 3 golf ball brands? [ So that I can maybe change my mind when I see the results :) ]

OnCore, Titleist and Snell are brands I currently play.

Kick-X is not on your list, it's a very good ball.

I went Snell, Bridgestone, Titliest

I played Pro-V1x, Bridgestone B330, and Snell My Tour Ball. They are all equal in performance. I go with Snell because it's $10 cheaper per dozen :)

New Snell fan.  Been extremely impressed with the My Tour ball.  Feel like I get even better performance around the greens than I did with the ProV1.  Distance is about the same (if not slightly better) than with the other brands.  Incredible performance/value ball that you have to try if you are looking to save some $ on balls.

Ditto. Flipping the last two if it matters… they're all very very close.

[Wally Fairway]

Pro V1's
Velocity
NXT

My ball ranking has changed over the years. It used to be Titleist Pro V1, NXT S and has changed to:

Callaway Chrome Soft and Super Soft(winter)

Taylor Made

Srixon

[NJpatbee]

I chose Taylormade for the Project a and now defunct RBZ U, Top-Flite for their Gamer Soft, and Callaway for their Supersoft and Chrome Soft.  If I could I would write in I would for Maxfli for their U/3, U4, and Softfli.

Bridgestone E6 - I buy these

Callaway Chrome Soft -Don't buy these, have to find them and save for special occasions

Callaway Supersoft - I buy these

________________

Not in my top three but I play them a lot:

Titleist ProV1 or V1x - I find a lot of these.  I play them on my home course where I lose a lot of balls.  I wouldn't buy these either.

Snell My tour would be number one based on how good they are alone.  The fact that the price is so reasonable is a hell of a bonus. Bridgestone B330 would be my 2nd choice.  Main reason I had a hole in one with one of them also they are a decent price and have a good feel like the Snell's.  Third would be a Pro V1X they are very close to my first two choices.  They are a little on the expensive side to me.  Also they are so popular they are more likely to be picked up when I spray on into another fairway.

Snell MTB, Titleist ProV, 3rd is a toss up between the Callaway Chrome and TM Tour Preferred

True. But I have to tell you that I find an inordinate number of Pro V1's when searching for my errant ball. Certainly indicates their popularity. And some of the places I find them makes me wonder about the eyesight of whoever lost them. Spang out in the open! Of course, they were probably looking 50 yards farther down the hole. And I always take a good look around to make sure no one is coming to look for a ball so I don't take someone elses.

But, Pro V1's I do not buy. I love the way they feel, the sound they make, and how they fly, but I really don't have a fifty buck a dozen game anymore.

[Hacker James]

not in ranking, but just FYI. The Precept Laddie X are at Walmart with new packaging. Called Laddie Extreme. Still around $19.99 for 2 dozen. I believe they are the same.

I play them all.  But if I choose, I like the Callaway Chrome, and the Titleist NXT.   I have lots of PRO v's , which, as Buckeyebowman said, are plentiful attesting to their popularity and the Titleist relentless campaign. I am looking forward to finding a KSig brought back to Canada from a Snowbird.  Which is the quicker scenario to happen versus them being on the market.  I wont buy one either. lots on ebay though

No 'Kirkland' on the list?

I don't think that would really make sense.  It wasn't really their ball, it was an overrun European ball they happened to stamp their name on

[Vinsk]

I don't know the history of it. I've just read a lot of stuff about it being such a great ball...can't keep it in the shelves, etc....saw people on eBay selling them.

Basically, it was a fad. At an unsustainable price point.
