Summary:
I purchased 3 dozen of these on special offer but still have 2 dozen left. This is mainly because of there durability. With my old clubs (Titleist 990 short irons & Adams T Watson wedges) the groves just chewed the covers up and not even with good contacts. The last time I used them I used 3 balls in 9 holes and after the round each one went into the practice bag. There durabilty has been mentioned before so I am not alone.

It was a shame really as they are quite a nice ball. Soft feel, good distance.

I will be using them on practive round this year just to use them up, but will stick with my BH Tour deep for serious play.

Summary:
I got a sleeve of these recently because I had heard a lot of good things about the ball. They are long off the tee, they give a lovely medium to high flight and do hold pretty well into the green. In saying that, the greens on my local course are being watered heavily in the morning due to a spell of dry weather, so they should hold no problem.
In terms of durability, I pulled out this ball on the 7th tee as I wanted to try it out. When I got to the 11th hole (par Five) I played my third shot from 105 yards out with my 56 degree wedge. I hit thru the ball with a nice decending blow and I knew it was going to be stone dead. But it hit the green and spun back a good ten feet. When I got to the green and picked up the strata, the text on the cover was chewed up. I didn't hit it hard because I wanted to control the trajectory into the green. The "Spintack" cover didn't hold up that well after only 5 holes. I put it away again as I was concerned how the ball flight would be affected. Now I can't complain because these balls are going for about 12 dollars a box on the net. So if you are happy to change the ball during your round, these are a good buy. I may buy some more for winter time because they are well worth the money.

Summary:
This ball is not particularly long, not particularly soft, doesn't spin a whole lot, and the cover shreds like crazy. Got these on clearance for $12/dozen, but won't go out of my way to buy any more.

Summary:
nice ball for the price. 4 dozen personalized for 56 bucks. it was really long off the tee and it did check up on the greens, and it did feel soft. but off of a wedge it cuts like Gerry Cooney. but for the price it's a really nice ball. it stayed pretty straight for a 3 piece ball.

Summary:
Very consistent distance and control. Stops easily on green from 60-120 yards, backs up a bit if struck well. Hops about 10 feet from ball mark when hit from over 120 yards into greens. Cover is soft and showed scuffs from club face from lofted irons.
