Hi,

Im looking for a new ball. Im not bothered about how far it goes (but it would be an added extra!), I would prefer it to be soft and so i could get quite a bit of spin around the greens. I wouldnt want to go over the £20 mark ($40 for you americans!) because im 14 and i simply cant afford it!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
The Minzuno Man

Try the Pinnacle Exception balls.

They are 24 balls/24 bucks. (USD) And they have a soft feel to them but are very responsive.

+1 D2 Feel works well for me. And they were highly rated on Golf Digest's Hot List.

I've never played the Top Flite D2 but it is certainly a good looking ball. There are a few low handicappers at my club that like the Callaway HX Hot.

This is an easy one. The Titleist ProV Practice balls. They are normal ProV's with tiny little blemishes or misprints. The blemishes dont affect the way the ball plays. So it's just like a ProV but it says practice on it. They should only be about $30-$35. 15 dollars cheaper than normal ones. The balls are brand new and have never been played.

Maxfli Fire... on sale almost everyplace for $13 for 12

NXT tour always solid choice $25-30 for 12

Burner TP... $25 for 12

D2's are supposed to be fantastic for price. I am going to try them soon, but at the same time I'll feel weird using a Rock-Flite.

In my opinion the Callaway HX Hots have no spin, and don't get any better distance than the above balls.

I can't really tell from the website - what's the real difference in e5 vs. e6? At the Bridgestone Challenge, I was told to give the e6s a try - and I did, and I like them. But I'm wondering a bit what the e5s are. And the difference in the two and their + models, too, I guess.
