have we never heard of them before? For decades they were content to simply rake in the massive profits from the sale of Dunlop golfballs, and it's only in the last seven years or so that they have began to market golfballs and clubs using their own brand name of Srixon.
They were actually the first golfball manufacturer to pioneer the use of soft balata rubber in the manufacture of golfballs when they brought out the Dunlop Maxfli Balata HT ball, which until Titleist caught up a couple of years later was without question the ball of choice of all better golfers. I used the Maxfli Balata ball successfully for many years.
~ ~ There were two major problems with balata golfballs. Firstly, they didn't go as far as a conventional two-piece construction ball, and secondly they were so soft that you were lucky to get one full round of golf ...

Advantages: Very very long Disadvantages: expensive to lose
awat from the hole, infact on one hole i was around 25 feet away and missed the putt by inches.
i can not really comment on the spin factor because i very rarely get back spin but for the low handicappers i would imagine they could use these with ease.
The ball has a lot of durability and is still nice and shiny, the only down side is that a dozen cost around £30 that over £2 per ball.
if you are struggling dfor distance give one a go, but if you tend to lose balls why waste your money stay with what you have.
I would have to say though that the Nike One black is well worth the money if you want more distance and more control, Personally i do think they are better than most golfballs on the market and i have to say they seem better than my usual Titleist PTS solo, but i cannot afford to buy the Nike so i will have to use PTS ...
