What Golf Ball Are You Playing In 2024?

[BillL]

Going to play a mix of Vice Pro and Vice ProPlus.  Last year I tried the Maxfli ball and it was very good.  I sometimes will grab ProV1X's for tournament or interclub play, but Vice has proven to be a very good choice for me.  Will the Pro's while it is a bit cooler and then go to the ProPlus when it warms up.  

10 handicap

I’ve jump around quite a bit in golf balls and it seems I always return to the ProV1.  I have many like new ProV’s going back to 2011 and though the ball may have “changed” or so they say every newer version is better than the last, I really can’t tell a difference in any of the year models.   Distance wise I don’t see any significant difference in any regulation ball out there.

When the season kicks off I will be trying the Snell MTB Prime. My wife gave me a dozen for Christmas. Last season I tried and liked the Wilson Triad and the TaylorMade Tour Response Stripe.

ProV1 unless the Whitebox and Callaway surprise me!

I made the switch to ODIN golf and the X1 version of their ball in December, and will be playing this ball in 2024.  I was very happy with the experience.  During the review @Jordan ODIN Golf was very involved following our posts and quick to respond for any questions.  See my full review here:

 

So great having ya in the crew!!

I'll be sticking with my Vice Pro that I've been using for the last 4 or 5 years now. I always wait till they send me a code for free printing and then get my own graphic printed on them and buy 10 dozen at a time. Making them less expensive overall and they perform just as well as Pro V1's in my opinion. At least for my game they do and they are half the price!! A win-win for me. And since it's already printed with my graphic, then I don't have to worry about marking the ball.

warm days - Left dash

cold days - Pro V

[Randall Robbins]

Well, I'll probably grab a dozen or so of the AVX when I can get them from my pro shop, since I really liked them when testing;  of course, I'll wait until I've tested these new Callaway balls to see what they are like.  Besides, I have a trunk full of Pro Vs that I have found on the course, so I don't think I'm going to run out anytime soon!

I read or saw a video somewhere that there was a test of the original Pro V1 and I think a 2020 model, somewhere around that year. There was a minimal difference in yardage but the original scuffed more.

I am playing the Callaway Hex Tour from FoundGolfballs.com. They offer balls that are a good value for me and they perform as expected for my level of play.

[Rhinosparky]

Maxfli tour is my go to.  I haven't decided what version i'm sticking with of three versions the Tour S, Tour, or Tour X.  I am currently playing the Tour S in the colder weather.  I just shot my personal best of the year with it on Sunday 39-37 for a 76.

They are such a great value especially if you buy it 4 dozen at a time.  I was sure to go stock up as some as they signed Lexi as I am sure the price is headed up soon.

I absolutely love the looks I get when I announce what ball I am playing on the first tee.  The looks are priceless.  It's so strange how people don't know about this ball.

I currently play Maxfli Tour and have been well satisfied.  I have about 6 doz to start 2024, and I also have acquired 2 doz Oncore Elixers.  I think the Oncore is a good warm/hot weather ball but not so much in cold weather.

[Remorce]

Used mint/near mint vice pro/pro plus for me this year.

[billybogey]

Callaway Tour Soft or TM Tour Response or Whatever "Good" Golf Balls I can take from HRH's Golf Bag!!

[Slypanther]

I will work on my accumulated stash of Pro V1 2015 - 2023. I have a few dozen Pro V1x's from their start in '03, and some original 2001 Pro V1's. In testing the older balls lose spin and distance; 40 yards off the driver, 30 yards off the irons.

[panhndl]

TaylorMade Tour Response is my primary ball.

MaxFli Tour is my 2nd.  

 

The TM balls can often be found on Ebay for a lot less usually.  Just have to be patient.  

[Ted Tedeschi]

Have been playing Callaway Super Soft, so my daughter gave me 2 dozen monogramed for Christmas. Found a deal on Titleist Tru Feel, so going to do a little comparison this spring.

[GolfSpy_APH]

I figured this thread would get a few responses but my goodness you all killed it! Great feedback form all thanks!

[CB Lobo 4 Life]

Maxfli Tour X guy myself. However, I am intrigued by both the TP5x and Bridgestone balls that are coming out this year. Not sure what I am going to decide on yet...

[TJ Hall]

TaylorMade Tour Response followed by anything good I find.

[2puttbogey]

Kirkland. I try others, but for $15 a dozen there’s nothing else that can meet the performance to dollar ratio.

[BringerofRain]

My cheap butt plays the special edition vice pro plus or pro and I always split 5 or 6 dozen with a couple buddies. 
 

I really like looking down at a fun golf ball knowing someone will be happy to find it in the deep rough or the woods when I get to lazy to go look for it. 

[Fongle]

Quite keen to give the new Callaway range a try and see how they perform

[SirPrised]

Vice Pro Plus for me. I've committed myself to only play one ball this year (though I may change up the color sometimes, because why not?) I want to remove variables and the intersection of price and performance has been tough to beat.

[William P]

Started gaming the OnCore Elixir last season and still have a couple of dozen on the shelf to start the new season.

I plan to do some experimenting early in the season with the ODIN X1, Maxfli Tour, and the new Titleist AVX based on the testing and results experienced by our members. I have no issues with the OnCore, other than they don't have a method of tracking lost balls..., but always like to keep the options open for potential improvement. 

The new AVX has a lot to prove as it will be starting with a definite disadvantage due to price...

[Randjf]

Volvik Vimax Soft in bright green. It replaced the Bridgestone e6 Soft in yellow two years ago which I played for about 3 or 4 years as a result of MGS's Find it/Cut it campaign. These two balls have similar compression and play similarly in my game, especially off the tee. (Age 67, driving about 210 to 230 yards.) Both have been dependable, meaning I almost never have hit a missed shot and thought it might be the fault of the ball. I like them both but lean towards the Volvik for the easier-to-spot color, and the slightly matted finish which is a bit grippier on the green. The matte doesn't seem to affect my putting.

I played the Taylormade Tour Response also until they kept jacking up the price.  Then went to the Maxfli.

2023 was the year of testing new golf balls for me.  I was pretty loyal to Srixon QStar Tour balls for a while (plus whatever I found around the course).  I decided to test some direct to customer balls that had some ties with my past.  First, I tried the full set of OnCore balls (Avant 55, Elixr 2020, Elixr 2022 and Vero X1) as I was born, raised and had my career in Western New York.  Overall, I liked each of the balls.  Then I tried the Snell MTB Prime balls (caught a three dozen promotion with towel this summer).  Turns out Dean Snell graduated from the UMass Lowell Plastics Engineering program two years after I did, so I had to give my fellow River Hawk graduate a try.  They also performed well but scuffed pretty easily.  Finally, when MGS had their Maxfli ball promotion this fall, I jumped on purchasing two dozen Maxfli Tour S balls based on the forum's reviews and member comments.  Before the first shipment arrived, I already purchased two more dozen in yellow.  After I put them in play, I knew I found my new go to ball.  Over the next several months, I purchased six more dozen of the Tour S balls (a four dozen pack of white hidden behind the stack of balls and two dozen of custom logo balls with "Golf2Much MyGolfSpy" printed on them).

    

As a result, I have several dozen ProV1's, OnCore, Srixon QStar Divides and Snell MTB Prime balls waiting patiently in case the Maxfli balls abandon me.  I'm not expecting that will happen.

I usually play z-star, but got the deal for the Maxfli Tour ball (4dz for < $100) at the end of last year and will be giving those a go in 2024!

Just wanted to send you a welcome to the forum. Good luck to you in 2024. Oh yeah, if you don't like the Maxfli Tours let me know. I'll buy them from you. 

[Dweed]

For me it will be a mix of Maxfli Tour and Callaway ERC Soft.
