  Like many, I have a decent collection of gifted promo balls. They are all appreciated and reflect a nice gesture.

  The idea of gifting the high end golf balls makes more sense though.  Never know, someone who is using the L71 nike just may switch to a more expensive Nike ball after trying a free one.  

  Like a drug deal,  first one's free.  ;-)  

  I just prefer my drugs to be yellow.  LOL

  yellow comes dear...the light orange, gooey, sticky stuff is charming, while a bit pricey, and along this train, allow me to say that I have great admiration for those smart ones who never bother nor trouble themselves with looking at the horses teeth but instead quickly saddle it up and gallop away....

  ok I like top grade balls, the 61, the 42 and the 33s & 37. I've tested all types of irons (Nike 85, 97, Pings L59, etc.) against several types of balls w/ different numeric factors, and I've observed the results. I'm playing around w/ the GI3-S ones just for practice.

  I don't use the max balls but one of the HIOs of mine came from a gifted ball from WGT.

  So, I adjust the methods depending on the ball & club combo. It's one of the fun aspects of this game IMO: trying & testing out all sorts of proshop items... Natch, it's good to stick to one type but sometimes I'll go with the flow.

  If you get a horse: Ride it.

  If you can`t ride it: Eat it.
