When I first started playing golf and I started losing balls in the course because of my bad golfing I used to save those one or two balls after putting as I was lazy to go back and hit them. But then it suddenly struck me that I am actually stealing these balls and I only pay to hit them and not take them home. I also felt embarrassed when I was on the golf course playing with some strangers and I was the only person on the green with a range ball . It kind of felt cheap . When you can get a ball for 50 cents or less why play range balls ?
I also noticed that when you have range balls you feel like trying more than one shot and a practise shot and what not which completely take away the fun that day . This is one of the reasons I think we play better with strangers than our buddies cause we are not playing seriously and golf being such a sensitive game mentally it can screw up that whole round of golf for yourself and your buddies .

Testing Drivers: TaylorMade R7 460
TayloreMade R7 460cc 10.5 degree, Stiff Fujikura RE*AX shaft
Aah... finally a driver that feels good in my hands.
Initial swings gave me fades/push trajectories (the face angle is closed, unlike the Callaway FT3 tour I tried earlier). But after fixing my stance to accomodate the large head (I kept it further away from me), I was able to get it working for me. One thing I observed is that I did not have wicked slices with this driver.
My latest swing speed on InPractis system (http://www.inpractis.com/) was 109mph with this driver and speed ratio of 1.3 (effective ball speed of 142 mph). Hopefully one day I can swing at 120mph and get 160mph ball speed.
As I liked almost everything, here is what I did not like: SPIN. The driver gave mid-high spin on the ball, so there is hardly any roll. I wonder if I can fix this with the weight configurations (now do I need a quad for that?).
After trying a lot of drivers, I think this one is a keeper.
