An excellent ball for a mid to high handicapper looking for a decent product on a budget. Offers some serious distance.

I've hit a few which I have found and they didn't impress me with anything outstanding.
Other than it's designed for the budget minded golfer versus a player who wants a better performance ball.

IMO, some players typically try various products, while others are set in their ways.
Most better players are typically reluctant to switch ball brands under any circumstances.

I'll curse at my buddy who's a Bridgestone Rep who throws the tour ball at me when we golf together.
I never liked the "feel or the fact it will not stop downwind very well", but have played them and scored very well.

Like they say "It's never the Indian, so it must be the arrow"  😁

I've been told by playing partners that they like them because there easier to see, and my eyesight is poor and I tend to agree so much so I've drawn a Red square on 2 sides of the ball and I do see it better....

Agree, it's sometimes difficult to identify who's ball belongs to who when other play the same brand.
Having a noticeable and unique marking helps.
I'll often play the yellow color on days for just the sake to prevent others from mistaken my ball.

Yeah and it’s always when you pound one down the middle, that’s why I started marking  my balls with a red inch square both sides. Didn’t lose many after that, and their playing partners knew that was not their ball lol 😂

    • Which was his second hole, yeah. I talked with Mav's coach/instructor last night, ha ha.
    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.
    • Wordle 1,727 2/6* ⬛🟦⬛🟧⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧
    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
