Polara Golf Self-Correcting Golf Balls – Soft Feel, Anti-Slice & Hook Correction, Exceeds USGA Limits, Dimple Pattern, High-Performance Balls for Men & Women – 1 Dozen

These balls go straight as an arrow. The only downside is that you must line up the ball on your next shots after hitting off the tee for them to keep working. I'm just playing for fun with friends, so it's no big deal, but it may annoy some playing partners to touch the ball.

Honesty, I can't say either they work or not. After a break of 12+ years and with inconsistent swings, my neighbor invited me out for a round of golf at our local par3 course. I dreaded to play since back then I had a terrible slice correcting it with a hook. A bad one as well! I didn't have a set of clubs and used my neighbors extra set he had. Bought a 12 pack of recycled 2 piece Callaways from the pro shop, teed up and off it went slicing right losing sight of it. Took a mulligan and hooked landing about 10 yards from the middle of the fairway. I'll take it! That round I lost 6 balls due to either a slice, hook or water hazard. Began going out more often with my neighbor that I ended up buying a set of used clubs. Taylormade RAC OS... Must've been the clubs since I fairly kept my shots playable in the fairway majority of the times playing with the leftover Callaways I had and losing 3 balls. But I still hooked or sliced. Just not as bad as 12 years ago. I wanted to improve my game just a tad more so I started looking around on the internet to help me. Read about the Wilson Ultra 500 Straight and the Polara bought a pack of both to try them out on our next round. After receiving them both I couldn't wait for my neighbor I HAD to go give them a try and played a solo game. First tee was the Wilson. Excellent feel from the face, ball flight, good trajectory and right down the middle of the fairway landing approximately 95 yards with a PW. Teed up the Polara aiming at the pin with arrows as stated on the sleeve and same height as the Wilson. Polara had excellent feel off the face. Trajectory was fairly low and had somewhat of a slice. Ball came to a stop approximately 85 yard and about 10 yards to the right of the middle of the fairway. Like I mentioned I have an inconsistent swing. So it's possible that my swing caused it. Wilson did great on the green. Good stopping power set up for my 3rd shot. With the Polara you can either play it as it lays or touch the ball and aim using the arrows. I played as it laid. I know the arrow marked on the ball wasn't aimed to the pin as you can see from the dimple arrangement. Polara also had good stopping power. Used a LW for both. Second hole... PAR 4... 233 yards... Wilson was first up. Teed up as normal with the middle of the ball to the crown of my driver. R580 10.5 degrees. Again, excellent feel... good trajectory and right down the middle of the fairway at 205 yards. I'm liking the Wilsons and my game is slamming so far! Next up is Polara... Teed high as its states... I'd say 1/4 of the bottom of the ball with the crown of my driver. Here goes nothing... Great feel... Again, low trajectory and little of a slice at 180 yards. Must've been my swing... No one was tailing me so I teed up another Polara same way. Aiming at the pin and height. What the 😳!!! Same results. I couldn't believe it so I teed up another... This flew somewhat straighter and trajectory was fairly higher. Came to a stop approximately 195 yards and 5 yards to the right of the middle of the fairway. So to make a long review short, they really don't do much for me. At the end of the round I had an equal results on both. At times the Wilsons would slice but still close to the middle of the fairway. Trajectory and distance was excellent at every hit, and good stopping power on the green. The Polara also was the same. So to be frank I can't give an honest review since they both performed quit the same with me although i did lose 2 Polars going into the water. I didn't lose any of the Wilsons. Gave 5 stars because they are still excellent. Don't expect these to fly perfectly straight and go where you want them to go. My game has definitely improved and I can FINALLY enjoy around or 2!

I took up golf lessons than a year ago and I’m still working on correcting a bad slice tendency. The course I play on has several holes that are narrow and lined with houses on both sides. A very anxiety inducing task to say the least. After putting a few regular balls into backyards and the street on the other side, I decided to try these so I wouldn’t give anyone an unwanted gift or damage anything. I must say, these do work as advertised! My shot goes right where I line up the arrows and I’m hitting fairways and greens! Before it was houses, trees, lakes and everything OB. It’s really helped my confidence! Are they impossible to hit poorly? No. I hit a terrible shot off the edge of the toe on my driver and sent it at a 45 degree angle into the bushes. But, if you hit it reasonably well, they do fly straight! I plan on using these balls until I straighten out my slice issues then go to a legal ball. I play with friends and family so I’m not cheating anyone. They know the ball I’m playing with, and I only use it on the narrow holes with homes. I’m really happy with this ball in situations where houses are close and no longer worry about having to go apologize for my lack of skill if my ball takes out a window or something on an unsuspecting homeowner’s property.

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.
