Summary:
Ok, I will try to be way more helpful than most of these reviewers on this site have been...
Previous balls used - Nike Mojo, Maxfli Rev. EXT, Titleist NXT tour, Pinnacle Exception.
This ball sidespins WAY less on drives than the Mojo, and the Rev. EXT. - NO COMPARISON. As for the NXT and the Exception (NXT and Exception are the same ball from the same factory with different labels. Titleist owns Pinnacle and uses the EXACT same polymers in the covers and guts of both balls. The dimple is their standard Titleist/Pinnacle isocahedral.) This balls dimple pattern might be gimmicky, but Dunlop claims the Moebius has the TIGHTEST dispersion pattern around due to it. Well, on the course the distance from the 80's/90's compression of the Moebius isn't too much greater than the 70's NXT/Exception. Where the real difference lies is with chip shots. Both the NXT/Pinnacle and Moebies can be made to back up a little on pitch shots, but the control of the Moebius in chipping blows the soft/bouncy others out of the water. When you hit the NXT/Pinnacle - there is no sense of control, no click, just a soft thud as you watch the ball bounce past the hole. Not so with the Moebius. You feel like your iron is attached to the ball the whole way to the hole as you steer it in. All in all a great ball. I'd play it forever but it appears Dunlop is going away from sophisticated golf equipment to gimmicky soft balls. How many UGLY LoCo products do we need? - None. We need the Moebius to actually be available to more people. If Dunlop execs were smart, they'd drop the LoCo and J.D.'s redneck line of putters, and strictly make balls like these. I am afraid these balls won't see the end of 2005. I am looking for a 3-piece ball to replace them with when that happens. I swing in the low 100's, I like a ball with a slight click, and I don't care for low OR high comp. balls. Medium Compression like the Srixon UR-X and Moebius work best. This willl be tough because manufacturers think we are too stupid to care about compression other than "soft and long". Dunlop has always been great about posting specs. It's too bad what's happening to them. This ball REALLY kills the big boys.

Customer Service:

Summary:
I tried this as low cost 3-piece ball. I have only played two rounds with it, but they happened to be my lowest rounds of the year (81 and 79). Distance was fine, and it checks up nicely on the greens. It putts well, too, since it fells nice and smooth. Durability is not that great, but you can play a full round with one ball, which is all I ever ask for.

Mostly 2-piece balls. Started out this year using Pinnacle Exception. I will be sticking with the 3-piece Moebius.
