Precept U-tri tour

[jrm1493]

I was at Wal*Mart the other day and I always stop by the ball section since they have the best prices that I know of, but their selection of balls is always random so you never know what you'll find. I have recently been playing the Taylormade Burner TP and they have them for $25 - everywhere else is $27.

Anyway, while I was there I noticed the Precept U-tri tour, which is a 3-piece urethane ball for $23! It was so cheap for a urethane ball (even cheaper than the e5+ which is two-piece) that I just bought a box to try them out. Haven't hit them yet but I am planning on going to the practice area tomorrow to see if they have decent check on pitches. I like the Burner TP, its long and it spins very well on full shots and putts nice but doesn't have that "check" on half shots from the fairway that you get with a urethane ball... I'm too cheap and not good enough to justify more than $2 a ball so I only get tour balls when I find them (and really I only can tell the difference on those 20-60 yd shots)

Anyway, has anyone tried this Precept ball? I'll post the results of my "testing" tomorrow (assuming it doesn't rain too much). Unfortunately I don't have any Pro-V's right now to test it against so its going up against the Burner TP.

ive used them a lot and i love em. they're not quite as good as a prov1 or a B330RX, but they are definitely way underrated

U-Tri Tour or You-Try-Tour. It sounds like the ball for people who are on the "A for Effort" tour.

Yep I thought of that too... a little cheezy - after looking into it they are owned by Bridgestone which explains a lot (Japanese). If you've ever been to Japan that kind of thing is normal - just look at Srixon's name (Sumitomo Rubber Industries eXcel ONward).

Its kinda funny to me how many tire companies also make golf equipment. I have Sumitomo tires on my car, but I've never actually tried their golf balls.

Use it and love it.


Checks beautifully, a poor man's ProV1 is what they call them.

U rethane cover Tri -layer ball Tour style ball U-Tri-Tour doesn't seem and stranger than say Pro V1x. Certainly when compared to Freak, HX Hot Bite, Warbird, Tour Fire, Noodle Longest , Ignite, Juice, and Mojo. There are some pretty dumb ball names when you think about it. There are some reviews of it here: http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/index....mode=show&st;=0 It seems to be rated very highly. Based on these reviews it would seem to be one of the better quality/price ratio balls on the market.
