Get a ball that suits your swing speed.
Other factors include feel, distance, bite on green and putting roll.

Play the ball that gets you birdies

try this for starters http://www.golfballguide.com/golf_ball_review_guide.htm

mark the good balls. buy them in bundles when they are on sale. 
whenever i loss  a new ball, am taking it as a lesson fees to play better game.
the more ex the ball, e higher spin on green, to me is better short game (though am still playing high scores).

I keep trying different balls to see which gives me good feel and results(thought I'm a newbie), so far I like the TM Noodle Long & Soft(prev by Maxfli). First time with it got 2 birdies 2 holes apart though I'm a very high hcp player.

@brendanzhou, this might be more info the you are looking for. But nonetheless, an interesting read:

My favourite ball is Prov1x but I don't mind TPx as the latter is considered very good for the price I am paying ...

Thanks for the feedback and articles! I've wanting to try those premium balls w high spin but there are some people who say that the high spin will also work against u when u slice or hook the ball (the unintended slice/hook will be worse than when using a low spin ball). Is that true?

@brendanzhuo, yes the slice and hooks get more pronounced.  Spin is 3 dimensional, if the backspin can get more intense, so can sidespin. For some players who like to work the ball like Bubba Watson, its a good thing. 

For the rest of us, well work your way through softer multi layer balls first and see your preference.

Golf Direct should have stock on it. You might want to call them up to check?

in the early days of my golfing , Golf Balls in black number are 100% compression n Number in Red is 90% compression. Lower compression balls are for lady. The better one is Balata Ball n a dozen costs $100+. if u cut up a ball , the inner core is made by thin rubber string wound into a ball about 25 mm in diameter.
There are cases where the ball splits into 2 during play. your kaki will choose the half that you have to finish the hole.

Last saw at MST selling about $27 a box. About a mth ago.

Thought I saw it at GD Commonwealth, maybe its Chromesoft if not Supersoft.

ya.. GD is currently selling at Chromesoft.. not Supersoft. 

The price difference is quite significant for a noobie player like me..

Then try srixon soft feel also about $20 a box if you got the 5 boxes promo..

chrome soft
