How many Golf Balls


Bogeygolfer55

Recommended Posts

Normally I carry 3-4 new sleeves and an undetermined number (from 10 to as many as 50) of used or found balls loose in my bag. This time of year in NJ the leaves are everywhere including a few in the fairway and playing a solo practice 9 holes last Sunday between the leaves and angle of the sun I lost 8 balls. If the weather cooperates I will empty out most of the loose balls from my bag before I pack it in for the cold weather.

I believe the AVX was the first premium urethane ball Titleist made in Yellow. I've got 2 doz of em.

In my Sunday bag, never more than 5..maybe a few more if I'm "testing" between 2 models (example: Q-Star Tour vs AVX, or ProV1 vs V1x) but never more than 9. In my regular bag I typically keep 9-12. Again, maybe more if I'm "testing" or have found some premium balls on the course.

The AVX was the first yellow urethane ball Titleist sold in the USA. More than a few of their surlyn covered balls have been available in yellow and orange going back to the early 1980's.

 

To answer the topic usually 12-15 balls.

Yup, you got it. That's what I meant and I've edited my response as such.

I check my bay the night before every round, usually a dozen. But if I'm playing difficult or new course, I'll add a few more.

My count for lost balls this year was 119. When one plays in the Mexico or Florida ones doesn't go looking in the jungle or ponds. Just Saying....

I usually have 18 balls in the bag. The main ball pocket (top front) has lose balls: 3 new balls and 3 used / water balls (in case I am having a bad day). I also keep a full dozen in the side pocket. Last year I played 2 brands so the dozen was a mix but as of this post, they are all the same brand and color.

Woods ____ Ping G410 3 & 5, Cleveland XL HALO 7
Hybrids ___ Titleist 818H1 5H
Irons ______ Titleist T300 6-GW
Wedges ___ Titleist Vokey SM9 52.08F & 56.10S
Putter _____ Odyssey Dual Force Rossie 2 or Rife 2-Bar w/ Nickel Putter Golf Ball Pick-Up
Ball _______  Titleist ProV1 Yellow

I think I counted 23 when I cleaned up my bag for the end of the season. There are a few sleeves of colored balls, some various balls I've picked up on the course, and some other odds and ends. The quest for the perfect ball for me continues, one sleeve at a time. I've learned that Vice aren't for me, e6's are better for me than V1's, and that Noodles were better for me as a Maxfli product. But, all 4 are floating 'round my bag, in varying states of used, with a smattering of freshies still in the box.

What's In The Bag?

I'm in the two sleeve camp. It might go up to 7-8 if I've splashed a couple and empty a new sleeve into the bag. I also started carrying one yellow ball for hitting a provisional. It comes in handy when you find your two balls relatively close together and one has a distinctly better lie....I can't remember, did I hit the Bridgestone 1 first or was it the B3?

Too many. Hard to pull brand new premium balls out that I find, even when they're not a brand I play.

Right now I have 3 TP5/X, 2 KSig 4pc, 5 Prov1/x, 2 FG Tour, 2 Tour B Rxs, and a couple of Chrome Soft.

I need to clean things up.
