Now the Nike has decided they are too good for the golf game I can no longer hit my Nike balls and am in need of some new ones to hit.

Obviously I know Titelist is the # 1 choice but I just am not good enough for them...

I was thinking maybe the new Taylor Mades?

I hit Titleist NXT Tour, but I have 2 dozen ProV1's in my basement I need to start playing with.

I also thought about the NXT Tour since they are less expensive of the bunch (I believe) but I still am not good enough to use those

Forgot about those... Are they really that good? I know they are cheap
wish I knew. They are certainly cheap enough and with the way they fly off the shelves, there has to be something good about them, right?

I have heard good things about Bridgestone though. If I were to change, I would go with them.

heh, me neither, but I still do.

I don't lose balls at a ridiculous clip these days and can sometimes get through an entire round with one ball, but I don't think I can feel a difference hitting one ball vs another.

Yeah the last time I played I only lost 2 balls (though the 2nd one was lost in the damn fairway!) but I know if I were to play Titelist I'd lose a bunch

pretty much why the ProVs haven't made their way out yet. No point having them sit in the basement though.

Very true, they don't accrue any value.

Asked a guy on my golf team who works at Costco about them...he'd never heard of 'em.

I think they are new within the last year or two

they came out with them last winter and sold out pretty quickly. People are trying to resell them on eBay for ridiculous amounts, but I won't pay that.

Yeah, they're cheap. Those are for guys like me who don't wanna shell out for an expensive ball that will wind up as a gift to the fishes or the wood sprites anyway

Edit: At least they WERE cheap. Amazon is selling them for 3$ a piece. The newer ones are going to be made by the same manufacturer but they aren't exactly like the first batch, so who know how they will perform - or how much Costco will sell them for this time around.

Then he is a dip shit, which is unusual because we hire good people. I work for Costco and have never seen them because they are always sold out before I get to my work.

Plus it is all over any (non official)Costco facebook accounts.

I am sure I could mention them to the guys on my golf team and they wouldn't know shit about them either.

We also don't have a local Costco, so finding them would be impossible for me.
