Are expensive urethane golf balls e.g. Titleist Pro V1 worth it for the normal

[monkeyboy892]

club golfer? If you don't have a handicap higher lower than 10 or are playing super hard and fast greens does it make a difference in performance to use exepnsive 2,3 or 4 layer urethane golf balls instead of cheaper ones?

I find that it does. The Pro V1 for me is the best ball out there in terms of providing durability, distance and control. I've also used Nike and Top Flight and always come back to the Pro V1. But, the real answer is how the ball reacts to your swing and game. I recommend playing a few rounds with different brands.

I think Pro V1s are great balls. Extremely responsive and not much sacrifice on distance, etc... That being said, I don't play them on a regular basis and only break them out for tournaments or special occasions (the cost is just too prohibitive). For reference, I'm an 11 handicap and I usually use Srixon balls (AD333) that cost $20/12 pack.
