Hahaha. Me too. All the balls in my bags are balls I find in the woods and in the shallow shores of lakes. Soak them in Oxy Clean and rinse them off they look brand new!
I’ve found hundreds of ball and almost 50 Pro V1s in the last 15 months. “Lost another Noodle, where did it go…oh look two Titleists.” I then save those and other premium balls in a couple tubs so I can bang the Kirklands I find on any hole with water or any hole that’s next to a hole that has water.
First two rounds of the year for me in Scotland this year at my local course....first round 83 played really well, played on Monday same course and shot 99. Golf is hard.
it's crazy to hear that year-round golf is not a thing for everyone. I live in South Carolina and golf throughout the winter. I'm luckier than I thought I guess. Good luck on your game this year!
Played these yesterday for the first time. The ball feels very good, I like a low compression ball. I shot a good round at 85. Couple bad holes but that was user error. I will try these out for a few more rounds but definitely a top 5 golf ball imo. Try it and see for yourself. Good luck with your game everyone.
For me, spin, chipping and putting feel, matter the most. Those offline shots, aren't the balls fault, it's the golf swing on that particular shot, IMO. Def gonna get a sleeve of these and give them a try, when the course opens next month!
@@SAMax2268 with the exception of an off centered golf ball! Read my golf spy ball lab. With a robot they determine some off center hits are the balls fault.
Spot on. When Rick dunks a huge hook left with the driver it's nothing to do with the ball despite him saying heather 1 ball 0. Ridiculous to suggest it was the balls fault.
@@MSFaz07 absolutely that's what people worn show. They show a robot hitting it perfect and then their isn't much difference. The few studies that have been done with robots on mishits show lower compression ball like a Bridgestone e6 and other company's who have similar will go much straighter on mishits then a tour ball pro v or b330 etc... Hitting balls with a robot perfectly only shows that all balls are somewhat similar when hit perfectly which is useless information to the masses who rarely strike it perfectly
Big fan of Wilson currently game their cb irons fantastic set of sticks, bought a dozen of these on Sunday played two rounds with them so far great ball performed just as good as the prov1x I was using before and they are cheaper as well.
Im with you on the WS CB’s, they are fantastic, currently playing the Kirkland ball its really impressed me how well it plays at the price point its at.
I bought these the first day they hit the shelves and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this new Wilson Triad ball. Switching from Callaway Chrome Soft LS. Played one round and went back to buy 3 more dozen. Great feel off the putter, great trajectory, good distance and loads of check spin around the greens.
*Alright so. Bought & played with these today* firstly, they feel real nice! Couldn’t agree more about the feel off the putter. Irons and even driver. Felt like I actually gained some distance today off the driver which I was very surprised at. *But* and it’s a big but. I hit a good few shots with mg3 wedge (not bunker shots) and the coating was in a bad way after…. Deep cuts everywhere! I’d definitely say the durability isn’t all what it seemed. Was very poor in comparison with say a Bridgestone tour xs, pro v1 etc. Honestly I’d even say you might be switching to a new ball after first 9! But on the 2nd hole at my local this morning, a par 4. I drove the green then sinked the 40ft’r for eagle. How could you not like the ball after that haha! Cheers for another top video Rick 🥃
Easily one of the best balls I've played. I bought a dozen when I was in Arizona ( got the chance do a durability test off some desert rock lies- it did great) but seriously a very impressive ball, great feel off of every club, checks up and spins well. Nicely done Wilson.
Tested the Triad today. You are spot on. Shot 75. On 6500 yards course. No three putts. Ball was able to bite so could attack the pins. Mid irons were very consistent on distances and chipping was amazing. Keeping this ball in the bag for my everyday ball
Pretty much in love with Wilson golf products. Currently using C300 forged irons and love em. Need Gary Woodland to get on the podcast for the win! Will be trying this ball.
I don't think I have heard you say phenomenal so many times in a single video! Nice shots on the par 3! I have been waiting for these golf balls to come in stock in the UK and now you have made me pull the trigger.
I have not seen this ball yet in my area ,but I will tell you in all honesty I use the Duo. I am 71,play from the senior tees and on a good day break 85.My best round ever is a 79 ,but was on a short par 70 links course.
Wilson Staff gear is so underrated. I have a WS Infinite West Loop putter and it's phenomenal. Also I use WS Tour Velocity balls and they play more consistently than any other ball I've used, including TP5 and ProV1. The Triad is a little more on the expensive side but the rest of their gear is punching well above their weight given the price point.
Ive started playing in October 2021, over 5 rounds got my score down from 124 the first round to sub 110 last 2 rounds. Maybe this will help me break 100, let alone 80 !!
Just bought a dozen...was waiting until I can use these balls. Now after your review I will pull them out and use them on my next golf day... I score low 80s and if I can will use these balls with a mental state it can help me lower my score...I've give it a go.
Just bought a box of these to give them a try. Didnt eatch a review before buying but did buy them hased on how they feel in the hand and the crucial bite test ... They feel soft on the outer which is something I like. My preference is for softer feel around tue green and these have that. Lookibg forward to my Texas Scramble at tye weekend to put them through their paces.
Your videos are brilliant lost a lot of interest in golf but you have brought the excitement back just need to get myself some golf clubs now :) thanks Rick
Recently went for a ball fitting, fully expecting to come away with TP5s or ProV 1s, actually went for Wilson Duo soft, absolutely superb feel when putting and highest spin with wedges, very little difference in driving either, very impressed with them.
Why would you expect to get fitted to a tp5 that's the one of the highest compression their is and a 5 piece literally about the worst ball for an average golfer.
I've been waiting for you to review this ball! Honestly, compared to other channels, Rick puts together the best golf ball review. I can't recall other channels putting extensive effort into reviewing balls. I love your content Rick!
@@maximsmith8493 I have seen his review on the ball. But I still think Rick still makes better content regarding golf balls.. just because of all the testing he does.
Great vid, what a lovely day to play Formby Ladies looks great. It’s big brother surrounding is some track as well though lost a good few of the pines in recent storms unfortunately . Last few holes backing onto where the footballers live is a different world.
I love the look and feel of the raw version out of the box, but play a few holes with it and it looks like it's gone through a war. I'm going to get a box of the normal ones.
Dear Rick, a friend gave me a sleeve of these to try out, and I think you hit the nail on head with this one. Soft but firm, and has great feel. I think this is one of my favorite balls in the wind, solid shots fly with little effect in the wind. I think this is a hit for Wilson. Only thing I kinda noticed is pulled and pushed shots track straighter but further off line.
You never disappoint. I was about to comment that you were swinging a bit swiftly on the irons and then you said, "I'm going to go 3 more" and almost jarred it on your next.
Aren't we all just looking at promotion slogans by the big manufacturers. I have been on this game for more than 35 years and if all promo talk was true, I would be hitting by drives some 720 yards (on par 4s measuring 1100 yards, of course), straight out of the gate every time, have a perfect short game at every shot, hit wedges out of bunkers 5 inches to the hole every time, and would need less than 1 putt per hole on every course ...But clearly, Rick, this does not diminish the value of your test videos. Well done. I love watching you on this channel!
Wilson sent me a dozen of them a couple weeks before they hit the market since I work at a golf shop and already play their irons. Happy to say that I still have 7/12 of the them (florida courses have a ton of water) and honestly, they have been the best golf ball I’ve found so far. They feel a little weird off the driver, but when I get that feedback I know I’ve sent a rocket down the fairway. Hit my first 300yd drive with the ball as well!
I tried the ball today. There is no question the ball flight is straighter, this really showed in my drives. The spun on irons and pitches was good. What I didn’t like was the ball is very firm feeling.
Tried the Triads for the first time today and shot my best round of the year. Loved the feel of the putter, great distance control. Hit a lot of fairways and reasonably long. Iron play was so so but that was operator error. Wish they came in yellow, but that is my only complaint.
Agree with others who have stated that offline shots are, um, "user error". I am using Wilson C300 driver, fairway (3 and 5 woods) and hybrid, very pleased. Wilson is putting out some great top-tier equipment now at less than top tier prices, they deserve serious consideration by good players.
The only thing that will help a golfer break 80, in my opinion, is increasing frequency of playing and maybe some lessons if a player is having trouble. If one is mishitting the ball then that is user error, not the balls fault. Changing the ball is not going to make you better ball striker if you can't strike the ball correctly in the first place.
Totally agree! I'm always around 83-86 and know that it takes repetition and many more rounds to break into the 70's, along with practice. Work is busy though :)
I've used these all season and I would heartily recommend them. The non painted have a great feel but stain easily, doesn't necessarily impact performance though.
Yeah I’ve switched from the noncoated to the regular balls because he’s I love the look of the non coated at start but after like three shots they are stained as if you’ve used them for three rounds.
I tried the Wilson Triad for 3 rounds of golf, I was coming off 3 straight rounds of 79, 79 and 78 with OnCore ELIXR 2022. I shot 90, 91 and 93 with Wilson Triad, needless to say I went back to OnCore ELIXR and shot 81 yesterday. OnCore ELIXR will stay in my bag, although the cover does cut (smiley face) more than I like. Wilson Triad was much more durable, no cuts in my 3 rounds.
I bought a dozen of these to try out. My usually ball is the TP5X. After playing them for a few rounds and switching back and forth during rounds, I probably won’t bug my these again. They’re long but too long for me to get use to. An example. I hit a great drive with a 3 wood which carried about 250 on a short par 4. I was left with 125 yards into a front pin. My pitching wedge normal carry is 130. I had some wind in my face and figured I’d play it at 130 and if anything, I’d leave myself a putt below the hole. I pured my PW and it looked good all the way. Everyone in my group was saying it’s going to be close. Then the ball just kept going. I ended flying the green and carried it 145. This was a constant issue with this ball.
With a name like TRIAD had to be good and some of Wilson irons in the good old days (30 yrs ago) where the best hope we can get these. Great review as always
Personally I use the Wilson Dx2 Soft Golf Balls, decent price and feel great. If I had money to burn however I would use the Vice Pro Plus, best feeling ball I've tried.
Rick I literally screamed out loud when you hit the flag. I love your videos man!!! I'm honestly excited every time you release a new one. Keep up the good work!!!!
Nice to see Wilson back with a good ball. The SmartCore was the last one I thought was any good. My mates and I used to love them. Welcome back Wilson 👍
Well, what can I say, I generally play Wilson Staff, ProV1 and Bridgestone. I played this very ball today in stiff winds. I saw the box displayed behind the counter as I paid for green fees and asked if that was their new ball? It was, so I purchased the box, $42 US, placed my mark on it and hit away. Unbelievable how good it played. It stayed straight in the winds. I was able to work the ball at will. Putting, I didn't notice any huge improvements, but damn the drives off the tee have never been better. My buddies noticed my tee box work too and they didn't know I was using this ball, since I often play the Staff model. Stopping the ball on the greens was easy-peasy. After my round I went back into the pro shop and bought the remaining two boxes they had left. It's fair to say this is my new ball. I don't know why one wouldn't want to give it a go, except that it's hard to find.
Thank you for the review - I went out and bought my a box for the Wilson Triad based on your video to test them myself - No, it didn't result in a magic low round of golf, I didn't find the fairways more, didn't get any distance increase, putted any better or felt the ball rolled straighter or anything. But striking the ball just feels better to me compared to say Titleist Pro V1's or Taylormade TP5s. So I am going to change to Wilson Triads, once I have lost all the Pro V1's and TP5s I currently have in my bag. (Wont be to long a wait... :D )
Feel has always mattered to me more than anything with a ball. It bread’s confidence. If the ball really is more balanced than other balls, then it is going to help with consistency. And I was always taught that consistency was key. Therefore, when I do get properly back onto the course as my Arthritis continues to recover then this is certainly a ball I would consider using when my basic consistency is back to what it used to be.
I have played 27 holes with this ball and I love the feel and it is decent off the tee and great with the irons for distance for me as well. My gamer is the ProV1x and I will finish the sleeve and as the weather improves I will finish off my dozen of the ProV1x left dot. Good choices out there.
I did try these and they have a unique dimple pattern as well. Are they straighter than most really depends on the user much like most things in golf. But if we can make small incremental improvements through equipment it can save you a few shots throughout the course of a round. A forgiving iron or driver shot with a forgiving ball may just find a fairway or may just avoid a hazard which can lead to a better score on that particular hole.
I was satisfied shooting dreadful 102-105 last year with the Wilson Smart Core balls. Never found the fairway, never in a position to attack the pin and didn’t make very many putts, BUT $18 for a double dozen was such a great deal I bought 7 double dozens and burned through/lost all of them in a little over a year with 1800+ holes played.
Rick great vid as always. Goin to comment this until I get a response. You and Pete and maybe Matt to should put together a full set of clubs. Driver to putter. And play 18 holes. Everyone use the same bag of clubs. TWIST IS: they are ONLY GIMMICK CLUBS. 760CC DRIVER &Hockey stick PUTTER are a few examples. WINNER gets bragging rights. Maybe a funny trophy.
Tried this ball today and am impressed. Did not see much difference off driver but iron shots were definitely straighter and checked up well. Chips and putts awesome. Felt as good or better than pro v.
The whole engineering point to the Wilson Triad is the fact that all three layers have the same density. That allows the ball to ignore imperfect concentric layering, which in normally compounded golf balls (Prov1, Chromesoft, et all) introduce mass imbalances which affect the spin and flight of the ball in unpredictable ways. Off center golf balls in new batches from all of the major makers can exceed 33%, so one "bad" ball in every sleeve.
When do they come out with the "Break 72" version? Feel is super important. I use the Bridgestone golf balls. To me they feel the best off of the putter.
Great review as always Rick! Would love to try these out at some point. However is anyone else still waiting to see that maxfli straightfli ball get cut in half? Or did I miss it lol
Found one of these on the course the other day, didn't realise its new from Wilson. First thing I did after cleaning it - bite it, so yes is it soft - but will have to see how it performs. For the price though, I don't see it performing that much better, if at all, to the Bridgestone Tour B XS. Like Rick, that's the only ball I've tested to perform better than a ProV1. If I was to go a cheaper ball, I've found the Srixon Soft Feel to be the best value, and stacks up well against the premium balls, overall 90% as good...
Yeah...love them. I haven't found a ball that I feel suits my game for years but these, I've played 4 rounds with, I think do give me distance and feel... direction is totally my fault haha!
Does matching brands for equipment like full wilson set of clubs and balls make a difference vs mixed brand? i know much of it is on the golfer but do they make their stuff designed to work better together?
I normally play the Wilson duo pro ball I have given these a try. I'm a 25 handicap and have found these to be very spinny, feel great and ok of the tee. I was still able to snap hook the ball, I did find more greens in reg than I normally do and I wouldn't say it helped my putting but I did chip really well with it ended up shooting a 91. But had a bad off the tee.
Can't wait to find these in the rough....
Same brother, same
My thoughts exactly!
What I found instead… pinnacle stone balls 😂
🤣 love it!
I found one last week. Proceeded to lose it permanently in the drink. Golf…
Wilson is no joke now. These are incredible. They feel better than any other ball I've launched into the forest.
😂😂😂😂😂
It might be good but I think it might be worth waiting for the under par version!!
Yeah me personally I’ve been looking to break 50 so these really don’t make sense for my game as I hole almost every shot 😔😔
the magnatec one or what lol
That would be the Staff ball
My choice of golf balls usually comes down to whatever I find in the woods while looking for my previous ball. 🤣🤣🤣
Its give 1 take 1, i just happen to be more giving
Yeah me too 🤣😂

I've used these all season and I would heartily recommend them. The non painted have a great feel but stain easily, doesn't necessarily impact performance though.
Yeah I’ve switched from the noncoated to the regular balls because he’s I love the look of the non coated at start but after like three shots they are stained as if you’ve used them for three rounds.
I tried the Wilson Triad for 3 rounds of golf, I was coming off 3 straight rounds of 79, 79 and 78 with OnCore ELIXR 2022. I shot 90, 91 and 93 with Wilson Triad, needless to say I went back to OnCore ELIXR and shot 81 yesterday. OnCore ELIXR will stay in my bag, although the cover does cut (smiley face) more than I like. Wilson Triad was much more durable, no cuts in my 3 rounds.
How to promote a golf ball 101 !! Lols. Great clip 👏
I bought a dozen of these to try out. My usually ball is the TP5X. After playing them for a few rounds and switching back and forth during rounds, I probably won’t bug my these again. They’re long but too long for me to get use to. An example. I hit a great drive with a 3 wood which carried about 250 on a short par 4. I was left with 125 yards into a front pin. My pitching wedge normal carry is 130. I had some wind in my face and figured I’d play it at 130 and if anything, I’d leave myself a putt below the hole. I pured my PW and it looked good all the way. Everyone in my group was saying it’s going to be close. Then the ball just kept going. I ended flying the green and carried it 145. This was a constant issue with this ball.
With a name like TRIAD had to be good and some of Wilson irons in the good old days (30 yrs ago) where the best hope we can get these. Great review as always
Personally I use the Wilson Dx2 Soft Golf Balls, decent price and feel great. If I had money to burn however I would use the Vice Pro Plus, best feeling ball I've tried.
I use the Vice Pro's in drip and love them. Best golf ball for me. I've hit my longest shot and had my only chip in with them.
Wilson dx2 is low compression ball. And vice pro plus is the opposite. Vice pro is more simular withe the dx2
@@passiveincomejunkie2752 ya vice pro isn't a good ball. Very firm to hard for most u less you have big club head speed
@@PIP-zf9yb yes you need a pretty fast swing speed to make this ball work. Thats why i like the pro more🙂
@@passiveincomejunkie2752 I have afast swing speed I still don't like it compared to Bridgestone or Callaway but it's decent
I shot 84 today, I'll be trying some of these when the weather picks up. Not much point in the winter, I'll stick to my AD333's for now
Rick I literally screamed out loud when you hit the flag. I love your videos man!!! I'm honestly excited every time you release a new one. Keep up the good work!!!!
Just bought some of these, they feel unbelievable when shanking them into the sea
I actually drained a shot hot from around 56 yards away with a Wilson Duo-soft+ .
I love Wilson, I used to be obsessed with Callaway until I started using Wilson. Never failed to disappoint then, and now
I just bought some of these as well. Excited to try it out
Like the look of these. Going to have to buy a dozen and give them a try for myself.
Nice to see Wilson back with a good ball. The SmartCore was the last one I thought was any good. My mates and I used to love them.
Welcome back Wilson 👍
Well, what can I say, I generally play Wilson Staff, ProV1 and Bridgestone. I played this very ball today in stiff winds. I saw the box displayed behind the counter as I paid for green fees and asked if that was their new ball? It was, so I purchased the box, $42 US, placed my mark on it and hit away. Unbelievable how good it played. It stayed straight in the winds. I was able to work the ball at will. Putting, I didn't notice any huge improvements, but damn the drives off the tee have never been better. My buddies noticed my tee box work too and they didn't know I was using this ball, since I often play the Staff model. Stopping the ball on the greens was easy-peasy. After my round I went back into the pro shop and bought the remaining two boxes they had left. It's fair to say this is my new ball. I don't know why one wouldn't want to give it a go, except that it's hard to find.
Thanks Rick. Another really solid review
Thank you for the review - I went out and bought my a box for the Wilson Triad based on your video to test them myself - No, it didn't result in a magic low round of golf, I didn't find the fairways more, didn't get any distance increase, putted any better or felt the ball rolled straighter or anything. But striking the ball just feels better to me compared to say Titleist Pro V1's or Taylormade TP5s. So I am going to change to Wilson Triads, once I have lost all the Pro V1's and TP5s I currently have in my bag. (Wont be to long a wait... :D )
Feel has always mattered to me more than anything with a ball. It bread’s confidence.
If the ball really is more balanced than other balls, then it is going to help with consistency. And I was always taught that consistency was key.
Therefore, when I do get properly back onto the course as my Arthritis continues to recover then this is certainly a ball I would consider using when my basic consistency is back to what it used to be.
I have played 27 holes with this ball and I love the feel and it is decent off the tee and great with the irons for distance for me as well. My gamer is the ProV1x and I will finish the sleeve and as the weather improves I will finish off my dozen of the ProV1x left dot. Good choices out there.
awesome test.. I would think you need to find a low hcp 10-15 and after some pre-testing see if he / she is able to break 80
I did try these and they have a unique dimple pattern as well. Are they straighter than most really depends on the user much like most things in golf. But if we can make small incremental improvements through equipment it can save you a few shots throughout the course of a round. A forgiving iron or driver shot with a forgiving ball may just find a fairway or may just avoid a hazard which can lead to a better score on that particular hole.
Rick - bring back the break 75 series. It's why I started watching your channel - was great entertainment!
I use the Wilson Duo during Winter, and Taylormade Tour Response during Summer
I play Srixon q-star tour. I'm starting to work in the Triad. The feel very similar.
04:37 attacking pins LITERALLY!!! 😂
Never really seen Wilson balls before here in UK but always played Wilson irons. Could be worth a try. Another great ball review 👏
Does it hit itself ?
Can it find itself in the rough?
Can it swim ??
I've enjoyed playing Wilson golf balls for years. Even though I get mocked by friends, I never have to mark my ball to identify it !
Rick I can see all the work you’ve put into your swing! Especially keeping your weight forward a bit.
I was satisfied shooting dreadful 102-105 last year with the Wilson Smart Core balls. Never found the fairway, never in a position to attack the pin and didn’t make very many putts, BUT $18 for a double dozen was such a great deal I bought 7 double dozens and burned through/lost all of them in a little over a year with 1800+ holes played.
Best ball on the market. I played the PRO V1 X before, but the feel off this ball is next level
Looking forward to trying these golf balls.
Can you please do a Srizon Soft Feel Review! I’m planning on using those this year!
Rick great vid as always. Goin to comment this until I get a response. You and Pete and maybe Matt to should put together a full set of clubs. Driver to putter. And play 18 holes. Everyone use the same bag of clubs. TWIST IS: they are ONLY GIMMICK CLUBS.
760CC DRIVER &Hockey stick PUTTER are a few examples. WINNER gets bragging rights. Maybe a funny trophy.
Tried this ball today and am impressed. Did not see much difference off driver but iron shots were definitely straighter and checked up well. Chips and putts awesome. Felt as good or better than pro v.
Great video. Might want to get these for my putter. Speaking of putters, review GG (GoodGood's putters)!
The whole engineering point to the Wilson Triad is the fact that all three layers have the same density. That allows the ball to ignore imperfect concentric layering, which in normally compounded golf balls (Prov1, Chromesoft, et all) introduce mass imbalances which affect the spin and flight of the ball in unpredictable ways. Off center golf balls in new batches from all of the major makers can exceed 33%, so one "bad" ball in every sleeve.
When do they come out with the "Break 72" version? Feel is super important. I use the Bridgestone golf balls. To me they feel the best off of the putter.
Great review, RIck (as always)! It would be awesome to see you review the new Srixon ZStar Diamond next.
Great review as always Rick! Would love to try these out at some point. However is anyone else still waiting to see that maxfli straightfli ball get cut in half? Or did I miss it lol
I like the laddie X from Precept, long, straight, nice feel.
Found one of these on the course the other day, didn't realise its new from Wilson. First thing I did after cleaning it - bite it, so yes is it soft - but will have to see how it performs. For the price though, I don't see it performing that much better, if at all, to the Bridgestone Tour B XS. Like Rick, that's the only ball I've tested to perform better than a ProV1. If I was to go a cheaper ball, I've found the Srixon Soft Feel to be the best value, and stacks up well against the premium balls, overall 90% as good...
Love your video’s.Keep up the good work
Yeah...love them. I haven't found a ball that I feel suits my game for years but these, I've played 4 rounds with, I think do give me distance and feel... direction is totally my fault haha!
Does matching brands for equipment like full wilson set of clubs and balls make a difference vs mixed brand? i know much of it is on the golfer but do they make their stuff designed to work better together?
I have 2 dozen on order already. I’m currently playing the Wilson Staff and want to save some money and try these!
Rick. Please please PLEASE so a review on the new TaylorMade Tour Response stripe golf ball. Would love to see a review on that!!!
Can you review the Mizuno RB 566 golf ball with 'micro dimples'? Just curious if the micro dimples actually do what they say. Thanks.
I normally play the Wilson duo pro ball I have given these a try. I'm a 25 handicap and have found these to be very spinny, feel great and ok of the tee.
I was still able to snap hook the ball, I did find more greens in reg than I normally do and I wouldn't say it helped my putting but I did chip really well with it ended up shooting a 91. But had a bad off the tee.
When he almost holed that shot I was about to order ten dozen lol
Ok I just bought a set online from Marangaroo Golf Course Pro Shop and will have to give them a belting.
Hey Rick. Hope you’re having a great day
Great vid interesting review as always Rick
Rick ,
Is it a golf ball you would consider using on a regular basis compared to the v1 ?
My average is 83… first round with this ball shot a 76 with 3 birdies… this ball is no joke
I've been playing the Kirkland 2.0 balls and they've been pretty good. Maybe I'll give these a try too.
Hey Rick can you test the Uther golf balls the air x and the tour icon. I love it but wanted to see what you guys thought! Cheers from Texas!
