Titleist Pro V1

Advantages: Great name in golf balls
Disadvantages: Not really for high handicappers

...I'm not really into the science of golf balls, all I know is that there are good balls and not so good balls. I wouldn't play with golf balls that cost 20p per ball such as Donnay because they don't feel nice to hit and yes on the golf course you just don't use Donnay to play low rounds and in tourneys. I tried a titleist Pro V1X today in a Stableford tourney off white tees so I had a little extra yardage to play, I mostly use Titleist PTS Solo because they are designed for mid to high handicappers, and I can hit them, so they work for me.

...you can find them for less. This is downfall of the Pro V1 but the performance levels are significanly better than onther ball, appart from the Bridgestome B330's (as they are exactly the same ball just with a differnt name) My advice would be, If you have the money to spare go for these balls as the all over perfomance is outstanding....
