[@davidboudreau4054]

Rick, after watching this video about a month ago, I purchased these balls. I can say that for myself, they have made golfing fun again. Before I was lucky to hit the fairway from the tee maybe once per round. Now I hit the fairway from the tee over 90% of the time. On par 3 shots I am getting onto the green over 90% of the time as well. I just golf for fun (and now its even more fun!) and am not concerned about tournament play. So I am very willing to overlook the "cheating" aspect of playing with this ball, because I really look forward to playing. Before using these balls I would feel frustrated, borderline angry after a round of golf. Now I am coming home relaxed and happy after a round of golf. Has my score improved drastically, no, but the enjoyment factor has improved drastically and I feel that is more important for me.

jeffery luk what this gent said is true. A launch monitor doesn’t know the dimple pattern of the ball, which is the tech it uses to “self-correct”.

To me, this is perfect for the player who doesn't play much but wants to go out and "enjoy" a round once every few months. It allows him to stay in play even if his swing is not great because he doesn't play enough to work on it. Keeps him out of the woods and water and makes the round more enjoyable. Definitely not for anyone who wants to be more competitive, play a lot and get better

[@ianrobertson1647]

Golf Sidekick just did a very similar video and that's exactly what I said to him. For the golfer who doesn't want to play competitions or isn't fussed about his handicap and just plays with his mates socially, this would be perfect and they would enjoy their golf so much more.

I am a weekend golfer only and never play in any type of tournament so I don't care if the ball is illegal or not.

I used only one ball the entire round with ZERO penalties and I shot net 3-under (I'm an 11 HCP in our league).

It was fun to play. On terrible swings, the ball didn't fly as far, which is good. Had a few pull, hooks and the ball stayed in play, a regular ball would have been OB or in another fairway.

Ever since I watched this video I got a pack of these and use them when I play casually with my friends who are considerably better than me. We aren't competitive, but it was always frustrating to make them wait while I went way off to find my ball. This *almost* completely solved it. Honestly, it made me enjoy golfing with a more varied group of people. I just tell them beforehand and ask if its okay, and everytime it has been. (just don't go smack talk them when they slice one into the woods) When I play by myself or with people more similar in skill level I still use regular balls, as I found I get lazy habits when I play only with these for several outings.

[@leehidell846]

These balls came out around 1977. The band of deeper dimples creates a gyro effect. I used them in a round and both hooks and slices would straighten out about halfway through their flight so you would end up just off the left fairway instead of in the trees. They were completely legal and when the USGA quickly changed the rules and banned them. Polara sued the USGA and got a multi-million settlement. It wasn't too many years later that the USGA lost a massive suit to Ping.

[@alvinye4141]

The ultimate straight line is probably my favorite aspect of that ball. Typically, two piece balls come together and they draw a line wherever it is set but the true flat area is when you closely inspect the ball to see where they welded the ball halves together and ground it down. You can do this to any ball and it will give you a slightly flatter line. Still important to putt straight though but you might as well find the flatest part of the ball while you can. It's nice to see a brand that took that into consideration!

These Balls work - to a degree. I bought some a couple years ago to give out to some of my friends, and kept two sleeves for myself to play with. As long as you line the arrows up, the ball pretty much goes dead straight. The problem is that these balls treat a symptom and not the root cause. They won't fix your awful swing - ie. they don't stop you from pushing or pulling the ball into oblivion, or correct your body position and target line. Also, the ball flight off the tee is strange looking, and an experienced player will call you out on it pretty quickly. Good for a laugh, but shouldn't be a solution for scoring better.

The large dimples on the edge cause more air resistance that the small ones in the middle so as tha ball spins in the air, the middle is spinning "faster" than the edges and so it always flies pretty straight... I think

[@enroute6955]

Freaking engineers

[@eddiehinchliffe7345]

The reason for the straight ball falling out of the sky is the relative lack of dimples down that centre line. Since these will always end up rotating parallel to the flight due to the "self correcting" effect the dimple pattern has the backspin on the ball is only going to work as well at keeping the ball in the air as well as (or not too much better than) a ball without dimples would.

I'm glad you put that last shot in, doesn't really show the full power of the ball without that demonstration with a legal ball. Another great video sir.

A few years ago I won the club championships, so thought I'd do a lap of honour with my mates and we both had a bottle of champagne and went out for 9 holes, it was carnage lol

[@oopeejuhana9506]

A week ago i went for 9 holes absolutely wasted. Never played that bad, I also had a new driver, and had no idea how to hit with it. Got maybe 50 meters in length, usually i get 225+. Also i almost got hit 3 times by a golf ball, each of the times i was on the driving spot. Crazy day.

I usually play a soft Bridgestone or Taylormade. Mainly price is the major contributing factor but creature of habit. Ive Always scored best with these over other balls. If I play a more expensive higher end ball, its tends to be a soft Titleist. This year I'm floating around a 7-8 handicap. Now this Polara ball, I have taken a few shots with before. An old co-worker who never plays golf entered in a work golf tournament and brought them. They without question felt heavier and lost distance but without a doubt, they flew straight. Great Videos Rick, I've learned a lot from you.

[@MP4SRS]

Used them in my first 2 rounds this year and I must say they work. I am a lefty with a baseball swing usually lose 6-8 balls per round. Played 36 holes with just 2 balls being lost.

[@slo232000]

coming from a mad slicing left handed golfer, i actually purchased these polara golf balls years ago. Unfortunate part for me is I still found a way to slice these balls that are suppose to correct slicing problems. Reality is if you are slicing the golf ball look to actually fix your swing, golf ball position, stance, etc., pretty much every other function in the game of golf, and try to fix the issues permanently instead.

[@mattcomchoc2957]

they've been around forever. bought a dozen like 15 years ago. they definitely work. only used them on narrow fairways with nasty rough, as they definitely aren't going as far as a brand name ball. also, if you really crank one in a way that would normally produce a huge hook/slice, you still know it, as the ball will start out going like it's hooking or slicing, but it will right itself after a second. you can easily see this during the ball's flight. i used them as a frustration saver. still have a few left after all these years. perhaps my amazon review from forever ago is even still up...

6:15 I wasn’t expecting someone with that accent to measure with yards instead of meters

[@matthiasice]

AFAIK the US and UK use yards for their courses...and him being from the UK it makes sense. I haven't played in Europe, but I believe most European courses actually do use Meters. I know there are some other countries that use yards for their golf courses even though they use the metric system for everything else. I think it's partially because the PGA tends to use yards in their broadcasts and it's just become a weird one-sport standard in those countries.

[@jasondonaldson956]

Just ordered these from Amazon. I don't have a terrible slice all the time but when I do it is gone forever. My wife just started playing again after 10 years and this will help her so much.

[@matthewbr29]

I just bought these balls and they work! to a point. They go generally straighter in the direction of that the club face strikes the ball. When I played with these balls for 9 holes I did not lift and line up the ball for the each shot only the tee shot. When I did this I found distance control was hard with the ball going long and short of the yardage I was expecting. In the 2nd 9 I did lift the ball and line up the arrows. When doing this I found iron shots when long and it was a little shorter with the driver. I gave a ball to a friend who hits a big hook. It straightened it a little, I wouldn't say 75% straighter, but it did help maybe 25-30% straighter. In the end it's a good ball and can help, but it's not a miracle ball.

[@cj9824]

They have another version called the polara xd (Extra Distance) with 50% self correcting. I wonder how they compare to this one?

[@fpach520]

Very similar...with a bit more distance. Used these balls when I first started. Helped keep me in the fairway.

[@hikinit]

I bought some of these a few years ago. They really do work but you definitely lose a lot of distance on your driver. I only used to show people I golf with what it can do and to not actually play a round with.I believe they make different ones that do not go as straight but will give you more distance.

[@nickliker8567]

I have used these balls in the past and they definitely go straight however it seems to cut 30-40 yards off your drive. As he mentioned, when the ball reaches the apex, the ball seems to shoot hard at the ground. I'm not a physicist, but that's my experience.

[@agarrity1]

Rick, I am curious if you could give your opinion on a few golf balls that are maybe a bit more economical to the casual golfer, but still give decent performance? It might be a good idea for a video as I'm sure there are plenty of players that want a decent ball but can't afford to play with Pro v1s, Chrome soft, TP5, etc.
