Switching GOLF balls

[warbirdlover]

I've played the B330-S and B330 for most of the summer. It's a good ball and seems to hold up but then I stick a $10/doz Noodle Ice on the tee and blow it by big time.

I just bought a dozen Callaway Tour-i balls. Wish me luck!!

I played the HX tour most of last year/summer and have been playing the iX this summer. The i series are good balls if you could hit the 330's you can definately play these. I love bridgestones mid-range balls but the 330's did not do anything for me. Callaway balls have been pretty good for me.

If I didn't have 6 dozen Maxfli Tour Fires, I'd be out looking for the B330-RX or the Nike One Black.

I'm looking forward to trying the B330RX - until then, i'm probably sticking to the top flites

I really liked the B-330S's I played, but for now I've got so many golf balls that I'm not buying any until I get low again.

I love the tour i. Great ball, good choice

I found 34 balls last night at Men's Nite looking for a partners lost ball on a couple holes.

11 of them were Noodle Ice.

that's a lot of balls -was that an unusually high # or do you typically find a bunch?

the Noodle must be popular - or cheap enough that you don't need to spend a lot of time looking (similar to the D2)

Or the hackers play the Noodle Ice because they're cheap...

Oops, I just called myself a hacker. But I hit them straight down the middle.

I always told ya those Bridgestone's were junk.

 

[Bakemono36]

Probably the reason why you hit the Noodle Ice farther is because most of the cheap balls are hard as a rock, to help hacks get more distance and to reduce sidespin.
Ive turned into a pretty big Bridestone/Precept fan. I always used to be a Titleist man, but Id say the Precept balls I play now are just as good as any Titleist DT-series ball and are considerably less expensive. (How do you go wrong with a Precept Laddie-X at $20 for 2 dozen?)
I guess someone has to pay for Acushnet's advertising budget and to fill the pockets of the investors at Fortune Brands...

We typically find 2 dozen a round between the pair in the cart. Obviously that depends on how well we're both swinging, but the course that we play on, there is no room for error when it comes to being off the rough on either side. You can walk in there, find 6, and none of them will be your ball. That happens quite frequently.

The Noodle is very popular, alongside ProV1/V1X, Precept and Callaway HX Hot. Loads of all of those.

I found what I think might be the original ProV1 last night. I'll get a picture up, because it's super old and has cool font on it.

Oh get that pic up soon......


But as for the original post.... PRO V1 X------The #1 Ball in Golf

Didn't that Golf Magazine study a few months ago say that cheap rock balls were shorter than premium 3 piece balls in terms of distance?
