I am getting low on the Pro V1s I bought a couple years back. I need the 1xs but I also really like the Callaway's and sometimes 330s.

What is currently the best deal on balls?

Dean Snell was a developer for many years at Titleist when the Pro V' s were developed and then at Taylor Made when their tour balls were developed. He now has his own company and sells direct. His tour ball is under $160 for 6 dozen and his lower spin ball is $85 for 6 dozen. They ship free in the US.

The Prov1 Practice balls are the best deal but you have to buy them in person so you can mix and match the V1s and V1x to your liking. The last time I bought some they were all the 2015 model. They are $29.99 at *****.

The Practice ball is conforming. The X-outs are not. Sometimes you can find some odd versions of them. I found some Pro v1+ last time and took 3 of them just for fun.

This might sound ridiculous but I've been reading some interesting things on Costco "Kirkland Signature" balls.

http://m.costco.com/Kirkland-Signature-Four-Piece-Urethane-Cover-Golf-Ball%2c-2-dozen.product.100310467.html

Some folks comparing them to the B330. I'll pick up a couple dozen ($30) just to give them a shot.

What does that mean, "the xouts are not conforming"?

X-outs have some degree of a defect in them. Could be the printing, could be more substantial than that, so in a sanctioned tournament they would not be legal.

Practice balls have simply been stamped with "practice" and are what the pros use on the driving ranges at tournaments. Other than the stamping, they are the same ball and conform to USGA rules.

Should a 100-110 beginner worry at all about what kind of ball he's hitting? Because right now I'm hitting whatever in my bag looks the newest.

Yep. That being said, I cannot remember ever noticing an x out playing different than a regular ball. A lot of times you can see cosmetically why it ended up as an x out. It's usually in the printing somewhere. Titleist would not put a ball on the market that would not perform. Rarely would you have an x out that doesn't go as straight, far, etc.

True statement. I think it is considered non-conforming simply because it is defective.

Short answer: No


Once you are a little more comfortable try to pick a ball and stick with it. (Cheap is fine. I prefer to spend the same money and by used.) It will help your scoring because it will behave consistently around the green and with approach shots. At least try to stay with similar type balls. The more you play you will discover your preference.

Cool makes sense.

I second the Kirklands from Costco, Played so close to a ProV1X that if they where both completely white, I probably couldn't tell the difference.
