A recent review: Are your balls to blame?
When PGA Tour players show up to the range at a tour event, they’re typically provided an unlimited supply of the golf balls they use in competition. This allows tour players to use the driving range as a nearly equal testing ground for the golf course.
Most driving ranges don’t offer the same luxury.
Token-buying driving range customers are served with buckets of mystery. Since the range balls at your local nugget-smacking spot rarely come fresh out of $15 sleeves, their performance rarely matches that of your gamer golf ball.

Range vs. Premium golf balls: I hit both on a launch monitor to find out the differences
How much different are range balls compared to high-end golf balls used on tour? I hit both on a launch monitor to find out.
