I once bought some lake balls (Titleist) every ball looked perfect but no ball lasted a round some only a couple of holes before the seams split open.
Move to premium balls?

Having played both I could not spot any difference between the two. I bought the QStars because I did not like the newer version of Bridgestone B330 RXS at the time and the price was so good.
Good to know, just bought a dozen

I’ve been using titleist tour soft for the last year or so, won a couple of boxes in a comp. I was sceptical at first but I Really like how they feel both on full shots and on and around the green. I’ve tried prov1, z-star etc, they don’t feel as nice to me, probably to do with my swing speed. Trouble is, the tour softs are £30 a box, I can’t justify that, I probably average 1 lost per round. So I’m gonna try the dreaded lake balls at half the price. What’s the worst that can happen?! ??

If you are happy with a two piece soft ball and want to get the cost down try Srixon Soft Feel, Callaway Supersoft, TaylorMade RBZ soft, Wilson Staff Duo soft

I’ve tried most of those, don’t know what it is about the titleist, but it just feels good, kind of light and springy off the face. It’s all in the head I think!
What’s the spin like on these sort of balls? As mentioned on the other thread, I’m struggling getting the ball to stop on the hard greens.

You could always try these https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/golf-ball-tour-900-x12/_/R-p-186431 Generally get good reviews and a bit cheaper than the equivalents. Although, they used to be 20 quid, whereas 25 plus postage probably isn't that much cheaper. Unless there's a Decathlon near you where you can pick them up.
These might be good, for a bit less money again: https://www.clubhousegolf.co.uk/acatalog/TaylorMade-Soft-Response-Golf-Balls-White.html#SID=8567

I'm in Nice France at the moment and there's a big Decathlon shop
Went there last week all set to buy Inesis stuff - mainly balls such as the 900 - but anything else that takes my fancy - they also do great plastic tees which are so bright they are nearly impossible to lose
They had sections on running, swimming, camping, tennis and probably synchronised boules ..but
...Apparently they closed the golf section due to lack of local interest

A happy medium might be the 3 piece performance + by Kirkland (Costco)
Certainly not a Pro V or TP5 but its a 3 piece urethene ball that feels softish, retains its whiteness and spins fairly well.
Bought a 24 pack just to experiment and to be honest at c.£1 a ball they are in my opinion a much better bet than the major OEM's 2 piece offerings which cost considerably more
