My order arrived and I was very pleased with the balls. My only issue was the bag was ripped on the side. They sent me a new bag rather quickly.
C
Great balls for a novice golfer here. I was tired of buying brand new sleeves and wasting them each round.
J
Arrived in the dope bag. Quality was honesty a little better than what I expected.
