All makers make balls in different price ranges. To look at a poll that shows that most would use Bridgestone, it is hard to tell if they are using the higher priced/mid priced/lower priced ball.

Select the price range use primarily use. Me, I am a cheap b@$!#rd so I refuse to spend more than $20 on a dozen balls and usually look for bargains like 15 or 24 balls in the $20 - $25 range.

How about you?

I could only click one choice in the poll, however I play two different levels, depending upon a number of different factors of which I won't bore you with. Let's just say I'm more selective as to when I use the more expensive ball. Primarily, I play the Bridgestone B330RXS which is a $45 ball, and the Bridgestone E5 2011 version, which is a $30 ball. I usually find specials and rarely pay full price for any golf balls.

I just switched to cheap balls: Callaway warbird. They are pretty hard balls, generating less spin than my previous weapon of choice. I hope that'll work better in the windy conditions that we've been fighting against for most of the season - certainly more than usual!

I never purchase new though, lakeballs all the way. At prices < $1 per ball (AAA condition) I don't complain.

I like the mid range balls,they play the best for my game. My favorites are taylormade burner tour and callaway diablo...

I'm back to using NIKE SFT and Crush balls this year after spending a year using the Srixon Soft Feel and Z-Star balls.

No reason for the switch from Srixon as I was really happy with them, but my BRAIN tells me I play better with NIKE balls because I coincidentally played a few good rounds with them at the end of last season and well.... you can't mess with your mental game and so I go with it! The president of NIKE is happy for my $20. Srixon may go bankrupt.

As a chea ... frugal golfer, I rarely pay for golf balls. One of my credit cards allows me to get a dozen now & then with my "points". I suppose technically I am paying for those but the card company gets -0- from me other than the balance due so I consider them a gift.

I also look to score new balls (i.e. the TaylorMade give away) through other channels and supplement the supply with foundlings.

I'm now gaming the Penta TPs. I used those when I did my club fittings for my irons & driver so I went out and bought a sleeve to try on the course. I liked them a lot, so I started bargain hunting.

Lot's of websites were doing buy 2 dozen get one free, but the Golf Warehouse (tgw.com) had that offer on top of Taylormade's choose your own number customization. So now I have 3 dozen (actually 2+ dozen - I've lost a few already ) Pentas with the number 15 on them.

I always buy recycled, so this is somewhat of a misleading question. I have no idea what new golf balls cost.

I've been playing Titleist x-outs from Wal-mart. $10/doz for DTs and NXTs.

When I can't find the x-outs, I play the Titleist DT SoLo at $20/doz.

I have 3 dozen Nike Karma's to try out, though, from a giveaway at the local golf shop.
