US - White

Honesty, I can't say either they work or not. After a break of 12+ years and with inconsistent swings, my neighbor invited me out for a round of golf at our local par3 course. I dreaded to play since back then I had a terrible slice correcting it with a hook. A bad one as well! I didn't have a set of clubs and used my neighbors extra set he had. Bought a 12 pack of recycled 2 piece Callaways from the pro shop, teed up and off it went slicing right losing sight of it. Took a mulligan and hooked landing about 10 yards from the middle of the fairway. I'll take it! That round I lost 6 balls due to either a slice, hook or water hazard. Began going out more often with my neighbor that I ended up buying a set of used clubs. Taylormade RAC OS... Must've been the clubs since I fairly kept my shots playable in the fairway majority of the times playing with the leftover Callaways I had and losing 3 balls. But I still hooked or sliced. Just not as bad as 12 years ago. I wanted to improve my game just a tad more so I started looking around on the internet to help me. Read about the Wilson Ultra 500 Straight and the Polara bought a pack of both to try them out on our next round. After receiving them both I couldn't wait for my neighbor I HAD to go give them a try and played a solo game. First tee was the Wilson. Excellent feel from the face, ball flight, good trajectory and right down the middle of the fairway landing approximately 95 yards with a PW. Teed up the Polara aiming at the pin with arrows as stated on the sleeve and same height as the Wilson. Polara had excellent feel off the face. Trajectory was fairly low and had somewhat of a slice. Ball came to a stop approximately 85 yard and about 10 yards to the right of the middle of the fairway. Like I mentioned I have an inconsistent swing. So it's possible that my swing caused it. Wilson did great on the green. Good stopping power set up for my 3rd shot. With the Polara you can either play it as it lays or touch the ball and aim using the arrows. I played as it laid. I know the arrow marked on the ball wasn't aimed to the pin as you can see from the dimple arrangement. Polara also had good stopping power. Used a LW for both. Second hole... PAR 4... 233 yards... Wilson was first up. Teed up as normal with the middle of the ball to the crown of my driver. R580 10.5 degrees. Again, excellent feel... good trajectory and right down the middle of the fairway at 205 yards. I'm liking the Wilsons and my game is slamming so far! Next up is Polara... Teed high as its states... I'd say 1/4 of the bottom of the ball with the crown of my driver. Here goes nothing... Great feel... Again, low trajectory and little of a slice at 180 yards. Must've been my swing... No one was tailing me so I teed up another Polara same way. Aiming at the pin and height. What the 😳!!! Same results. I couldn't believe it so I teed up another... This flew somewhat straighter and trajectory was fairly higher. Came to a stop approximately 195 yards and 5 yards to the right of the middle of the fairway. So to make a long review short, they really don't do much for me. At the end of the round I had an equal results on both. At times the Wilsons would slice but still close to the middle of the fairway. Trajectory and distance was excellent at every hit, and good stopping power on the green. The Polara also was the same. So to be frank I can't give an honest review since they both performed quit the same with me although i did lose 2 Polars going into the water. I didn't lose any of the Wilsons. Gave 5 stars because they are still excellent. Don't expect these to fly perfectly straight and go where you want them to go. My game has definitely improved and I can FINALLY enjoy around or 2!

Like most. I love the game. Have played since in my teens, in my ladder 40’s now and still plagued with the annoying slice issue that most weekend golfers have. Just finished my first round with these. 18 holes. Not a ball lost. That makes it immediately more enjoyable. Used this ball for all tee shots. Irons and woods. Chose to use my typical softer ball for my 2nd and so on finesse shots closer to the green. As the other review’s mention. Minor loss of distance was noticed but not enough that I even cared. Still sitting roughly the same distance as the other golfers I was playing like usual but in the short grass instead of the rough. Did notice a different sound when hitting these balls. Not the typical crisp sound that fairway woods make when ball is hit crisp. We all know that sound. Even had a par 3. 116 yards. Used a pitching wedge. Ball hit roughly 14 inches from the hole and backed up to 8 inches from the hole. So product will still produce backspin. Only negative of the day. If ball is not hit firm. Balls don’t seem to go as far as a normal compression balls but again ball was not hit solidly. All and all. I, like most was skeptical of the validity of this product when I purchased it but when and if I loose several I will purchase these again. Ball may not be “legal” for use in professional tournament play but I accepted years ago I’m not going to get my PGA card anytime soon. Deliberately didn’t mention to my friends till the 12th hole to see if they would notice. All finally wanted to know how I was consistently staying in the fairway. Showed the product to them. All said same statement. “Who cares” and all 3 borrowed a ball from me to use and all returned the ball back to me at the end of the round. Because they didn’t loose there ball either. All stated they would be purchasing these balls. Very solid product that performs exactly how it is promised. Thank you for increasing the enjoyment of my favorite pastime.

I have mixed feelings about this ball. The good news is this: They go strait. Dead strait. No matter what craziness was going on in my swing, the thing flies strait. However, I use the word "strait" loosely. If you hit the ball properly, it will fly just like any other ball... nice and smooth trajectories that give you great distance without any of the draws or fades. If you hit it incorrectly, the balls trajectory is of that of pure Hogwarts magical tom-foolery. It's like watching a knuckle ball, or Ronaldo kicking a direct into the upper right corner. It flies almost randomly for the first 100yrd while it corrects your complete lack of talent with a driver, then drops out of the sky like anything that has ever gone head to head with an F15. I have been able to drive 330yrd greens before, and the furthest I could get this ball to go was about 215... it's almost like hitting a dead ball because so much of the energy is used up correcting your swing action. Basically, you hit off the tee like an 70-80yr old man: About 200yrds, and always in the fairway. Hitting the ball from the fairway with an iron is surprisingly normal. If you aren't a play it as it lies golfer, I guess you could line it up again and swing away, but I didn't do that. I just hit it normal, and it acted normal. I did however notice that my natural "fade" with my irons did in fact go away, however I didn't lose any distance at all with my irons. Putting... I don't know about. I'm not the greatest putter, but I felt on multiple occasions that the ball broke a bit later than I had anticipated... as in, the faster I put, the more direct the line stayed, regardless of the break, but as the ball slowed down, it would break much harder than I would read... very strange behavior from a ball on the green, but nothing that made me put any better or worse than normal. Overall, the fact is this: I played with 1 ball for an entire round. I usually give up 4 or 5 strokes to lost balls in a round, so if nothing else, using this ball made me that much better off to start. However, I'm not convinced that the 70 or so yards on average I lost on every single drive, is worth gaining those strokes back on the back end... There where a couple of holes that I should have had a chip to the green, that were out near 80 and 90yrds, and 2 par 5 holes that took every bit of 2 healthy fairway clubs to reach the green, instead of getting that nice 20yrd chip on the green in 3. You could argue that after losing a ball you have to hit the same shot again so you aren't really losing yardage... just cashing it in early... and while that makes a compelling argument, I feel like I would need to play many many rounds over the course of a year to determine if it really is worth losing the yardage. As my 3 star rating indicates, I have mixed feelings about playing this ball.

This is a neat little product. It definately performs as it suggests. I am 5'7" 150 lbs. On my average drive, I hit it 230, give or take 10 yards or so...and on a round of 18, I shoot about a 90-100. I sometimes have a slice or hook to my shots...depending on how my swing is going for the day. With this ball though, after playing 18 holes, I didn't hook or slice a ball all day off of the tee box. I didn't always hit the fairway (poor aim on my part), but the ball did go straight, only varying by I would guess 10 degrees or so. For me, that is huge. The mental game of golf is much better controlled when I am not on the hunt for a ball that went off target and into deep rough or among a patch of trees. I tend to find the largest one on the course without fail. There are a few things that need to be said about it, not that they are negatives. 1. The arrow on the ball is designed to aim down the fairway. It might look a bit fishy if you are sitting there "aiming" your ball...but I would just say "it's the perfectionist side of me"...even though that side doesn't exist. :) 2. The ball does seem to generate a lot of top spin, which doesn't allow it to fly as far as a normal ball. I would estimate that I lost about 10 yards per drive...but that was a very minor sacrifice compared to hunting for a lost ball. Because it never really got to the usual height of a typical drive of mine, I finally got smart as the day went on and I played the ball more off of my left foot and teed it up a bit higher. That seems to have fixed my problem with it. The other part is that because of the top spin, I did generate a lot of roll...and playing on a dry course, it would tend to roll for a much longer time than I am used to. 3. In my experience, the ball is best used off of the tee box. That's not to say that it plays differently after you walk up to it for your second because it isn't aligned. I had no problem what-so-ever hitting my 2nd shot at all. It played normal, even on the putting green. Even with these draw backs, this is the only ball I will play with on par 4s and 5s. For par 3s, I found that the decreased elevation seemed to throw my game off for the short holes, but that is where a normal ball comes into play. Problem solved. I am very pleased with this product..and after I lose them (somehow) I'll be back to purchase more, without hesitation.

I use to shoot in the high 80's to low 90's on a good day. Now with Polara, I'm almost breaking 80. When I first tried these balls I hated them off the tee with the driver. Ball would knuckle and dive and it was very obvious. Couldn't get the ball further than 220 yards and looked ugly doing it, but straight. Playing partners actually thought I put top spin on it. But the directions do say to use a higher lofted driver. I could hit my five wood as far as my driver with this ball. But, irons off the tee were straight. Finally hitting long par 3's consistently. Irons were flying farther too. So, I started experimenting. Put a driver length shaft in the 21 degree 5 wood. Bam! Now I'm 230 up the middle all day. It's literally point and shoot for me unless it's a very bad swing. This ball does not want to slice. I was certain I could get back to normal driving distances if I can find the right launch angle combo for this ball. I ordered the Bang 450 from Bang golf. I use to own this head years ago and was the best feeling head I ever hit. Got the 16 degree head and assembled it to 47 inches because I know I can swing this thing and am confident it will go straight. Wow! I'm splitting virtually every fairway 250-270 yards with this thing ALL day. think 14 degrees would hit just a little lower and probably longer. It does feel a little harder than most balls but not as hard as the old TopFlite XL's in my opinion. I love being able to swing out of my shoes knowing I'm going to be straight down the middle. This ball won't correct a push or pull but definitely takes the hook and slice away as advertised. I love it. Get a 14 or 16 degree driver and you'll get the maximum ball flight with this ball. I have found that iron shots off the fairway are straighter than usual even if you don't align the arrow. (which wouldn't be fair touching the ball in the fairway anyway) But with winter rules it could be an advantage. My buddies don't know about this ball and they comment on how well I'm driving the ball. This ball isn't for everyone but for me it's made my tee shots longer and straighter which in turn has made the game a whole lot of fun.

I'm a 16 handicap with a life long semi-rare death slice. When I don't turn my hands over on a drive or with a wood, people two holes are in imminent danger. My irons are fine - they rarely slice, I can chip and putt and my sand game is good. But if I REALLY try, I can literally slice a golf ball 90 degrees - 220 yards out and 80 yards right. It's an awesome Phil Mickelson-like skill for the 400 yard dog leg right holes because I'm 80 yards from the pin on a dry day but a fade is a tough shot for me because I can snap hook it just as far left when I over correct. Welcome to middle of the road golf USA - moderate native ability and some craft but I do love the game and guys like me keep golf companies in business. To all the purists out there appalled by this sort of "technology", I've taken years of lessons from state amateur champs, PGA professionals and low handicap buddies - I've tried hard to fix this malady with professional help (like a lot of my bad habits). I can shoot 82 on a good day and 95+ on a really bad day on relatively tough private courses. I'll also bet that Jack Nicklaus thinks that ugly new white Taylor Made driver is pretty much a Polara ball with a handle. Obviously, these balls are meant ONLY for screwing around or playing best ball with your buddies or messing with people (unless you have NO golf pride and are a tool by nature.) Using Polaras in leagues or any other sanctioned event is cheating, a doucher move and USGA illegal. On the fun side, I tried REALLY hard tonight on a very familiar course to make these balls slice and the best I could do was a 15 yard fade. They definitely do NOT go as far as a Titleist Pro V 1 and when I hit a Titleist pure, I can still hit it 260 yards, but many times I'm playing Daniel Boone looking for it in the woods. You certainly cannot "work" this ball and my Mickelson-like slice ability which comes in really handy at times is totally wasted with these balls. The solution there is to drive the Polara and drop a Titleist on the second shot - but only for fun. The best I can hit one of the Polaras is about 230 yards but it does go straight. So ask yourself - 15% less distance but straight - what do I want? I did crack a couple about 240 yards but I had to really rotate and I'm not young anymore (55). I will admit that these balls make tight holes a lot more fun because it's not going into the junk. One caution here - these balls do reguire SOME skill to hit. If you're a really high handicapper with a Charles Barkley swing and one of those guys who will not benefit from voodoo, prayer or 20,000 hours of lessions, save your money and keep buying those X-outs. If you are one of those relentless, ruthless and completely annoying 14 handicap "rules weenies" (and you KNOW who you are) you're going to hate these balls and you will be vigilantly checking everyone you play against in your lame-ass Thursday night men's league to be sure it's not a Polara on the tee. You need therapy more than I need lessons. But for screwing around, having some fun and maybe giving your ego a break on a rough golf day, these balls are great medicine!

Do they work? I guess. But they don't go very far. Some drives come off weird like a knuckleball and come straight down. Would not buy again for this price.

I paid R870 for a dozen, which may seem steep for golf balls, but they perform exceptionally well. Since my slice now lands on the first cut or edge of the fairway instead of the rough, I'm not losing as many balls, making them more cost-effective in the long run. I've played three rounds with the same ball, whereas I usually lose around three per round. However, they do tend to scuff more easily than the harder shell balls I typically use. The distance with my driver and fairway wood is slightly reduced (by about 10-20 metres), but the trade-off is worth it as they fly straight.

Merci

My go to ball when hitting straight is critical

Voodoo going on here line them up and fire them straight, they don’t go as far as a conventional ball and you have to line them on each shot but if you want to enjoy golf again even though they’re expensive I thought they were great

I read about the Polara balls in one of the golfing mags they hand out at courses...and I was massively sceptical, thinking it highly doubtful that they would work. I have problems with a fade on all my tee shots when using woods...it's not really a slice as such, but I always end up yards and yards from my target line. So I gave these balls a try...and, I have to say, that actually bl**dy work! I can now tee off with anything up to a driver and it goes lovely and straight. Yes, they aren't "legal" and yes perhaps my new improved tee shots aren't anything to do with me or my skill...but at my beginner level these are a welcome addition to my bag. I'll keep practicing at the range with normal balls so will get better with time, but for now seeing a tee shot go high long and straight and ending up on the fairway giving me a decent second shot is just priceless...and its rekindling my love of the game. The shot doesn't maybe fly as high as a normal ball, so perhaps not as long...but a slightly longer shot from the fairway is better than a shorter shot from the rough. I suspect they won't stop a huge slice, but if like me it's more of an unwanted fade than a full on slice...give them a try. Oh, and as for putting, I didn't really notice any difference in feel to the Srixon AD333 I usually use.
