I love the PD Soft. It's my main ball. I also play the NXT Tour. The NXT Tour is longer but the PD Soft feels great on the irons and especially the putter. The PDS seems to stick the greens pretty well for me on full wedge shots and releases a bit on regular iron / hybrid shots into a green. Great value for $15 per dozen.

Finding the right ball is kind of like dating. You might have to put a lot of different girls into play to find the right one but once you do, you know it! At least I hope so.

I am still looking for miss right myself.

Off your list tho, I found a couple srixon soft feels and although they felt kind of meh to me, the results were not bad. Several offline shots were much closer to the green or fairway than I expected them to be, same for distance. Looking forward to wining andndining some gamer v2's though

For those who have played many different balls, which one of these 3 would you play if you was me. I have a club speed over 100. I shoot in the 90's. And Im looking for a ball under $20. Ive recently been playing TP straight ($9.97) for 15. THese things are rough around the green and seem to loose speed when hit off the tee... My goals for a ball are to be moderately long off the tee and moderately soft around the greens.. I talked with a golf pro today at the shop, and I told him i was looking at the srixon ad333 and he said it was a hard ball, and that he suggested the srixon soft.. I know what Im asking fits the 3 piece balls more, but the way I lose balls this isnt an option...

Of that group the diablo tour is hard to beat for your cap. Its long mid high flight and holds greens pretty well. Around the green not as good as urethane but pretty good.

Another vote for the Gamer V2. I feel it is the best ball at its pricepoint. Good spin on shortish pitch shots and good feel off the other clubs. Good distance to boot off the driver.

Another vote to for the Gamer V2.

Based soley on all the reviews from this site, I switched to it when it got cold and have been very happy with the performance. Great distance, decent spin, and felt good off the putter. The only adjustment I made was allowing more run out on your chips & pitches, though that was expected.

The hardest step is actually purchasing a Top-flite ball. Even my regular clerk at Golfsmith went "Top Flite?", and gave me a strange one-eyed look when I checked out. Ok, maybe imagined I the look, but it still felt like a weird transcation.

If you go the top-flite route they will usually put them in a plain brown paper bag for you.

If/when the stream of $10/dozen Gamer V2s runs out (and I blow through the company logo Mojos and PD Longs from my last job over the winter), I'll probably go with either the MG 380E or recycled low-end Bridgestones (e6, Fixx, etc). I just got back into the game this summer and started out with a dozen Noodle+ Easy Distance and they were great for the first few rounds, but as my swing speed came back they started to baloon noticably.... but I would surely check them out for anyone in the reccomended <85mph swing speed range.

I'm a big fan on the Srixon Trispeed line, for me they has been long of the tee and since most times I prefer a bump and run short game around the greens this has been great for me and the putting is soft and true with Trispeeds. Next up I would suggest the Cally Diablo Tours' or Srixon AD333. I also use to like the TM Burner TP (the ones in the silver box) but I'm not sure what the latest Burner line is for performance.

I've posted this link in a few threads when I see someone likes the Trispeeds. Golfballnut has them NEW for under $15. I bought some of the non-Tours before they lowered the price on the Tours to $14.84. No problem with the order. Reasonable shipping too. They currently show 7 dozen New Trispeed Tours remaining. Go get 'em.
