Fraggle,
Early on in your golfing experience more is better, and what kind they are doesn't matter. That was my phylosophy early on. I bought bags of used balls or ebay auctions 100 at a time. When your game gets better then you get into your swing trajectory vs flight trajectory. Every ball is made to fly a little different.
For example, I play 2 balls, a Maxfli noodle Spin for high shots and
Titleist Pro V1x for regular shots. The Maxfli's clear the water better on par 3's. They stop the same. The old Maxfli Noodle ran a little after it landed.
Like the diary!!!
