Seeking ball recommendations.

by turnover on Mar 13, 2009 10:38 AM EDT

Good morning, y'all.

I am a weekend duffer. I've never seen fit to actually compute my handicap, but I generally shoot in the mid-90s. Because of my generally lousy play, I've spent a not-inconsiderable amount of time searching for errant tee shots in the woods and weeds; as such, I've had an opportunity to try out quite a few "found' balls over the years.

Anyway, I'm looking for a new ball. I was a fan of Maxfli's original Noodle, but the new Noodle is somewhat displeasing to me.

I tend to dislike so-called "distance" balls - feels like hitting a rock.

Costco (of all places) currently has a two-dozen pack of the Titleist Tour Prestige on sale for about $30. Has anyone had any experience with this ball? I was under the impression (from having read some old product reviews) that this ball had been discontinued. Anyone know if it's the same Prestige hey were making a few years ago?

Anyway, my ball criteria is generally determined by a) affordability; b) durability; and c) feel.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

lots of good choices

I played with a guy earlier this week who was trying the Prestige for the first time – he seemed to like it.

There are a number of balls in the $20 a dozen range that would probably help you out.

Give the Bridgestone “E” series a try. They have three different kinds that are designed to help with different flight problems. check out bridgestonegolf.com for all the details.

I’ve been playing the Wilson Zip ball for a year and it’s terrific. Hard to beat the price, and they are very soft feeling.

Callaway also has some very good balls, but I can’t think of the names – but they are in that $20 range, too.

"this ball will fit in that fairway"
