Mistral M 1

Advantages: Great name in golf balls
Disadvantages: Not really for high handicappers

...I'm not really into the science of golf balls, all I know is that there are good balls and not so good balls. I wouldn't play with golf balls that cost 20p per ball such as Donnay because they don't feel nice to hit and yes on the golf course you just don't use Donnay to play low rounds and in tourneys. I tried a titleist Pro V1X today in a Stableford tourney off white tees so I had a little extra yardage to play, I mostly use Titleist PTS Solo because they are designed for mid to high handicappers, and I can hit them, so they work for me. Titleist have brought out this new breed of ball, and as i said I don't know the science so i'm not going to say there is this and there is that, etc. All i know is that these balls are designed to cut out spin, have a lower flight and create more distance, however, I never saw any of that.

...Dont know if this review will work, as I'm riding it on the back of another product. ( have heard this is a problem at Ciao ) no listing for this item ?. If you have managed to get here by looking for this moped , ' then fair play to you !! ' The time was 1975, was still at school in the 5th year , as it was then, all my mad mates were getting their new mopeds , namely Fantic motor mopeds, fast as you like, 7.5 BHP and about a million gears! These boys were the kiddies (in the 70's) and thought (all the girls would be falling at their feet, ) but ,then as now girls just think you're a twat !..... we thought we were Barry Sheen. I of course, had to be different and got a Yam' , compaired to the Fantics, the Yam was quality, not as fast , but, bits didn't drop off, did'nt seize up, had lights that worked, and you didn't get...

Advantages: great feel and distance
Disadvantages: cost

...I have been playing golf for 15 years and always play with a Titleist ball. It's something of a habit, but the ball suits my game. In cold wet conditions I'll play with the pts wound ball, and in dry summer conditions the professional balata. That was until I tried the newest product from Titleist, the pro V1. It is the tour professionals choice of ball combining both distance and feel.It is longer off the tee than the balata ball but gets enormous spin around the green. I'm not sure how Titleist have done it, but I was amazed at the extra length I got off the tee and the control and spin I got around the green. Putting with it is a dream, the ball doesn't fly off the putter like the wound ball. At the moment the cost of the ball will put off all but the most accomplished golfer, at £35 a dozen you don't really want to 'lose' a ball... Read review
