Precept Laddie Ball
The first time I tried the Laddie was not a good experience. A buddy of mine tossed me one on the first tee and I hooked it into the weeds. I immediately went back to the Strata ball I usually play. However, after watching my buddy get more distance off the tees and sticking greens over several more rounds I decided to give the Laddie another go. I bought a sleeve and gave it a go. I shot, for me, a very respectable round and was impressed by the distance and how well the ball felt around the green and putted. I went back and bought a couple dozen and will play the Laddie in tournaments and the Stratas I have left over in non-tournament play until they have all met a watery grave. This ball's for me! |

I bought a sleve of the Laddie balls right before playing nine holes the other day. I started off with the Pro V1 and had a miserable time and even triple bogied the fist hole. I switched to the Laddie on the fifth hole and started calling my shots the rest of the way in. I was sticking the ball five feet from the hole and it flew strait and long. I like hitting the Pro V1 when my swing is on track but the Laddie is my ball from now on because my swing isn't on track that much.

Dead. It had no feel off the driver or the irons. It was a little better on the short irons and wedges, but overall I didn't like this ball at all. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: Noodle, A10, Wilson Smart-Core, Strata, Pro V1 |

I used the Lady's last year, then switched to Wilson Smartcore Pro Distance this year. Last month I got some Laddies and I'm sticking with them. Buttery soft around and on the greens and long off the tee. I swing 105 mph with the driver and I can get them 300 yards on a flat hole no problem. They hold greens better than the Lady and for $20 they're hard to beat. Similar Products Used: I also tried the Precept Tour Pemium and it's a very good ball, but I personally can't tell much of a difference. Maxfli Noodle, Titleist ProV1 (nice, but $$), Strata Tour |

As a regular golfer that constantly fiddles around with different equipment choices I recently bought sleeves of Callaway, Titleist NXT and the Precept Laddie. The Precept stood out for its length, feel and performance and of course price. It's worth a try whether you are male or female. |

I read a few reviews of the new low compression balls but hadn't tried any of them until I bought these Laddies. And what a difference they made! I gained 15 yards on all my irons and 25 yards with driver. I love 'em...barely make a sound off the irons and putting is pure enjoyment. They spin and hold pretty good, but most of the greens I play on need a ball with spikes to hold them anyways. I had been playing Srata Balatas and Maxfli Revolutions, neither of which can compare with their $40 price tags. Until someone can show me something a lot better, these will be the only balls I play!

Gang, If you haven't had a chance to out the Laddie you at least owe it to yourself to try a sleeve. I wanted to see what all the rave was about so I played this ball for the first time today. All of the claims are true. I got at least 15 to 20 years extra off of my driver and fairway woods. Was able to work with ball without any problem as well. The Laddie is also durable in that the only scuff I experienced was after the ball hit a cart path. I holds the green pretty good as well. It also creamy soft which really helps out on approach shots and touch shots around the green. It hard to believe that for $19.99 Precept has come up with a ball that has this type of performance. As you can see below, I've tried just about every premium ball out there. While all are excellent balls with different attributes, they have nothing on the Laddie. It's amazing how far technology has come at these prices. I've finally found THE BALL that suits my game. ENJOY!!!!!

So many of these reviews sound like they are written by "plants" by the companies. I'm self employed and I like this ball. Recent Golf Digest article/graph showing compression/cover hardness had the Laddie with the lowest compression. Slow swings and low compression balls work. It's durable, putts well, feels just right. Probably a marshmallow for a 20 year old with a 120 mpph swing but it's perfect for a 56 year old grandpa. Just ordered two more dozen. Customer Service No contact Similar Products Used: Also like Top Flight XL 2000 Woman's ball. No macho but they are cheap and durable. (The macho left about 10 years ago). Precept Lady and Maxfli Noodle definitely feel harder. Strata Tour Straight sho |

I love the ball. I've never hit a ball farther than these. Great feel for putting. I liked the Lady version, but these have the good distance with the extra advantage (to me) of the soft feel in putting. Great price for excellent ball.

Had been playing Maxfli A10, Callaway CTU Red and CB1. Tried the new Laddie, and have hit some of my longest drives ever. On solid drives, I'm in parts of the fairway that I've never even sniffed before. It's true what they say about the feel -- soft and buttery. And it's surprisingly durable...if I avoid the cart paths, this ball seems to stay scuff-free forever. I can't believe I've been paying 30.00-40.00/dozen when balls like these are available for 20.00. Similar Products Used: Maxfli A10, Callaway CTU 30, Callaway CB1 |
