Try The Top Flite Soft Feel, They Are Good And They Are cheap $25 Per 15. And If You Do In Fact End Up In The Woods Browse Around And You Might Find Some Titleist Or Nikes. Golf Is Such A Mental Game That Sometimes Just Feeling Like You Are Playing A Better Ball Or Luckier Ball Can Help. Good Luck To Ya.

You don't need to go super cheap like some people are suggesting if you want to improve. Spending $40 a dozen isn't necessary either. A moderately priced ball that you can get some spin is the best choice if you're looking to lower your scores.
Look for Nike Power Distance Super Spin. They were rated #2 among all balls by Consumer Reports and are only about $15 a box. Also look into Bridgestone E5 and E6. In general, look for moderately priced balls that are designed to spin at your local golf shop (Walmart and Target often carry the Nikes as well).

You don't want a very expensive 3-piece ball, but a slightly softer 2-piece one can help control around the green.
Personally, I like Pinnacle Exceptions and Srixon AD333s, which are both typically around £14 a dozen - but if you want to save even more money, Slazenger XTCs (from JJB) at £10 for 18 are very nearly as good.
Lake and found balls deteriorate depending on the time they've been exposed to the elements and are not consistent, so you can't really learn to chip or putt properly with them. 3-piece balls are designed for low-handicap players with very fast swing speeds, and even the makers don't recommend them for 20+ handicappers. Cheap hard 2-piece balls are harder to putt with and don't spin enough to stop on the green.

It depends on your game, Do you hit the ball straight or do you have alot of distance when hitting your ball off the tee? When you hit a ball does it feel like your hitting a brick? I just depends on your game. Sound as if you need to practice your putting. Putting is most of the game. If you can arrive in regulation and cant put, whats the point you will never lower your handicap. I like a titanium ball. Get several types of balls and hit them off the driving range and see which ones you like the most. Don't really prefer to hit a bollita

Go for a 2-piece golf ball.
10-20 dollar range.
20-25 for a less expensive 3-piece ball.

Go online and buy some decent used balls in bulk. Figure on dropping $100, but getting 6-8 dozen balls in good quality. That should last you a while.
Or those Titleist HVC SF balls you can get at Costco for $20/ 2 dozen? Not a bad ball for the price.

years ago I played a round at the RAC course at Epsom I was off 24 at the time,I played against a member who was off 12 and he would only allow me 18.(they did that them days) I lost my ball in the rough and he asked what ball I was using, Its a commando I said I think its a number 5.
My dear man he said If its a commando on this course it doesn't matter what number it is.
I felt really bad when I beat him 3 and 2 jj.

Not being funny but a 22 handicapper is going to lose a lot of balls, and also would not really notice any difference between them, so use what ever you find or can buy cheaply (lake balls) until you improve.
