Wanted to update again as I played on Sunday after we had finally dried out a lot before more rain is coming before I play on Friday. Then spent about 90 minutes yesterday working on some chips 75 yards and in.
The ball really does get up there in the air. But the feel, to me, is addicting. The firm part of the inner core that has the soft wrapping around it really makes a good sounding hit. Durability continues to stay strong. Played the entire 18 with one ball and the only issue was that the marks I put on the ball to know it was mine (which is ironic since no one really plays Wilson) had dulled from being in the ball washer.
What I love about these though is their work on the green. They really, to me, do a great job of gripping the green when you get it there. In my round I had a few bump and run scenarios and the roll was solid. I attempted a flop out of a greenside bunker and when it hit the ground it came to a stop quickly, which was really my first successful flop ever. Guess all that practice has helped.
Yesterday while continuing on my short game work, that continued. If I put the ball close to the hole in the air, it came to stop quickly. The grip is something else. And I love this ball off the putter. Consistent role. The softer feel really gives me the sense of the ball speed I'm hitting with, so the ball is staying close to the hole and I'm seeing less extra short/long hits.
I'm sure some of the premium brands out there have similar experiences. But at $33 a dozen when you buy 2/get 1 free, you know I just ordered another one.
After waaaaaayyyy to much work on figuring out golf balls, Staff is the keeper for me.
Side note: I did pick up a sleeve of the X's and I feel like my swing isn't strong enough for it. But that also could be because I love the standard Staff model that much.

The Staff Model may be the fastest ball I have ever played. And not by a little. This thing is a freaking ballistic missile off the face.
