Golf Monthly Verdict

Loved the wrapper, it harked back to the days when I first started playing golf. With the extra spin the ball produces you do lose distance. (Reviewed by GM's James Mason) PGA Pro verdict On impact the ball felt soft and did create a lot of spin on pitches. It performed well, but I struggled to feel that this was a ball to use in competitive play. I feel that ball technology is moving forward, so it seems strange to resurrect the past.
