I found 1 last month and its one of the best feeling balls ive ever hit. Ive gone and bought some with the money i got from selling my pro V1`s. I`d had them in the cupboard for yonks cos i hate them, cant stand the colour and feel. I really liked putting with the XL3000, felt really good off the putter.

I've got some huge props to give these balls seeing as I hit my first and only hole in one with one. How can I say anything bad about them?

For the price they are pretty good. I'm not good enough to pay 60-70 bucks on balls. Well not yet They have good feel and go pretty far.

Where are you paying $60 or $70 bucks for balls

For a minimal finders fee, I can direct you to where you can get some Pro V1's for just under $40.

Interesting. The poll has 1 good, 1 fair, 2 No Way, yet all the comments are fairly positive. I have not hit the XL3000 but I have used the XL2000. I will be honest with you. I bought them strictly because Academy was selling an 18-pack for $6.86! Since I am just getting started again that looked pretty good to me! Turns out they hit quite well and don't have bad feel, ie, they don't feel like hitting a rock. I have no problem with them and bought a couple more packs just in time. They are all gone now. When I feel like I am getting my game back, perhaps I will try something else. I use to LOVE Titleists. I'm talking the old original ones with the balata cover that you could actually cut if you hit it badly.

I really liked the XL3000 soft feel. But Top Flite keeps changing their balls, so I have switched to the Srxion AD333. This one is a keeper,maybe. BTW--if price is an issue for balls(it is for me,too), try lostgolfballs.com. Excellent balls and an even more excellent price.

Oh, I'm not that price sensitive. I would happily pay $30-40 if I were playing that well right now. But playing something like ProV1 to shoot high 90s seems like casting pearls before swine to me.

I hit the "butterfly feel" XL's...can remember if they are 2000 or 3000, and really like the soft feel..espically with my wedge shots..and at under $7 at the BX (tax free) for a dozen.....I am very happy...as one that is no starnger to loosing balls, since hittng them, have only lost 2 in 4 rounds.....so I have a few extra boxes of them in the trunk

I don't know if anyone recalls a golf ball test article in Golf Digest about 3 or 4 years ago. They had a cross hair graph diagram that separated balls by their playing characteristics. In one of the quadrants sat all the balls used on tour, the ones that were good at everything. In that same quadrant was something I didn't expect to see, the Top Flite XL3000 Super Spin.

I played this ball for a couple of years and it was a truly wonderful ball, 15 balls for $15 dollars, shame they don't make them anymore.
