I agree with the Z-Star SL's. I have a couple dozen of those to use this year, as well as 3 dozen Callaway HX Diablo Tours and a couple dozen Srixon Tr--Speed Tours. All of my Srixon balls are the bright yellow versions. I really like them in the spring after a long winter off. It seems easier to follow them off the club and in the air than the white balls when we first start playing each spring.
Your 2016 golf ball
TF d2+ feel, Snell MTB, and Maxfli u6 LC (original model).
Srixon Tri Speed Tour , still have about 3 dozen left and Callaway Diablo ( Have a dozen I won as a door prize at an outing)
mcflog I was curious about this ball. I see them for $7.96 at budgetgolf.com and was going to pull the trigger on a few dozen. Where did you get them for $6.00, if you do not mind me asking?
Like a lot have already mentioned, I usually go for the best price. I score the same regardless of the ball I'm using.
Bridgestone E6 got me, they just flat out work.
Srixon Soft Feel. Have a few 15 packs I picked up for $19.99. Works well with my low 90's swing speed. Feels softer than it's 73 compression. Have some Srixon Tri Speed Tours and Q Stars also. Both are nice also, but with a firmer feel.
Pinnacle Gold Distance. I may check out the newer versions out now. Like the price, know how they feel and work well for me.
I am going to see if I can find more Callaway HX Bites. Does not stop like a urethane ball but does everything else well. Good value.
If money were no object, z star xv or pro VX, real talk, wtf ever is in the bag that day.

rock bottom had a sale couple weeks back
Whatever i seem to find. I find way more than i lose. Some are great some arent. The ones i wont play go in the kids bag.
Same that I've been playing the last couple of years. Top Flite D2 Feels.
The other day I played, pretty windy and I was putting a Chrome Soft up against a Super Soft Callaway...No difference downwind on the drive, iron shots the super soft had a problem holding the green, also the super soft comes off the putter hotter. But, the real surprise was driving into the wind, the super soft was 20 yards longer. Three different tee shots into the wind with driver and the super soft was long...go figure.
Cally SuperSoft and Top-Flite xl distance (in yellow) are my go-tos.
But am testing out the Snell MTB and ProV1, and ProV1x.
I'm currently in the process of depleting some overstock inventory, mostly ProV1/ProV1X that I've had sitting around for a couple years. Also some Srixon Z-Stars, and give or take a dozen or so Bridgestone B330RXS.
For the price - the Srixon Z-Star 3-pc is a really good bargain, great performer and probably the most durable ball on the market. I'm particularly fond of the Yellow - I don't have to worry too much about someone mistakenly hitting my ball or vice-versa, although obviously I still mark it for identification purposes just in case.
I played in a regional match last Sunday, mid-40 degree temps, light wind. It wasn't overly pleasant whatsoever. But that yellow Srixon really held its own. I shot 73 and really only missed two shots on the day with it. I think it's one of the straighter balls off the tee, great distance, soft feel, and offers excellent control on chips and pitch shots around the green.
I've tried the Callaway Chrome Soft - like it. But not sure there's $10 difference in performance between a box of those and the Srixon Z-Star to be honest.
