Summary:
Every year at the start of a season I purchase various sleeves of balls to choose one for the season. To me its part of my equipment to understand how the ball will behave. Not sure why I did it again this year because I have been playing this ball since it came out on the market.
Ball is long and very consiestant. Great feel and holds greens very well. Will stick where it lands. Holds the line well putting as well.
I do only get one round out of a ball, as the cover does get worn out during a round. But have to supply the wife with water balls somehow.

Customer Service:
Callaway customer service is the best. Always helpful and friendly.

Summary:
I paid $40 for a dozen and have never regretted the purchase.These balls really fly well and I've picked up around 25 yards with the driver at least.Last Saturday I was on a par 5 for 2 for the ist time in 10 years.I've only lost 1 ball in the last 8 weeks (in the water)so they're straight as well.I've had no problem at all scuffing the ball and have played well ever since I started with them.If only I could get them at the sorts of prices you can in the USA I'd never change.

Summary:
I've very much enjoyed playing these for 7-8 rounds but felt compelled to submit review after price dropped to $23/dozen. Terrific distance, tracking, and if any ball would stick in a given situation, these will. Top notch feel around the greens. May have slightly less cover durability than Pro-V but I still get 1.5-2 rounds out of them (with seemingly no performance degradation)so at less than half the cost, not a deterrent. This ball is terrific and by far the best price/performance I've found, and I felt that way when they were $30.

Summary:
I thought this was a great ball. My favorite out of the Callaway line. Ball held its pattern pretty well, gets up in the air easily, held the green well, putted well--overall a really nice ball. I didn't notice the scuffing problem. I felt it looked nicer after the round then a CTU. Great ball!

Customer Service:
SUPER!

Summary:
Not sure what to think of these balls. I like the looks of them. They so seem to stay in the air per Callaway's claims. Not so sure I liked the way they feel at impact. Also, other reviewers are correct... they scuff up way too easy. With the dry conditions in Colorado, the ball was scuffing after just a few holes. I like the Laddie and the Srixon Soft Feel better and they're less expensive. Try the Maxfli Revolution Solid... nice ball, but a bit pricey.
