I use Callaway Warbirds - £11.99 a dozen and not bad at all.

Certainly the best budget ball, and on a par with Srixon Softfeel and AD333

I've just bought a box of 12 pearl Callaway HX hot lake balls from my local tescos for £9! They also had the callaway reds and some nike balls. I think that'd be a good way to try out some different balls!

Hmmm, you'd be amazed how many amateurs start with Pro-V1's decide that they need to find out more for themselves go through taylormade, nike, bridgestone, callaways, and after some very expensive tinkering end up back with a more convinced view of the Pro V1's.

I'd support Creo's view that most top amateurs have been through this loop and ended where they started. 

I'd also point anyone with a strong view towards Jack Nicklaus and his assessment.  If you control your distance/shot selection with spin, then the ball is vital to you.  If you control it with trajectory, then the ball will make much less difference.  So have a think.

Sorry, slipping into ebay jargon mode there! By pearl I meant that they were in 'as new' condition!

However having now just played (very badly!) with them I have decided I prefer the So/LO's I was using before!

I'd offer them up for people on here, but I *cough, ough*haven't got many left *cough, cough*

 (It was bloody windy out there today!)
