Best Ball for one who loses them constantly?

[bentaygo]

I was wondering if anyone knew of a cheap ball that wouldn't put me into financial ruin if I was having a off day. Such as losing a ball per hole. I am one of the people who if a hole has water on it I will inevitably end up in it. I currently play with reclaimed balls that I have found on the course (nearly 300 balls in total) so it isn't that big of a loss. However, as of lately I wanted to experience what a new ball feels like, but I don't want to go into debt when I lose them. I heard Fuzz was a cheap ball but I couldn't find any new information on them. So if anyone knows of a decent cheap ball please let me know.

Thanks.

What are you willing to spend?   $15/dz, $20/dz, $25/dz.    There are many very good balls that would fit your criteria.   Check Calloway, Bridgestone, Pinnacle, Srixon, Taylor Made, Wilson...

Slazenger “practice” balls.  They play great and last a long time.  If you lose one, at 36 for $10, its very affordable.

I used to buy those little plastic tubs of recycled Callaway balls from Walmart (it’s literally the only thing I go there for), because I really like hitting my tee shots into the Bush.  

I stocked up on Nike Mojos over Xmas.  In Canada you can grab them for slightly more than a dollar a ball.

Preferably $15/dz or less.

That probably explains why I find the Nike Mojos all over the place. From what I can remember they aren't that bad of a ball.

Walmart has a 2 piece ball for $5.00 a dozen. I believe they are called "Nitro". I have played them, and they are not that bad of a ball. I am not sure if they are approved, but if you lose quite a few, who cares.  If you are near a Walmart, or similar store, you might check them out.

I echo what Patch said, WalMart has several different varieties of low priced balls that would fit what you are looking for. Nitro has many different low cost balls, Wilson Staff 50 Elite is also a pretty good ball for under $15/doz. You also might consider the Noodle Long & Soft line of balls, or TaylorMade Super Deep & TaylorMade Lethal Distance if you can find them. Good luck and keep'em in the fairway.

If you want a quality ball that feels good, and not hollow like some of the above suggestions, then get the:

Snell GETSUM ball - excellent 2 piece ball and inexpensive. 6 dz/$85 - no taxes or shipping

Distance - yes; a good combo of spin and rollout around greens (but more roll). I've played it.

That is probably what I will go for. I love the weird or uncommon manufactures for balls so I will check them out. Thanks!

Dean Snell worked for years for Titleist, Taylormade, etc and was on their development teams. Snell Golf Balls have been well received by golfers in the know - a lot of forum members, here and other places, enjoy their play.

I really should go to the Walmart near me (less than a mile away), but it sits on an old Country Club (Woodmar Country Club). I am just a bit bitter that the land from the course was used by a Walmart. But, I guess I will have to put my resentment aside a take a look.

I'm spending roughly 50 cents for "AAA" used balls on eBay. My recent upgrade is to all orange MOJO's.  I used to just pick a random assortment but I got tired of everyone asking " what are you playing ?". Also don't have to mark my initials on them anymore.

 

These orange MOJO's are the easiest ball to spot on the range . (Even if it's the wrong range )

Get some prov1s, a snorkel/mask, rope, and machete. You will never have to buy another box of balls again.

This seems like the set up for a bizarre heist, but feasible.

How many are you getting for the $0.50?

Ah. Okay I misread the then. Still a fantastic deal.

Yep. Just out of principle I won't buy new balls. I'm not good enough to use them.

Lostgolfballs.com is a good place to get cheap, used balls as well.
