Wilson Smart Core Spin Distance

Summary:
I got 2 sleeves of these free and I was really looking forward to hitting them. I got the chance yesterday morning, and I was disappointed. I love the Smart Core Pro Distance and I've had good results with the Straight Distance as well, but these fell far short of the other 2 models.

I lost distance off my woods and irons, and spin is a relative word... they do hold the greens better than the old Top Flites and other "rock" distance balls, but don't expect them to check up like a Pro V1 or an A-10.

I lost one of them, and the other 5 are going into the shag bag.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend these balls. The price is good, though at $1 per ball in most stores.

Not to be totally negative... if you're looking for an inexpensive quality ball that is moderate in spin, distance, and feel, then this may fill your needs. It's a middle of the road/compromise ball, that does everything ok but nothing great.

Summary:
This is the one of the best balls that I have ever used. It has good distance off the driver but seems to excel off of the irons. It has a soft feel and is very controlable. Good spin to the greens and putts well.

Summary:
This is my current ball of choice, I am getting good distance from both my woods and my irons, also I am not experiencing too much left to right spin as I have on many previous "spin" balls. I can also get them to stop reasonably quickly on the green, and for me they have a good "feel" when putting.

Summary:
Great Ball. I average around 82 and this is my favourite ball. All my best rounds are with Smart Cores including a 73 in the first round of a tournament. Reacts especially well with Fat Shaft Irons which I have.
