I will have to agree with the previous review. i bought into the hype with this ball. i bought a box of them for $10/dozen and was impressed. distance wasn't the best, but i liked putting with this ball. but this past year or so, i've steadily improved my handicap to 10.4 and i just don't like this ball compared to the Pro V1. i'm slowly trying to get rid of these golf balls by playing them, but i have a few sleeves left. the cover is terrible. i've had at least three balls where the cover cracked and distance is a good 10-15 yards shorter than other comparable multi-layer balls. there is a reason that i found these very cheap. perhaps the newer version are better, but i don't plan on buying them or playing them, unless i find them on the course. for my money, i'd play the HX tour or the Srixon HRX-333.

I'm surprised by all the good reviews this ball got. I got given a sleeve and decided to give them a go. I used this ball for the first couple of holes and immediately resigned the sleeve to the practice bag. Distance was average at best, feel off all clubs was rock hard and the ball just din't stop on the greens. I didn't notice any of the 'perfectly balanced ball' benefits on the green either, just the rock hard feel. It just proves that all 3 piece urethane covered balls aren't the same. I was also astounded by the high price when these balls came out. They were the same price or higher than the ProV1. I would not play these balls if they were free! They are absolute rubbish.

I tried one that I found and thought Apex Tour, ProV and others were 5-10 yards longer. I'm a big fan of the Apex ball. At a local golf show this month there was a small stack of the True's marked $10 a dozen. I picked up some Apex's and NXT Tours at prices a little better than I'd seen them anywhere, but this was shockingly good as I had not seen the Trues for anything but MSRP prior to this. I bought 2 dozen and took them to the course on what was probably the last playing day this season (winter). Have to admit I was impressed. Distance seemed pretty good, especially in the cold windy conditions. Especially liked them for putting, number one. I never bought in to the hype that surrounded this ball when it was introduced, as I believed the quality balls I had been playing were certainly well quality controlled. But darned if I did not get the sense that day that this ball just held its line better. Secondly, irons off the par 3 tees seemed to track the pin better, which means it's probably a workable ball that won't spin out completely when you overcook it a little. That, or it really is more true than other balls and that the amount of hook or fade is controlled only by the swing and not some small variance in the ball's center of gravity. Lastly, it really seemed to be jumping off the face of my driver like the Apex ball, though previous experience may contradict. Need more time with this ball. Wish I'd bought more, though, at $10dz..4 stars and counting. Damn winter.

I'm a 10 handicap who has tried just about every tour ball on the market and have found these to be comparable to Pro-V1 in terms of short iron and putting(Pro-V1 is a great putting ball, not mentioned too often but has done very well on controls/studies), and the distance of these true tours is adequate. I don't consider 5-10 yards much of a difference to focus on with regards to driver distance. It's the short iron playability that I would consider separates "good" balls from the pack and this one is no loser. I nearly holed 3 par-3's recently on a trip to Hilton Head and was very impressed with the accuracy off irons when struck corretly(I give alot of credit to my i3 blades as well). This ball is a solid performer and I am actually going to buy 2 dozen later today as some local golf shops are now discounting these to get rid of stock and include a nice cabretta leather glove with the dozen($17.99) which is a flat out steal for these. Try them, and if you can get the deal that I have, it will save some cash for green fees.

I bought these on a close out at $18.95 per dozen. Am I happily surprised. I played nine holes with one ball. It did suffer from some wear but I was satisfied with its distance, with both driver and irons, and its ability to stop on a green. It does putt very well. With all its positive attributes I can put up with a little wear. I like its moderately soft feel. As these are being closed out for new models, I would recommend picking some up at bargain prices.

This is a good all round performer. it putts well, feels soft, distance is pretty good, holds the greens well and i think it rolled back a bit as well =). The only down side i had with this golf ball was its cover. after the first hole (not hitting any trees or anything else) i noticed the cover starting to scuff. i had a terrible last hole which i hit two trees and the ball had a huge crack half way around the ball. so my experience with this golf ball proved to me that the durability it is not too good. give the precept tour premium LS, great ball.

Flat out, a great ball. Good trajectory, especially in windy conditions. Good distance. Soft feel but not mushy. Consistent around the greens and I love to putt with this one. It does seem to hold its line better than other ball I've played. I previously liked the Tour Accuracy for putting but it had a terrible cover. Then I went to the ProV1 which is good, but the True Tour is now the only ball I play mainly because of the consistency in putting and also the great drop n' stop performance hitting into greens. I used to spin the Nike off the greens (impressive but not good for scores) and the pro v1 is good too but also more expensive. I have verged on breaking 80 with this ball so I won't change unless something goes terribly wrong, but even then I can't blame the ball.

Smart core( ehhh), ProV1 (good), Nike TA (horrible cover), most others but nothing else stands out.

I normally play ProV1's, but thought I'd just try the new Hogan Apex ball and the True Tour this past Sunday. Played the Hogan on the front nine - I found it to be very long, maybe a bit longer than the ProV1, and it has a softer feel, especially off the irons and putter than the ProV1 - but I'm not crazy about the look of the ball (logo and dimple design). Played the True Tour on the back. For me, it had a bit more of a piercing trajectory and seemed to be as long as the ProV1. It has a bit harder feel, most noticeably on the long irons (bit of a clack sound), but still feels very good. Maybe it was psychological but I putted the eyes out on the back and shot 4 under 32, which with the 36 on the front made for a pretty good round. I really like the look of the Wilson ball - it's very white without having a plastic look to it. Overall, these two balls are right there with the ProV in performance. One thing they both have over the ProV is that the seam is not nearly as noticeable visually as it is on the 2002 ProV. For some reason that bugs me!! They're both top notch balls and worth the bucks (assuming you think the ProV1 is)!!

This ball does everything they say it does. Great distance off the driver with less spin and line holding trajectory. Feels great off the irons. Putts better than a Titleist professional or Precept Tour Premium. Like throwing darts around the greens. Only shortcoming is the cover...if you hit full sand wedge shots in to greens (particularly with U or square grooves), it peels the cover off...and I'm talking PEEL, here, like peeling an orange. Durability wise, this ball needs a better cover. With a better cover, this ball beats the Precept and Callaway over all. Until then, well, I wish I could find em on sale.

every ball out there

Wilson makes a big deal about how this ball putts straight, but what I liked is the way it jumped off the face of both woods and irons. It carried as long as any ball I've hit and landed as softly as anything except the very high spin balls that rob you of distance. I've always likes Wilson Smart-Core balls, and still do (and will probably keep buying them because I can buy overruns for 1/4 the cost of the Trues), but True Tour is now No. 1 on my list.
