well, it's hard to say how they will do on the course, but here in the apartment playing 2 different types of shots vs. a prov1x i have sitting around
feel of softness on forged sand wedge- about same (difference not discernible for the following shots)
mash chip n run type shot... fly 2-3 feet, roll 4-5 feet prov1x stops about 4 " shorter
little 'flipper' baby pitch... fly 3 feet, roll about 3-4 feet. prov1x stops about 6-8" shorter.

I am using them and like them more with every outing using them. Incredible for two-piece ball, and pretty cheap at WalMart.

Finally bought some of these, and played them last night.
Initial response. I'm diggin' it. Great feel, nice flight.
Weird side effect, I don't know if it's the compression, or just the distance of the ball, but I completely flew 4 greens, all with 8 iron or below. I never do that, I'm the king of coming up short.
I like that. I adjust for about a 10 yard/club difference, and hit 4 straight GIR.
The ball isn't just long........The feel is great. The are soft.
stroh seal of approval. Not bad on the pocketbook either. Paid 16 bones a dozen at The Evil Empire.

FYI, as far as I can tell, the ball is supposed to be called "Fifty," not "fifty-fifty." The name comes from the compression; the name everybody seems to be using came from what appears to be simply a logo design.
I'm jus' sayin.'

Thanks. Too bad. The name as I knew it was a perfect fit, and descriptor for my chances when stepping up to hit one. Oh, well.
