Pro's: Very easy to see, visibility of this ball is terrific, not too hard, not too soft. All level of players find them very easy to track, great action, great bounce.
Con's: These balls crack and break easier than any other ball we use. Sometimes they will only last several days of good hard play (we play about 3 hours at a time), before finding cracks or breaks between holes. We are not 4.5-5.0 players, but they do see slams, and they do get hit hard.
They are kind of pricey to only use a couple of weeks. Others seem to last much longer. If it weren't for the visibility factor, we would probably go with another ball just because they do crack so easily. We do love this ball though.......
