I was prepared to love these based on the reviews. Wow, was I disappointed. Nothing bad about the ball, but nothing great either. Distance wasn't as long as Nikes and while the ball is soft, it's also mushy.

I am a PGA International Master Teaching Pro and owner of Mind Power Golf Schools. I'm sure that if Wilson paid enough money to have a tour player use this ball, they'd probably be able to market the ZIP for $4 per ball. I buy them from a seller in Florida who ships free. Just bought my second lot of 6 dozen for $52 shipped to Hawaii. This is the BEST ball I've ever played at any price. Every bit as good as the Titleist Pro Vi. In fact I used the last dozen of my Pro Vi balls on the range just to get rid of them. You HAVE to try the zero compression ZIP. It's THE BEST and way too cheap. (Shhh!)

I have been playing the Wilson ZIP golf balls for over 6-months. This is the BEST golf ball for the price. The feel of the golf ball reminds me of the old Titleist balata balls. Great feel and distance.

Best ball I've ever used period and the price is fantastic. Read some reviews and decided to try some. Bought 48 balls for 49.00 @ goofballs. com. I've tried lots of goofballs and these compare quite well with Pro Vs, but a lot less money. They feel like butter when struck, distance isn't bad and they stick on greens. After the first round playing with them, I got home from the course and bought 4 more boxes. I hope Wilson keeps these in production - can't justify paying the pro v price.

I picked this ball up for a steal at Martin's Golf in Myrtle Beach for only $4.99 per dozen, new!

Whether they worked for me or not didn't matter, I figured my son could always use them. At that price, I wasn't about to walk away as I bought 8 dozen.

I should have bought more, since I'd yet to try them out I didn't want to buy too much. ;-)

I was concerned playing a "zero compression" core ball. My swing speed isn't the fastest but I do get it up between 110-115 mph with driver.

I played the ball for two full rounds in overcast/misty weather at about 45 degrees. Off the driver, I got more than acceptable distance (not the longest I've played but just fine in the distance department). Ball-flight was mid-height and penetrating. Irons, distance and shot shape, were consistent with a satisfying click at impact. Short approaches do suffer a bit of roll out but it's not really much and I found it easy to adjust. Off the putter, while I wouldn't call the feel soft, I do have to say that I liked the feel very much. My lag putting with this ball was better than it was all week with my regular ball (Taylor Made TP Red LDP).

Even after the round in a side by side comparison with my regular ball on the practice green, hands down, I lagged better with the Zip. Being that longer putts have always been a problem for me, that's a very big plus for the Zip.

Overall, I'd say this is a fantastic ball. At the price I scored it for, it's a no-brainer. But even at four times the cost, I'd still consider it to be a very, very solid ball. Surprising, at least to me, but very true indeed.

Maybe summer temps will prove the zero compression core to be not so good of a fit for me, I don't know. But for now, in the cooler weather at least, they're very safely in the bag.

Finally found my golf ball. Have fallin in love with this ball.My driving accuracy has improved by 15% and I love the feel when putting with this ball. Very little side spin when driving this ball. I hit this ball straiter and further than any ball I have ever used. Living in canada you can't find them new any more so i buy them used from Knetgolf.com for 12.95 a dozen what a steal. this ball stops on dime no matter which iron you use. The best ball period.

Short and sweet. Picked up a sleeve of the Wilson Zip, thought I would try them against the Callaway Diablo. Whoa! The Zip is so much straighter and flys higher. Going back to PGA Superstore and picking up a couple boxes. By looking at the wilsongolf.com website, they present the ball in their "legacy" series which might mean this ball is being replaced?? Don't know. Great ball

Found a Zip while playing, and used it for the rest of that round. Liked the performance, so bought a dozen. Last round played the Zip the entire round. Found it long off the tee. Iron shots seemed to be a little longer. Seven iron hit well released about two feet after landing. Eight iron hit well backed up about two and a half feet. This is about the same spin performance as the Titleist NXT tour I have been playing, and perhaps longer.

I have always heard of balls being compared to teh Titleist Pro V as if it were the "gold stendard."I played the Zip along with the Pro V1 yesterday.The Zip produced a higher trajectoryand farther distance of of woods and irons. The Pro V produced more greenside spin, but it all depends on your game. Club down and let the ball run to the pin instead of shooting for it. With only that exception, the Wilson Zip is superior to the Titleist Pro V. The feel is unmistakable and the distance is unmatched!

I read some good reviews for the Wilson Staff Zip golf ball, and I saw that they can be bought on-line for about $12.00 per dozen, so I gave them a try. These balls are really great! They have the feel and the sound of old wound balata balls, but amazingly, they are very long. I think that somehow, Wilson Golf is quietly making some of the best golf balls out there. Most of the balls I've played have been 2-piece balls, but I have occasionally played pro-line 3-piece balls including the Titleist Pro V1 and others. The Wilson Zip is a 3-piece ball that performs right up there with any of them. For the money, I don't think there is a better performing ball out there than the Wilson Staff Zip.
