For some reason, I keep going back to the Laddie. Played Pinnacle Extreme Distance (too hard for putting), Pro-V1 (goes out of the round easily), LoCo (hard to control on and around greens), NXT Distance (don't last and not good around the greens), & others and keep going back to the Laddie. I get distance, good feel off the irons, and it putts well too. Nice and soft for putting. They seem to last longer than others as well.

I've been switching balls forever trying to find one that 'feels good' but doesn't sacrifice the distance. This is the one! Titleist balls accentuate a slice or a hook because they have high spin, but since these are a lower 8-iron spin rating, I keep it straighter more often. Look, I shoot in the 90's! I don't need a ball that "spins back" on the green! I need one that will just get me there! Only the pros have that kind of control - don't kid yourself. Try the Laddie. |

I have been playing the Lady ball for the past couple of years and think it is one of the longest and softest balls to putt. Could not, however, get a the Lady to stick on greens. Tried the Laddies this today, and they seem to be much better feeling with good bit on the greens. Distance was not sacrafice, it fact it seem to be a little longer. Ball feel very good of irons, and short chips around the green. For those who feel the the Lady and the Laddie are the same balls, I for one think they are not. The laddie will be my new ball of choice. Similar Products Used: Lady, Pro-V, So-Lo, Noodle Spin |

This ball is amazing! I hit my drives with a Pro V1 round about 285 yards carry, but with the laddy I can hit the ball like 300 carry!!! I hit a backspin, even with a 2 iron, and think of that it's a two piece ball! I only can say try it and be just better :-) |

This is my first year of golfing more than 5 times a year. I did not believe a ball would make a difference, but over the last few weeks that has become increasingly apparent. I bought a sleeve just to try. This ball has provided the ability to keep the shot straighter, but not necessarily with more distance. The feel around the green and its puttability (sic)is second to any other ball tried. I would recommend this ball to anyone learning the game and for those that only play a few times a year. No more found or water balls for me. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: Calloway Warbird, DT SoLo, Pinnacle Gold |

This ball is the ultimate control that I've come across. It has such incredible feel. Even on miss-hits, it feels like you didn't hit a ball at all. I'm not sure about all of reviews regarding more distance, because I didn't really see that. What I did see was my accuracy greatly improve. The holding power of these balls is just incredible (even for those people who can't put backspin on the ball) without sacrificing any distance. Don't believe me about the feel? Take any old distance ball out on the course and then hit it. Then take the Laddie and hit it. Then tell me you don't believe that this ball is the softest, most accurate ball that you've ever used. One caution, however: stay out of the trees. They scuff pretty easily. Similar Products Used: Titlist Pro-V1; Precept extra distance; anything on sale. |

In my search for the holy grail of golfballs, I tried this one. Last season, I used the Lady and liked it but it was way too lively on and around the greens. I searched for a compromise. I used the Rule 35 Blue and it was sweet but as a high handicapper, my mistakes were magnified.(slices and hooks) I tried this as an compromise ball between the Rule 35 Blue and the Lady and it performed. I got excellent distance. Adequate spin and awesome feel. My short game was money with this ball! Its in the bag(for now) Customer Service no XP Similar Products Used: Just about all of them |

The Laddie is the best all around ball I've played. There is no noticable difference from cold to hot weather. I think precept made a marketing mistake here because they say it's for golfers with slower swing speeds, but this ball hauls ass off the tee like no other. I think they say that so they can sell their $35 balls to the guys who think a $20 can't be any good. Has better all around characteristics than PRO V's, and Strata's. Softest feel of any ball I've ever played, even in the cold. I have consistently hit 285+ drives, and full wedges to 150 with this ball.. Your results may vary, but you will love the price/performance of this ball. Do try a sleeve. Customer Service N/A |

Great ball! unbelievable backspin on the greens and stoping power with chips and pitchs. great feeling ball that although is not the longest off the tee box is a great golfers tool. This ball is by far the best ball for the money. A great ball for long hitters who don't need extra distance but a little more control with the short irons. This ball is not for slicers or hookers however as it generates an enormous amount of spin. Ok soft feel when putting but precept tour has an even softer feel, at an elevated price however.
