Mine was the Wilson Staff PX3. Unlike many others I did not find it's successors (Zip, C25, etc) to be quite the same. I have played the 50 Elite yellow most of the last two years and will go with the Duo yellow this year and the next coupe of years (I have stocked up).

Wilson had a ball back in late 80's or early 90's. Can't remember the name(might have just been called the Wilson Staff) but that was my favorite by far. Also have liked the Titleist Professional and my recent fave has been the TP Red.
[/quote]Wilson staff TC I think... Great ball !!!!!!!!!!!! I remember having to pick to cover of the ball out of the grooves of my TM ICW11's
The Titleist professional 90's and 100's just awesome

2005 ProV1x and Project 5/Lethal. No question. The Lethal is amazing - low-mid spin off the driver, fantastic feel across the board, and perfect around the greens.

Either the 2009 or current ProV1x, nothing gives me the same performance throughout the bag.

2013 ProV1.

I'd rather play that ball than any other of the many, many balls I've used or tried. The reasons it is not the ball I use now are:

1) It costs $4/ball. Even buying on a 4-for-3 dozen deal or similar "bargain" it will cost $2.50-$3.00/ball.
2) It does not come in a yellow color and over time I've come to really, seriously prefer the easy visibility of a yellow ball.
3) I do not practice my wedge game enough to get consistent behavior out of a "Tour" ball on partial shots around the green.

In all honestly, the $4/ball is the main reason. I paid well under $1/ball for my stash of yellow DT Solo X-outs and if I spend much more than that I find myself spending extra time looking for lost balls, worrying about hitting over water hazards and otherwise fretting over the prospect of an expensive golf ball being gone. Golf's a hard enough game without treating Every Ball As Sacred.

But if I went back to spending my lunch hour a couple times a month practicing my wedge game and could get use all the performance of a "Tour" ball I'd play the 2013 ProV1 regardless of cost of "whiteness".

I'll bite.

The Callaway-made TopFlite Gamer V2 is my all-time favorite. If it was still made by Callaway (the Dick's version gets mixed reviews) and came in yellow (see avatar) it would still be the ball in my bag.

My favorite ball was the old Accushnet Club Special. It was a cheapie ball back in the 1960's and just thinking of it takes me back to a time when I was a kid just learning the game and life was so much simpler!

That brings back memories. I got my first hole in one with a Club Special as a kid. A decent ball in its day.

The first ProV1X... it was a revolution and it was long. I don't care if it was legal or not,

Pro v1. I live on the Monterey Peninsula and you know how windy it can get. The Pro V still maintains a penetrating ball flight. Simply the best. For cheaper balls I like the Pinnacle Exception.

Just like mentioned previously. If it was still made by Callaway the [u][b]Top Flite Gamer V2[/b][/u]. It fit my game just fine compared to price. Great ball. My dad just went 2 sleeves down and I will use them wisely.
