As a 16 handicap, I tend to buy a couple nice sleeves of balls at the beginning of the year and pull out one sleeve per round. If I lose all three in the sleeve, then I move to the next. Not picky one bit on which ball I use. Only thing I do look for is if balls are damaged in anyway, then I won't play it and throw it in the practice bag. Or better yet, in the Happy Gilmore hole bag!
