I just use that terminology since, presumably, all or nearly all of the balls you find on the popular used ball sites are fished out of water. Was hoping there was some foresight data comparing balls from those sights to New ones (That weren't commissioned by said websites).
I use Snell nowadays and those along with Vice and Maxfli are definitely the best value but I play a lot of narrow tree lined courses and losing a ball when I miss the fairway by 20 feet gets old.
