What was the 1st golf ball you regularly used ?

[sydney greenstreet]

I started playing in about 2001/2002 and the 1st ball I started buying all the time was a good old Wilson smart-core golf ball, which was yours ?

When I first took up golf when I was 14 I used to use what ever balls my dad had spare. But bought myself top flight xl's

now I am playing on a regular basis I buy titleist dt roll, but this is about to change to velocity or pro v1

 

[Wayman]

srixon ad333

 

[wrighty1874]

Dunlop 65s were the ones I first used back in the late 60s. Nowadays I use Srixon soft feel.

 

[Imurg]

TopFlite Z- Balata....
Not balata at all but decent spin for the time.

The first golf ball I used? Would that be the hacked ones I got from my dad so that I could peel the cover off and unwind all the elastic to get to the sac of white goo in the centre?

Not the first one you used but the first kind of ball you used regularly.

Top Flite was the first I seemed to get on with and were cheap so that's mine. Still got some in the shed I think.

The deconstruction was quite regular. I don 't remember the make I played with as a wee boy, but being cast-offs from my dad they were probably Dunlop 65s and certainly the smaller British size.

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Dunlop DDH. You could get something like 50 for a fiver which when you lost as many as I did when I first started was a good thing.

 

[Deke]

Srixon Soft Feel for me,still decent value today!

 

[One Planer]

First ball I settled on using, after cast offs, was the AD333.

Still a good ball today IMO.

Commando…….tough as old boot, very dependable, very reliable, hard as nails, sore on the arms on off centre hits, cheap as chips and ran for about 200 yards with a got top off the tee…………Got one in the car, it reminds me of when I first started in my drunken period.

 

[DAVEYBOY]

AD333 and still using them now, I did find a RBZ ball yesterday and give it a bash, flushed a 6 iron on a par 3 of 175 YRDS and flew the green, S3 clocked 191 YRDS total don't know if it was just the ball but there was no wind. Might be because I'm smashing the gym again. Felt like a brick off the putter though.

For me it was the Nike PD Long. Nice and cheap, decent too. For my ability a reasonably priced distance ball is all i'm after. I choose the Titleist Velocity now because I'm a golf tart, and, when hitting it flush, it works for me.

 

[brendy]

I played whatever was affordable initially then moved to titleist professionals and maxfli revolutions (still dont know why they discontinued them) once I started playing as a member of a club, with a handful of lessons, mizuno tzoid weapons and these balls, I came down from 12 to 6 in the space of a few months.

 

[LIG]

Started when Top Flites were on the "XL2000" version. Used be sold in 15 ball boxes as opposed to dozens for all the others and was a lot cheaper.

 

[Nashy]

Ultra to start then, Z balata, Maxfli A10, Callaway HX Blue, ProV1, and finally onto Z star and B330s.

 

[thecraw]

Brendy I'm with you. The Maxfli Revolution was an absolute belter of a golf ball, soft, long, feel, spin, the works. Yes it went that yellow way quite quickly but I loved that ball.

 

[MashieNiblick]

For many years just used odds and ends. First dozen box I bought were Top-Flites but only because they were cheap. The first balls I used on a regular basis because I actually thought they were good were Maxfli XS Tour, then moved on to Maxfli Revolutions.
