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.

Advantages: Solid with god feel Disadvantages: No better than Pro V 1's
I used the balls for the first time several weeks ago and they were ok. They are no better than Pro V1s or Srixon ZURS however there is deffinatly no noticable difference that thay are clearly worse.
