Summary:
I bought 6 dozen for $11/doz. Figured I couldn't really go wrong at that price.

Ball is extremely soft. You cannot get a softer ball. It is terrific around the greens. On two occasions today I was wowing my group with amzing stopping power on two delicate little chips. On one the pin was tucked in the back of the green, and I was sitting about 7 yards off the front in the fairway grass. Total carry to the pin was about 25 yards. I hit a lob wedge (tucked back in my stance), and the ball got no higher than 15 feet off the ground. The ball hit the ground, bit dead and actually spun sideways a few inches. I mean it spun on a shot where the pin was only 25 yards away!! One of the members of my group told me he thought the ball was going right off the back of the green when he saw it in flight.

On another ocassion I stopped the ball going downhill from the rough!! Give me a break! That time it left me 15 ft away since I never thought it would stop in that situation.

Approach shots are excellent. Buttery soft, and no ugly side-spin effects either like with other soft balls like ProV1's.

Now the downside....This ball is short. The shortest ball I've played in a few years. Today, I had four situations where I should have flown bunkers and I didn't.
It could be as much as 15 yards short.

The feel putting, and with the wedges is incredible. Does it make-up for it's shorter length?? Well I shot 4 strokes today below my average, so overall it helps. It probably cost me three with it's short distance, not allowing me to fly hazards I normally would have.

I'm torn. Overall, I'd have to say the loss in distance does not overcome it's great feel since other balls can be had that have a better trade-off ratio. But at $11/doz, I'll find a way to get good use from them, but I won't buy anymore after I use them up.

But man can this ball SPIN!!!!!!

Summary:
I play to a 8.7 which puts me in the low 80's would love to say in the 70's but I guess honesty is more important than ego at this point in my life. I bought 5 dozen of these balls 2 years ago when they were discontued. I've been caught up in the distance,less side spin hype.I never broke a sleeve open until last week. Well I have shot 2 rounds of 76 and a 78 using this ball. I can hit a draw and a fade again with a lot less effort than with newer balls PRO V's Callaway hx tour, Nike one's. And the control around the greens is amazing its shames the others in feel and putts much truer than the others. Driver distance is about 5 to 10 yrds shorter than the other balls. But with the added spin I can take it up the left side with a little fade or more of a cut if needed. I think Maxfli made a big mistake by taking this ball out of their line up. But I guess you have to keep up with jones, and keep the investors happy. Screw the golfers what do we know. Jack knows he still uses this ball according to whats in the bag. So is longer better? Think not
