I know some people have complained about the Delivery service from 118 golf, but I have to give them credit, I ordered my balls on Saturday with Standard delivery (expected 5 days) received an email on Monday saying they had been despatched, then reveiced them yesterday (Tuesday).
Pretty good service if you ask me. Now just got to wait for the weekend to give em a try

I think their delivery issues depends on whether it is an item they keep in stock. No way of telling from the web site then the communication is a bit off if it is going to take longer to send it.

I've been using these for a few rounds now, and so far I've shot 86, 84, 61 (14 holes) and 83.
I'm not saying this ball is the holy grail, but since Callaway have stopped making the Tour ix, this is the only ball I've found to being close to a perfect replacement, if not a little better!
Some people have an issue with it putting, but not me. Have never had a problem with 118 either.

I still think the best thing about this ball is the feel from it when putting. Off the tee and iron play are fine. I don't think it stops as quick as a Pro V1 or a Z-STAR however I'm still experimenting with this ball.
I overall do like this ball but being a Wilson I can't ever see it challenging the likes of Titleist, Callaway, Nike, TaylorMade or Srixon in the ball market.
I'll continue to play it and report back again

After getting delivery of 3 dozen of these last week, I got chance to put them in play on Sun & Mon, and overall I was very pleased with the performance from driver down to Putter.
Now I was striking the ball very well both days so this would have had some factor in it, but the ball was long off the driver and irons, gave a fairly penetrating flight and on the odd occasion that I sliced it a little it didnt seem to slice as much as it usually would (if that makes sense).
Got plenty of check on the greens, although they were a little wet from the night before, they were certainly up there with the ProV's in my opinion.
And as Craw has said they are LOVELY off the putter. Without doubt the best ball I have putted with.
Also used the same ball from 26 holes before I lost it and there was barely a mark on it.
Overall I would say they are very similar to the Prov, but feel softer and are better off the putter. When you take into account they were 3 dozen for £45 they are much cheaper than the ProV, then I wont be changing my balls for quite a while

I now have to admit I do really like this ball. I used it again today until I donated it to the gorse bushes on 17 but I really think its up there with most premium balls.
My only grype is that it "yellows" very quickly. Offers the best feel off the putter face on any ball I've used.
I would use it period I've decided.

Do you guys find is scuffs quickly. I use dx2 &dx3 abd u fund after a round even if I've played really well they look very second hand. I doubt I'd ever tax one into another 18 holes if it had completed a full 18.
Wedge play seems to really graze them.

Not sure about it scuffing quickly, but they does lose their colour though. Still got 2 dozen left so should see me through the next 6 month

john, did you notice they always seem to be a slightly off white compared with other new balls.

Yes they are a slightly different shade of white. The main issue I had though was the fact that they do lose the whiteness (is that a word? ) quicker than other balls

and are a bit easier to lose due to this.

You'll only lose then more easily if you deposit them into the middle of a gorse thicket like I did yesterday. Hit the fairway you shouldn't lose them!
I have 15 left and I'm quite happy to continue using them. I have no real preference of ball however I do sway towards the Z-STAR and look forward to the new version hitting the shelves. I am also happy using Titleist Pro V1 and 1x as well as Tm Red, not a penta fan and I'll use Bridgestone B330RX. I liked the Callaway balls we got to trial, especially the softer one but I never bought any more.
I would use the Wilson ball as well in this category!

I have to agree that they feel great off the putter and at the price that you can get them for they really are a premium ball at the same price as AD333 etc. I have a couple of boxes for when the course condition improves and DX3s to last me until then.
