I played today and picked up a 2 ball trial pack while making the turn. I found them to be quite good all around.

Trajectory seemed normal to me, I hit 7 of nine greens in regulation and found that they held the greens quite well, with an 8 iron or higher, the ball mark was within a foot of the ball.

Off the tee, these balls seem pretty long and easy to keep in play. The trial box claimed reduced driver spin, which appears to be true (due to hitting 5 of 7 fairways), I also found the ball to be workable off the tee, there are two holes where turning it hard pays off and hit the short grass on both.

Putting seemed normal, I sank 2 putts from about 7 feet and was able to lag putt it close on long putts.

Durability seemed pretty good. The cover did not scuff from contact with my clubs, I didn't hit any trees or cart paths, and both balls looked brand new after 9 holes. ProVs or HXs scuff fast simply from hitting them with a club, 6 holes and they are pretty beat up, golf balls should be able to handle contact with golf clubs, the PAR definitely does.

I will be buying a bunch of these next time I go out.
