I need to buy some new balls and I'm curious to learn what you guys are playing.

I generally like softer, grippier balls as I tend to have a pretty low ball flight, so I need the spin to hold greens that are protected in front. Distance isn't really much of a concern since I hit 270-290 yards w/ a 12 degree driver using decade-old Top Flite Stratas (Considering multi-piece balls were in their infancy at that time, I suspect that modern balls will go even further).

I really have no idea what I'm looking for, though I think what I'm looking for is kind of in the $30-$55/dozen range (i.e. NXT Tour, Pro V1, B330, etc.). Online reviews seem to just be regurgitating marketing propaganda.

Any input would be appreciated.
