exploding balls
well not exactly "exploding"...
I ordered a mixed bunch of cheap practice balls from ebay and wanted to try a couple different balls on the course. It was about 40 degrees this morning, so I got out to play 9 holes. During the round 2 dunlop loco balls broke in half on my drive!, and I wasn't hitting either particularly hard. There was nothing visually wrong with either ball; in fact they looked new. Anybody else experience this w/ dunlop locos or any other balls? I thought maybe it was the temperature, but 40 degrees isn't all that cold. very weird!

I found one at a golf coarse while playing in a scramble a few months ago. I figured I would hit it off the tee and then switch balls for the approach. It split after about 7 holes. Of coarse I told everyone it was because I was hitting it so hard and far. I guess you just deflated my ego.

Never buy used balls. They have bad habits about getting lost.  |

new balls
I always thought a New PRO V 1 had the greatest affinity towards water and the woods.

I thought that the Callaway HX Tour and the HX 56 had the same problem as well. We both must of bought some defective golf balls then

You guys are both close...The more expensive a ball is, the more likely it will be that it gets lost.
Either that or the expensive balls are the only ones you remember losing
