Best Golf Ball at $20 or less

Okay, I am sure there are gonna be 500 different answers, but what do you think is the best ball you can get under 20 bucks a dozen retail price? And why? Not used or clearance balls. I think the Pinnacle Exception is very versatile in this price range, and that would be my choice.

I think the Maxfli Noodle are about $20 a dozen. I have played them and they seem good to me. Give em a try.

I really like the Nike Super Soft. Comes in a green box. Dick's has them right now for around $12.50 a dozen.

I think the Titleist DT Solo are around $20 retail. That's the ball I use and I really like it. I also buy them ebay. I can get mint (no scuffs or player markings, probably have a logo) for about $.75 a ball.

I like the Slazenger Money balls. Their a really soft ball with great feel. If you catch them on sale their really cheap. I've seen them at Dick's for $9.99/doz.

I like Precept's power drive golf balls, but they cost $24 per dozen.
You can go to web site "Golf Balls 101". They rate many different golf balls baesd on distance, spin, straigtness, price, and value.

I just tried some AD333 to replace my usual noodles until the weather finally warms up. This is a very nice ball. Better off the irons than noodles IMO and just as long for me.
I think they are around $16 most places

if you up your limit five bucks that opens up a world of new balls that are IMO a whole class higher than the 15 dollar balls. IE, the new bridgestones, callaway hx hot etc.

That's exactly what I was going to say. For $25 a dozen you can get Cally HX Hot which is one of the best balls under $30...besides I've never been good at following directions anyway.

Pinnacle Exception ,They sent me a 2 ball trial pack and Im very pleased. I use pro v1 392 99% of the time. When I run out of v1's I will switch to the exceptions. I was practicing with my gap wedge from about 110 yards and just for fun I put the exception along side the v1's , The exception flew about 15 yards further , over the green. Although the only downfall Ive seen is that the cover may not be that strong. Seemed to get a rough spot on it after a few hits. They spun about 25% less then the pro v1's on the greens.
Off the driver they carried about 5 yards further today (cold) 297 was the carry distance.
