I picked up a box of these balls one night while shopping at Wal-mart, realizing that I was down to just a couple of balls. "These will get me through tomorrow, until I can get to the pro shop", I thought to myself. After playing this ball, I am a full believer in 2-piece technology. I've been a hardcore Nike ball guru ever since they came out, but the Laddie has changed me forever. To say this ball is long is an understatement. The first par-5 I played with this ball, I hit 2 clubs less into the green, after a 318-yard drive....UPHILL!! I was in shock! I have never seen a ball jump off the face like this one does. But here's the real surprise...I can spin it with any iron from the 5-iron down!! It usually takes two hops and stops. This ball has totally changed what 2-piece golf ball technology can do for golf. And under $20 at that! Oh, and the feel...there's a reason they market them in a 'butter' box. I play forged irons, and the only thing I feel when I hit my irons is the impact of the club with the ground. I can't say that about other 2-piece balls, or even some of the 3 and 4-piece balls. The workability is there as well. I have a natural draw, and this ball is very controlling. I can't find any downfalls about this ball. The cover is very sturdy, doesn't 'shred' or cut. I played 16 holes with one ball. I challenge ANYONE who is a hardcore Pro-V1 user (or ANY other ball) to try this one and say it isn't as good. You'll be surprised! Customer Service Haven't had to use it Similar Products Used: Nike TA,TA2,ONE; Titleist Pro-V, Callaway HX, Maxfli |

Everythin about this ball is true! Finally played this ball after reading the reviews. Soft as Butter, Putts great, all the distance you need and great around the greens. I'm through with Top Rocks, and all other Low Class balls. Go ahead and spend the money on Quality equipment and leave the cheap stuff for those that are not serious! This Ball is in my baf to stay! You won't be dissapointed! Similar Products Used: Top Flight, Dunlop Steelcore and a host of other Hard Junk. |

Played 9 with Nikes. Then 9 with Laddies. The Laddies were noticibly less harsh on contact, and increased my confidence on swings - result, better swings on back 9. Scores dropped as result (by 9 strokes!). Ok, so can't credit the ball with all the difference, but it definitely felt much better... especially on short approach shots (landed greens more consistently) and on putts (felt like better control). The cover did scuff more easily than the Nikes - didn't hit any trees, but still had 2 balls get scuffed. FYI - I'm a hacker with a smoother slow swing speed. Laddies are now ball of choice. (for what it's worth from a novice) Customer Service Decent for online company. Good tracking of shipments. Similar Products Used: Loco, Noodles, Tour Accuracy, Nike Hi-Launch. |

Like a few others who have wrote reviews on this ball, I found one, played it, and liked it enough to buy a dozen. At the time of writing this I have played 4 rounds with only this ball and really think I will stick with this one. I wanted to write a review because I have been really happy with this ball. Like others have said, long off the tee, good control, sticks the greens, and just the right amount of spin. But after my last game I wanted to give others an idea of this balls durability. My game was going pretty badly. In 6 holes I hit 5 trees. The laddie just bounced right off of them and each time I looked the ball over and couldn't find a single mark or problem. The next hole I hit hard and low shot that bounced hard on the cart path, this did scuff up the ball but it seemed that the scuff wasn't that bad and I continued to play the it until I finally lost it after I hit yet another tree and it bounced deep into the woods. I had played other similar balls like the Titleist DT Solo, Callaway CB1 Blue, and this one seems to be a better ball. Similar Products Used: Too many to list! |

Nice balance between economical pricing and performance. Tho not an expert by any means, I felt a definite difference between other beginner balls (Top-Flite, etc.) and the Laddie. Nice feel, good distance and if I lost one, hey, it's only a buck and change a ball. Similar Products Used: Top-Flite 3000, Noodle |

This ball is the best valued ball on the market. I have played the Pro-v, callaways, and stratas just to name a few. The Laddie preforms better then all theses leading balls. This ball holds the greens so well. They spin perfectly. I haven't noticed any wear marks or scuffs after the first round. There is also a big difference is the distance. These go a lot farther. Don't spend your wallet on the pro-v's when these do the same job for a cheaper price. Customer Service None.

WOW!WOW!WOW! I bought this unbelievable ball today just before playing with my guys. I didn't have time to warm up, so I teed off cold turkey. Now, I'm not some great player (shoot in the mid-80's most of the time), so I just wanted a ball that would feel great (soft) and didn't sacrifice distance. Being 6'5" I have a harder than average swing speed, but I never really went for distance (avg. about 265 yds - drive). I stepped on the 3rd tee, a 310-yd dog leg left over trees, and sent a picture perfect drive down the fairway. The rest of the group hit and we went to see what the damage was. Not finding my ball in the fairway, I drove on toward the green. To mine and my guys astonishment, I see a beautiful white ball sitting in FRONT of the #4 tee, 320-yds from the #3 tee. The rest of the day went along the same lines. After at least five drives over 300-yds and a beautiful six over par 77, I was completely sold on the Laddie. Not only could I CRUSH the Laddie, I was able to stop it dead on the greens and even back it up sometimes, 10" on one occasion. The feel around the greens and while putting is AMAZING! This is the best ball I have ever hit bar none. THANK YOU, PRECEPT!!!! Customer Service Who uses customer service for golf balls???
