Golf Balls Recommendation?

yellow hen

Hi, my chriskindle this year asked for golf balls as its something they said they would never spend alot of money on themselves. Can anyone recommend one or two brands I should look for?
thanks.

pro v1
everyone who wants to be taken seriously on the course uses them

if not TM Penta - you'll get those cheaper these days

do go near nike, bay hill, srixon, spalding, dunlop, or wilson

Box of these will do the trick I reckon, good quality and good value. Any level of player would make use of a box of these.

To spoil them get Titleist NXT tour, i pu two under my pillow every night.

What handicap are they.

I'd rather not have Pro V1's. I don't notice them being any better than cheaper balls - in fact if anything I think I play slightly better using some cheaper ones. When I see people of a similar ability to myself using them I just think "why are they wasting their money".

I'd rather not have people think that of me.

Oh, and I usually like Callaway, Nike or Srixon balls - a box for between €20 and €30 roughly. At the moment I'm finishing off a box of the Srixons that KPH added a link to.

Titleist Pro v1s. If its a treat get these. Around e25-e30 for a box of 12.
If your looking for value Nike, srixon, Callaway. About e20

Unfortunately, I doubt you'll get ProV's for that price, they are normally around EUR40 a dozen!! :eek:

The Srixon AD333's as mentioned above are a good all round ball, particularly for winter...

Not exactly what i claimed but nearly. You can get offers in Pro shops or online during the year and worth buying a box or two. Just got to snif out the deals.:p

Ah to be fair now they are the best ball around, or at a minimum in the top 3.
But yeah, they are horrendously overpriced, id only ever buy them 2nd hand myself.

Srixion AD333s would be a decent kris kindle gift if you're in the 20€ budget - if higher - 2 boxes - and so on...

Aesop

Why would anyone recommend Prov1's for someone without knowing the first thing about how they hit the ball. If someone is a little wayward off the tee then high spin golf balls off the tee are a complete waste of money (NXT's, AD333's would be more beneficial and half the price). If you can't play to at least an 18 handicap then the "extra feel" you get from buying prov1's would be better spent getting a short game lesson.

Theres nothing like the "extra feel" you get from a Pro V as you slice it 120 yards into the forest down the right hand side!!

If you wish to cut shots off your short game then buy good balls...and pro v1's are the best IMO.

Try and chip over a bunker onto a green with a cheap ball. You may as well just start walking to the otherside of the green as it ain't gonna stop!!

Then they should try pitching the ball over rather than believing the ball will substitute for poor technique.

I think you are joking,

But > 95 % of golfers lose their ball before that ever comes into play and for 99 % the strike and swing and everything else comes way before the bad egg machine from the Willie Wonka movie.

Conno , are you a bad egg.
