I tried these balls due to my favorite ball not being made any longer (Strata Tour Ultimate). I really like the strata for a couple years and was wondering what to use in its place. I purchased the CTU 30s and have never regretted it for one minute! I was shocked to find I actually like it better than my old standard. It is more accurate and holds a line much better than the Strata. It doesn't spin quite as much, but, that's ok too because my home course has reasonably soft greens for most of the year so it's not a problem to hold the green even with the Callaway VFT irons, which are great but don't offer much in the way of "control". Anyway, I was actually hitting this ball longer by at least 10 yrds than anything else I've used. I immediately bought 3 more dozen before they discontinue them. Since this ball is over 2 yrs old now, I'm sure a "newer and better" model will come out sooon. However, I've got enough now to last me through the fall and into winter. Give 'em a try, you will not regret using the CTUs either red or blue.

Great ball. Just enough spin/feel. IMHO, the blue versions of these balls (both HX and CTU) are too soft. Unfortunately, all of these balls are VERY prone to peeling/cutting, as the covers are not at all durable. Great ball to buy used (if you can find them in good condition), but not worth the dough.

just a tick shorter than the premium brands, but extremely softer than most, doesn't last a full round, cover gets torn up by short irons

i found one and was a little hesitant to try it because other red calloways seem so hard. not so with the ctu 30. pro's are still playing this ball it will bite and will go far. don't expect it to back off the greens. it will bite but not as much as some other balls. i used this ball for 45 holes before retiring it to my shag bag. these are good balls but, too expensive even at $32 a doz.

This ball barks like a rabid big dog off the tee and purrs like a homesick kitty cat around the green. You cannot go wrong with the CTU Red. It sticks as well as the Blue on approach shots without sacrificing any appreciable feel on chips or putts.

Great ball. Goes 5-10 yards longer than the Maxfli Revolution 90 which I've played for some time and really like. Seems to have enough spin for slick greens. Putts the same as the Revolution.

When the Rule 35''''''''s first came out, I tried the Blue and really liked them. Then I tried the Red and liked them even more. I like trying new things so everytime a new ball came out such as the Revolution, Nike, Strata Tour Ultimate and of course the Pro V''''''''s, I had to try them all and would always go back to Red Rule 35. Now Callaway has come out with the CTU which is even better than the Rule 35 in spin and distance. I love these balls except that the cover is soft and it doesn''''''''t take much to scuff them. But my X-14 Pro Series wedges will tear just about anything up. I rank the CTU red ahead of all the other balls I have tried in the past year except in durability goes to the Pro V''''''''s.

Awesome Ball. Better than Pro V1. Ball flies just as far, but putts more true. This will be the number one ball soon.
