Review on Pack Of 12 Polara Golf Balls With Self-Correction Technology For Fixing Hooks And Slices - Ideal For Casual Golfers by Chris Sweeton

I'm a solid 7 hdcp (and could be better if I had the time) so these are not really for me. I will state that they work as advertised, I do see these straighten an intended draw or fade. And I notice no real difference between these and my regular gamer (B330) in terms of distance. Not so good greenside and they are too 'hard' to putt But I try for perfection in those areas and most people wouldn't notice the difference. But these are GREAT for they guys I tend to play with - and I've given away at least a dozen now. Here's the situation: I play a lot of golf as a single when I travel. Usually resorts and rather nice courses. It's VERY frustrating to play with a couple of guys that couldn't hit the fairway sober - much less with a beer or two. After the first 4 or 5 holes of helping search for balls in the rough, and it's obvious they are not playing seriously, I'll hand these out and explain that they are 'not USGA legal' but 'will help'. The look on their faces after they hit the fairway the next 6 or 7 holes is priceless. And now I get to spend more time in the fairway playing my game rather than searching for a lost ball. You cannot use these for tournaments or for posting a handicap but for the weekend golfer, it saves a lot of frustration. And I think 85%+ of the people playing golf just want to 'keep up' with the other players or try to stay in the fairway so they don't embarrass themselves. And these balls WILL help. The only time I've seen a Polara get lost was when someone hit it straight out into the rough, (and I assure you, it went straight), or the wind grabbed it and pushed it out of bounds. I honestly think if your average weekend golfer used this ball, a round wouldn't take over 5 hours on a Saturday afternoon. With the 'ball spin' under control, I think most would people would be straighter and longer on their drives. At a minimum, 3 out of 4 in the typical foursome wouldn't be in the rough. If you are struggling with that slice, you should try out a sleeve. Finally; I find that most people after using this ball for several holes will now hit their regular ball better. They build some confidence in their swing and "let it rip" vs. holding back because they fear the OB stakes. Just an observation.
