'GOD WINTER BALL'
Strengths:
The price, I only paid £8 for 24 balls. Good all round mid range ball.
Weaknesses:
Durabilty may not be great as expected for some people but I play square grooves which cut most balls.
Overall:
Certainly very impressed as I expected to be hitting a ball akin to a slightly soft Topflite XL but it was nothing like it.

(I normally play Top of the range high spin balls for reference)

'YOU'D BE LOCO NOT TO TRY'
Strengths:
Softer feel than most distance balls
Good Distance.
Nice feel of putter and around the green
Price
Weaknesses:
A bit clicky
Scuff up after one round
Overall:
These balls just have to be tried. The price make them a must for people who don't give a damn about the logo on the ball.

I hit some of my longest drives (even when slicing) with these balls. They do have a great distance on them. The fairways were firm so they did get a good bit of roll. Also they didn't seem to put to much sidespin on to the ball.

Around the greens they felt great, not as good as most 'tour' balls or the premium balls but at 12 for £10 they beat anything I tried. I was also surprised when putting, I find distance control a problem with cheaper, longer balls but I don't think I 3 putted once and was always with 18 inches after the first putt. Very consistant. They didn't check up when pitching into the green but then they didn't run away from you as well.

In conclusion I think everyone should give these balls a go. I'll probably be using them a lot more and they might replace my usual CB1's. The price is fantastic and I want threat if I lose many of these.

Great ball!

'THE SOHO - SOFT AND HOT'
Strengths:
Useful distance of the tee and long irons.
Softer feel due to low compression core.
Weaknesses:
Not so useful distance off mid irons and wedges, due to it's bouncy nature.
Can be difficult to check.
Overall:
Great as a cold or wet weather ball -will check on soft greens.
Won't check so well on dry greens.

'DUNLOP LOCO- CRAZY LONG - CRAZY SLICE'
Strengths:
Great name,Great price and stops very quickly on the green with plenty of spin.
Weaknesses:
That aditional spin usefull for the green seems to result in my worst slice ever off the driver.
Overall:
I am planning to continue with this ball for a while. reason: if i can cure my slice with this ball with the driver then i can benefit from the improved short game that this ball has given me.

'VERY LONG (BUT CAN BE A HANDFUL)'
Strengths:
Very long
Decent soft feel when putting
Weaknesses:
Can be a bit "bouncy" on approach shots on firm greens
Overall:
Been playing with these for about a month.
Started playing with them when we having a bit of a dry spell in the South east and although long it was a challenge stopping the balls on pitches etc.
Since then has rained almost non-stop and the length has been great and the non-stopping obviously not an issue on the sodden greens
Give them a try; good winter ball

'VERY GOOD!'
Strengths:
Long off the tee and quite responsive round the greens. Nice feel of the putter and wedges.
Weaknesses:
None.
Overall:
Played with one of these for 12 holes in one of my rounds and was very suprised at how good they are.

It was long off the tee and good round the greens, although it did mark up quite a bit.

At around £7 or £8 a Dozen these are well worth it and will be a great ball to use in the Winter.
