What's the worst golf ball?

Ok, everybody argues over what the best ball is...

What is the worst golf ball you've ever played?
I've always played cheap - so it makes for a hard choice!

here are some

Greg Norman shark ball -
Spalding Molitor -
DDH -
Recently the InTech balls -

All rocks!

Among the common name brands, I'm not fond of Top Flite, myself. They seem hard to me. Don't like the feel I get at impact. Could be just me.

For me, the worst was a Pink Lady, it was a couples tournament each team had to take turns using the pink ball on alternating holes. My god it was like hitting a marshmallow.

I hate MaxFli balls and I actually don't like DT's either.

Any golf ball that I lose. I figure if it wasn't good enough to hit the fairway, it wasn't good enough for me to keep.

I've found Intechs are great for peeps who lose a lot of balls still (mainly a few of my friends that are still learning the game).

The ones I absolutely refuse to play are most Top Flites (read the $25 and under lines)...to me they give off absolutely no feel around the greens, which is an important attribute I prefer from the balls I play.

Cool

Strata Tour Soft, has to be the worst ball I've ever played. Supposed to be a softer version of the Tour ball, but it was useless. I played a local par 3 one time, and I wore out 2 brand new balls over 9 holes. Tore the covers so that the mantle layer was showing on both balls. Total garbage.

Pick it up its' good: What's wrong with MaxFli Balls? You must not have tried the right ones. I've been playing the M3 Tour, and Revolution Tour balls all summer, and they are great. Very long, and they spin good, and last for at least 36 holes if I don't lose it first. What didn't you like about the MaxFli, and which ball was it?

I just don't like them- I haven't tried the M3 Tour though.

Funny- I hate MaxFli and love Strata (non T-Soft).

I typically use the same ball for two or three rounds unless I donk a cart path or something.

For some reason I don't like the Callaway balls either.

100% agree, whenever that happnes it usually down to a golf ball defect, of my clubs, or it was in a divot, or the fairway hasnt been cut, or someone was talking or i saw a bird move, or my back hurts.......well it works for me

Plus their commercials are stupid. I don't think golf balls should talk like they're from the ghetto and have a really, really, really white Jim Furyk tell us that it's the best ball he's ever hit.

Golf ball I hate most - Titleist NXT. They should've named it JUNK, because it's got to be the worst golf ball for the money that I've ever hit.
