  Methinks that clubs and spin setting is at least as important as the balls. Furthermore, these aren't really high performance equipment.

  Trick Question.  I play them as basic with a tad more distance and they come in colors. Clubs matter more with basis balls. Too many factors to list for what the roll will be on any given course and condition. They are not as repetitively accurate as a top NIKE , but who is when playing for fun. In a clash I find them great where quantity not quality matters. I play them in coin matches when I'm in lower rooms to keep the fun in the game.

  This, as well as wind and the particular approach in question.  Sometimes one can stick a 250 yard shot, other times a 70 yd wedge shot can roll forever (especially with the OP's wedges).  But this is true with any ball.

  Define "high performance".  I regularly shoot sub-30 9-hole rounds & sub-60 18-hole rounds with these balls on default Champion tees & greens.  Granted, that's more of a reflection on how disgustingly good the clubs in this game have become but it is what it is.
