I'm a mid handicap player with a fast swing and a long hit. I do lose a few balls a round, so the pro v1 is just to expensive. So whats a decent value ball that will hit long and still have a soft feel around the green.
Whats the best value all round golf ball

- Start date
Noodle at a £10 or Ad333 at £15 a dozen. Online golf has 3 dozen Noodles for £20

Got a couple of charity shops locally that have baskets of old golf balls 3 for a quid. Mostly rubbish, but so far this year I've picked out a dozen nearly new ProV1s. And a brand new 1970's Dunlop 65 
Otherwise don't think you can go far wrong with the AD333's

Anyone know the difference between Noodle and Noodle+.
I bought some Noodle+ for £12.99 yesterday and feel a little over-charged.
And they've got England flags on which means less space for my ball marking creativity.
I would have got AD333 but I can't bear the nitro-glycerine coating which make my putts take off at warp speed.
Incidentally, Noodle do a ball for slower swings (Easy Distance). It says "up to 85 mph". I can do 85 mph if I take it easy.
I tried slower swing speed balls before and lost distance.
Anyway, back out into my field to practise those 180 yard 9 irons.

Noodle + are softer so are longer and better around greens than the standard noodle. I think they are great balls for the money.

I'm sure I saw them for £9.95 on the web but you need to order 50,000,000,000 of them to avoid postage charges.

Is that 50 billion? Too many for me; I hardly lose balls, I don't hit them far enough.
I guess I'll have to get out and hit some to see what "plus" I get in my game.

I have been using Wilson FG Tour for the past few weeks, I find them great in terms of value and performance. They generally feel better than the AD333 I used last winter, they are massively better off the putter face too. £20-25 doz.

Noodle + comes with sweet & sour sauce.

On serious note, For a middle to high handicap player I don't think you would go far wrong with either the wilson dx2 soft or the srixon soft feel. Both good balls.

Online golf £23 for 24 and you get 92 points which is worth 92p off you next order so next time you order £22.08 for 24 and of course free delivery.

If youre not that bothered about the performance or dont have a good enough game to warrant playing a premium ball then it really doesnt matter what brick you use. Noodles/ad333/nxt , whatever , theyre all just bricks and wont give any feel or response on the grreens anyway. Might as well use Pinnacle ladies pink distance specials for £1 per 3 million

Sorry but I disagree here. The NXT, AD333 and some of the others (Wilson etc) will give you a reasonable amount of spin and control both off the putter and chipping. To be honest most balls will stop at this time of year anyway so the trade off between a premium and decent mid range ball isn't so great

I have to disagree with Jammy, having hit an AD333 its not a bad ball, I would however recommend the Tri-speed by Srixon ahead of the AD333 and also the Srixon Soft Feel.

I use the ad333 and find it very good, after hearing the shouts for the noodle I will give them a go, just seen 3 dozen on eBay for £20.
