Cheapest possible that you like the feel of when putting.
You ill lose plenty, so no point spending huge amounts on premium balls. And you won't get consistent spin with shots into/onto the green, so no point using the premium balls that give better control either - until your ball striking is 'consistent'.
Putting is the only part of the game where a ball that feels right will give you real benefit right now. And putting is where you can be as good as any other player too!

I played a few holes the other week with a found Dunlop NZ9. It felt ok, a touch softer than the usual Dunlop pebble, but certainly more solid than my DX3. Did scuff up quite badly though.
If you can get past the branding, the NZ9 at £9 a dozen wouldn't be a terrible choice imo.

Even if you were off 28 the advice you gave was sound and you could well have been taking your own advice, nothing wrong with what you said. Your right, he does not come across well, we just don't need people like that on the forum or in golf full stop!

American golf and Direct golf are selling 24 pro v practice balls for £9.99, they are great cheap cheerful and feel soft, some have minor cracks but doesn't bother me.

I have started using the Wilson dx3 and they have been great! Around 15-17 a dozen too.. I am happy.

Played with a Srixon soft today for 9 holes before i put it in the water. Nice ball and felt great to putt.
I understand where the OP is coming from and if you are losing several balls a round it can become expensive. I would look online but Wilson DX2 would be a good starting point.

I can recommend TM burners, best ball I've hit in a while, a little harder than a srixon soft feel but they go well off my woods don't accentuate and bad slices I may have
Also noodles are good, there's a guy on ebay selling 40 pearl noodles for £19.99 delivered, a good ball at just under 50p a ball and being pearls they're still like new

these are worth a pop. I bought a bag from American golf on edge lane in Liverpool. only one would be described as a scrapper. the rest were decent.
I always comment on here than high handicappers are not doing themselves any favours playing with rock hard balls. you do not need to hit the ball like a pro for a pro v to sit down a hell of a lot quicker than every distance ball.
soft balls are also x10 better to chip with.

It may be a mental thing but ive noticed that since changing from the cheapest dunlop balls I could find my game has improved particularly around the greens where a decent level of consistency has crept in and knocked most of my shots off. Im currently using some pearl pro v's because I was given 24 for helping a mate do some work.
Im currently palying off 24 having been struggling to play to 28 for a year, I should really get some lessons though.

I actually really like those dunlop locos, especially with my longer irons.
