I used to just pick up whatever was on sale. Mostly 2 piece balls. A year or two ago I began playing the ProV just to see what the hype was all about. The feel and control around the green is better than any other ball I've played. I don't feel like I've lost any control off the tee either, which was my fear at first. I haven't looked back. Although, I've never bought a single sleeve. Can't justify the price. My brother in law and I go to a course his Mom lives on once or twice a year and collect balls from the woods. We take our kids and they help us out. They're little and love it. Found over 120 ProV's between the two of us last time!
