I play often in wind and very cool temps. The Dunlop Loco is the best wind ball I have ever played. First time out, I was shocked to see how well it held its line in a 20 mph crosswind. Also, in temps under 50F the Loco can help you retain your usual yardage where other balls might cause you to use at least one or two more clubs. Around the greens, the Loco is typical of most distance balls with a slightly hard, if not jumpy feel, but for whatever reason, I found it a good ball for putting with a very true roll.

This ball is very straight of the tee and very long. Longer than the Prov1 or callaway HX blue. The only draw back is that i can't stop it on the greens even with a Lob wedge (60). I can check most other balls especially the Prov. When Dunlop changes the cover to a Polyurethane it will become the best ball all arround.

This is an excellent driver. There is great distance, excellent feel, and a small price tag. You can't compare this golf ball to any other. This ball definetely blows away the Maxfli Noodle. I lost no balls, I was hitting all my shots dead on, and I was hitting farther than normall, a good 10 yards off the tee. I think this is a great ball.

No doubt about it, they are Crazy Long. Got 10-20 yards more off the tee than with Noodle or XL3000 Soft Core. Trajectory a little lower than either of them, but the ball rolls forever. No complaints about holding the greens. Doesn't seems to have the great feel around the greens as doesXL.Chances are, they will become the best priced of the 3-no one I know has ever heard of them so they will probably be discounted.

This ball hits great. I work near a large open field where I normally take my lunch and hit balls. My average drive is 190-200 yds. When I hit the Dunlop Loco my drives were 20 to 30 yards past the normal distance. I haven't played with the Dunlop yet, However, if the weather is nice this weekend, I am confident I am going to have a nice round of golf.

This is a great ball! I am a small 14 year old, 5'2 110 pounds, but i can really hit a ball well, my handicap is 16. But with all my strengh i can usually only hit a drive about 210 yards. I took a sleeve of these balls to the hardest course in my area and boy was i surprised. All my drives were going long and stright. My longest topped out at 240! Thats about a 30 yard increase, and once you start hitting the ball like that your confidence just rockets to the sky and you get in a groove. This ball should be in everyones bag that needs the extra 20 yards. They work, and the best part s that they are CHEAP!!!

Not crazy about the graphics on the ball. There is too much writing and too many logos. I like a cleaner looking ball. Off the tee these babies fly long and straight. I gained at least 20 yards and hit almost every fairway. The ball launches into orbit and goes on and on and on. They seemed to roll forever once they hit the fairway, but that was due more to the firm conditions. Off the irons I ended up flying a few greens. I would guess they are about 10-15 yards longer than the TF XL2000 ES balls I normally play. I did not have an issue with them holding the VERY firm greens we were playing. I typically stop the ball right at the ball mark and these would stop 5 feet or so in front of it. Once you know this, it is an non-issue. Even more so becuase I'm not "knocking down pins" all day, I'm shooting for the middle of the green. The only drawback to this ball was the chipping and putting with it. It might be a mental issue, but I had a tough time. I did use these for the first time on a new course in another state and the greens seemed hard and fast. I could have had issues with any ball I was playing. Most of the guys in my group also were having issues - so it may not have been the ball. I do know that after running a few putts and chips by the hole, I lost a lot of confidence around the greens. Over all I really enjoyed playing these long 'n lively balls. I enjoyed hitting some monster drives and going for a few of the short par fours in one. Considering the extra distance off the tee and the club or so advantage with the irons, I was hitting 2-3 clubs less into most greens. They make for a FUN round of golf!

I don't have a hard swing so I was looking forward to trying these. I usually hit drives around the 250 yards, and rely on my short game to make up for the rest. However, from the first tee I noticed these were longer. In fact I got a couple up to 280 yards. I was happy about that, but it got better. I noticed I was landing my iron shots past the pin. I actually had to take 1/2 to 1 club less into the green. Off the tee these spin good enough to hold any par 3, from the fairway don't expect to get it to stick like a balata, but they will not bounce out of control either. Another good thing is one you would expect from a ball like this, it does not scuff easily. That is always a plus. Chipping and putting took a little getting used to. They were very lively off the clubface. Once I got a used to it I had no complaints. To me they are as soft as a Pinnacle Soft Feel or a Topflite XL 3000 Soft Feel around the green. Overall I have enjoyed playing this ball and continue to make it my first choice.

A good ball, I really like low compression balls and this one is about as good as any. The distance off the tee was average but it lacked some of the softness and feel around the green that other Low Comp balls have. I still keep a sleeve in my bag, but it's not the first ball I reach for.

Customer Service

Great, get a free sleeve of three from their website (says US residents only, but I'm in Canada and they still sent one)
