Polara Self-Correcting Golf Balls

I have mixed feelings about this ball. The good news is this: They go strait. Dead strait. No matter what craziness was going on in my swing, the thing flies strait. However, I use the word "strait" loosely. If you hit the ball properly, it will fly just like any other ball... nice and smooth trajectories that give you great distance without any of the draws or fades. If you hit it incorrectly, the balls trajectory is of that of pure Hogwarts magical tom-foolery. It's like watching a knuckle ball, or Ronaldo kicking a direct into the upper right corner. It flies almost randomly for the first 100yrd while it corrects your complete lack of talent with a driver, then drops out of the sky like anything that has ever gone head to head with an F15. I have been able to drive 330yrd greens before, and the furthest I could get this ball to go was about 215... it's almost like hitting a dead ball because so much of the energy is used up correcting your swing action. Basically, you hit off the tee like an 70-80yr old man: About 200yrds, and always in the fairway. Hitting the ball from the fairway with an iron is surprisingly normal. If you aren't a play it as it lies golfer, I guess you could line it up again and swing away, but I didn't do that. I just hit it normal, and it acted normal. I did however notice that my natural "fade" with my irons did in fact go away, however I didn't lose any distance at all with my irons. Putting... I don't know about. I'm not the greatest putter, but I felt on multiple occasions that the ball broke a bit later than I had anticipated... as in, the faster I put, the more direct the line stayed, regardless of the break, but as the ball slowed down, it would break much harder than I would read... very strange behavior from a ball on the green, but nothing that made me put any better or worse than normal. Overall, the fact is this: I played with 1 ball for an entire round. I usually give up 4 or 5 strokes to lost balls in a round, so if nothing else, using this ball made me that much better off to start. However, I'm not convinced that the 70 or so yards on average I lost on every single drive, is worth gaining those strokes back on the back end... There where a couple of holes that I should have had a chip to the green, that were out near 80 and 90yrds, and 2 par 5 holes that took every bit of 2 healthy fairway clubs to reach the green, instead of getting that nice 20yrd chip on the green in 3. You could argue that after losing a ball you have to hit the same shot again so you aren't really losing yardage... just cashing it in early... and while that makes a compelling argument, I feel like I would need to play many many rounds over the course of a year to determine if it really is worth losing the yardage. As my 3 star rating indicates, I have mixed feelings about playing this ball.
