PMookie Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Not sure which model they were, but when my Dad was coaching golf and I was in college, he would send me Slazengers that the team voted on be used. They were a two-piece monster back when all of my buddies were playing balatas. I could hit them a mile and they were SO much better than the hard balls of the day like "Rock Flite" and "Molitor", etc. I loved them! They would have been released around 1990 or so.

opsimpson Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 First ball addiction was the Pro V1 Star. Loved that ball then the Callaway HX Red took over. Favorite of all time would be the Wilson Staff FG Tour. Unbelievable golf ball. Long and soft and very durable.

808nation Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 When I first started golfing my favorite golf ball was anything I could find on the course. Golf was and is expensive and I had no $$, so any free balls for me fine. These days, I am a better golfer and I have a job, so my current favorite is the Snell MTB, K-Sig's, and Srixon Z Star. I want to test the Q Stars as well.

Rtracymog Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I always liked the Taylormade TP Black ball. I have some new Wilson tours (the ones Barnes is playing right now) I've yet to try out. Lastly, the old strata balls with the swirl on them (like in the 90s when strata had Tour representation). I always found them and liked them. No idea why back then, but I did.

deejaid Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The early 2000's when I was single and had no kids I played a lot of golf, so my favorites are from that era. Maxfli A10 was the first ball I really got hooked on. Then Slazenger Player 90's and finally around 2006 or so, Pinnacle Exceptions. I always was looking for a cost-conscious performer and those balls all met the criteria. I still have a couple dozen Player 90's and Exceptions, but only one A10 left in my stash.

MDGolfHacker Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I don't have a favorite ball right now, but I did stock up on 6 dozen 2017 Bridgestone B330-RX's, along with about 5 dozen of last year's B330-RX's and 5/6 dozen Pro V1's. My game isn't good enough to take advantage of what these tour caliber balls can offer but I figure if they don't roll too far off the green on an approach shot, I have a better chance of not making a big number.

Honest Wes Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I truly believe that even if you don't have a fav ball, it's important to use the same ball. I've been partial to the 'ProV1' feel for quite some time. But, I've become partial to the TM Project a and the MG C4 lately. Srixon Z star is right up there as well.

chershey Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Finally bit the bullet and purchased a dozen Snell golf balls to test. The driving range was empty so I did a side by side test with the Chrome Soft X, Taylormade TP5X, and Titleist Pro V1X. On hit 3 of each ball with a 9 iron and 6 iron and then walked out on the range and collected the balls. I was hitting dead in to the wind today so it was an interesting test. What I found was a straighter ball flight from the Snell than any of the other balls and a few more yards distance. The 6 iron was about 5 yards longer. I'm normally a high spin player with my irons so I think these will play amazing in the wind. Then I hit a couple of balls from each brand with my driver and saw similar results. The Snell flew further and seemed to cut through the wind. Finally, I did some chipping and putting with each ball. I got the most spin from the Chromesoft X but the Snell was not far behind. The Pro V1X and the TP5X rolled out a bit more. Off the putter, the Snell felt the softest which I enjoyed. I just went in and ordered 6 dozen. I think I found my new favorite ball.

gaussman1 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Used to love the Maxfli balata balls back in high school, but couldn't imagine playing them now. Top choices for me are the Snell MTB and Taylormade TPx. Quickly closing the gap at the moment are the Kirkland Signature balls. That Maxfli balata in the gold box was amazing back in the early 90s. So soft and spinny in the short game. I think they stopped producing them after an earthquake or fire destroyed the plant in Japan. I preferred that ball over the Titleist Professional by a mile. The Pro would get so lumpy after a couple decent whacks Rogue SZ 10.5 *NEW* Fujikura Pro Green 65 X Rogue 15 degree Evnflow Blue 6.5 Back in the Bag Z765 4-G Nippon Modus 120 Stiff 54 and 60 Amazing Grace Ass Kicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
