Favorite Golf ball???

I'd like to get everyone's opinion on their favorite golf ball??? I have tried, as I'm sure everyone has, several balls (at least 50) over the past few years. I still have a favorite overall ball but unfortunately they no longer make them......Precept Laddie. I can still pick them up at times on ebay and at surplus stores but they have been replaced with the laddie extreme which is much firmer than its predecessor. I played the PWR Drive last year after the great reviews on them but they didn't match up with the Laddie. So.........what's your favorite??

Strata Tour Ace - best combo of distance, spin and feel of any ball I've tried. Cover scuffs a bit easy though and they dont make them anymore

I hve 2 dozen left and when theyre gone I'll be using Dunlop 65U balls .

Stratas. I currently have 16 dozen in stock in my office (1 dozen Tour Straight, 5 dozen Pro Tour, and 10 dozen TL Tours) and the most I paid for any one dozen was $12.95. Most were bought closeout at $9.97 a dozen.

If I had to buy a ball that is currently on the market, I would be buying the Top Flite D2 "Feel" ball. This is not the Rock FLite that you remember. This ball feels and plays just like a 3-piece ball, but you get 15 balls for $15.99. Buy a sleeve if you can and try'em out just once. You will be amazed.

I really want to try a sleeve of those D2s out given the reviews their getting pretty much universally...

...but then I cleaned out the cupboard I keep my spare gear in yesterday, and realised just how many golf balls I have in there, many that I doubt will ever get used, and I just felt totally embarrassed. Especially as I only did it to fit in the box of B330-S's that I'd bought that lunchtime...

Of course Prov1 and 1x. Another cheaper one I like and made my 1st and only eagle with is the HP2 Tour.

When im struggling Ill switch over to a Wilson or a Top flight because these rocks dont spin. When Im on my game ill stick to a Bridgestone B330-S or NOP/NOB!

gotta go with the prov. i also like the taylormade balls, i can get them at about 20 a dozen. But as far as the cheaper balls go i really liked the strata tour ace as well. they unfourtunatly dont make it anymore. I bought 5 dozen used ones when the golf show came to town.
