Best golf ball?

After shooting one of the best rounds of golf I've played in a while with a new ball, I was wondering your opinion on what you think is best and worst and why.
I was hitting Calloway chrome+ balls which played pretty well.
My favorite are Pro V1s but they get beat up so quickly. I cracked the outer shell on four balls and chipped two more in two rounds of golf. I don't like spending $40-$50 on balls that die so easily. But, they sure do hit well.

Though I always count a drop ball because I like to play within the regulations

Pro V1X is my favorite and you can buy X-outs for a very good price. Same ball.

It all depends on your game. Golfmag does a great job explaining the differences.

Personally, I go on eBay and get used grade AAAA PROV1's. Much cheaper than new but great quality

Yeah and both are functioning fairly well for a summer NSG thread. This one should be deleted though since the other has more detailed posts

Cool, let me hit them with my driver.

After a lot of people suggesting Srixon went to my pro shop and talked to the pro there about them he gave me a sleeve of Srixon Z-star pure white and a sleeve of tour yellow. Then it started storming, so my tee time was cancelled. I should get to try them out on Thursday.

Yeah we got that the first time. It was a reference to your testicles in place of golf balls. Such funny.

But are you saying you want other other dudes hitting your balls?

ProV1x still can't be beat. Plus my course is full of rich bastards that drive lambo's and shit so they leave them in the bushes all the time. Whenever i get down to about 10 left I just walk through the trees for a hole and re-stock.

you can find pro v1s refurbished for a relatively low price at a ton of sporting goods stores or online

I'm a big fan of Bridgestone E6 and Tour B330s
Also can never go wrong with ProV1

My first choice is always Pro V1x, but I've had decent luck with original Callaway Hex Chromes and Nike 20xi's. Not a fan of Srixon's, Taylormade's (I haven't tried their newer high end balls though) or Bridgestone's (it's been a while since I've used them though).
