Precept, Maxfli |
| Reviewer 1 Info: |
5'10" 155 lbs, Age 34, Handicap 2 |
| Clubs Used: |
Titleist 975D/975F woods, Titleist 990 irons, Cleveland
RTG wedges, and Ping Anser 2 putter |
| Distance:
|
The rave about this golf ball is the distance
it provides without sacrificing much feel. With my driver, I've
gained on average about 12 yards; with my irons about 5-7 yards
and carries extremely well. It's a great ball in the sping/summer
months and being 80 compression, is a ball you can play through
the winter months too. |
 |
| Feel:
|
Feels very good coming off the
driver and irons and actually feels much better off the putter
than the Precept MC D&S ball I played previously. |
 |
| Spin
|
Part of the reason it travels so far is that
the spin is reduced off the driver. Hitting a full shot into
a green you can generally get it to check up, but a half shot
can get away from you. Chips are the same way, it's hard to
get the ball to check around the pin but if you don't short
side yourself and give yourself some room to chip and run, it
gives consistent results. Sometimes, other spin balls will check
up when I want them to run. The MC Lady consistently runs when
chipping around a green.

 |
| Durability:
|
| Very durable. I've actually been able to get 3 rounds out
of one ball. My RTG sand wedge is noted to shave other golf
balls but doesn't harm these at all. |
 |
| Looks:
|
| Combination red and black with "Lady" written
on the side. I've always drawn a line on the side of my golf
balls for lining up putts so I mark through the "Lady".
Some have actually referred to it as the "Laddie" ball
instead of "Lady". |

Summary:
The MC Lady is a fantastic
ball that you can play year round and very reasonably priced.
The usual price on these are $16.99 or $17.99 a dozen. If you
see it priced higher, that golf shop is trying to cash in on
the popularity. Just this month, they've run ad's in Golf World,
Golf Digest and Sports Illustrated so I would imagine they
are going to be harder to find. Alabama is where the craze
initially started when one of the finest amateurs in the state
was playing it and letting everyone know the great results.
I've been playing it
for 3 months now and really like it. Gives you that extra confidence
on long par 4's and par 5's that at one time were not reachable,
now are. One other note I just recently played golf on a day when
the high was 45 and the wind chill was 39. With other golf balls,
I would basically subtract one club from whatever "summer
month" club I normally hit. On this particular day, I played
the same club as I would have in the summer months and didn't lose
any distance with this ball. Give it a try, I think you'll enjoy
it! Additional information on Precept Golf can be found on their
