So what golf ball do you use when you play a round of golf , be it summer , winter , comps or not , myself i use the Titliest Pro V 1 ( Black Numbers ) , love the feel of the ball off the putter and the control it gives me into and around the greens plus it also does not lack length , in very windy conditions i revert to the Pro V 1x now and again if i have one in my bag , bit harder and spins less ........I mark my golf ball for play with 3 black dots next to the numbers on both sides ...................whats your choice ??:cool:

Srixon Z Star XV, best value premium ball imo and works for me, that said I dont mind using other premium balls (and in winter a NXT or AD333 type ball if wet)

Mark it with a red circle round the number and a straight red line down the side, always have dont know why

I have been playing with Titleist Velocity this season but they are a little hard, so I'm swapping over to Penta TP3's, I find they play like the old TP red's. I always mark my ball with an asterix next to the number, and the colour, depends what comes out of the bag first.

Premium ball in the Spring, Summer and Autumn - almost any except Nike..
Play almost anything in Winter.
Normal mark is a coloured-in dimple to the right and above the manufacturer's name..

I play either Wilson Staff Dx3 Softs, Callaway Tour iZ or Callaway Hex Black (when I can get them cheap!). I mark them by drawing a circle around the numbers.

I must confess to really liking Gareth's method - looks cool!

Dunlop NZ9s, why, because sports direct did them for a silly price so I stocked up as I need plenty. I've been given a dozen Pro V1s, bu they are staying in the shed until I can get round without losing too many per round!

Penta for me, big black blob over the number so I don't have to remember what number ball I'm playing.

Rory copies me!!

Extend the prov line to cover 1/2 the ball for lining up - and write ROBO on the blank space on the opposite side to the pro v stamp
