I have had a terrible year for many reasons, but I thought I'd give the Penta a try this year. So I bought 100 used in February. They are all gone, and really, I never liked them. If you don't like a ball after 150 rounds of tryout, it's just not for you I would guess.
My worst season driving, chipping, putting, and iron control.
I have recently had to buy used V1x's off the bay. That is the ball I have played for quite some time and just performs for me. Maybe it's because the cover is a little firmer that the driver and irons don't hook quite as far, or maybe the ball rolls out just a little more, but it is definitely something.
My next experiment, sometime next year, will be with the yellow Srixon XV's. I just have to wait for them to be out for a while so that enough "mint" condition balls are for sale in bulk on the 'bay.
The Penta's, mint, I paid $1.72 per ball. The V1x's I have now, mint, I paid $1.52 per ball.
