Bought a 12-piece box after hearing some good stuff from members here in the forum. Here is my little review:


DISTANCE:

Distance was just right where I needed it to be. Not too long like a Nike One Black, not to short like the TF D2 Feel. Very consistent distance on off-center shots. Its not a ball for distance definitely, but is not going to steal yards from you like the Platinum might do.

BALL FLIGHT:
Ball flight is higher than average, which I found awesome. It won’t give you a lot of roll then, but you can be very accurate on calculating where the ball is going to land. Sits nice and soft on greens.

FEEL:
Very, very soft ball. One of the softest I have hit, no difference at all (for an average golfer like me) with high-end balls. It feels lovely off the irons (feels like hitting a hybrid or wood). Same price-range like the Titleist NXT balls have NOTHING to do against this ball.

SPIN:
This is the only area where the ball might lack a little bit COMPARED to a Platinum or a Pro-V1. It does spin, for sure, more than any in its price range, but don’t expect your ball to return 10 yds when hitting the green.

PUTTING:
Putting was quite funny, interesting though. It felt very soft, but seemed to roll far more than I was used to. I had to recalculate my putts since each of them went at least 2-3 feet further than they did with a One Platinum. I even took another ball out to compare with the Burner TP since I thought for one second I had completely lost distance accuracy.

DURABILITY:
I played 18 holes with two balls. Not one big scuff in any of them. I was quite impressed with durability of this ball. I expected them to cut in pieces like very soft balls, but they didn't. Wonderful.

OVERALL:
Wonderful surprise. Best ball for its price I’ve ever hit. Became immediately my gamer. There is really no need to go for a higher end ball unless you play under par.

PROS:
-Good distance
-More than enough spin
-Great softness
-Great Feel
-Great durability
-Very Interesting price

CONS:
-Not that easy to find in Australia
-Short players won't find the extreme distance they need
-Can’t be found with Spongebob Squarepants logos :D

Nice review.

I almost got 2 dozen of them, since they have them on special now.. Like $42 or something for 2 dozen. But I opted for what I knew was good and got the TP Red and Blacks..

I might try and sleeve next time.. if they are as you say, then I certainly would only be saving money, and not really losing much.
