You guys didn't hear what I said. If you shoot over 100 I agree, get any ball you can find because chances are it won't be around long enough for you to establish a relationship with. But as I said any player who can score in the 90's can hit, at times, a decent PW. Obviously if you skull it it won't hold if it's a Pro V or a Top Flight. But when a decent iron, especially a shorter iron, is hit well with a good ball it won't hit and run off the back like a Top Rock or Pinnacle will. And no doubt a player shooting 95 will hit a lot of slices/hooks. That is why I suggested a ball in between a Top Flight and a Pro Vi like an NXT or a Noodle for that level player

But for a teacher to claim that you need to be a 5 to really get the benefit of a spin ball is just plain wrong. I've never been a 5, 6.9 being the lowest I've ever been. But that doesn't mean that I haven't benefitted from having a ball that doesn't release over the green. Hell even on days where I shoot 92 I can still hit a punch SW that checks nicely with a Pro V.

Ive shot less than a hundred since I was a teen, and Ive never paid for balls besides at a rummage sale.

whatever comes in the big bag from K-mart or what I find on the course, if I paid good money for balls, I couldn't afford the green fees too wit ll of them I lose.

My brother in law bought me a couple packs of Top Flight a couple of christmas ago so i've been using them. I dont golf a lot, but hit the ball pretty straight so i dont lose a lot of balls. I usually wait until they are scoffed up before donating them to a pond or woods

There is no question that a particular brand of golf ball will not have any effect on a poorly struck golf ball. But there is also no question that a particular brand of golf ball WILL have an effect on a well struck golf ball. If you generate a decent amount of clubhead speed you really should use a ball with a little spin to stop it on the green if scoring matters to you. You don't need a Pro v-1 to generate the kind of spin you want or need. In fact, that ball probably hurts off the tee because of the added side (hooks and slices) or backspin (balloon balls) you'll probably get. The NXT Tour is a nice ball for the average amateurs' clubhead speed.
Anybody who plays golf and wants to score is wasting their time with balls like Top-Flites and Warbirds. But if you are just knocking the ball around and don't care about your score, use whatever you want.

Couple of driving range stripers do just fine for me.

Or does it matter?

I've been working through 3 dozen Callaway Warbirds and I'm starting to tire of them. They're pretty damn hard.

I have some ProV1's that were given to me, but I'm saving them for a rainy day. Heh. It's hard for me to imagine laying out $45 or whatever for a dozen of them.

So, do you just pull whatever out of the bag, or do you buy for type/model?

Unless you are a very low handicap golfer, topflights are the way to go. usually ~$20 for an 18 pack

I play Callaway Warbirds. When I started using them it added about 10 yards to my shots.

I don't mind them for tee or full shots, but I don't miss the feel around the greens sometimes. Maybe there's something more towards the middle, like a Noodle?

That's what I use.

A friend in my group uses the 'extra roll' balls, and he can never figure out why he can't stick to a green. Yes, there's the added distance advantage. There's going to be a drawback.

A golf coach once told me to not bother with using specific type balls until you're like a 5 handicap.

[glasscollector]

In the summer (now) I use Titleist NXT tour's and Titleist ProV1's. Depends on how well I'm playing and how the course is playing. In the winter I use just about anything, usually cheap Titleist DT's. Or stuff I find, or old stuff I have with cart path marks on them.

[bQXHsKzS]

I've heard that the Taylor Made Burner Reds hug the green pretty well, but I think they are too soft for full swings.

If you struggle with distance off the tee, like I usually do, the hard ones made for extra distance are the way to go. Nothing like getting that monster roll through the fairway to make it look like I had a better shot than my golf buddies.

[cauddyVab]

golfball technology is getting so good that even 'hard balls' can usually provide enough spin on courses the general public play on. Unless you are playing augusta or sawgrass or greens that run 11 or higher on the stimp, just about any ball will do.

Right, but by the same token, that same ball isn't going to help you on the back end, it's going to be a hindrance. It's FINE if you understand that, but the one guy in my regular group will actually complain that he can't ever get his ball to stick.

He can't lob the ball to begin with, so he's using a 'hard' ball, coming into the green at a low trajectory, and complaining that he never sticks.

It's irritating listening to him bitch about it week after week, and we all tell him "get more lob on your shot, quit using the extra roll balls" and he won't do it, and he keeps fucking wondering why he can't adjust.

He should do what I do. Play the ol' St. Andrews bump and run onto the green. Get the ball about 20 feet from the cup and then 3 put your way to embarrassment.

[creewespock]

I like ProV1's but I'm not picky. I usually won't bother to spend that much. Pinnacles, Nikes, Titlest NXT's, and Wilson DX2's are pretty common for me.

[Ephedrine]

I play whatever is on sale when I'm at Dick's Sporting Goods.
