Re: Distance-do balls make a big difference?

I have only used the distance XL3000s a couple times but I used the softs and spins - plenty of distance still and the same price (about $1/ball or less.) If you are looking for premium balls, you can get Titleist Pro V1 which is even better, but of course, the better the ball, the higher the price. The best bang for the buck would be, in my opinion, Top Flite.

Also, look for 'expereinced' balls. If you can find good premium balls in AA or AAA condition you are only paying about 1/2 retail. There is minimal performance issues since they were probably only hit 1 - 5 times before they were lost.
