    Question Two piece/three piece & ball compression

    Just got back from the local golf shop & much to my dismay their selection of balls was somewhat lacking in my view. I have a very high swing speed therefore I require a ball with high compresion. To be exact my swing spped averages at about 105. I can feel the diffrence between a 90 & 100 compresion ball. The 90 feels like I'M hitting a wet sponge while the 100 is nice and solid. The only issue here is that 99% of manufacturers do not put the ball compresion on the package anymore!

    For the last two seasons I only used two brand of balls. The Dunlop Loco Pro was one. This ball was a fairly cheap high compresion 3 piece. I loved it but they were difficult to come by and when I found a Pro Shop that had them I would purchase 5 dozen. If the Dunlops were not to be had I would invest in Srixon's HRX which was a nice high compresion 3 piece but a little pricier than the Dunlop but still a very nice ball.

    Today at the shop none of these cheaper high compresion balls were to be found! They had the newer Callaways, Bridgestones, & Titleists...bit I refuse to pay $40 for a dozen...that is just plain crazy since I play a lot & with these steep prices it would put me in the poor house fairly quickly. Not that I lose a lot of balls while playing but the 3 pieces do get scuffed up during a round of play which requires a new ball.

    I did look at some high compression two piece balls but these things drive me nuts. While I can get some great distance with them off the tee and on fairly long approach shots.....they bite the bullet when you need them to hold a green! They are like a tennis ball!

    So I'M just wondering if any of you guys know of a fairly decent 3 piece high comopresion ball that won't break the bank? Any suggestions?

    Precept U-Tri's are $15 a dozen at Golf Galaxy because they are taking them out of circulation...that is the same ball as the Bridgestone B330
