Won a box of these a few weeks ago and was thinking of just giving them away.
Played on Wednesday in our roll up and and was drawn with my mate against a Pro and another lowish guy so we took them on in a game aside from the sweep. I always use a pro v1 and as we were standing around said to my mate did he want my box of Bridgestone yellow as i prob would not use them. He said try one and game me one of his, as he was in the same team in that comp as me and also got a box.
Felt very soft off the driver, like you really compressed the ball.
Stopped pretty well though the greens were not hard and fairly receptive. Felt Ok off the putter too, not as nice as a prov 1 but soft enough.
Not bad off the iron, though not as soft feeling off the clubface.
The main thing i did notice was it did not cut up at all, hit a few good wedge shots with it and not so much as a mark.
Have to see how they preformed on harder greens but that was not going to happen now.
Upshot was 73 gross, lower than the Pro off the same tee's won the money in the sweep and too a few quid off the pro too boot.
I very good ball, very happy with its performance and will def us them over winter now and not give them away.
Would i change from a Prov 1?
Prob not during the season for comps, but would use them for bounce games no problem and over the winter if i ever need to but golf balls for winter it would be these. Better in my opinion than any other ball in this cat i have tried.
