I probably should have mentioned. what i am looking for are budget golf balls.

You don't get much more "budget" than the Top Flites. D2/Freak = 15 balls for $15. [u][b][i]They may even pay YOU to take the XL 2000 off their hands.:rolleyes:[/i][/b][/u]

The Cally Diablo Tour is about $25 (ish)

Made me giggle but I think you may be right.

These are the dumbest threads.....longest this, best this, most forgiving this....they don't exist....every piece of equipment is different for everyone....

He asked for a specific requirement not best at everything just raw distance for a scramble.

Pinnacle Gold gets my vote.

No need to buy as they frequent an area found 225-250 yards out on either side of the fairway.

You chose the wrong thread to rant, if it was a thread about an iron being long I'd agree...

My first 300 yard drive saturday was with a cheap old top flight.

I need every yard I can get and suggest the Titleist NXT Extreme or the Callaway Pearl. I get about 5 yards more with the Nike Vapor Speed and 2011 Bridgestone E6, but they feel too light.

Hey, for cheap, can't beat the $9.99 15-pack Top Flite XL Straight Distance at Wally World. They're even available in yellow.

I hit these suckers far, and they're not even as "Rock Flight" as they used to be. Firm yes, but they go like stink.

Slazenger Raw Distance. I picked up a box of 16 balls for 8 bucks at Golf Galaxy for a scramble. Ball does nothing but go long and straight.

Why not play the ball they use in long drive competitions? I think is a slazenger raw distance, but I could be wrong

Slazenger Raw Distance by far. Probably get another 10 yards from typical playing ball i.e.(Prov1).

I bought a 24 pack of Slazenger Raw Distance Extreme. I topped my best drive of the year by an easy ten yards... I am a believer for scrambles. Plus they are cheap enough if you slam one into the wilderness you won't feel bad leaving it there. I hate seeing people ball hunting in scrambles.

No love for the old Cally Warbird?

That thing goes miles for me. Heck, it's even been known to keep going long after you want it to stop. It feels like it's made of iron, but if you can get past that it's a long ball. Cheap and easy to find too.

I also agree on the Pinnacle Gold Distance. Feel like crap, fly real far.
