Golf ball for mid handicapper

[selwood90]

Hi guys, currently trying to decide on a go to ball for regular use. Currently playing off 20 and still lose about 1 a round, at a push 2. Did buy around 120 lake balls and im nearly out. Looking for a ball similar in feel to the Bridgestone e6, if anyone has any ideas? Would love to play with the e6. But a bit steep for my budget considering how many I would go through playing 3 or 4 times a week. Looking for something around a quid a ball, any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

I would recommend the Srixon AD333. You can generally buy lake balls for approxminately £1 per ball (maybe a bit less) on a well known auction site.

American Golf are doing good deals on Srixon Trispeed and Taylor Made Rocketballz at the moment. Both perfectly decent golf balls.

If you are paying more than a quid for E6 lake balls then shop around
example; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/1117...ICEP3.0.0-L&ff14=122&viphx=1&ops=true&ff13=80

If you are losing alot then get cheaper 'B' grades for the time being

stick with the e6,excellent ball.
Pearl quality used on eBay are pretty cheap.

Titleist velocity are pretty good.

Try the Bridgestone Extra Soft... £17.99 a dozen.

Or if you're not a brand snob, there's nothing wrong with the Dunlop NZ9-V3 (£9.99) or the more expensive DP1-V3 (£17.50).

Vice Tour. Fantastic ball. Like an AD333 but even softer with better feel. Once I've run out of Chrome Soft's and the other half dozen Vice Pro's I've got I'll be moving to Vice Tour's. Great ball.

I've picked up Rocketballz from AG, a bargain at £15 per dozen. Similar handicap to op and they suit my game.

Thanks guys, haven't looked at e6 lake balls so that could be an option. Was just looking at brand new e6 price and didn't fancy paying that to say a dozen may last me anywhere between 8 and 12 rounds. Have never hit an ad333 so will look into getting some of those to try out, and loved the rocketballz when I had them previously. Didn't realise they were so cheap.

Thanks for the quick replies and advice guys

Or the Vice Drive. 79p each if you buy 60. I'm using them through the winter. http://www.vicegolf.com/uk/vice-golf-drive

A pal of mine uses top flite. 😳Anyway he had lost them all so I cleaned up an ad333 I fished out of the lake 10 mins earlier. He could not believe the difference.
it made. Excellent ball.
one I have really been getting on well with over the last month or so is the titleist Nxt. Lovely ball.

Nike Power Distance Soft from Golf Depot. Good balls for £9.99 a dozen.

If you live near Chester well worth popping in as they tend to do even better deals in store.

I would say the Srixon AD333 are the best ones for all around feel and distance, I love them. I have just bought some Vice Pro aswell and will be testing them asap, they arent bad price wise if you buy a shedload.

 

[Old Colner]

I have used NXT Tours from Titleist for a while now, if you shop around you can pick up a dozen new for as little as £20, or if you are patient you can get Pearl lake balls for as little as 50p each, from an online auction site.
the Srizon Soft feel are are good alternative and can be picked up for about a pound each, (I got 5 dozen for £60 delivered), although it was maybe a while ago.

 

[TheCaddie]

AD333s are great!

 

[davie24]

As 12 handicap player,i do not understand buying new balls at circa 20 quid a dozen.
Most of my purchases in the last year have been via Gumtree or Facebook sellers. Most recent example was 36 Prov1/Prov1x.
Picked up for £13
24 of them were grade A and the rest were pearl grade.

I like the Titleist DT SoLo (Soft + Long). New, they're £15/doz at 'Sports Direct'. It's whatever you get confident with and I am pretty sure that the flaws in my game are not because of this ball. Been using it for about 3m, lose about one every two rounds on average. If I win balls, I always get these or swap what I get with my club pro (very accommodating guy but I have spent about £1k with him this year). The only problem with setting my heart on this ball is that I never seem to find any and don't like to hit the (usually quite decent) balls I find.

 

[delc]

I am not sure that you should buy lake balls, as they sometimes don't seem to fly properly. This may depend on how long they have been in the water, even if they look to be in good condition. OK for complete hackers who don't hit good shots anyway and lose lots of balls I suppose!

Currently using anything in my bag as not playing that great, srixon soft feel & ad333, titieist dt solo and nxt, Wilson dx2 and dx3, Bridgestone e6, Jesus Sunday I even played a few holes with a pinnacle because I'd just found a mint one and needed a provisional

Currently shotting around +13-15 most rounds and can honestly say that the ball is making no difference at all. I won't be going back to my preferred ball until I'm back shooting h/c but with winter looming it's going to be " if it's good condition wack it "
