I am not good enough to play the premium balls.  Have tried and they don't improve my game at all.  Being retired, I have settled at a specific price range of under $25/dozen.  Tried them all, and being a senior, I like the Callaway SuperSoft.

Different balls for different folks.  Whenever Golf Digest posts their Hot List spin chart, I pay attention!

If you spend about 2 dollars more per dozen, buy Small My Tour Ball in bulk (6-dozen). The best premium golf ball for the price.

We still get the AD333 over here and i have always loved that ball. Still got a dozen left. I get very jealous of you guys in the states as you always seem to get really interesting low cost premium style balls that we never get.

Looked at Cut Golf and the balls look really good. Vice do balls here and they have so 2 piece at £13 or so.

I really like the Top Flite Gamer or Gamer Tour.  Less than $20 a dozen and they perform pretty well.  Through my own extensive "testing", I've bounced them off cart path, trees, rocks, etc. and if you can find them, they hold up.  They seem to perform almost as well as the Taylormade's TPx I play in the summer and have about the same distance.

Maxfli U/Fli Speed is available at Dick's for 2 Dozen/ $45. Have not used them so I don't know how well they stand up as far as durability is concerned. Maybe someone who has played this ball for a while could reply. I am considering picking up a couple dozen for my son.

    • I discussed it today but can call back and re-confirm.  I would love to be wrong on that point.
    • There are plenty of amazing things people are doing every single day, but if other people don't care about it, nobody is going to notice. LPGA is not popular that popular, so despite the great achievement, is not getting any attention and is going to be forgotten very soon. On the other side, if tiger farts louder than normal we are definitively going to know about it because tiger is popular.    
    • @StuM when I called the course a couple of months ago they said you can mention that you want to add an extra night to the hotel when you book the package through them and the people who are in charge of the stay and play can handle it, did you ask them about that?
    • Though start, bad design. For me.. I would tee it up and hit the biggest club face in the bag that don't airmail the green. Also hit a fade that is a lot easier for me to hit up on the air. 180/190.. it should be a high cut with 3 Wood with a tee 1 inch above the turf.  
    • I'm on the side of thinking that something is not right here and should be reviewed. Let say that their course rating is pretty low, so their index is higher than it should be. But if they always play at their home course they are probably going to play bad away from home so it should even that advantage out or at least lower it down.  Also you can say that they are amazing players under pressure and very skilled in match play format, but at the end of the day variance and luck is always going to play a big role between 2 players of similar handicap. Let's assume that player A have 75% chance of winning a match over player B that only have 25%, there is no way that a player's skill in match play can make such a difference in a match outcome but I prefer to use a number that is hard to argue. (For me.. 60/40, or 65/35 at most) The odds of winning 21 straight matches with that  generous odds are less than 1% (or 1 in 420). Is this proof that they are "cheating" or something, of course not but is evidence enough to note that something is not right and should be reviewed further.
