It hits long off the tee. I usually drive between 260-275, and I'm longer now with this ball. If you dont strike it pure with your iron, you wont be pleased. But when you do, its a great ball...feels very soft. If you have a consitent swing...its a great ball, if not maybe consider another. But either way, don't get too attached...they've stopped making them. You can get them for buy one get one free most places now. Similar Products Used: slazenger distance |

Great ball. Long and has decent spin. It is longer than the Titleist Tour Distance and about as long as the Maxfli Patriot. More spin than both balls. Similar Products Used: Titleist Tour Distance, Maxfli Patriot |

Smart Core Professional Distance
Started the season with the Titleist DT Wound, moved to the HP Eclipse, Professional 90, Volvik Blue 90, Kasco Rocket, and finished with the Smart Core Professional Distance. I didn't notice much more distance out of the ball but I did notice the soft feel and the playability of the ball. Shot my lowest score ever on a cold December day with extremely fast greens and some pretty hard pan fairways. The ball was exceptional and I really enjoyed playing with it and completed the entire round without losing a ball or cutting it. I have been so impressed that I am going to give some lucky person all of the Titleist balls that I have so I can play only the Smart Cores. I can't complain much about the price because I bought them as logo overruns at a good price and have since gone back to get more. Congrats to Wilson for coming up with a ball that is all that it is touted to be. Customer Service No Contact with the Wilson folks yet.

Good feel, good distance. Probably not as much spin as some others in this class. Similar Products Used: XL2000 Spin; Titleist HP Tour, Prestiege, Professional; Most others. |

I found these balls also to be just as advertised. Long off the driver, yet soft and responsive around the greens. Their durability is nothing to brag about, but it isn't too bad if you are kind to it. A worthwhile ball. Similar Products Used: None |

This ball is a jack of all trades, master of none. It is long enough, spins enough, feels good enough and is durable enough. Until someone creates a ball that feels like a Revolution but goes like a TopFlite XL, this is probably as good as it gets. Similar Products Used: Most balls on the market |

I like this ball. Oddest thing. It seems to self-correct on short irons. I usually have a draw on my approach shots but with this ball, my shot goes straight, then fades back a few yards after it reaches the height of its trajectory. Its kind of like watching a self-guiding missle in flight. I haven't had any durability problems and distance off the tee is long. Spin seems to be low. Similar Products Used: Mostly Maxfi and Titleist. |

I absolutly hated this ball, and so did everyone in my foresome. Good swings were rewarded, but the bad ones, or even the slightly imperfect, were heavily penalized. To get the real benifit from this ball, you need to be a very very consistant ball striker, which doesn't exist for anyone shooting in the 80's or 90's. I like the idea and the engineering behind this ball, but it is not for me. At $30/doz there are better balls out there for the average golfer. Similar Products Used: Nothing is like this ball. |

Awful. These balls lack distance, spin, and durability. I was all into the smart core thing until I tried the ball. I hit a couple of shots and it was already cutting. The distance was sorry for a so called distance ball, and the spin was no where to be seen. The feel was average, but stay away from this ball. Similar Products Used: None |

This ball is flat out awful. It is expensive and a rip-off. I sliced the ball continually, I have not had a consistant slice problem in more than 7 years. Similar Products Used: I don't think there is anything similar. |
