Good balls at decent price

[noren]

Looking for balls to replace TM lethal. I know TM has the new tour preferred to replace them but can't justify paying $40+ for a dozen.

Anyone used to play lethal and replaced it with something similar or can suggest any?

[Johnny Canuck]

A lot have moved from the lethal to the tour preferred x.

Can be had for $109 for 3 dz at golf clearance warehouse I believe.

[hippo10]

I've gone to the Srixon z-star at $30 a box.

[s12raider]

Or at gcw they have 3 doz grade 1 (whatever you take from that to mean) at $49 for 3doz

[s12raider]

I mean 3dz lethals at $49

[Icestorm959]

Srixon Z-stars, 3 dozen for $78, buy from Golfbox use the $100 off for $400 spent voucher, works out to be about $20 a dozen for brand new top quality full urethane balls.

Gamed them over the last couple of weeks and definitely performed up to expectation.

Bluu balls had a good price on b330s balls today

[mrbluu]

Bluu balls had a good price on b330s balls today

Only one box mate and that was for u.

[Coldtopper]

I made the switch to b330's ! A better ball than the lethal imo!
I recall selling pro V's and hogan's for 80 a doz a decade ago just saying.

[noren]

I have gamed the B330-S. Not too bad but seems to come off the putter face a bit firmer than the lethal.
Haven't tried the Z-Star, maybe I grab a sleeve and give them a good. Maybe just my imagination but always felt that Sirxion ball are heavier.

CT - $80 a box, yeah just crazy.

[Matt 3 Jab]

GCO have nike 20XI s balls for $22 a doz

Got myself 5 doz and I'm sure they'll be fine to game

[FuzzyJuzzy]

GCO have nike 20XI s balls for $22 a doz

Good price for a ball that's certainly good enough to game today - even with it being the 2012 model. I loaded up on seven dozen of these at that price from GCO a few months ago and still using them:).

[yoyo]

If price point is a main issue for you then Z-Stars are likely to be your best option IMO

[benno_r]

I'll add to the consensus about the Golfbox Z-Star deal. Used them for the first time at Peregian Springs last Monday, and they were very good. Still prefer the TP, but these aren't far off.

Probably highlights that all the premo pills are pretty damn good!

You mean 330 or 330-S?

[noren]

I see GCO have z star on special as well but they are 2012 vintage. Does golf balls have a used by date? Do they perform differently as they age (though still boxed)?

[pauly]

maybe if they were a decade old?
it's not like the boxed ones in your local pro shop are fresh off the press

was under the impression http://www.golfbox.com.au/Srixon-Z-Star-XV-3-Dozen-Golf-Balls-White_p_215216.html those off golfbox were the latest?

[KristianJ]

Still plenty of Lethals at Penny Golf Factory for $29/doz if you feel like a leisurely drive out towards the foot of the mountains.

Noz, if u know any local red head panthers supporter that is not adverse to a game at Cabra that can hook you up that would be awesome ;-)

hmm haven't tried the new TP balls yet but that is tempting ....

[KristianJ]

And when would that be doable next? :D

[mrbluu]

And when would that be doable next? :D Noren, organise a game at Cabra and the lethals will come ;-)

[noren]

And when would that be doable next? :D
What would you prefer? Wednesday or Sunday?

[sheezymaneezy]

A-Mart had 20XI's for $20 a box the other day when I went in.

[KristianJ]

What would you prefer? Wednesday or Sunday?
Sunday...but wouldn't be able to get over until 24th.

[noren]

Sunday...but wouldn't be able to get over until 24th.
No worries. Will pm time and date. Early or late [emoji2]

Callaway supersofts are great for the price (and perfect when the greens are soft)

[Lagerlover]

Callaway supersofts are great for the price (and perfect when the greens are soft) Gold Coast Cuuntry Club have a Holden Scramble on soon if interested..

[Ron Burgundy]

Have any of you guys tried the TM project a? Sooner or later I'll run out of lethals and being a chopper these seem to be marketed right at me.

[Coldtopper]

You mean 330 or 330-S? The tour 330 14 is the one for me atm. They both feel similar but because feel is not important (Im a shit pitcher) I like the 330. They feel better off the flat stick imo. And when the big kahuna bomb is on they rip get a good flight when chasing one!

[mrbluu]

Yes and they are a cheap 3 piece ball, nothing like the lethal or any premo ball

[talbo]

Cheers, will have to give it a go sometime soon.

[meh]

They are ok, but you would definitely be better off getting the tp for a little more. That said, they are still better than a 2012 bridgestone!

[Ron Burgundy]

Nice one. Thanks for the heads up.

[armitage]

B330 or the Z-stars.

[3oneday]

Have any of you guys tried the TM project a? Sooner or later I'll run out of lethals and being a chopper these seem to be marketed right at me.used one of these satdy, I quite liked it. My mate had grabbed some for $23 a dozen but didn't like them. I'd happily use them.

[Daves]

I got given some Callaway Supersofts to try. Quite liked them, certainly very soft, plenty long and seemed to spin enough to be useful around the greens.

I have a dozen sitting in my car from scramble day , I didn't even think to try them as generally you get some sort of rock on those days given to you. May have to give one a whirl..

Yep, got mine from a Scramble as well and thought the same. These are super soft as per their name, and very low compression apparently. They actually mark up a little easier than my normal ball, but otherwise the feel is very good.

[hippo10]

I was very surprised with the supersofts. Actually a nice ball to use from a scramble day!

[noren]

Been meaning to try them too, but have stocked up on the TM lethal. Got a couple box of the TM tour preferred x at a decent price via alla golf box voucher. Hopefully by the time I run of my current supply the TM tour preferred isn't too expensive.

[nadg63]

I was very surprised with the supersofts. Actually a nice ball to use from a scramble day!

Hmmm, I got a couple of sleeves of those at a Scramble, better look for them and give them a go!

[Ferrins]

So what is the value premium ball atm?

[Wenz]

I may be a little bias, but for $39 per doz. The Taylormade TPx is a great ball.
Ever since the dollar went to shit, it's bumpes up the price of balls drastically.

[Wenz]

That $39 is current DG price, you could get stuff cheaper through golfbox using codes from this site.

[mrbluu]

TM TPx or TP balls are my favorites. Lethals are good too if u can still get them.

[aussieashley]

+1 for the TM TPx
2doz for $85 on GolfBox. Grab 4 doz for $170 and use a $30 off $150 code = $140. $35/dozen.

[Hutchy]

New for the market.

Check out vice golf, more you buy less they get, good as titleist, designed in germany and sold world wide with no middle man.

Direct from company, ship $7 for 4 doz, outstanding ball @ any price.

[rick3003]

I'm using Q star at the moment and to me they go as good as most balls, they are lower spin and seem to fly straighter... They still stop on full shots just need to get used to a little roll out when chipping.
$49 for 3 dozen is hard to beat

Thinking of giving these a go. Can you back them up if needed?

[Ferrins]

Got to say I'm a Srixon soft feel fan

[rick3003]

I wouldn't say they back up, more hit and stop... really underrated ball and longer than a z star...

[driftn69]

Has anyone tried the Callaway Diablo tours on sale at Golfbox atm. The reviews seem to be really good but $49 for 3 dozen says otherwise for a tour ball.

[mrbluu]

Got to say I'm a Srixon soft feel fan

Are they the same as Q Stars?? Golfbox have them very cheap.

Here is the website for Penrith Golf Factory if you want Lethals. http://www.thegolffactory.com.au/shop/

[Ferrins]

Q Stars are crappola.

[mrbluu]

Q Stars are crappola.

They also have Z Stars for $26

[Ferrins]

They also have Z Stars for $26

I don't see that.

[Matt 3 Jab]

2014 model. Good price really

[hippo10]

I'm liking the TM project (a) for $30/dozen. I can't really tell any difference between them and the TM TP.

[wizard_of_oz]

Q Stars are crappola. Tend to agree, and this applies to most of these 2 piece cheap balls. They don't check on shots around the green so it's pretty useless for tight pins or if you're short sided. Full approach shots are fine, they land near where the pitch mark is, but definitely no spin back.

[Ferrins]

I enjoyed playing a tour preffered the other day.

[Hatchman]

I'm liking the TM project (a) for $30/dozen. I can't really tell any difference between them and the TM TP.

Just bought some to try. I hope to be reporting the same thing after use.

Been using ProV's from club winnings and have 2 TPX's left from a doz bought in Feb. TPX is good but I don't think they are as good as the Penta 5's or maybe that's just perception as I was striking it much better back then.

[markTHEblake]

These things spin more than the old balata's used to.

[Daves]

GCO have them for $45 for 3 doz.

[Ferrins]

Just checked and they're suited to a mid to high handicapper so no good to me.😀

[KristianJ]

The old Chrome + for $25 at the Golf Factory are also great value. I think I still have a dozen or 2 of them stashed away somewhere in the drawer of my desk where I tend to let them accumulate.

[Matt 3 Jab]

Might have missed it but how are the chrome soft??

[Bitter]

I am still loving the Vice Pro! Might go for the shooter next time as they are the same ball but have a cool looking gun on them.

[Hutchy]

Ah, good to see other using these already. Have you tried the pro plus yet?

[Bitter]

Ah, good to see other using these already. Have you tried the pro plus yet?

No not as of yet? Didn't know there was such a thing? Will have a look when next ordering.

[wazamac]

Just been to the website but can't find a pro plus. They have a sample set which sounds like a good idea for $25. Might have to give them a go when I next need some.

[Hutchy]

The pro Plus are on the US vice site, gota send email and request. they are equivalent to Prov1x

What cap you play waza, wouldn't bother with the sample, 6 are distance balls with no spin. Pro plus are good with decent green side spin and great off the driver.

[wazamac]

I'm off 9 but not a very long hitter by any stretch. I try and play more consistantly than length.

[Hatchman]

No not as of yet? Didn't know there was such a thing? Will have a look when next ordering.

Did you order these through their Australian website.
What was a doz pills plus postage for the Pro's? PayPal payment?

[Bitter]

Yes from Aus website and delivered the next day. Can't remember what I paid for 2 doz but if anyone is keen on group by of 60 balls which is the cheapest rate and free postage I will put the $$$ up front and we agree on shared price including delivery out to yourselves? Let me know if keen and we can work out pricing?

[Hutchy]

Pro plus are ideal. very good dispersion.

Going to see how these TM Project (a)'s are first.

[Matt 3 Jab]

Bitter I'm in for balls. Prov1x or the like would be good. If not the prov1

[Hutchy]

Mr Murray.

Vice will custom any pic you can send, I mean anything.

[Bitter]

Bitter I'm in for balls. Prov1x or the like would be good. If not the prov1

No worries, I will see if my bro in law is keen then we don't need to send anywhere once I get them.

[Hatchman]

Happy with the TM Project (a) today.
Course is too wet and water logged to know exactly how the pitch & chip shots are checking up.
Have to wait for dryer conditions for that.

[noren]

The old z star are quite good for the price though I find that I get more feedback from the tm tour preferred. However they both don't float so with the price difference I get an extra box of the z star to hit into the water.

The vice ball sounds intriguing going to check them out. Would be interested the next group buy.

[oldracer]

Might have missed it but how are the chrome soft??really like them, don't spin like ProV which is great for me, hold up very well and I find them great to putt with, having said all that I should be in singles but I'm not :(

[Jazz18]

Played with a guy today who was playing a foremost ball. Low marker. He said he couldn't tell the difference between it and pro v's so went with it. Can be had for $81 for three dozen on the foremost website.

They are great J, mate (client) of mine owns the company out of Taiwan...Jeremy, very nice fella. Will be giving them a run soon.

[Hutchy]

Made in the same facility as vice amongst others.

Sample packs available for half doz of each.

V1 and V1X style.

[Matt 3 Jab]

The foremost balls look really good and for $27 a doz seem really good value!

[markTHEblake]

They are great J, mate (client) of mine owns the company out of Taiwan...Jeremy, very nice fella. Will be giving them a run soon. And as you said Foremost makes the Vice balls and a bunch of others. I have tried the Foremost ball and thought it was Ok. As best I can tell though, the latest ball products from Foremost are around 3-4 years old, is that about right?

[KristianJ]

I bought a few dozen Pro Tour X4s with some pro shop credit last year and still have a sleeve or 2. Very decent ball, although with what I have available up the road at the Golf Factory I would probably only buy more if the pro shop was selling them at the price.

[Hutchy]

Will ask him Tomoro when back on the workline. Could be but as I said haven't used them yet, like most things Time will tell.

[markTHEblake]

I can't remember where I got that info from, it was a while ago, Maybe from a 3rd party review that had a date on it. Not necessarily a bad thing, for all we know the big brands that releases new model every two years may not really be new technology.

[Scifisicko]

Yes and they are a cheap 3 piece ball, nothing like the lethal or any premo ball

ProV1 is 3 piece

[mrbluu]

ProV1 is 3 piece
But they are not cheap and I don't use them so what's your point??

[mrbluu]

The foremost balls look really good and for $27 a doz seem really good value!

I got some of the foremost balls when they were free. Decent ball but didn't think they went as long as a TP5 or Lethal I was using at the time. Also I think it was around $50-60posted for a dozen when the TM balls were around $30

[driftn69]

Im still yet to loose a NIKE MOJO. Every time i have a mishit its with a TM or Callaway mid range ball. Its like i am jinxed to have to use a MOJO.

[Hatchman]

Happy with the TM Project (a) today.
Course is too wet and water logged to know exactly how the pitch & chip shots are checking up.
Have to wait for dryer conditions for that.

It's been dry the last 2 games at home.
The Project (a)'s have fallen short for the touch around the green that I get from the TM TPX's and ProV1's.
Will be gaming ProV1's for club champs in 2 weeks time.
Will save the remainder of the Project (a)'s for the hot moths when we let the greens get a bit longer and slower so the don't burn off.

[Matt 3 Jab]

Seriously impressed with the Callaway Chrome Soft i played today. Best feeling ball ive played in a while as i love softer feeling golf balls but they usually spin too much. This ball went great, maybe a touch longer than the srixon z star xv, but spun as much on full shots and i feel the same around the greens, maybe 10% less, but didnt really effect my game. Great great pill which i now need to try and find as the golf club doesnt stock them

[Captain Nemo]

Also I think it was around $50-60posted for a dozen when the TM balls were around $30I agree, there are better balls to be had cheaply. Just get the premo used packs from Squizzys.

[Ferrins]

Looking at the TM TouR Preferred, is the X the better ball?

[Wenz]

Looking at the TM TouR Preferred, is the X the better ball?
X is far better.

[Matt 3 Jab]

X is far better.
Agreed. The X didn't spin for me at all but

[BenM]

I have been using the TPs for ages but they do spin quite a lot.... I don't hit it particularly high but I have jizzed a fair few balls off the front of greens. Going to buy the X next time round.
