Most Expensive Golf Balls for Your Game

1. Attomax Golf Ball: $249/Dozen
At $249 per dozen, the Attomax holds the title of most expensive golf ball of 2024
FIND ON AMAZON
Price: $249/Dozen
Conforming: No
Attomax says it makes the world's longest golf ball, claiming to beat the competition by 15-20 yards. We say it makes the world's most expensive golf ball, checking in at $249 per dozen. One of these things can be proven with a few minutes on the internet. The other? You'll have to be the judge for yourself.
Attomax uses amorphous metal allow in its ultra-premium golf ball. The funny part is, even for $249 per dozen, you don't get a urethane cover. The Attomax is an ionomer-covered ball, built for distance. The other kick is, the Attomax does not appear on the USGA and R&A's 80-page list of conforming golf balls. That means that sadly, no, the Attomax is not legal for tournament play.
The Attomax is available in three offerings, Medium, Soft and Hard. The faster your swing speed, the firmer ball you should use. Since each share the same price, they share ownership of our top spot as the most expensive golf ball.
2. Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot: $200-$225/Dozen
FIND ON EBAY
Price: $200-$225/Dozen
Conforming: Yes
One of the most wanted golf balls on the secondary market is actually very new. Since 2013, the Titleist Pro V1 Left Dot model is only offered to touring professionals.
If you hold this version next to a standard Pro V1, you would only notice a singular dot on the left side of the putting sight line. So what’s the deal with the dot? This model was uniquely made to have an even lower ball flight. It was produced due to a large number of requests from Titleist's tour players.
It’s been reported that the Left Dot has been in play in 24 PGA Tour wins and by players such as Henrik Stenson, Patrick Reed, Daniel Berger, and Tony Finau.
In September of 2021, Titleist decided to pull back the curtain and offer the mythical golf ball to the general public. The price was the same as the regular Pro V1 at $50/dozen. The golf balls sold out quickly. Now, the secondary market is the only place to find them. The average sale price on eBay for a dozen Left Dots? $200.
3. Dixon Fire: $75/Dozen
SHOP DIXON
Price: $75/Dozen
Conforming: Yes
It's all about perspective, and after reading about a ball that costs $250 per dozen that lacks a urethane cover and doesn't conform to the Rules of Golf, dropping $75 on a dozen conforming, urethane-covered Dixon Fire golf balls doesn't seem so bad.
New for 2024, the updated Dixon Fire golf ball features a recyclable urethane cover and is best for players with swing speeds over 100 mph. With a compression rating of 90, it delivers a firmer feel with a medium trajectory and high spin profile. With all that in mind, it's designed for better players.
While making a premium golf ball geared towards lower-handicap players doesn't make any golf ball company unique, Dixon's focus on eco-friendly products does. The recycleable cover is only part of that green mission. Dixon opts for heavy earth salts instead of heavy metal fillers in its golf balls. The company also uses the most eco-friendly packaging possible, and plants one tree for each qualifying online purchase.
4. LA GOLF Beverly Hills: $69.99/Dozen
FIND AT GOLF GALAXYFIND ON AMAZON
Price: $69/Dozen
Conforming: Yes
For as long as we can remember, Titleist has set the bar among golf balls. That statement is rock solid for performance, but also applies to pricing.
However, LA GOLF is challenging Titleist's pricing ceiling with its new Beverly Hills golf ball, a 4-piece ball that is comparable to the Pro V1x, yet costs even more. Checking in at $69.99 per dozen, the luxurious Beverly Hills golf ball offers high spin from the short game clubs, and low spin and loads of distance in the long game.
It really does perform quite comparably to the Pro V1x. If you're looking for something new and different from a mainstream Titleist, this is a great option. However, if you're looking for a ball that performs objectively better, you'll be hard-pressed to find a noticeable performance gap.
5. Titleist Pro V1 Military Editions: $69.99/Dozen
FIND AT GOLF GALAXY
Price: $69/Dozen
Conforming: Yes
You should expect to see TItleist all over any list of the most expensive golf balls, hence the second mention in the first half of our list (and we're not done with them yet). Titleist offers officially licensed U.S. military logoed versions of its Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls. Choose from any branch of the U.S. military for $69.99 per dozen.
6. Titleist Pro V1 Double Digit Personalized: $64.99/Dozen
FIND AT GOLF GALAXY
Price: $64/Dozen
Conforming: Yes
The final offering from Titleist on this list is another custom option. For $64.99 you can snag a dozen double-digit, personalized balls from the Pro V1 family.
In addition to selecting your own personalized number for your choice of Pro V1, Pro V1x, or Pro V1 Left Dash ball, you can add up to three lines of personalized text in your choice of color.
7. TaylorMade TP5 Personalized: $61.99/Dozen
FIND AT GOLF GALAXY
Price: $61/Dozen
Conforming: Yes
If you want a personalized ball that's something other than a Titleist, TaylorMade is happy to personalize its 5-piece, TP5 ball for you. Checking in at $61.99 per dozen, it's yet another offering that exceeds the $60 price point.
All of the sudden a $50 box of balls is starting to sound like a bargain. You can personalize your TP5 with up to three lines of text in one of five color options.
8. Callaway Chrome (Tour, Tour X, Soft) Personalized: $58.99/Dozen
FIND AT GOLF GALAXY
Price: $58/Dozen
Conforming: Yes
The new-for-2024 Callaway Chrome series includes the Chrome Tour, Chrome Tour X and Chrome Tour Soft. Whichever ball you choose, you can have it personalized in one of seven color options with three lines of text for $58.99 per dozen.
The 3-piece Chrome Soft is the straightest-flying, softest-feeling option of the bunch. The Chrome Tour is a mid-spin 4-piece ball, while the Chrome Tour X is a higher-spin, firmer, 4-piece ball. All are geared towards the better players.
Most Expensive Collectable Golf Balls
Not all expensive golf balls are made to be played. In fact, the most expensive golf balls out there should be used as a collectors item only. You'll be shocked to see how much some eBay sellers want for these golf balls.
Ping 2 Color Balls: $10- $400 Per Ball
The 1980’s were a funny time for colors and style. Just as PING was making massive headway with equipment, the company also produced some of the most unique golf balls ever seen.
The PING Eye and Eye2 golf balls were dual colored, split 50/50 right down the “poles” of the golf ball. Traditional golfers scoffed at them, with sneers that the balls belonged at the local mini-golf course. These PING golf balls, however, are getting the last laugh as they are now extremely collectible.
It’s reported that PING created close to 100 different color combinations, some in higher volume than others. In addition, the Eye2 model was only around a few years before PING decided to scrap production. That also makes the Eye2’s more valuable today.
eBay sales results show a wide range of options and pricing. A few examples:
- A new pink/red combination sold for $50
- A new blue/metallic gold combination sold for $299
- A used plum/yellow combination sold for $389
- A lot of 14 of these two-tone balls with a list price of $3,799
If you find yourself cleaning out your old golf gear and come across one of these dual color golf balls, don’t make them your “water ball” or let the dog chew on them.
“Gutty” Balls: Up to $4,200
Up until the mid-1800’s, golf balls were predominantly made from feathers, known as “featheries.” Then, along came an innovative design of a ball made from gutta-percha gum. The ball was smooth but golfers noticed it actually played better after it had some nicks and scratches on it.
Soon, the new balls were adopted and given the name, “gutties.” A new era in the game of golf began.
Today, having a gutty in your display case is a thing of beauty. Some of the earliest versions are difficult to find unplayed, while some collectors strictly prefer the look of used gutties. Here are a few examples of eBay sales:
- A line-cut (early dimples) version dating between 1880-1890 sold for $375
- A very used version called “The Ocobo” sold for $363
- An unused, hand hammered ball is for sale with an asking price of $4,200
