The alignment lines aren't for me either. But understand the lines intentionally only cover about 20% off the ball. I turn the ball sideways when putting and never see it.
What I do see is increased distance off the tee and with my short irons. I hit a 3w off the tee to summer driver distance. Yes, that's typed correctly. I see another 5 yards with my 54* and AW.
Greenside performance...Finley said we'd likely see one hop and stop on approach shots. I've been seeing better than that, more like the ball being next to its pitch mark or like 6" of pull back. So more distance for me than either CS option but less greenside action, too. Our greens are soft this time of year so maybe that changes as the weather warms up.
$39.99 ... personally, I'd like to see a bigger price gap between this and the CS line. This ball is probably the right choice for my game but I stumble a bit paying $40 for a non-tour ball. But I'm cheap when it comes to golf balls, so that likely influences this commentary a lot. That said, the ball performs and helps my game and it's definitely in the mix for being my long term gamer.
