I really hate loosing balls I paid for, so for the longest time I just played whatever balls I found. I'd have 3 various balls in my pocket and whatever one came out at the tee box is the one I played that hole. As I got better, with a more consistent putter stroke I found that speed control is very difficult when switching from soft balls, to hard balls, from ProV1's to Supersofts, to Topflight Distance XL. At first I thought I was imagining it, but I'm sure these balls come off the putter face with different speeds assuming the same stroke.
What's more is that they also come off the wedge face at different speeds, and land with more or less check depending on the ball.
I just play casual rounds with friends, so I started playing whatever from tee to chipping then pull a ball that I practice with out of my pocket to chip and putt with. This works great, but I do get some flack from my friends about it sometimes, plus it now seems like distance control is also different enough to matter from ball to ball.
So, after all that,.. here's my question. In casual rounds, do you play balls you find? Or do you use a single type and brand of ball?
Thank you,
