(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best golf balls

I had the same exact problem as you. Everything good except always short on the putts. I did a bunch of research and ended up buying the Balls of Steel when I got an Amazon gift card. This does what it says and improved my putting dramatically. Highly recommended. Be sure to post if/when you find something that works.

>but the obsession cracks me up

I think it's partly just because people realize they're up against the grey market resellers who may quite literally have nothing better to do than wait outside a store for an hour for some golf balls. If these things were regularly in stock it'd be the same as other balls - just pick up a box when you need it. But given the scarcity, out comes the 'obsession'.

There's also the issue of not wanting to buy more expensive yet "worse" balls. Let's just use these as an example. Why bother stocking up on a "worse", more expensive ball when there's potential to be able to buy a "better" ball for cheaper. At that point it's not even so much of a "I MUST HAVE KIRKLANDS" as it is a "I feel a little ripped off playing these Noodles." That's kind of a strong feeling for me, at least, given I bought 2doz Wilson Duo's quite literally the day before the most recent Kirkland online restocking happened.

I played my first round with them just recently and while I'm positive there's some placebo effect going on, they are definitely great balls, and I won't think twice about buying them again.

Definitely the Titlist NXT line. It's buttery off of the irons, spins off the wedges, and feels soft off of the putter. It doesn't curve in the air as much as a normal Tour Ball would either, only on command. You can get them for pretty cheap on Amazon. Another good ball is the Bridgstone e6, they feel soft on the irons too. and a cheap back-up ball that iv'e tried is, surprisingly enough, the Wilson Duo, which felt best off of the driver for me, and the feel off of my irons wasn't bad either but i didn't like it for short game that much.

Naw we use these to practice.

Honestly, great balls.

Looks like these are the ones: https://www.amazon.com/World-Collection-Globe-International-Flags/dp/B000TGN7QE

Pretty cool looking, I might order a set myself.

I play Bridgestone E6's. I've gotten them used from amazon and they come in great condition

I bought this pack to get a little from column A, a little from column B. I've been doing the indoor chipping myself as winter cabin fever is setting in, now that I just picked up clubs that actually fit me.

Have to say I like the wiffle style better, for the feedback and "true-ness" to how well a real golf ball would fly having been hit the same way.

The foam ones are nice for fuller swings, since I worry about the plastic ones breaking or denting things if struck hard.

Ass Reaper hot sauce always makes me giggle. I am not sure how good it is (medium is too hot for me), but it is silly looking.

I always wanted to get my dad the Life is Good golf stuff:

Golf balls

Shirt

Another shirt

My dad, who has played 6 times in his life, plays with these cause they're easier to find. Maybe you should pick up a pack? Or, y'know, any other yellow ball I suppose

My wife got me a snazzy Swiss army one for Christmas. It has a few blades on it an a detachable ball marker. It's pretty sweet.

You can find The 2015 model of TM Tour Preferred balls and The 2014 model of Bridgestone B330 S balls on Amazon for a very reasonable price. I have just been getting to the point where a good ball is worth it to me and have been buying these. It has made a world of difference around the greens from the ~$15-$18 balls I was buying.

I hope these will fit:

These balls are the best and so cheap. Very soft. Wilson Zip

If you're in the US, you can get the Tour Preferred (1 generation older than the TP5) on Amazon for about $28. Other good choices would be Srixon Q Star Tour and the Taylormade Project a. There's also a new Project (a) that launched 1-2 weeks ago.

All of the above have urethane covers, which will generally generate more spin on your irons and wedges.

These are amazing.

Amazon has Taylormade TPX's for sale for 28$ today. $20 off normal price. Good balls. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HYQI4D8/ref=gbps_img_s-3_0842_9d05ef74?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2338600842&pf_rd_s=slot-3&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=gb_main&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0T4DCXFKVD4MKSRJBNMV

25% off at checkout makes these cost about $13 per dozen. 3 piece with urethane cover? Description says ethane but idk if that's a thing. I'm buying anyways since I also have rewards points to spend.

They can charge crazy amounts for scupper plugs, so if you're trying to save money think about grabbing a couple of those yellow foam practice golf balls from walmart and just using those as plugs. They can be smushed down into the holes to plug them, just feed a string through them to help you pull em back out again. This is the kind I'm talking about: link.
