mtaxter Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I’ve been using Oncore Elixr for two years now. They are at least as good as ProV1, same cover and three piece construction and about twice a year can get bought at $20 per dozen in bulk. Good quality balls for swings in the 70-85 mph range.

Beakbryce Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Every answer so far is really good. I have played all of them. Mainly for the reason that if you were to come play at my course you will find the best ball under $40 under a bush out in the desert. Used, but free. Just a little humor, but probably not practical for you, so here is my actual suggestion. There are times during the year when Pro V1 practice balls are $29.99. TP5 practice balls same deal although can be found cheaper if you keep looking. They may be prior generation, but so what? 2 year old Pro V still better than most balls today. Check the major on line retailers often and you will luck in to this deal. They are legal for play.

Salvadori Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Remember when TaylorMade's "Project a" was the affordable "Tour ball for regular Joe's"? TM's Tour Response has replaced "Project a" in their ball lineup. Srixon's QStar Tour is a standout high-quality alternative in the $40 "near-Tour" space. Titleist has their TourSpeed & TourSoft. Everyone's best bet in the $40 range is the B2G1/B3G1 deals from Srixon or Titleist on Z/ProV which brings price down to $40 average. "Prior generation" TourB/ZStar/ProV1 is a solid option, as well. If you are losing a lot of balls, the $20-$22 range has Srixon SoftFeel as an excellent performance alternative to premium balls. I was "drop and stop" spinning a SoftFeel earlier today even on 6i approaches, with great chip spin control, as well. Callaway Supersoft has improved quality and consistency in their latest generation, but beware discount prior gen and their poor quality control. Titleist TruSoft is at the higher end here, around $24 a dozen, but the SoftFeel is probably a better ball, for less. (Keep in mind, though, "soft is slow" they say here, so if you have a high swing speed, you may be sacrificing a little distance with a lower-compression ball).

NiftyNiblick Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) 50 bucks is a funny place to draw the line. If you'll spend $49, you'll spend $54 too, no? If you won't spend $54, wouldn't you be looking closer to $25? Maybe not. Just a thought. The beauty of the Pro V1x is that you could order them all with ball #79 printed on them. Helped my keep my eyes on the prize. If not for the "79," I was just as good with cheap Top Flite Gamers! Was once down to an 8, briefly a 7, but never had a game good enough to be ball sensitive. As long as it wasn't wound. Edited August 14, 2021 by NiftyNiblick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjgiaquinto Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I’m a big fan of the taylormade tour response balls. They are very soft around the greens while not giving up any noticeable distance off the tee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
