Srixon marathon balls

[70445]

Found a Srixon Marathon ball, but can’t find them on their web page.  What the heck is that kind of ball?  Where do you buy them?

In Canada they would be available at stores such as walmart, sportchek and canadian tire. Pretty sure they are just a simply 2 piece at $16 or so a dozen

It's a 2-piece distance ball. The local Par-3 sells them by the dozen.

I see them online at Rock Bottom Golf and PGA Superstore online. They are listed as 2017 year model for about $1 per ball in 15 packs for $15. 

I would equate them to a Callaway Warbird or Titleist Velocity - 2 piece distance golf balls.

I'm in the UK and have been using Srixon 'Marathon Soft' for a while.  They are available here from a budget multi sports chain for £20 for a 2 dozen pack.  They seem to have come to some agreement to use the Srixon name on them.

Not great, but not bad as a cheap option, better than some budget balls I've tried, but the Costco Performance + (3 piece) is not a lot more expensive and has a eurethane cover so they may be a better option.    I am currently using my last dozen or so before I move on to the Inesis 900.

I wish we had access to the Inesis brand here in the US. I find them only available in select locations that are out of my area, and paying for shipping negates the savings.

They are available through amazon for $15 a pack. Srixon makes a good ball so that's probably a fair price.

It’s an “outing” ball for us. The guy who plays once or twice a year in a charity outing and buys them in the Pro Shop before the round.   I think its a 15 pack for $18 or something like that.  
 

As others have said, a 2-piece distance ball.  Probably a step above a range ball.

One of my playing partners found one last week and put it into play after he'd lost a couple of his gamers.  He ended up making 3 birdies with it in a 7 hole stretch.  He also had a critical 3 putt with it that helped me win 5 skins.  I was playing with a 15 year old Pro V1 332.  

I think balls matter, but it's as much mental.  Golfers are a superstitious bunch with their equipment, and believing you have the right equipment is almost as important as having the right equipment.

Cheap 2 piece golf ball, I have only seen them in my local pro shop.

That's crazy!  And I agree with you golfers are mental

They are a low spinning distance ball. Great off the tee for high swing speed hitters who tend to hook or slice. They'll stick the green with a wedge due to high ball flight, not backspin. Their weakness is thus holding a green with a mid iron. They are not clicky when putting. Comparable to a Callaway Warbird in play, though I find the Marathon to be more durable. At a $1 to $1.30 a ball, they are a great value. Typically sold in 15 packs.
