I live in Wisconsin and our golf season is short. I received three balls to test. They came in late October which didn't give me time to test them. Well I did yesterday, off the driver, 3 wood, and hybrid, it flew long and straight. My mid and short iron shots had no bite on the green. With the putter, the sound was more like striking a superball. In conclusion the ball will be good for high handicappers looking for more distance.
