Summary: Good all-round ball for the price, although I feel the Hi-Spin is a misnomer. It really doesn't spin as much as you would expect from a ball labelled Hi-Spin, but is certainly much longer than most "spin" balls out there. If deciding between this and the Srixon Distance ball (red box) I would choose this simply because I reckon it is just as long but feels a lot softer. A good mix of spin, feel and distance for the price!

Summary: I found this ball to be an excellent value all-round product. It seemed to have a high spin rate compared to other ‘spin balls’ in the same price band combined with decent feel and distance. There are softer and longer balls available but it makes a good choice for its solid all-round performance. Spin and feel was good off medium and short irons and putting feel was also good. Off woods, feel was again good and distance also seemed better than average for a ‘spin’ ball - a good compromise; not the longest by any means but not like hitting a rock either. For me, a mid-handicapper, it performed similarly well to Maxfli’s excellent all-rounder the ‘Revolution’, with the main differences being a little less feel and control but perhaps a touch more distance. Durability seemed to be about average with abrasive wear similar to most ‘soft’ balls. Overall, the differences in all-round performance at the level I play at are (surprisingly to me) not that vast to premium balls I have used – low handicappers may disagree. If you are not a label man and don’t wish to splash out on top-of-the-line products but like to have good feel and control, especially on approach shots, this ball should give good return for a fairly modest outlay. Five stars for value.

Summary: not that impressed with this ball as a spin ball. have played 3-4 times and the spin just doent seem to be there, especially on chip shots. distance seems to be fairly good, but alot of other spin balls are better.

Summary: Reasonable distance and spin. However, the ball grows hair after the first hit with a short iron. Looks like hell after only a few holes. On balance, though, even when it is ugly it still drives well and it will continue to stick. The soft cover also makes it a pleasant ball to chip and putt.
If you a budget golfer and don't mind knocking around a ball that ends up looking worse than most range balls it is a good buy. It certainly gives you the opportunity to work on your control game without going broke. If your ball has to look pristine before each hole and you have an aggressive swing, a dozen won't last a round -- look elsewhere.
