Ditto!!!

I guess just because it hasn't cost $45 in several years and can now be found for $12, it is no longer a premium ball. Premium enough for me. Although after I get through my current stock I am hoping I can find and try the Black Max for the same range, as the Strata's are becoming harder too find. Although I did buy 10 dozen last time out.

Actually next to maybe the Pro-V1 and the HX Tour and HX Tour 56, the Strata would be my next favorite if all at equal cost.

I have a few more dozen of Tour Pro's to go through until I get into my TL Tour stash (10 dozen). After they are gone, I will probably get into the D2 feel if they are still around.

HX Hots that I got off of Doc are not a bad ball either. Not as soft and controllable around the greens as the Stratas, but an OK ball. I am hoping that in the next year or two that it takes me to get through the stash that there will be a value priced premium ball available.

Warbirdlover, IMHO, the Maxfli Tour Fire is a great ball, especially with a retail price of $29.95 a dozen.

My only problem is that I still have 5 dozen NXT Tours and DT-Solos, and I can't just throw them away.

You forgot the "None of the above, Please Explain" Category. You only gave the option to check 1 if your intent was to get the best of each brand.

I have a couple new ones to try out. My friend Nappy gave me a mint One Platinum and a TP Red along with 4 Prov1's yesterday.

That should get me through the front 9.

Oh all right. I wanted to make the poll so you could have multiple choices but screwed up and hit "submit". I know there are some favorites like the Tour Fire (great ball btw, played it Saturday) but they only make one version. This poll was to see which "version" people play. And I couldn't put only so many balls (TM Red and black) because it only let's you have so many entrys. Please forgive me for my sins.

For now it's the B330s. I still have 3 1/2 dozen so it's my ball for at least all of this year.

Hey, those balls are perfect............






............for that game where you drill a hole through balls, tie them together with rope, and throw them at the three-tiered PVC pipe rack. I think it's called "Texas Golf" or something. The Molitor balls were really easy to drill holes evenly in.

I got a sleev of those NOP's at a tournament last week. They are dogshit based off the press they emulate. For all the hype they get, they're no better than a D2 Distance, IMO.
