The Pro V1x is the best ball I've used.

Love Titleist. Bridgestone B330tour or whatever are my next favourite.

Anything but Taylormade, those balls scuff so fucking easily, often times I use like 3 in a round because of how much the paint scuff and the ball chips.

I personally play Nike, but don't expect them to perform like Titleist.

Nike is nice, but Titleist, for me anyways, are more soft and easier to control. I just use Nike balls to match my gear.

I was just busting your balls. I do think Titleist golf balls are incredibly overrated, especially the Pro Vs and the Pro Vxs. They're overpriced for a 3 and 4 layer ball that's Urethane coated.

Bridgestone's E Series is nice but the same thought as the ProVs goes into their B330 series.

I personally like hitting Nike One RZN X, Callaway Hex Chrome + and Snake Eyes Tour (GolfSmith brand).

If I were to go ball by brand I'd go..

Titleist - NXT Tour S or Velocity
Bridgestone - E7
Callaway - Hex Chrome +
Taylormade - Wouldn't be caught dead hitting these shit balls but Penta 3 or Rocketballz Urethane (same ball, just different packaging for the new year)
Nike - One RZN X, Mojo's are surprisingly nice too imo for a 2 layer.
Srixon - None really. No hate towards them, just don't have a good feel for any of them. Q Stars probably.
Wilson - C25
Off Brand - Snake Eyes Tour

And out of all of them, I have to say, performance to money, Snake Eyes Tours are the shit. 14.99 a dozen to the public, 2 for 20 (7 bucks a dozen for me B) lol), 3 Piece Ball, Urethane coated. Why's that sound familiar? Hmmmmm. Go up to the top of this post and see if there's any other 3 piece urethane ball. :)

/opinion

And you know what they say about opinions, just like assholes, everyone has one, and they stink. Mine included lol.


As far as this thread goes, I stick by my previous post.

The ball isn't going to help your slice much but you're on the right track with the e6.  I'd recommend trying any of the following...

Bridgestone e6
Nike Vapor
Wilson Duo
Taylormade Penta 3 (if you can find them anywhere) or Rocketballz Urethane (they're the exact same ball, just old packaging vs new)

If those don't work then maybe jump to the Callaway Diablos or Hex Hots.


Without knowing swing speed, spin rates, etc of the golfer, I'd recommend those golf balls.

Pick out balls from range that arent range balls ? (if your range has that mixed crap like mine does) lol

Well sometimes I'll find almost new Pro V's or other nice balls. Use what I find during practice rounds usually; unless it's a terrible ball or in bad shape
