Callaway Top Flite Lake Balls - Grade A

Advantages: Seem to go miles!
Disadvantages: None

...Being relatively new to the game of golf, I need as much help as possible in getting my ball to go further! My partner introduced me to Callaway (he is obsessed by the game and only Callaway stuff will do for him!!) As a lady golfer I have tried many of the golf balls designed specifically for lasies, and although I found these to be good, my partner eventually persuaded me to try Callaway. As some Callaway products can be pricey, I decided to go for the Big Bertha Balls (Red for distance) which seem to be a little more reasonable than some of the other Callaway Balls. Cost me £17.99 for a dozen. Although they weren't miracle makers, my distance has definitely improved - reckon they go a good 10 yards further which is a big thing for me! I will definitely continue to use this type of ball and would recomment it to others also!... Read review

Advantages: Extra distance with the driver. Excellent control and spin. Well priced high performance golf ball for the average golfer.
Disadvantages: Meaningless advertising.

...before you had quite literally cut the cover to ribbons! So golf ball manufacturers began to develop "compromise" balls. These are solid two-piece golf balls (as distinct from the wound rubber in a balata ball) which fly much further and have harder covers, some so much so that they are virtually indestructible during normal play. (Think balls like the Top Flite and Dunlop DDH) But the problem with these harder balls is that while they travel much further, the spin rate is so poor it's practically impossible to impart any control on the ball for the shorter more delicate shots around the putting green. ~ ~ But this problem has been solved in recent years with the development of outstanding balls like the "Titleist Pro V", which is now the number one ball of choice of the vast majority of professional golfers and top amateurs. The Titleist Pro... Read review

Advantages: Incredible feel
Disadvantages: Price

...Callaway have waited a long time before entering into the golf ball market. I welcome them with open arms. After many years playing the titleist hps wound ball I decided to give the callaway a go. The price wasn't too frightening although it seems worse due to them only being sold in sleeves of five or more rather than the usual three. As soon as I had one in my hand I knew this ball was different. It almost feels sticky to the touch. The feel of it off the club face is anything but sticky. This baby really flies. Not like a distance ball, you can really feel this come away from the face. No loss of accuracy which was really pleasing. But the callaway really comes into it's own around the green. It's soft feel really is unlike any other ball I have ever tried. You learn to trust it very very quickly. Putting with it is an absolute... Read review
