XDS - White

These Balls are no Joke! I enjoy golfing, and tend to golf any where between 20-30 rounds a year. Im a fairly consistent bogie golfer, shooting between 83-88 on most outings. I know that I will never be a par golfer, nor do I desire to be on the pro tour. However, it always feels good when you do hit below you average and score lower than you normally would. In my case, scoring an 80 or 81 would be a great outing. I usually hit the ball pretty straight off the tee and can usually hit it 225 yards or so. but I do tend to get a slight slice or fade here and there. Ive always just played it and tried to us the natural fade as a strength and for the most part it has worked. This summer I saw these balls on amazon and started reading about them, and yes, they are technically illegal, but im not a pro, not competing for money or any where near a national level. so I figured what the heck, ill give em a try. I promise you, you will not be disappointed in these balls, they have added 40-50 yards to my drive, and the ball flies straighter and truer than I could of ever imagined. I have dropped a consistent 4 to 6 strokes a round off my game, I have hit 77, 78, 79. Like I said, I know there not a ball you could use on tour, but if your not competing and playing for fun, these balls are fantastic and really do work. With all that said, I caution 1 thing. When you first start using these balls, you will most likely do what I did and want to compare them against your callaway or what have you. the feel of these balls are going to be a bit different. not that its bad or feels way off. just different, like a callaway super soft is going to feel different than a Nike crush. it will take a bit to get use to them, but you will and when you do, as long as the arrow on the ball is pointed the way you are hitting, the polara ball will fly far and it will fly straight and it will beat out any ball you have in your bag, I tested and compared against every brand of ball I have and polara won in distance and straightness every time. Once you get use to the feel, I found even putting with the ball is superior.

Here's the short version...It's a good ball, but it's not going to change your game. Longer version: Pros: - Very soft, had a good feel around the green (great spin) - Didn't seem to hinder distance at all (as claimed with the previous models) - Price isn't bad - Very good feel off the club Cons: - I found it annoying that I had to constantly "aim" the ball. Several times I would tee it up, address the ball, then realize it's a few degrees off.....re-tee it, etc. - I love that it is a very soft shell, but I slightly cut/scuffed the shell of two different balls just from hitting them (no cart paths, trees, etc.). I suspect it is just from having some sand or dirt on the club when I hit. - I bought a dozen for my father and a dozen for me. Neither of us really noticed any correction of ball path. Conclusion: It's not a bad ball. It's very soft, yet still hits a good distance. Playing these balls, I've had some good shots...and I've had some bad shots. Just to give it an honest shake, I alternated several holes between Polaras and Pro V1s. I think I slightly preferred the Pro V1s. The Pro V1 is quite a bit more expensive than the Polara, but my point is that I think a high quality conventional golf ball can still out perform Polara. On a dollar for dollar comparison, the Polara feels a little better than a comparatively priced conventional ball. So it's not a bad buy. I gave it four stars based on that. But if you are expecting a revolutionary ball that you can't hook or slice no matter how hard you try....you will likely be disappointed. It's fun to mix it up a little and give these balls a run, so I'm glad I tried them. But I won't be hitting them religiously. Mainly because I don't want to have to aim it before every shot. I do seem to stick these to the green or even back them up occasionally. So that was pretty cool. *For reference, I am not a great golfer. I usually score between 90-100 on most courses. I don't have a consistent hook or slice...but I still hit my fair share of both. I probably spend 60-70% of my shots on the fairways or greens. So the rough and I are well acquainted. So take my opinions with a grain of salt.

曲がらないボールと思っただけで、スタートホール安心感で打てます。後は、普通のボールに変えますが、あまり飛距離は、でません。やはりスライスは、スライスです。

These genuinely work, feel guilty though as they are not legal

They sound really odd when you hit them and meant to help with slice but I managed to lose 2 of the 3 balls - an expensive round!!

Vielleicht Einbildung, fliegen aber meistens gerade

highly recommend.
