First off, full disclosure--I'm not an experienced golfer, by most standards. I've been playing for less than a decade. As such, I can't say how many flaws there are in this ball's performance, because there's enough in my own game to make it impossible to know when a bad shot might be due to an inferior ball. That said...
I lose golf balls. A LOT. So it's not worth it to me to pay the premium price for the top-of-the-line balls out on the market, even when I can find them on sale. So price was a major factor in my decision to buy these in the first place. The other was the color...I'm slightly colorblind, so I lose white golf balls FAR too often...they get out about 150 yards or so and I just can't see them anymore, most of the time.
There are cheaper balls on the market. I know, I've tried them. I like the feel of these better...I feel like I get better response off the club and better ball flight out of these than anything else I've tried in this end of the market (after playing these, the other, cheaper golf balls that I used to play with feel like I'm hitting wooden balls or small rocks by comparison). And the color is immensely helpful to me in my game...these are not just yellow balls, this shade of yellow stands out more than most for me and makes it a lot easier for me to track my shots and find my ball. I get comparable results from these that people I've golfed with are getting from upscale, premium-priced balls, so I'm really pleased with them, overall.
My only complaint is, they aren't very durable. Pretty much any time I end up in the sand with one of them, that ball has a permanent scuff from the shot to get back out (the one place where the cheaper balls I've played with hold up better). But I typically wind up losing a scuffed ball a few shots later, anyway, so it's not like that scuff mark gets a lasting chance to mess up my game.
I don't see myself changing to a new brand anytime soon. Golf is already an expensive game. Finding affordable, reliable golf balls helps a lot to keep it viable as a pastime.
