Pretty good ball! They feel a bit like a Strata or Maxfli Revolution. Held greens pretty well and carried well off the driver and long-irons. This is a distance ball and works well for longer-courses with bump and run approaches.

I'd like to try the other smartcores to compare the various models. I received a dozen of these free from the Wilson web-site's contest. All balls seem to be getting better these days and this is an example.

Good feel. Easily compared to Maxfli MD's I normally play with. Better putting ball, I've found. I'll continue to use them.

This ball flies long and straight, but still has admirable feel around the greens and off the putter. I either play this or the Titleist Tour Prestige, which is pretty good company for a "game improvement" ball. When my swing is slightly off, I can still count on my yardages and little loss of direction, not to mention the fact that I can routinely get the ball to sit and even back up with my 7-wood.

I had been playing Maxfli Revolution balls, ($34 retail), and was given a sleeve of these as a gift. I played them when my swing had left me on a difficult course and fell in love with them. They may not be quite the same as a Revolution or Titleist Professional, but for the value (19.99 on Buy.com with free shipping), I believe they are the best ball on the market.

I was looking for a mid-level ball that was straight off the drive, but didn't feel like a rock and had some greenside spin, all for around $20. I tried these balls out when a sales person at my local golf store recommended them and said they were on sale for $16/dozen.

These balls do exactly what they say. They are very long and straight, have a nice soft feel, and produce a lot of greenside spin, exactly what I wanted. I found my new main ball!

Ya other balls might be better in one area of the golf gam, but this ball is really good in all areas, much like the ProV1, but at less than 1/2 the price. This ball will still hook or slice if you have a really poor swing. However, it did lessen my fade to where it is in the fairway more often.

I played this ball along with a ProV1 and felt they played and preformed just about the same for MY GAME. With one ball at $40/dozen and the other at $16/dozen, which one do you think I am going with!!!

Well worth giving this ball a try.

The ball is unbelievable. It states that the ball is for those who slice but I play a draw and this ball actually corrects the hook and slice. Off the tee it is long and usually straight and off the irons it does not spin as much as soft balls but I can still get some spin. It actually has a drop & stop action on approach shots and you have to adjust your chip shots for more roll. A DEFINATE MUST TRY. If you like the Lady Precept you will LOVE this ball.

I loved the ball.It was long from the tee and the irons. I had to drop down a club from 180yds and in. Downs, it will slice or hook easy, but if you can make an easy swing the ball goes great. It will stop on greens and putts good. Go buy some, you will love them.

Been using this ball through the Scottish winter. Conditions, as you'd guess, are wet and soft underfoot. I haven't lost any distance as this ball goes as far through the air in winter as any other ball goes in total distance during the summer - unless ground hard and following wind!! great ball that feels good off the face and you still get the control around the green. Will try the other ranges of smart cores in the summer.

Customer Service

Had a problem initially with custom fitting my clubs - once Wilson knew what I wanted they were great. I would recommend their custom fit centres to anyone.
