I’ve played years using mint condition a star balls or buying it new at pro shops. They always would only last 1 or 2 holes before being dirty. I’ve been improving and wanted a better ball. Went to ebay and found tp5 pix practice balls. Literally same ball as tp5 but is marked practice. I swear the difference from a premium and cheap one is crazy. If you don’t lose your balls or play in tournaments, I’d highly recommend getting some. Balls still look new after a round.
Only saying this because some people may not know it’s an option and it’s half the price of buying them without practice logo. I think buy now is like 3 dozen for 80$ and it’s literally brand new balls. Tried looking for other brands like pro V1 but never could find any. I guess this is for people that still lose balls every round. I’m not a seller, just user.

Maxfli Tour is the best value ball in all of golf.

Outstanding ball.

Third on the Maxfli Tour.

I also like the higher end of the Vice and Cut lineups.

Wilson Staff also make great balls. I’ve enjoyed the new Triad.

Bridgestone E6. Best ball (by far) for your money. Long, low spin off the tee. Plenty of spin around the green. Outer shell holds up great with sand shot wear & tear.

Only difference is it says practice on the ball. It’s got the tp5 pix design with that added. Very soft ball. Loving it so far

On a whim I bought a dozen Piper balls online, and I must say I kinda like them.

I've seen their advertisements all over the Internet. I'm curious on the quality.

I got some TP5X practice from golf balls.com. The practice balls have a cosmetic flaw that does not hinder ball performance.

Titleist does the same thing with their "Tour/Practice" stamped ProV1s & ProV1Xs.

They're the range balls from PGA events. They're collected and then sold in bulk

I've got Cut Grey in my bag as well as Wilson Staff 50 Elite. Yeah, that's a cheap ball but it performs so well for me. Just can't quit it.

Oh, and a double dozen of Noodles for those days that were I'm losing balls by the bushel.

Nice. The tp5 pix I got on eBay came new. Can’t complain either way

I played an entire round with one ball and it held up well. Played again today with a sleeve and must admit I like them. Pretty sure I will buy more.

I'd like to try Piper but he problem is the price point. Why would I spend $30-35 on a dozen of the higher end Piper balls when I can get Maxfli or Snell or many others at the same or cheaper price?

That's why I gravitated to Cut balls. $20/dozen puts them in their own price category for a multi-layer urethane cover ball. If Piper was in that price point I'd definitely give them a go.

I looked at the website earlier today. My issue was there was a discount for subscribe and save but not ordering in bulk. That's what I liked about Vice when I ordered their new balls months ago. If you ordered 5 it came out to $25 a dozen.
