Like most other reviewers, I found the Noodle to be vey long off the tee. It does putt well and my irons hold well with decent spin, but I hit very high irons. I am switching back to NXTs because the Noodle has an odd habit of really flying off my irons about twice a round. These shots are not bladed shots, but every now and then I get 10-20 extra yards off an iron shot. These shot have the same trajectory, they just really fly. This has happened to me with with everything from a sand wedge to a 6 iron. I plan on keeping a few around for scrambles to hit off the tee since I have hit my longest drives ever with these balls.

I am not an expert golfer, but I really like these balls. They are extremely long off the tee. I think the added distance is because they roll forever. When I go to the driving range I usually hit about 280 if I hit a good drive with range balls. I have hit these balls 330 on the course several times, and usually average about 300. They also seem to fly a little straighter off the tee than most balls do. There seem to be a lot of reviews that say these balls are hot around the green. I have not experienced that. If I hit a green with a 7 iron or below they stick pretty well. Granted, they don't back up, but they do usually stay within a couple of feet if where they land. The only problem with these balls is that they do scuff pretty easily, and mine seem to have a freindly relationship with trees so I do have to replace them quite often. For the money they are a great ball.

A surprisingly great ball for dirt cheap (15 bucks at costco). I've found that it stops extremely well on irons--literally staying within a 2 foot radius of your ball mark. Could use a little bit more hold on chips and pitches, but not too bad. Distance off the tee didn't blow me away, but decent.

This is a good all around ball, not as soft as the Titleist DT So/Lo but a great ball nonetheless. It has great distance not the best, but among the best. I have no problem spinning irons onto the green, it hits and rolls about 4-6 feet with my 6 iron on medium firmness greens. I don't think it would hold to well on fast, firm greens thought. The only real weakness that I know of is that this ball does not very controlable when near the green if attempting a drop and stop, the ball releases to easily. If your game is to always to bump and run it is perfect for that. It was a buttery soft feel on my white hot insert putter that is probably the best I will find. All in all this is a great value if you are looking for a great all around ball, but I concentrate on using my short game to my advantage since I can only hit about 270 max and average about 230/240 and use my wedges a lot, so I need exceptional short game spin and this is the only thing the noodle lacks. As for the people who say they overshoot the green by like 30 yards, it hasnt happened on my irons yet but I have had some fairway shots that went further than I expected. You shouldn't be disappointed if you buy this ball it is a great ball for just a round out, but for tournaments, look for a ball that has the short game control such as the Callaway HX Blue 3-Piece.

You name it... lots of maxflis, titleists, stratas, callaways, and topflites.

Great ball. You will definitley drive further, but you will need to get used to it around the green(it acts like no other ball ive used). Would recommend, but i still prefer the Srixon AD333 for the same price. The AD333 acts just like a ProV1 but less than half the price. Does scuff very easily.

I purchased these once, and they are so popular, I always find them lying around. You know, everytime I decide to tee one up to crank it on a drive, I end up hitting it really long. There's no denying that Noodles rule the roost when it comes to two-piecers. For that reason I'll give it a five. My problem with this ball is that it just doesn't stop. These damn things are like those super balls you used to get out of gumball machines at the 5 & Dime. I've ended up 100 yards past the green on chips that I barely touch (not skulled shots). Sometimes, I'll tee these up on long par 5's and switch to a Tour Ball for my second or third shot when my playing partners aren't looking. I'm a cheater, you see. If you can somehow get these things to stop for you on your approach shots, play these. They really are better than that Locos and the SoLos and the Money Balls and the Lady's or Ladies' out there.

I've tried all of the new "long and soft" balls this spring and I keep coming back to the Noodle. It's still the best. Especially since they've improved it and expanded the model lineup to include a spin ball and max distance ball. The Titleist Solo is a good ball too, but not quite as long as the new Noodle. For $20 a box, you can't go wrong with the Noodle.

Reviewed this ball when it first came out. Really liked it then, after playing with it off and on, I found it was fun to play with. Good distance and excellent feel. So after one full year of off and on play it's continually my favorite.

This is really a terrific ball. Extremely all-around. Very long, spins well, and has that soft putting feel. Comes off the driver very strong, no weak sounding or feeling ball here. Durabality is good too, but the markings will start to flake-off well before the ball is used up. I would rate this ball as High in length, medium spin, medium durability, high overall value.

When I first played this ball, I was amazed like everyone else. It is super long and soft. It bites okay with irons. I thought the original noodle lack some spin around the green. I did see a problem with this ball though. Occasionally, I will hit a rediculously long (20 to 30 yards) over the green. I think this ball serves well on casual rounds (Especially with the price). But if you want some consistency, look for something else. Noodle spin is sligtly better in my opinion.
