i drive with distance and hit long irons and chips with the ace.
i like these balls and they compare to pro v, but i play a pro v on the green when putting it has better feel(softer). the ace is a good ball for 2/3 the price
I received a sleeve of these and really liked the ball. I put it a notch below the top premium balls like the Titleist Pro V1 because it doesn't have the spin they do. I found that I had good distance with this ball and I really liked the ball flight. I rated this ball 4 stars. I checked one place and they have them at $36.95. If I were to spend this much money on balls, I would probably shell out a few bucks more for a dozen Pro V1's. If you could find them for $30 or less, I'd recommend them in a second.
I received a dozen Strata Tour Ace's from a magazine subscription last year (they were supposed to send ProV1's and I ended up with both dozens ) and I totally agree with Victory. It's a good ball but not quite in the ProV1's "league." I was expecting more for the price. For a couple of bucks more you can get the best. So why bother?
the emblems on the ball i could care less about. what i said was true.. the pro v's aren't all they're cracked up to be to me.... the ace just has a much better feel off the face of my irons and has a great deal of feel as well......
increadible ball, i think its about ten dollars less than the pro v series? great for more expierienced players. for novicses the strata straight, and all the other stratas are great balls for you.
I agree. I played the Strata Tour Premier and was impressed at the flight and the spin around the greens. I was able to stick em off the face of my irons and built much needed confidence off the tee as far as accuracy. I'll be sticking with these for awhile.
I don't like the feel ( dull ) - I don't like the feedback ( Hard ) but somehow I score better with this ball than anything else ( V1, HX Tour, Nike Black etc.. )
So how should I rate this ball?
Nice ball - especially now that the price has come down (what with the release of the new Top Flite line)- only 29.95/dz CDN.
4 stars - a little stiffer, not as much spin as some balls, but (at least for me) it was wicked straight. First drive with it was my longest by far that month - I only bought a sleeve originally to test it - plus, YES I LOVE THOSE LITTLE SYMBOLS ON THEM. Then again, they also remind me of the time i was "****** pillaged" playing Texas Hold'em with a bunch of friends at 3 in the morning - after about 8 cokes each. I was playing so poorly, we had to come up with a completely new term to accurately describe the quality of my play that night. But back to the ball.
