Summary:
I marshall my local course once or twice a week. I get to keep all the lost balls that I find. I've banged about every ball on the market.

After finally getting serious about sticking to one type of ball for shot consistency, I save all the Titleist Pro V1X I find. I like the feel of the ball both off the driver & the putter. Seems to be a best feel vs. performance compromise for me.

Well I found a couple of Callaway HX Hot balls and decided to use them over some water hazard shots to avoid losing my precious Pro V1X's. Well I was surprised by the HX Hot distance & feel off my 3 iron - Soft contact but long boring trajectory.

So I purchased a 12 pack (Heresy for a golf Marchall!) of HX Hot for $27. Now after 5 games played with them, I'm less impressed with the ball.

Don't get me wrong I like the HX Hot better than the cheap plastic rocks I used to play (like Top Flight, Wilson Ultra, Slazenger, Molitors, etc...) But when the Callaways are all gone, I'm not purchasing more.

It's back to the 2nd hand Pro V1X for me. I score better with the Titleist balls.

On a golf ball? What's next, serial numbers on balls?

I've swung at every ball ever made. I don't play the hard plastic ones anymore since I can drive a nice draw 260 yards on a regular day with a softer ball.

Summary:
I found this ball to be hard. It rolled a lot, whichis Great in the fairway, but not good when I tried to get it to stick on the greens.
This ball did not have a good feel off my wedges and was hard off the putter.
I did get a sleeve for free from a magazine subscription, so I did not purchase them.
I would play this ball as a last resort.
