I’m talking where you get the most ball quality for the price.

Not just brand…what’s the best ball for you?

You ask two different questions…

“… most quality ball for the price…” and “…best ball for you…”

Best ball for me is Srixon Z-Star XV. It’s a low-spin ball similar to a Left Dash but is easier to work around greens and doesn’t feel like I am chipping a brick.

The other question is pretty loaded but I’m gonna suggest a quality ball that is reasonably priced and lower compression- - so better for mid-high handicappers with slower swing speeds… also a good winter ball for higher swing speeds… and that is the Precept Laddie.

I play mostly golf balls I find.

ProVs are the #1 lost ball.
Callaway supersoft is probably #2.

I find so many that I can play several rounds with different makes and models.

Right now I’ve enjoyed the Titliest Tour Speed Yellow. Mostly because I can see it.

In general, the urethane cover balls are more durable and spin more. In that genre, I like Tour Response by Taylor Made and Titleist AVX.

This is without a doubt the best bang for Buck golf ball out. You can get 4dz for just over $100 bucks and they punch way way above their weight class

There is no straight answer. If you're a novice most any cheap ball will be fine. If you're a decent player we'd need to know more about your game and your numbers. What's great for me might be bad for you and that doesn't mean the ball is bad it just means your numbers don't match the ball characteristics.

They discontinued that ball, AVX is the equivalent pretty much.

It used to go from the Pro V line to the AVX and Tour Speed then to Tour Soft.

For me, a ProV putts very nicely.

I just don’t have the speed in the long game to take advantage of all that golf ball has to offer.

Best ball, toss up between Callaway triple track and prov1

Best value? Bridgestone e12 LINK

Golf balls.com has them on sale fairly regularly

Triple track is not a type of ball. Callaway makes more than one ball with a triple track.

I’ve tried Chrome soft and Chrome Tour and really couldn’t tell much difference.

I’ll have to try those next time I need balls. I usually by 4-5 dozen at a time for a good sale but I can pick up a sleeve to try.

You may be joking , but Mr Short Game just put out a test video on the YT and he was seemingly pleased with them. They were actually long in the tests over the Pro V
