Golf ball manufacturers are spending a lot of marketing energy into ball fitting as of late. Each brand makes a bevy of balls with each having slightly different ingredients in it's construction. When I cared less about actually scoring and just loved to go out and bash the ball as far as I can (still do) I never really cared what ball I played. I always assumed the more expensive the ball the better, which to some extent can be true. However, most brands make balls to accommodate how much us average golfers suck and they will makes us better. So next time you buy balls (back from your wife) take the time to read the package and buy a dozen that will help your game. That doesn't meen buy the ball that happens to be on clearance or the one that says "Add 70+ Yards to Your Game!". Try a few different 3 ball sleeves unless you dump 8-9 into the woods per round like I do then try them out by the dozens. In case you were curious as to which balls the pros like playing, GolfDigest listed the top 8 balls based on wins on tour. The most winning ball on tour was the ProV1x with 21 victories, then the ProV1 with 6, Taylormade Penta TP - 5, then Nike, Callaway and Srixon bringing up the rear with fewer than 5.
