I've started golfing here in the past couple years. I'm enjoying the game and the more I play the more I wonder about the balls. I understand balls don't make you better if you suck -- but I don't want to be hindering my game.
I know guys that swear by the Pro V1s but I don't see them as worth the cost (plus I still lose a few balls around and I don't want to just throw that away). Are there really differences between the balls? What do you all play with?
Whats best for you really depends on your game...your swing speed...in general, folks who really understand ball construction favor Srixon...the bulk of the pros play Titelist but then again a) their pros and b) they are paid to play Titelist...play a box of Srixons (closer to twenty bucks a dozen) and see what you think (I also like a Callaway ball...since I'm like a 90 only in swing speed, I tend to play a softer ball)

Titelist NXT Tours are good. Anything with 3 piece construction and a urethane cover is good, the cheaper the better. Also look for older models like Precept U-Tri extra distance, has a urethane cover so it's great off short irons and long off the tee.
The pro-v1's are by far the best ball out there, they give good distance off the tee and are super soft on the greens. If you can hit the ball at least semi decent then the Titleist is the way to go.

Go with the Maxfli Fires. They are the poor man's ProV1s. You can find them for $15-$20 a box.
Callaway HX Tour, Pro V1's, Loco's
Whatever Wal-Mart sells for like $10/30 pack. Good enough - don't believe the marketing hype. You can always look for nicer balls in water hazards and the rough.
Free ones.
Always rub your balls on the tee to warm them up.
