Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm super excited also to get some new reviews for the 2024 season. There's a lot of really cool golf balls coming out
Thanks for a wonderful series. Your channel is so much more interesting for the average golfer than the countless RUclips swing "experts" who have screwed up my swing with instruction tips that never carry over to the course. Thanks again.
@@GolfBallAddict You’re welcome. I love finding channels like yours where creators are clearly so passionate about their content. Would love you to review Seed golf balls one day. 👍🏻
Awesome series, thanks for putting this all together! Would be really awesome if there was a text list that we could look at somewhere though. It would make it a lot easier to see where the different balls are ranked! Thanks again for all the hard work
Can do. Thankfully because of all my amazing subscribers and watchers the channel continues to grow and I'm able to do more with it. The the reviews are coming full force 😁
I'm always excited to see other people loving the Zips. I didn't get a shout out but I don't think anyone was talking about zips before me. I suggested it back in July of 2021 on the What's to Come Video and then again on the Wilson Staff Model R video. Everyone use to tease me about using a Wilson ball and now everyone that follows the channel loves them. I'm stoked to see how much your channel has grown in the last few years and that it appears to be including golf tech too. (I tagged you in a takamo post a couple years ago and told them they should send you stuff to test but I don't think they ever did.) I think in a couple of years, you'll probably be able to get irons and drivers to test on the channel for free. We are all pulling for you keep up the great work!
I believe that 100%. I think you've been a follower of the channel pretty much since it came out. Always appreciate that. I can't wait to start testing other ventures. I wish that the club testing would have worked out from a couple years ago but it just didn't mesh with the time unfortunately. What's weird is I'm still having trouble even getting golf ball companies to send me stuff. You would think they'd want the free advertising
Great countdown Nick, and very well presented. Thanks for your time and effort. Keep producing and I'll keep watching. I never even heard of the Sugar brand. I hope the zip remains available for it's loyal followers. Nice hat by the way, much better than last time!
Hi Nick, woke up here in Thailand, kettle on for a cup of tea, turned the phone on and sat down . Looked at the phone and here it is, the top 10. Happy to see the Inesis at number 9, without your tests, many people would still not know about this ball. Some of the big boys are there, Callaway, Wilson , mixed with some lesser known brands. Sugar golf ball at number 1,WOW. I did not see that coming, congratulations to them. This year will be very interesting for your reviews. The larger your community grows, the more interesting the reviews will become. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to do these reviews. Your work and dedication is appreciated by this Englishman in Thailand. Keep up the great work Nick.
Nice job, Nick! Thank you. The 3 golf balls I use were in the top 10, so I feel I’m on the right track. Sugar was a surprise! I may have to order a cube of those. Keep up the great work!
I have always had a wide mixture of balls in my bag. Some new, some found on the course. Watching your reviews has taught me that the balls matter. I am cleaning out my bag and have ordered the Wilson Zip and the Sugar G1. I am going to search for the ball that fits my game the best and then play that ball going forward. Thanks!
Thank you for all the testing you have been doing over the past for years. Cheers, love the vids. It would be nice if there was a list of the rankings without having to go back and re-watch every video.
That's why I love the Chrome soft so much. The low compression gives it a lot of feel and forgiveness for slower swingers but still allows us to play a tour ball.
Thank you so much. Because of you there are so many balls I want to try. I really hope I like the callaway superfast but now I need to order a sugar cube too 😅
I can't seem to find a shut off valve for my small string trimmer I don't think they make 'Em that small what I've been doing.He's just dumping out all the gas back into a storage container and then running the trimmer until the engine dies it seems to work
Thank you so much for this list Nick! I somehow predicted the Sugar ball to be #1, maybe a lucky guess, but I’m so glad to see it in the top spot! Can’t wait for the new data to roll in, keep doing what you’re doing - no one else has your passion!!
Great ending to the top 100, although I'm a bit surprised by the top 5 (except for the Zip, I knew it would be top 3). I look forward to what this year brings for more golf ball reviews.
New to your channel. Love everything you’ve done with this series. Some of the most solid and straightforward expertise I’ve seen, and simultaneously entertaining. Subscribing and looking forward to more.
Really wonderful information! Very interesting that you're wearing a Mizuno hat! I really love the Runbird 88, which I play with both my regular sets ('71 Top Flites, 2005 Mizunos) and my hickory shafted clubs, with which I play about 50% of the time. Also, as a history teacher and golf history buff, I love the Penfold Hearts (skip the 007 stuff). I also love the Macintyre JH Taylors, which are re-covered Wilson Duos, and also the Wright & Ditson retro mesh dimpled design. I caddied from 1965 allthe way through high school, college, and graduate school and found thousands of balls. My favorite back the was the Spalding Dot. What a shame that whoever bought Spalding ran it into the ground. Their irons were much better chromed than both Wilson and Macgregor.
Thanks for the shout out on the Callaway Superfast. I knew it had really tested well for you and you seemed to frequently forget about it or overlook it. Ironically, I overlook and forget about it too. I have a lot of boxes of full dozens and partial dozens in my basement and I have never purchased the Callaway Superfast. Lately, I got seduced by blowout pricing on Titleist TruFeel and Velocity dozens at Walmart a couple of months ago for $8.50 and $9.50. Who passes on that? Maybe someday I will find a like new, pearl condition Superfast and give it a thorough testing! I think I missed where the Cut Red finished? Was I dozing off during this video? I don’t remember seeing it in the 19-11 video, but it has been a while since I watched that one. You really made us wait for this 10 - #1 video, but it was worth the wait. Congratulations on a great video tonight, and all the super videos you have made over the last few years. I’m looking forward to your future vids. Thanks.
Thank you so much for always loyally watching scott. It's pretty easy to tell when you have a fellow golf ball addict and your midst. And you definitely fit that bill. 😃 The cut red finished 18th.
Discovered your channel a couple of years ago. Useful information for the most part while also entertaining. Believe it was thru your channel that I became acquainted with Vice and motivated me to try. All I play anymore is the Vice Pro and Vice Pro Soft. As you know they are slightly different but not sure which I like the best. What has really sealed the deal for me is that I live in the greater Orlando area and last December, one of the local Sam Club's had the 2019 Vice Pro 24 pack on sale for $28. At $14/dz, nothing is even close to the value and performance of this ball. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos.
Fun and informative watch. As a value shopper I focused on the Superfast, Laddie and Zip and was disappointed to find that none of these are manufactured anymore. As far as I can tell it's been several years since some of these were produced. So my question; how old can a golf ball be and still be worth playing? Apologies if this has already been discussed.
As long as they are still available for purchase I have no problem recommending them to people. You can still get the Wilson zip on Amazon and the precept laddie I believe is still available on bridgestone's website
I started using the Wilson's zip Per your recommendation and I love it. The only thing is I went to get at Walmart last week the price went up to 39.95 . So I looked them up on line Target sales them at 29.95 . I have been so impressed with this ball it holds the greens for me good distance On my drives and second shoot . I do hope they keep making it. GREAT CHANNEL 🎉
Saw the Zips at Walmart the other day and they were $30 in the St. Louis area. And I scooped up some on Amazon for $25 before they went to $30 a few days ago.
So I start my season today in RI with Wilson Zip, Snell Getsum and Pinnacle Extreme in the bag. As a 73 year old with a 75 swing speed, hoping for interesting results with the different compressions. Thanks again,
Great series. Awesome to see reviews for normal golfers. The Taylormade Ink could be a contender in 2024. Good value, style and is getting some decent reviews. Would love to see you test it.
Thanks for your honest reviews--this is where I go to get the straight dope on golf balls. The "other guys" on RUclips who review balls seem to be reading press releases and every ball they try out is wonderful. By the way, it seems (in the U.S. at least) the Callaway Superfast has been discontinued.
Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback. That means a lot to me. The super fast is still available on Callaways website. I haven't heard anything about it being discontinued but I'll keep an eye out
@@GolfBallAddict Nick, if you click all the way through on the Callaway website, to the three Superfast balls (white, red, yellow), you will see that each is labeled "not available."
I CALLLED IT - I feel like I should get a prize or something - MY BALL WON!!!! I thank you for this channel cuz I would have NEVER known about this ball!! This is no lie I have shaved so many strokes with this ball!! My fav ball was TP5 but because it CHECKS on greens - I no longer need the TP5. - THIS BALL IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I game the qstar tours. Love em for my game. Divide is fun seeing them spin in the air. I also game the vice pro but liken spending less on the qstar tours
Great ending to a great series. I knew the ZIP would be up there, but it may have been discontinued. I don’t see it on Wilson’s website but it’s still sold on amazon.
If you decide to go full in on a golf ball then I can understand buying a cube. But if you're just wanting to try it out it sucks to have to spend that much money
GREAT countdown!!!! It is sad to see that two of the top 10 balls may no longer be on the market and I have loved playing the Zip based on your recommendation. But when I splurge it's definitely for the Vice Pro, drip version, which now I need to check my local Walmart for that price.
the 2024 balls in every ball have alot of improvements with tour balls also the new 2024 AVX is awesome / TP5 also is softer too look forward to the 2024 reviews of the 2024 golf balls also looking forward to your review on Taylormade speedsoft Ink balls
Thanks for this review list. Additionally thank you for not rolling over and buying into the Titleist hype…their products have great consistency but so many ‘sheep’ are lazy and don’t bother checking out other products. I have been a Wilson fan and glad you recognized their complete line. I think I need to give Vice a try? As far as your #1….buying a pod of golf balls is a no go for me. Keep up the good work.
The vice line is definitely worth trying. They do so much right. Love Wilson balls. They have a variety for every golfer. I get so tired of the Titleist hype. I have to see it every day at work lol
Idk you by name, but I feel like we’ve become family over the past few years. Always look forward to watching your videos, they’ve always been a good point of reference for when I want to give a new ball a try. We appreciate your efforts and are excited for what’s to come with that new launch monitor 👀
Thank you so much for this comment. It definitely means a lot to me. Thank you so much for being part of the golf ball addict community. I can't wait to bring you guys even more data and metrics in 2024
Really enjoyed the Top 100 List! Lots of balls I still need to check out. Hopefully in the near future you test the Wilson Smartcore. I’ve commented before on it and look forward to your review!
I've used the Wilson Zip for years, it is my go to ball after the weather turns colder. Several pro-level players use this ball for practice due to the similar feel to the Pro V1.
I found an abandoned Callaway Superfast on the course about a week ago and decided to hit it on the next tee. That ball flew a ****ing mile. It landed in the middle of the fairway but it took me forever to find. Not just because it was about 30 yards further forward than I expected it to be but because the red is IMPOSSBRU to see. Great ball don’t do the red.
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. I agree with you on all of your analysis. The ball does spring off like a rocket like few golf balls do. I will admit the red color as well as the orange color are difficult for me to see.
I am a golf ball addict and play the Brigstone Tour BX. For me it is the longest and straightest ball. Will all other balls I loose 2-3 per round. With this Brigstone box I loose 1 ball every 2 rounds. I can find them for $35/box so a great value for me. My swing speed is only 90 but best performance from a tour level ball.
I have had overwhelmingly positive feedback from everyone who's tried them. Here's the good news though, what's great about that golf balls that even if you end up not liking them, you're only out 24 bucks and not 50.
@GolfBallAddict well I played my first round with these balls. Matched my personal best of 78. From 150 in I was deadly with them. And a chip in 40 yarder. Thanks man, great call.
Hi Nik. Really great guide for all golfers! Unfortunately not all top notch golf balls are available in Europe, I'd love to test the Sugar G1 myself. One major Ball I'm missing out though or I'm not able to find the review for, which is broadly considered one of the best 2P balls on the market: the Srixon AD333. Srixon just recently brought out it's 11th generation.
I agree with the tees, however playing exclusively lost balls can be tricky. I always tell people, you never know where they came from, how long they've been playing, or where they've been. Also consistency is key, every golf ball reacts differently when putted chipped and hit. It's nice to know confidently what your golf balls going to do. I don't get me wrong if you're just a weekend warrior out having fun then yes please save the money these things are getting expensive LOL
Great video! Since I loose a lot of golf balls I bought some Ram Laser Spin. They were 36 for $30 and I’m getting pretty good distance on them. They are low compression which is good for me since I’ve only been golfing about a year. I’ll try the Wilson Zip and a couple other recommendations to see how I like them.
😢Loved the series Nick but the Sugar ball works out at nearly $3 a ball here in the UK where as the Zip is only a £1 a ball so no contest if I use a ball that has cost me more than a pound I just get nervous
Different types of ball though. You can't really compare an ionomer ball to a urethane cover. I play the zip in winter and a urethane ball in the summer when I need more spin
I found a ball on the course played it for the rest of the round. Loved it so much I wanted to see where it set in your rankings. Turned out to be no.1.
I'm a staunch believer in the Q-Star Tour Divides. I'm a low single-digit index but I just get better results with the Q-Star Tours than the pro model balls out there, and I agree 100% with the Divides as a training aid for putting and working on controlling spin around the greens. Plus, everyone in my group knows exactly which ball is mine at all times 😂
Sugar was the first DTC that I tried and I used it through 2 cubes, then I moved on to OnCore ELIXR but suddenly the covers were getting too many smiley faces. When Sugar Pure came out I got a cube and really liked them but then Academy Sports advertised Sugar G1’s at $39.99 / cube, so I bought 2 and that’s the ball I’ll use this year.
Whoah! Just checked Acadmey and that chance deal is there, but they show they're out of stock. Quick google search didn't show anyone else with that awesome deal 🥲
Great series. Just started my golf adventure and choosing a golf ball can be a stupid expensive mistake. I am a nerd and love data so do you have a speedsheet with the matrix used?
Great golf ball list...very interesting. I've played the Callaway Chrome Soft and Srixon Q Star Tour recently but I keep going back to the Bridgestone E12 Contact which did TERRIBLE in your review. Not sure if it's because I use game improvement irons and driver (Srixon ZX4's and Callaway Paradym X) but I score 5-6 stroke better with the E12. Going to order the Wilson Zip that #2 on your list and give them a try. THANKS!!
Please let me know how you like them. I also use game improvement irons and I have the same results. Sometimes it also just depends on your swing. Please let me know how you like the zips though
Great job with the Top 100. Really enjoyed the vids. Picked up a few good suggestions I plan on trying. I see myself as and average golfer with an above average swing speed (110-115). What would be your top suggestions for fast swing speeds, as I am a bit concerned with over compressing.
I am currently an 8 hcp. But I would say that's because I play the right course. If I were to play random corse, I'd prob be closer to 12 hcp. I use arccos, and my approach (15 hcp) and short game (12 hcp)are my weaknesses, with tee shots (2 hcp) and putting (0 hcp) being my strength
I've been playing the zip for years, back when the old Staff logo was on the ball. I'm saying six or seven years ago. All the guys in my league thought I was insane until they hit them. I play other balls and go back to the Zip. They discontinued it and brought back without the staff logo but it performs identical to the original.
It's a good golf ball. I wouldn't call it ground breaking and the numbers don't jump off the page. But I gain yardages consistently and the feel is pretty decent. It's definitely something I recommend but it just doesn't wow me like a lot of other golf balls in the two-piece market
I've been trying to get my hands on one for quite a while. I even contacted sugar directly and they still want me to buy the whole cube. LOL I might just have to bite the bullet
2 balls l play were at number 10 and number 6. Sugar golf balls.....what never heard of them before. The price is 27 balls for AUD 110. So which factory is sugar made in???
I don't know how that money translates to dollars. So I don't know if that's more expensive or not. Honestly I'm not sure what factory they come out I might have to look into it.
@@GolfBallAddict: Launch Technologies in Taiwan is one of the largest golf ball manufacturers in the world, producing approximately 20 percent of the world’s supply. Launch Tech works closely with Callaway, notably producing the ERC Soft and Supersoft balls. The company also makes all the balls for Topgolf. Additionally, Launch Tech supplies other OEMs with two-piece balls, including TaylorMade, Bridgestone and Mizuno. It also services many direct-to-consumer companies. Its customer list also includes OnCore, Odin, Sugar, Seed and Penfold. The factory caught fire in November 2023 and will be out of action for 12 months, so this might effect supply of all these balls

I have been using the wilson boost and absolutely love them. Just started golf this month and at $9.98 a dozen you just cant go wrong. I got some zips for amazon prime day. I have wilson irons. You just cant go wrong with wilson. Solid quality. That being said, please review the boost haha
I'm not going to lie. I just left Walmart and saw them for the first time myself. Picked up a dozen. Now seeing your comment this is the first time I've seen anyone requested. It was meant to be! 😁😃
ok +15 Handicap mid to slow swing using refurbished ProVs because they stop on the green. I ordered Sugar and Wiz. Going to see if this makes a difference.
Was bit surprised that Inesis Tour 900 is your top 10 but not too surprised ($29 in Thailand Decathlon including VAT). Inesis Soft 500 ($15/dozen with 4-5 color options) performs really well for the price too. It's a surlyn cover so cannot expect super zip with wedges but you should review next time. It may be close to Laddie Extreme.
Did I hear you say that you store golf balls in the garage? My understanding is that there are temperature issues, both hot and cold, with garage storage. But anyhooo, GREAT SERIES 😊😊😊
agree $40 for dozen q star tour is steep but when on a 4 for 3 these have to be cheapest 3-piece urethane out there, and i got a hole in 1 with one so i'm biased 😀
This is a lot to ask, but any chance you can publish the Top 100 in text format? It would make it a lot easier to reference vs going through 10 videos trying to remember the balls I find on the course or see a sale on.
This will be done in the next couple days. I've had many requests for it so I have no problem printing it. I think I'll probably do it in a website format
Definitely worth a shot but keep in mind that this zip is a little harder to get now. There's a chance they might be discontinuing it but I don't know for sure.
Video request. A review video with all 100 golf balls. Quick spreadsheet screenshots of 100-90, 90-80 etc with their rankings and $/ball (links to previous videos to get clicks up?). Would be an awesome reference video to go back to multiple times as golf ball sales show up. The MTB Prime X is at a very good price right but I cannot remember which video it's in.
I'm not quite sure if I'm going to do that yet or not. As far as if you're looking for a specific video, just go to my channel and in the search bar you can search for whatever ball you are looking for and it will come up.
Great content tons of info. Did Callaway warbird make the list or did I miss it? I have a slow swing speed and shoot in the 90s what ball would you recommend?
Thank you for this list, just went through all 100😅 Serious question, if a ball is not in this list, should I just not use it? I feel like being outside of the top 100 is atrocious
This series was a blast. I really appreciate the hours of work you put into this. Congratulations....
I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching it through and leaving a comment.
Looking forward to the testing of new models. Thanks for this. I love uncovering true, unbiased performance
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm super excited also to get some new reviews for the 2024 season. There's a lot of really cool golf balls coming out

I have just binged the whole top 100 this morning. So glad I have found this channel. Great work and so pleased Vice is in the top 10!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for doing that. I appreciate you taking the time to not only watch all those videos, but comment your feedback as well.

Great wholesome message. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. It's slowly has become my life's work 😃💯
Cant say thankyou enough for your efforts over the years. And the top 100 was a great idea and supper well done. cant wait for 2024s content.

I have a golf trip to kissimme coming soon, so I will be living on your channel for the next few weeks. Thanks for doing all the work for us.
Hey that's awesome. I hope you have a great time there's some really good golf to be played out there.
Good stuff! Can't wait for more reviews!!
Thank you very much. I am also excited to try out all these great new golf balls for 2024
Bravo! Well worth the wait. I take your recommendations in high regard and will be trying alot of these balls.

I will be releasing a list soon
@@GolfBallAddict awesome
Wilson Zip is what I've been playing with for 2 years and love it.
Sounds good. What is your swing speed?
I imagine Wilson has to be getting more in stock. I can't imagine what this many people liking them they won't update the version
I trust this guys opinion about golf balls more than anyone in the industry, period. The most underrated golf channel on RUclips!!!!
🥳🏌️♂️⛳🙏🤩 thank you so much!
I've been watching your channel and absolutely love your reviews and data. I love trying out new golf balls. Keep the reviews coming.

Thank you very much. It's going to be an awesome year!
Great series thank you!
No problem. Thank you so much for watching
Bridgestone precept laddy x is my new go to because of you thank you for everything you do great work
Anytime friend. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 😃
Nice I’ve been playing sugar for about 4years and love them. Was super surprised when I first got them.
That's awesome. It's people like you that kept the company going and is allowing them to make improvements. Great job sir!
Very cool series. Thanks for sharing these reviews.
Not a problem. Thank you so much for watching
Great countdown Nick, and very well presented. Thanks for your time and effort. Keep producing and I'll keep watching. I never even heard of the Sugar brand. I hope the zip remains available for it's loyal followers. Nice hat by the way, much better than last time!
Thank you very much for the kind words. I hope the zip remains in play also.
LOL I went wild with the polo this time instead
commenting for the algorithm, good stuff dude this is wonderful for people who dont want to wander the internet
I appreciate those kind words. Thank you so much.
Thanks for all the hard work!!
Not a problem. It's definitely worth all the hard work when I see all of the amazing feedback you guys provide
Hi Nick, woke up here in Thailand, kettle on for a cup of tea, turned the phone on and sat down . Looked at the phone and here it is, the top 10. Happy to see the Inesis at number 9, without your tests, many people would still not know about this ball. Some of the big boys are there, Callaway, Wilson , mixed with some lesser known brands. Sugar golf ball at number 1,WOW. I did not see that coming, congratulations to them. This year will be very interesting for your reviews. The larger your community grows, the more interesting the reviews will become. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to do these reviews. Your work and dedication is appreciated by this Englishman in Thailand. Keep up the great work Nick.
Thank you so much John for everything you do. 😃
I play Inesis Soft 500 here in Thailand as well. Super ball for the price.
@@tonythaiger93 I will give it a go.
I have a relative (a yank from Georgia) who just moved there for good! Good luck
Golf Side Kick played the Inesis for quite a while, he likes them.
Nice job, Nick! Thank you. The 3 golf balls I use were in the top 10, so I feel I’m on the right track. Sugar was a surprise! I may have to order a cube of those. Keep up the great work!
You have amazing taste in golf balls. Thank you so much for always watching and taking my advice seriously 😃
This was so fun to watch!!!
Thank you so much!
Surprise choice!!! Thanks for your hard work :) Can't wait to see the ink review.
It's coming soon 👀🔥
I have always had a wide mixture of balls in my bag. Some new, some found on the course. Watching your reviews has taught me that the balls matter. I am cleaning out my bag and have ordered the Wilson Zip and the Sugar G1. I am going to search for the ball that fits my game the best and then play that ball going forward. Thanks!
Please let me know how you like them. Always love feedback😃
Thank you for all the testing you have been doing over the past for years. Cheers, love the vids. It would be nice if there was a list of the rankings without having to go back and re-watch every video.
The list will be dropping in a couple days.
Golf ball reviews, you listen to Kendrick, you watch Anime. You got my subscription good sir! Keep up the amazing work 👏🏼
LOL thank you so much. I definitely have a variety of taste 😁
Love the Callaway Chrome Soft ball. I'm an average swing of 88 - 92 mph and can really feel this ball compress when struck right.
That's why I love the Chrome soft so much. The low compression gives it a lot of feel and forgiveness for slower swingers but still allows us to play a tour ball.
Thank you so much. Because of you there are so many balls I want to try. I really hope I like the callaway superfast but now I need to order a sugar cube too 😅
Thank you very much. I appreciate the love
I can't seem to find a shut off valve for my small string trimmer I don't think they make 'Em that small what I've been doing.He's just dumping out all the gas back into a storage container and then running the trimmer until the engine dies it seems to work
Loved your 100 review hopefully will see srixon marathon soft next year great job x
You will definitely see it
Awesome series! Was really hoping to see the Callaway Hex Soft but maybe for a future video.
I just picked up a couple today. Gonna review them in a week or so
Thank you so much for this list Nick! I somehow predicted the Sugar ball to be #1, maybe a lucky guess, but I’m so glad to see it in the top spot!
Can’t wait for the new data to roll in, keep doing what you’re doing - no one else has your passion!!
Thank you very much for the kind words and for making this list so successful. That was a heck of a guess.
Great ending to the top 100, although I'm a bit surprised by the top 5 (except for the Zip, I knew it would be top 3). I look forward to what this year brings for more golf ball reviews.
Thank you for watching. I am also excited for 2024. The content is about to start flowing pretty heavy
Great series, really enjoyed the reviews. Happy with the Q Star Tour making the top 6 👍🏻👌🏻
Thank you very much. It's one of my favorites!
great ball foresure. Lets not count out Kirkland 2>>
Sugar, wow, who would have thought it! Nice improvement on the video and the graphics more to come I’m sure.
Thank you very much. Yes it was definitely a lot more work put into this one but I think it was worth it in the end
Tried buying some. Every place I looked says either unavailable or out of stock. Are they out of business?
New to your channel. Love everything you’ve done with this series. Some of the most solid and straightforward expertise I’ve seen, and simultaneously entertaining. Subscribing and looking forward to more.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We're glad to have you on the channel! :-)
Good stuff! I have played most of the ten! Looking forward to new reviews with your new launch monitor! Thanks
Not a problem. Thank you so much for watching the series and making it so successful.
Really wonderful information! Very interesting that you're wearing a Mizuno hat! I really love the Runbird 88, which I play with both my regular sets ('71 Top Flites, 2005 Mizunos) and my hickory shafted clubs, with which I play about 50% of the time. Also, as a history teacher and golf history buff, I love the Penfold Hearts (skip the 007 stuff). I also love the Macintyre JH Taylors, which are re-covered Wilson Duos, and also the Wright & Ditson retro mesh dimpled design. I caddied from 1965 allthe way through high school, college, and graduate school and found thousands of balls. My favorite back the was the Spalding Dot. What a shame that whoever bought Spalding ran it into the ground. Their irons were much better chromed than both Wilson and Macgregor.
Thank you very much for sharing that information. I didn't know a lot of that. I do like the retro mesh dimple design as well.
Thanks for the shout out on the Callaway Superfast. I knew it had really tested well for you and you seemed to frequently forget about it or overlook it. Ironically, I overlook and forget about it too. I have a lot of boxes of full dozens and partial dozens in my basement and I have never purchased the Callaway Superfast. Lately, I got seduced by blowout pricing on Titleist TruFeel and Velocity dozens at Walmart a couple of months ago for $8.50 and $9.50. Who passes on that? Maybe someday I will find a like new, pearl condition Superfast and give it a thorough testing! I think I missed where the Cut Red finished? Was I dozing off during this video? I don’t remember seeing it in the 19-11 video, but it has been a while since I watched that one. You really made us wait for this 10 - #1 video, but it was worth the wait. Congratulations on a great video tonight, and all the super videos you have made over the last few years. I’m looking forward to your future vids. Thanks.
Thank you so much for always loyally watching scott. It's pretty easy to tell when you have a fellow golf ball addict and your midst. And you definitely fit that bill. 😃
The cut red finished 18th.
Discovered your channel a couple of years ago. Useful information for the most part while also entertaining. Believe it was thru your channel that I became acquainted with Vice and motivated me to try. All I play anymore is the Vice Pro and Vice Pro Soft. As you know they are slightly different but not sure which I like the best. What has really sealed the deal for me is that I live in the greater Orlando area and last December, one of the local Sam Club's had the 2019 Vice Pro 24 pack on sale for $28. At $14/dz, nothing is even close to the value and performance of this ball. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos.
Yeah that deal is incredible. I am currently working on Vice week right now. So be on the lookout for those. Thank you so much for your kind words!
Fun and informative watch. As a value shopper I focused on the Superfast, Laddie and Zip and was disappointed to find that none of these are manufactured anymore. As far as I can tell it's been several years since some of these were produced. So my question; how old can a golf ball be and still be worth playing? Apologies if this has already been discussed.
As long as they are still available for purchase I have no problem recommending them to people. You can still get the Wilson zip on Amazon and the precept laddie I believe is still available on bridgestone's website
I started using the Wilson's zip Per your recommendation and I love it. The only thing is I went to get at Walmart last week the price went up to 39.95 . So I looked them up on line Target sales them at 29.95 . I have been so impressed with this ball it holds the greens for me good distance On my drives and second shoot . I do hope they keep making it. GREAT CHANNEL 🎉
I've heard that people have seen price increases. I'm not sure exactly what's going on but I'm going to get to the bottom of it
Saw the Zips at Walmart the other day and they were $30 in the St. Louis area. And I scooped up some on Amazon for $25 before they went to $30 a few days ago.
Glad to see that my Laddie made top 10!! At a 5, I’ll take it any day!
Top 5 is quite the achievement.
Great suff. Would love to see a top 5 for slower swingers like junior girls. Thanks!
Thank you very much. I promise this is coming. I have some reviews coming out soon and then I'll be able to make a top five
So I start my season today in RI with Wilson Zip, Snell Getsum and Pinnacle Extreme in the bag. As a 73 year old with a 75 swing speed, hoping for interesting results with the different compressions. Thanks again,
Please let me know what you think once you've accumulated some decent feel with each ball. I'd love to know what your thoughts are
Great series. Awesome to see reviews for normal golfers. The Taylormade Ink could be a contender in 2024. Good value, style and is getting some decent reviews.
Would love to see you test it.
It'll be the first one tested with a new launch monitor. So it's coming very soon. Thank you so much for watching! :-)
Thanks for your honest reviews--this is where I go to get the straight dope on golf balls. The "other guys" on RUclips who review balls seem to be reading press releases and every ball they try out is wonderful. By the way, it seems (in the U.S. at least) the Callaway Superfast has been discontinued.
Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback. That means a lot to me.
The super fast is still available on Callaways website. I haven't heard anything about it being discontinued but I'll keep an eye out
@@GolfBallAddict Nick, if you click all the way through on the Callaway website, to the three Superfast balls (white, red, yellow), you will see that each is labeled "not available."
I CALLLED IT - I feel like I should get a prize or something - MY BALL WON!!!! I thank you for this channel cuz I would have NEVER known about this ball!! This is no lie I have shaved so many strokes with this ball!! My fav ball was TP5 but because it CHECKS on greens - I no longer need the TP5. - THIS BALL IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I do remember you were the first one to guess it correctly. Awesome job! I'm so glad you enjoy the golf ball as well.
@@GolfBallAddicthave you seen they have a sugar s2x. The updated version
Which Ball? Tks SalP
But did you have a big crowd?
I have never seen a Sugar golf ball in my life and I have play golf for 20 years now 😂
Well to be fair they haven't been around for that long. I think they've maybe been around for 5 years?
I game the qstar tours. Love em for my game. Divide is fun seeing them spin in the air. I also game the vice pro but liken spending less on the qstar tours
Such a great ball.
Great ending to a great series. I knew the ZIP would be up there, but it may have been discontinued. I don’t see it on Wilson’s website but it’s still sold on amazon.
Saw it on the Wilson website yesterday. Their website is kind of a mess. And Zips are now $30. Still a steal, obviously.
I’ve never heard of Snell or Sugar so thanks for the heads up, and like you say who wants to buy a cube when a dozen will do.
If you decide to go full in on a golf ball then I can understand buying a cube. But if you're just wanting to try it out it sucks to have to spend that much money
@@GolfBallAddict I might give them a go one day, I’m happy with my Srixon Soft Feel for now 😀
Great video as always
Thank you! 😊
Played Cabot Citrus Farms Saturday! What a nice course! Going to be much better when it has matured!
That's awesome. Yeah the greens were just punched a couple weeks ago but I think this winter it's absolutely going to be phenomenal.
GREAT countdown!!!! It is sad to see that two of the top 10 balls may no longer be on the market and I have loved playing the Zip based on your recommendation.
But when I splurge it's definitely for the Vice Pro, drip version, which now I need to check my local Walmart for that price.
Thank you very much for your kind words. 😊
Great video brother, congratulations on the landmark can’t wait for more 🙏🏼😎
Thank you so much. I appreciate you guys watching and making this series so successful.
the 2024 balls in every ball have alot of improvements with tour balls also the new 2024 AVX is awesome / TP5 also is softer too look forward to the 2024 reviews of the 2024 golf balls also looking forward to your review on Taylormade speedsoft Ink balls
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching!
Thanks for this review list. Additionally thank you for not rolling over and buying into the Titleist hype…their products have great consistency but so many ‘sheep’ are lazy and don’t bother checking out other products. I have been a Wilson fan and glad you recognized their complete line. I think I need to give Vice a try? As far as your #1….buying a pod of golf balls is a no go for me. Keep up the good work.
The vice line is definitely worth trying. They do so much right.
Love Wilson balls. They have a variety for every golfer.
I get so tired of the Titleist hype. I have to see it every day at work lol
Idk you by name, but I feel like we’ve become family over the past few years. Always look forward to watching your videos, they’ve always been a good point of reference for when I want to give a new ball a try. We appreciate your efforts and are excited for what’s to come with that new launch monitor 👀
Thank you so much for this comment. It definitely means a lot to me. Thank you so much for being part of the golf ball addict community.
I can't wait to bring you guys even more data and metrics in 2024
Wilson triad has been the ball that's impressed me the most. I like it more than the TP5X, Kirkland, Legato, etc. Feels just like a prov1
I will be retesting that one soon
Really enjoyed the Top 100 List! Lots of balls I still need to check out. Hopefully in the near future you test the Wilson Smartcore. I’ve commented before on it and look forward to your review!
I'm hoping that smartcore will be an adequate option if they discontinue the zip. I definitely can't wait to review it.
I've used the Wilson Zip for years, it is my go to ball after the weather turns colder. Several pro-level players use this ball for practice due to the similar feel to the Pro V1.
It's an amazing ball. I hope they continue to make it
I found an abandoned Callaway Superfast on the course about a week ago and decided to hit it on the next tee. That ball flew a ****ing mile. It landed in the middle of the fairway but it took me forever to find. Not just because it was about 30 yards further forward than I expected it to be but because the red is IMPOSSBRU to see. Great ball don’t do the red.
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. I agree with you on all of your analysis. The ball does spring off like a rocket like few golf balls do. I will admit the red color as well as the orange color are difficult for me to see.
Lots of people don't see red well, but I see red better than any other color. E12 red balls basically glow in the dark.
I am a golf ball addict and play the Brigstone Tour BX. For me it is the longest and straightest ball. Will all other balls I loose 2-3 per round. With this Brigstone box I loose 1 ball every 2 rounds. I can find them for $35/box so a great value for me. My swing speed is only 90 but best performance from a tour level ball.
Nice! I found that a lot of people really enjoy the Bridgestone golf balls. They have a very good following
J’ai acheté la Precept Laddie X et j’ai gagné de la distance sur mon coup de départ ! Merci
Hey that's awesome. I'm so glad the golf balls helping you out. Hopefully more birdies come with it as well 😁
I just bought a case of laddies because of you. Can't wait to try them. Hope you are right lol.
I have had overwhelmingly positive feedback from everyone who's tried them. Here's the good news though, what's great about that golf balls that even if you end up not liking them, you're only out 24 bucks and not 50.
@GolfBallAddict well I played my first round with these balls. Matched my personal best of 78. From 150 in I was deadly with them. And a chip in 40 yarder. Thanks man, great call.
Hi Nik. Really great guide for all golfers! Unfortunately not all top notch golf balls are available in Europe, I'd love to test the Sugar G1 myself. One major Ball I'm missing out though or I'm not able to find the review for, which is broadly considered one of the best 2P balls on the market: the Srixon AD333. Srixon just recently brought out it's 11th generation.
I will get that tested then. Sometimes I forget that Europe doesn't have as many options
I only play balls I find. As long as I keep finding, I keep playing. Same with tees.
I agree with the tees, however playing exclusively lost balls can be tricky. I always tell people, you never know where they came from, how long they've been playing, or where they've been.
Also consistency is key, every golf ball reacts differently when putted chipped and hit. It's nice to know confidently what your golf balls going to do.
I don't get me wrong if you're just a weekend warrior out having fun then yes please save the money these things are getting expensive LOL
Great video! Since I loose a lot of golf balls I bought some Ram Laser Spin. They were 36 for $30 and I’m getting pretty good distance on them. They are low compression which is good for me since I’ve only been golfing about a year. I’ll try the Wilson Zip and a couple other recommendations to see how I like them.
I will have to look into these golf balls and see if they are worth reviewing. I have not heard of them so far so thanks for the heads up
😢Loved the series Nick but the Sugar ball works out at nearly $3 a ball here in the UK where as the Zip is only a £1 a ball so no contest if I use a ball that has cost me more than a pound I just get nervous
Nothing wrong with being the number two spot on a list of 100. Nothing wrong with continuing to play the zip as long as they keep shipping it out LOL
Different types of ball though. You can't really compare an ionomer ball to a urethane cover. I play the zip in winter and a urethane ball in the summer when I need more spin
I found a ball on the course played it for the rest of the round. Loved it so much I wanted to see where it set in your rankings. Turned out to be no.1.
LOL that's hilarious. And awesome. It's honestly a fantastic golf ball
Very enjoyable video! Is the sugar golf ball suitable for slower swing speeds? Thanks!
Depends on how slow. Anything 85 mph or greater would be good
My MarioKart move is to win, get to the fridge, get back, and crack a drink when my opponent crosses the finish line.
LOL that's awesome.
@@GolfBallAddict it leads to great trash talking when I eventually lose too! 😂
I'm a staunch believer in the Q-Star Tour Divides. I'm a low single-digit index but I just get better results with the Q-Star Tours than the pro model balls out there, and I agree 100% with the Divides as a training aid for putting and working on controlling spin around the greens. Plus, everyone in my group knows exactly which ball is mine at all times 😂
One of my absolute favorites.
Sugar was the first DTC that I tried and I used it through 2 cubes, then I moved on to OnCore ELIXR but suddenly the covers were getting too many smiley faces. When Sugar Pure came out I got a cube and really liked them but then Academy Sports advertised Sugar G1’s at $39.99 / cube, so I bought 2 and that’s the ball I’ll use this year.
That's a really amazing price for that many golf balls.
Whoah! Just checked Acadmey and that chance deal is there, but they show they're out of stock. Quick google search didn't show anyone else with that awesome deal 🥲
Wilson zip is awsome and cheap love it
Everyone really loves it. One of my favorites
Glad my wilson zip and Snell mtb prime scored well. I may experiment with the some of your other 10 ten. Curious about the vice ball.
All of the top ten are worth a try at least. If you find one, give it a try 🙂
I play the Q-Star Tour ball. Can always find it buy two get one free, so $80 for three dozen or $21 a dozen.
That's the best time to buy them. At that price point it's a no-brainer
Great series. Just started my golf adventure and choosing a golf ball can be a stupid expensive mistake. I am a nerd and love data so do you have a speedsheet with the matrix used?
I do have a sheet. I don't release it though. I might one day but I'm still building data
Great golf ball list...very interesting. I've played the Callaway Chrome Soft and Srixon Q Star Tour recently but I keep going back to the Bridgestone E12 Contact which did TERRIBLE in your review. Not sure if it's because I use game improvement irons and driver (Srixon ZX4's and Callaway Paradym X) but I score 5-6 stroke better with the E12. Going to order the Wilson Zip that #2 on your list and give them a try. THANKS!!
Please let me know how you like them. I also use game improvement irons and I have the same results. Sometimes it also just depends on your swing. Please let me know how you like the zips though
Great job with the Top 100. Really enjoyed the vids. Picked up a few good suggestions I plan on trying. I see myself as and average golfer with an above average swing speed (110-115). What would be your top suggestions for fast swing speeds, as I am a bit concerned with over compressing.
That's understandable with that swing speed. Do you know your handicap? What would you say your weakest part of your game is?
I am currently an 8 hcp. But I would say that's because I play the right course. If I were to play random corse, I'd prob be closer to 12 hcp. I use arccos, and my approach (15 hcp) and short game (12 hcp)are my weaknesses, with tee shots (2 hcp) and putting (0 hcp) being my strength
I've been playing the zip for years, back when the old Staff logo was on the ball. I'm saying six or seven years ago. All the guys in my league thought I was insane until they hit them. I play other balls and go back to the Zip. They discontinued it and brought back without the staff logo but it performs identical to the original.
That's so awesome! you were definitely ahead of the curve!
How do you feel about the bridgestone e6 ball
It's a good golf ball. I wouldn't call it ground breaking and the numbers don't jump off the page. But I gain yardages consistently and the feel is pretty decent. It's definitely something I recommend but it just doesn't wow me like a lot of other golf balls in the two-piece market
Now you have to test the Sugar Golf Ball - Pure
I've been trying to get my hands on one for quite a while. I even contacted sugar directly and they still want me to buy the whole cube. LOL I might just have to bite the bullet
@@GolfBallAddict if I knew how to send you a sleeve - I would!!
@@GolfBallAddict Definitely want to see your review on the Pure.
2 balls l play were at number 10 and number 6.
Sugar golf balls.....what never heard of them before.
The price is 27 balls for AUD 110.
So which factory is sugar made in???
I don't know how that money translates to dollars. So I don't know if that's more expensive or not. Honestly I'm not sure what factory they come out I might have to look into it.
@@GolfBallAddict: Launch Technologies in Taiwan is one of the largest golf ball manufacturers in the world, producing approximately 20 percent of the world’s supply. Launch Tech works closely with Callaway, notably producing the ERC Soft and Supersoft balls. The company also makes all the balls for Topgolf. Additionally, Launch Tech supplies other OEMs with two-piece balls, including TaylorMade, Bridgestone and Mizuno. It also services many direct-to-consumer companies.
Its customer list also includes OnCore, Odin, Sugar, Seed and Penfold.
The factory caught fire in November 2023 and will be out of action for 12 months, so this might effect supply of all these balls

I have been using the wilson boost and absolutely love them. Just started golf this month and at $9.98 a dozen you just cant go wrong. I got some zips for amazon prime day. I have wilson irons. You just cant go wrong with wilson. Solid quality. That being said, please review the boost haha
I'm not going to lie. I just left Walmart and saw them for the first time myself. Picked up a dozen. Now seeing your comment this is the first time I've seen anyone requested. It was meant to be! 😁😃
@@GolfBallAddict certainly quite the coincidence haha. I'm excited for the review!
I love that a DTC got #1. People put way too much stock into large companies ability to market effectively.
I was too. I absolutely love direct to consumer brands and I was really glad one of them had such an amazing performance and design.
ok +15 Handicap mid to slow swing using refurbished ProVs because they stop on the green. I ordered Sugar and Wiz. Going to see if this makes a difference.
Awesome! If you are a true loyalist to the Pro V then I think you will find the Sugar an adequate replacement.
@@GolfBallAddict Tried the Sugar performed really well. Stopped cold a few times
Was bit surprised that Inesis Tour 900 is your top 10 but not too surprised ($29 in Thailand Decathlon including VAT). Inesis Soft 500 ($15/dozen with 4-5 color options) performs really well for the price too. It's a surlyn cover so cannot expect super zip with wedges but you should review next time. It may be close to Laddie Extreme.
I definitely want to try all of the inesis balls. Just haven't gotten to yet
Did I hear you say that you store golf balls in the garage? My understanding is that there are temperature issues, both hot and cold, with garage storage. But anyhooo, GREAT SERIES 😊😊😊
You are not wrong, extreme temperatures will mess with a golf balls compression. In Florida it's not a huge issue though
agree $40 for dozen q star tour is steep but when on a 4 for 3 these have to be cheapest 3-piece urethane out there, and i got a hole in 1 with one so i'm biased 😀
I completely agree with you. If you can get them on the buy two get one free American completely 100% one of the best values out there
This is a lot to ask, but any chance you can publish the Top 100 in text format? It would make it a lot easier to reference vs going through 10 videos trying to remember the balls I find on the course or see a sale on.
This will be done in the next couple days. I've had many requests for it so I have no problem printing it. I think I'll probably do it in a website format
I like the Duo so i feel i need to try the Zip..
Definitely worth a shot but keep in mind that this zip is a little harder to get now. There's a chance they might be discontinuing it but I don't know for sure.
Video request. A review video with all 100 golf balls. Quick spreadsheet screenshots of 100-90, 90-80 etc with their rankings and $/ball (links to previous videos to get clicks up?). Would be an awesome reference video to go back to multiple times as golf ball sales show up. The MTB Prime X is at a very good price right but I cannot remember which video it's in.
I'm not quite sure if I'm going to do that yet or not. As far as if you're looking for a specific video, just go to my channel and in the search bar you can search for whatever ball you are looking for and it will come up.
Great content tons of info. Did Callaway warbird make the list or did I miss it? I have a slow swing speed and shoot in the 90s what ball would you recommend?
I reviewed it after this list. I would recommend a forgiving 2 piece lower compression. Wilson Zip, Pinnacle rush or soft, Maxfli etc.
I bought the zips and lost 10-15 yards a club. Very bizarre experience. Great putting line.
Whats your swing speed?
Thank you for this list, just went through all 100😅 Serious question, if a ball is not in this list, should I just not use it? I feel like being outside of the top 100 is atrocious
If a ball is not on the list, it could mean that I have it tested it. Is there a specific when you're looking for?
