How much has it cost you ?

[sydney greenstreet]

To play all different golf balls until finally you have found one that suits you ?

 

[GreiginFife]

Not much as I will normally buy a sleeve rather than a box. Play with the ball until it's done even it it's not great and then move on.
I found the Bridgestones by accident after an "order line error" on my part and decided to give them a bash. Great result and brilliant error

I don't think there is one perfect ball for me. Ideally I'd like one that spins like a top flite with the driver, spins like a ProV1 with my wedges and feels like a Z-Star off of the putter.

The ProV1x is my favourite but it's too expensive for me to use (lose!) as often as I'd like.

a couple of years ago when I started I just bought 72 balls from sports direct at £8 for 2 dozen, once they had dissappeared got some srixon ad333 on offer, then changed to srixon distance, bridgeston xFIXx came next, and after trying an e6 have just used my loyalty points to grab 6dozen for £62.

sticking with the e6 for competitions and will use the remainder of the others and balls that have been found for bounce games

Bridgestone B330-rx or Bridgestone B330-S in warm dry conditions

Funnily enough Darth I played with a Bridgestone I found and rather liked it.

It was monogrammed, so Lionel Green, if you're reading this, thank you very much indeed

 

[DaveM]

Don't really think my game is good enough, to be to picky about balls. As long as it is not a rock I will use it. AD333, nikeSD, Nike Vapour1, NDX tour. Or any similar ball.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Tended to buy a sleeve of three of things like Pro V, Z stars when they came out, Penta etc and just saw what worked best and what didn't. Now got about 12 dozen boxes of balls I've won knocking about waiting to be used (should last until Camberley)

Bridgestone B330-rx or Bridgestone B330-S in warm dry conditions

I like Titleist balls, but am gonna go with the Bridgestone recommendation too. I was recommended the B330-RXS for my swing speed etc and it's been a great ball. Been using it over a season now. Last week I picked an almost new B330-RX out of a range bucket and played with it, was surprised to feel it play even better than the RXS. I know not why, but it just seemd to fly off the clubs even better than the RXS (which were also good). I shot I my best ever medal score with one on Sunday, so gonna stick with the RX for now.


In answer to the original question regarding money, way too much, because it was only recommended to me last year after a look at swing speeds. Was playing for many years prior with whatever I had available or found to be good at the time.

In reply to the OP: I dont know yet, i'll let you know in a few weeks/months as I'm about to change the balls I currently use after using AD333's for about 4 years!!

 

[StrangelyBrown]

This thread has just cost me the price of a dozen Bridgestone Tour BB330-RX balls :rofl:

 

[duncan mackie]

0 - but it's cost the people that loose them

0 - but it's cost the people that loose them

exactly this, if i find something that i "might use", ill try it back to back against what i am using... if its any good its gets a promo, if its no good, ill generally get creative with it... never to be seen again.

its exactly how i find the wilson dx ranges and ad333 originally.

 

[ScienceBoy]

Not much, played the AD333 right from the start, got a few freebies or found a few other types in the rough.

I then got a nice pile of vouchers and was recommended the FG tours, I bought a sleeve of 3 first and then ended up using the vouchers for 3 packs of 12!

I have hardly bought any balls since I started playing either won them or got them for xmas/bday.
