Polara Golf Self-Correcting Golf Balls – Soft Feel, Anti-Slice & Hook Correction, Exceeds USGA Limits, Dimple Pattern, High-Performance Balls for Men & Women – Extra Distance, 12 Pack, Yellow

I played 14 holes (twilight all you can golf rate) with this ball just a couple of days ago and I shot a 41 on a par 35. For me my normal score for that side would have been around 50. I was literally laughing out loud at every tee box after I hit another fairway. Of my 14 tee shots, only 1 missed the fairway and it was in the first cut of rough by 8 inches!!! And in reality I had lined up incorrectly so I blame myself. On the 2 par 3s I was on the green each time and made the par which is unheard of for me. I had 5 pars which I have not done in years and this was my best score for that course on the back side.I have a huge case of the yips on the tee box because of my 40 degree slice so I try to think of all of the things I am supposed to do and end up hating golf. I was going to quit playing after this year because it just ended up being no fun anymore. I started just using a 5 iron off the tee just to keep the ball in play.Now, because of this ball, I am going to play again on Sunday (2 days from now) and I have signed up for a Myrtle Beach golf trip with 15 other buddies who are all dying to try these balls.I had 2 of the best drives on holes number 12 and 15. When I played the "extra" holes, there is a par 5 that I almost reached in 2 shots which I have never ever done. I am not a long hitter at all but I did have an interesting comparison. I hit my Polara 3 piece in the middle of the fairway and then took out a Pro V1, same swing, and sliced it my usual 40 degrees. The Titleist wound up in the rough and behind the Polara by 25 yards. I never had an issue with distance one time with the driver. The thing you never think about is your second shot. I used to live in fear of hitting a 3 wood or a 5 wood because I would aim out of bounds on the left side knowing I would hook the ball. This works ok for links style courses but on tight courses I always have to hit 6 iron which means I still have another full iron into the green. Now I can take out a 3 wood and have no fear. I also never adjusted the ball on the fairway or the rough. I figured it would sort itself out in the air. And it always did.With all that being said, I did notice some interesting shot trajectories with my irons, mostly the 8 iron. I was not striking the ball well with my irons but they had a very top spin like trajectory. However, I never had a problem with distance and they all went straight so I am taking some much better golfers with me on Sunday and seeing if they experience the same thing.I also found that I like the feel and sound of these balls when putting. I know it seems strange but I was putting very well and the the bounce off of the clubface was just perfect. I can't explain it.So after having said all of that, I am just a recreational golfer and never really cared about golf or playing anywhere nice because of my horrible game. Now I am buying a new driver, setting up golf trips, and saving for a new set of irons all because of a golf ball. Golf Digest talks about geting people back into the game and for me this is it. Make the game fun and allow us to feel like a pro sometimes. I stand at the tee box, swing as hard as I can, and then get 3 legitimate chances at birdie in 9 holes. I am going from playing 5 times a year to playing at least once a week and going to pour around $1,000 into new clubs and driver. How can this not be good for the game? I never play tournaments so that is no issue and when I play with friends instead of them spotting me 5 to 6 strokes we will play even as I have told them all I play these balls.

I am a mid-handicapper with a mild slice (not a banana) that on average is about 20-25 yards off center with an average tee shot total distance of about 230yds (95mph driver swing speed). My slice is consistent, but controllable for the most part. I bought the US Extra Spin and here is what I found through 27 holes with the balls...OFF THE TEE (using the directional arrows correctly)1. Out of the 27 holes, 21 shots were with a driver, of those 21 driver shots, 18 went absolutely straight with nice loft for an average of 220 yards (so I only lost about 10 yards total distance but was in the fairway with a great approach shot). The other 3 driver shots sliced off center about 20-25 yards, but still in play. On those 3 bad shots my swing felt more slicey and I knew as soon as I hit it that the ball would have ordinarily been a big slice of banana bread and been gone.2. For my non-driver tee shots it was a mix of high irons and hybrids. All of those shots went dead straight. I also found that with my higher irons (7-9) I was picking up an EXTRA 10-15 yards off the tee.FROM THE FAIRWAY/ROUGH (NOT re-aligning the ball)1. I did NOT realign the arrows for my non-tee shots, I played them as they lie. I found no difference at all from any of my other shots. Ball felt good and had a consistent flight pattern as any other ball, although, I will say that I don't typically slice other clubs so I can't say how it would correct a slice on subsequent shots if you don't re-align.CHIPPING/SPIN (NOT re-aligning the ball)1. I felt that the US Extra Spin got nice loft with all of my wedges and had nice spin.2. From greenside with a wedge, they grabbed the greens nicely, in fact they bit more than the Supersofts and Kirklands I was playing previously.PUTTING (NOT re-aligning the ball)1. Everybody has their own preference for ball feel on the green. I would say these feel more like my Kirklands than Supersofts, but they still had a nice feel when putting. No realignment was necessary, they played like regular balls.DURABILITY1. I played the same ball through about 22 holes and had no noticeable damage or change in performance. The only reason I had to grab a second ball to complete 27 holes was because I fatted one short off the fairway into a water hazard.Overall these balls have made my game MUCH more enjoyable and made me so much more confident and relaxed off the tee... so much so that I bought 2 more dozen.
