Received two free sleeves of these after completing a survey from Slazenger. Not a bad golf ball. Better feeling than the raw distance slazenger which IMHO is a harder rock than a pinnacle or molitor. They stopped making these as far as I know so I wouldn't read to far into the reviews on this one. Slazenger is now making the Power Control in 408 dimple only.

Pretty good ball for distance but terrible for feel and accuracy. Too damn hot to hold the green and always roll off or away. Slazenger does not make a good product. No tour player uses them and they feel terrible. I bought five dozen and I regret that now!

Retailer was closing out for $10 a dozen, and I used to play the Raw Distance and knew this ball was pretty much the same, so I bought 12 dozen (a case) for my father (kept 1 for myself). Played with this ball while in Florida - awesome distance and accuracy, but not easy to hold firm greens from 175+. However, best value for a ball I've ever found!

Found one of these the other day on the front nine, and decided to play it on the back. Very impressive. Average distance off the tee, but very straight. One hop stops into the greens from six iron up, good feel off wedges when I did miss the green, and rolled well (if a little short) off the putter. I made two birdies and shot a 38 on the back. I Felt in control of every shot. I''m going to buy a sleeve next time out and play eighteen with it and see how it goes, but I think I have found a winner. Anyone want a box of Stratas.

This is a good ball along with the DC Tour. Very durable cover with decent spin and feel. Having a tough cover means a sacrifice in feel, but this ball does a good job in allowing the golfer to have decent feel and sping. Overall, if YOU are looking for a decent ball with good durability and feel and spin then give it a try. It might not be for you, but then again if you don't try, you don't know what you might be missing.

In my humble opinion, this is not a very good ball. I bought a sleeve at my local pro shop, along with the Slazenger DC Tour (a much better ball that I'd consider playing if it were more available). After using the Power Control on a couple holes I wanted to throw the sleeve in the nearest pond. They play like rocks to me- literally. Exceptionally hard ball with no feel off the putter or anywhere else. Maybe that makes them go far, but that's only one aspect of the game. Best thing I can say about them is they have a cool logo.

Great ball, very durable, and very looooong. Has just enough spin to make it pretty reliable from 100 yds, when firing at the flag with your wedge.
Hey spend $50-$60 bucks for the V1, but remember: they all play the same at the bottom of the lake.

This is probably one of the best balls out there. It is underrated, mostly because of the type of marketing that Slazenger has done. It has always targeted the country-club type, but now they are putting their equipment into off-course shops and some sporting goods stores like Dick's sporting goods - dsports.com. The ball has a nice feel when putting, a durable cover, low spin when using the driver, but can be spun when hitting the wedge into the green.
Probably one of the best kept secrets around.

I hit this ball a mile, but I doubt I could stop it in quick sand. Typically, I stop an 8 iron cut on my fav par 3 within 10' of the ball mark. With these I rolled 2 off the back of the green. Great ball for the long ball fan, but eventually you've got to stop the ball on a green.
