  If I were a legend, i would be playing the " NIKE 20XI-X RZN  level 81 balls ".

  Good Luck,

  Use the ball that best suites your game.

  All the best.

  I tried the " NIKE 20XI-X RZN  level 81 balls " but felt they weren't worth 100 credits more than the Nike 20XI-X L71+ ball that also has the RZN core.

  I recommend choose one primary ball so you become familiar with it's performance.

  Occasionally I try other balls, but the Nike balls work best for me.

  Look for a round one!

  Seriously I like the slower meter Nike's, but the Cally's are really just fine if concentrate...............

  Good advice, find one you can afford to play every important round with and try to stick with it.  Swapping ball will have you guessing distances a bit more which is likely to reflect in your scores.  I've tried most of the premium balls and find the L71 Nike works best for me although I did swap back to the L48 version for a while and sound it less susceptible to major deviation on miss dings.  The extra few yards the L71 offers drew me back though.  I don't intend buying any L81 ones, half a dot of feel for 100 credits seems a bit expensive.

  I know of many players who still use the Callaway Tour S at tour legend tier, at 250 credits a sleeve they're good value.

  I looked in my equipment last month and was surprised at the amount of different types of golf balls that are in there.....lol

  I always used the L71x  Nikes.....  until the meter went into warp speed. I changed to the Max's.... Expensive, but the slower meter was great.  The Max balls has the same specs as the Callaway Z's, but with the 5 dots Feel for the slow meter and less ball life. Apart from the cost, they are very good.

  Just my 2 cents worth but I too used to use the higher lvl callys and nikes but I have found that the 99 cr WGT balls work just fine for me.  I even have 2 HIO's with them,  it really doesn't do a lot of good to switch back and forth
