Golf Balls - what do you play - where do you buy?
 

I know there was already a thread on Golf Balls, but I wanted a two fold thread...what do you play and where do you buy??

I have been playing Bridgestone E5's but I noticed the ball cover is soft and gets scratched up pretty easy.

I just bought two boxes of Srixon Q-Stars on GolfBalls.com. Not sure if its the best price, but it was cheaper than my local store and I got a hat and towel.

I buy Nike Mojos for myself and Pinnacle Pink for my wife off of eBay with free shipping. You need to check to see if they are new as a lot of the offers are for used or seconds. I'm always checking at stores and Pro Shops for deals on these golf balls and buy them when I find a good price.

I've been working with the Callaway Hex Black.

Very nice.

Whatever you get.....see how they feel and react not only on the driver...but irons and especially 150yds and in!

Taylormade Penta. Seriously good balls and hold up with the best of them.

Usually buy new off of eBay.

If one has an average of 95, does it matter that much what ball you play? Or, is it more important that you are confident whatever ball you play?

I hardly ever play but when I do its with Titleist Pro V1X balls... Love em...

Re: Golf Balls - what do you play - where do you buy?
 

Most balls are designed for a particular swing speed. If your an average swing speed type of guy, or you might slice a little. Balls like ProV1's are not for you. Too much side spin will make your slice bigger.

Had no idea.... I am barely a novice in golf.... I just like to drink beer, drive the cart around, and smoke some gars... :lr

Maybe that is why I suck so bad... I'll gladly blame my balls from now on!!! :lr

First off I'm no pro golfer. I usually shoot mid 80's so keep this in mind. I used to play Callaway Warbirds, however I noticed that I couldn't ever keep the ball on the green. My friend who is a local pro told me I needed a softer ball. That's when I started using Bridgestone E5's.

I love these balls. They have a great soft feel and generate the perfect amount of spin for me. Not too much to exaggerate my "fade" on my drives, and enough to stop the ball within 4 ft of where it hits on the green. Very nice balls. I usually get them from Golfsmith at around $25/dozen. However they go on sale quite a bit for 19.99 at which I usually buy a couple boxes.

I couldn't interest you in a few free sleeves of Pro V1's could I Pete? :lr

Re: Golf Balls - what do you play - where do you buy?
 

I make it on the green twice a year if I am lucky... I have no real use for em...

Re: Golf Balls - what do you play - where do you buy?
 

I really really like the E5's, they are the only ball I have ever gotten the ball to back spin on the green. But I am gonna give the Srixon's a try. I will let ya all know.

Bridgestone e6's... Buy at our local Golf Galaxy.

Re: Golf Balls - what do you play - where do you buy?
 

My latest favorite is Titleist Velocity. Imperceptible difference (to me) from the Pro V1's at under $30 a dozen. You've seen me play, Kirk. I am average everything on my good days. :)
With all the balls I collect during the year, I rarely buy balls, but these I make an exception.

Re: Golf Balls - what do you play - where do you buy?
 

Forgot about these. Great balls. lol

Re: Golf Balls - what do you play - where do you buy?
 

I go with the Bridgestone e6, not because of the special features. I shot my best round last month at 121, so I got them because of the Optic Orange color, finding my ball is a lot more important to me than getting it to spin right at this point. :r

In all seriousness though I like them a lot better than the pinnacles or srixans I have played with, they just fly straighter when I hit them right. I also get better distance and my short game has improved a ton. Not sure if that has anything to do with the ball or the fact I went from shooting 151 at the beginning of the season last year and now I am set to reach my goal of breaking 120.

But I do like the orange, they are easy to see and almost impossible to mistake for someone elses ball.

Calloway makes a solid product. I've stayed away from titleist since they quit making the belatta
