Summary:
I've used many different balls that bill themselves as distance balls with a good soft feel around the green. I find that the feel of the CB1 red off the tee is hard enough to give instant feedback but soft enough for control. On the green it sticks well for a distance ball. As of right now, its the only ball I play as I find it to be the best balance of distance and feel.

Summary:
Ball flies true and straight. Can be worked both ways and sticks on the green pretty well. Distance is above average. Great ball for the price!

Summary:
I've never played brand name balls, I usually play Top Flights because they aren't very expensive. I've picked up a box of CB1's and decided to give a good ball a try and see if they really are game improvers. My answer. A resounding YES. These balls are really longer off the tee and spin more than your average ball. I played my first round with this ball this afternoon and I hit a 297 yrd drive and 3 others over 260. I usually hit my driver between 240-260. I added 10 to 15 yards in length with this ball for sure. This ball also produced a good amount of spin with wedges and other irons. I backed a few balls up with my lob wedge which I never usually do. The CB1 Red's also putt and chip nicely. Very soft and quiet off my putter. This took some getting used to at first, but this ball rolls very nicely on the greens and spins alot on short chips. As for durability, I was impressed. I played a whole round with one ball and yes I did have two small scuffs but no major cuts or nicks that could affect play. Overall, I doubt I'll play another ball anytime soon. These Red's are great balls, I can see them taking at least 2-3 strokes off my game possibly. No wonder high end balls cost more money, at $20 what can you lose?
