I started this year with the goal of finding "my golf ball." It seems that every time I go into the pro shop there is another ball for sale. This year I tried the Nike Tour Accuracy, and the Titleist Professional and Prestige. The thing that blew me away was the price they wanted for these balls. I was unable to try the Pro V1 because no one had any for sale. I was lucky enough to find one on the course and played the rest of the round with it. I had problems with all the balls. The Nike TA scuffed way to easily. I even embedded a large grain of sand in the cover coming out of a trap. The Pro V1 and other Titleist products perform great but the cover turns yellow after a few rounds and once again the COST! I finally decided to try the Statas after finding them at the pro shop for $14 for a 9 ball pack. After a few rounds I knew I had found my ball. It was long off the tee. Felt great of my Mizuno MP14 irons. The best is the way it checks around the greens and feels off of the putter. I don't impart a lot of spin with my swing but I have even backed up shots with this ball. The other day spun back a bunker shot 25 feet!!! Best ball, but when factoring in the price it's NO CONTEST! I went back to the pro shop and bought 10 more 9 ball packs. Customer Service None Similar Products Used: Titleist |

Up till this season I've played Titleist Pro without fail. this past April my father gave me a Strata Tour Pro to try. Played quite well that day. Since then have gone back and forth between Strata and Tour Pro. No interest in V1; its cost is ridiculous. Have finally begun using the Tour Pro permanently (whatever that means). Flies further, cuts less, almost as soft around green, and costs $15 less per box. Not a difficult decision. Similar Products Used: None |

This is a great golf ball. Like a lot of other people I purchased the 9 ball trial pack and was very impressed with its overall performance from tee to green. It has great feel and spin off the short irons, and good putting feel. I think it is as durable or more durable than the Revolution. It has quickly become one of my favorite golf balls.

WOW! Very impressive. I never thought this ball does what it does. I have used the ProV1, Nike TA & TW, Max Rev90 and others and never thought that this was right up there with them. Similar Products Used: Titleist ProV1, Maxfli Revolution 90, Strata Tour Pro 90, Nike TA & TW, Callaway Red. |

I try a lot of balls and have been playing lately with the Titleist Professional due to the putting and short game strengths it brings -- all the while sacrificing a lot of distance. I found one of these Tour Pros at a course and it played pretty well so I thought I'd try the 9-pack special from Target for $15. In the two rounds I have played with them I have hit the same number of fairways but greatly improved my greens hit in regulation..off my irons these things are like arcing laser beams. Great spin into the green, they also putt almost as well as a Titleist Pro, but are at least 10-15 yards longer off the tee. For the 17th-18th holes of my last round I tried the Titleist Pro V...it seemed to come a little hotter off the driver and definitely had more roll after it landed, but didn't putt like the Tour Pro. I will continue head-to-head testing against the Pro VI, then will try the Strata Tour Ultimate next, and perhaps the Strata Distance...for now the Tour Pro is my #1 ball of choice Similar Products Used: Titleist Pro VI, Titleist Tour Professional, Nike Tour Accuracy, Callaway Blue, Maxfli Revolution |

I have been using Strata's for about 4 years now and there is simply no ball that compares. I have tried the Titleist Professional, Maxfli Revolution, Taylor Made, Callaway, etc... and I keep coming back to the Strata. While I will admit that some other balls may be a few yards longer off the tee, the greens is where this ball shines. No other ball comes close to checking up like this one. As for durability, I don't know what those people who say it is less durable than Titleist Professionals and the like are thinking. One bad shot with those balls and the ball is ruined. The Strata is extremely durable, often lasting 2-3 rounds. Similar Products Used: Titleist Professional, Maxfli Revolution, Callaway Blue |

If you're like me, you get dozens of balls at Xmas and other occasions and rarely have to buy any...I give the assorted rocks away to the kids and keep the Titleists. But I finally had to buy some balls myself, so down to the corner golf shop I went. As I reached for a dozen Professionals, the salesman suggested I try the Stratas at 3 sleeves for $15 (vs. $35/doz.). Nice ball, he said. Give 'em a try, and if you don't like 'em I'll give you a $15 store credit, he said. That was OK by me (I buy a lot of stuff at this store, BTW), so off I went.

The Strata is the best value/performance ball on the market. Soft feel, good distance, and much cheaper than the Titleist or Maxfli rivals. If money is not an issue, I would recommend Titleist Pro V1 or Professional as they are a bit longer. I would choose the Strata over the Revolution or Prestige for performance.
