    Golf Balls - Value + Performance

    Just like to get some opinions on value golf balls. Something that's a good mix of feel and distance + durability. Most of the time I play the Pinnacle Exception. Top Flite? A non-premium Titleist?

    Just like some opinions.

    I like the Wilson 50/50 and the Top Flite Gamer myself, especially the Wilson. I think they're on special at GT for $12/dzn? Every company makes a decent mid level ball these days though, play a bunch and find what you like.

    I love the Top Flite D2 Feel. Great ball for the price (about $1 a ball).
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    The 50/50 is on sale. Is it a hard ball? It's priced the same as a warbird, actually cheaper, and the warbird is a rock.

    The 50 is a very soft core ball. The cover is also pretty "sticky" for lack of a better term. It's not urethane like the premium balls but on full shots it spins quite well.

    It's my two-piece ball of choice when conditions are iffy like early/late in the season.
    Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

    It's way softer than the warbird. Not comparable at all, IMO.
