Hate # 4s and always seem to play bad with them but love the high numbers and especially number 8s. I have heard somewhere a rumor that in the old wound ball balata days - these were "better manufacturered" (but doubt that was true?) and do know some pros and low handicapers who swear by the high number series (and/or are "repped/comped" for Titliest balls and try to play the high numbers only).
Also, besides #8s, I feel lucky with #7s. I remember one manufacturer used to put 30 plus numbers (maybe they still do but I am pretty loyal to certain brands) and thought that was a nice idea.
What are your favorite and least favorite numbers?
Also I always use a green thick tip permament marker these days to mark my ball -anyone using a very strange color? (One of my friends uses pink and writes Bubba on the ball even though he cannot hit it past anyone but dreams of doing so)
