Well you guys were on a roll so I just let it play out. 😂 

For the record, I am old enough to know about the shaggin wagons but never rode in one myself. That's actually a throw carpet in my daughter's bedroom but I figured it would make for a nice contrast picture. It's so soft for her little toesies when she plays with her toys 😊 

But you can't spell it that way.  It's got to be Shaggin' Waggin' so that you're being hip.  If not, you sound like somebody's dad - completely square, man!

I always try to remember that I'm not good enough to get mad!

A stabbing cabin, a shagging wagon... LOL

Pretty much what I was thinking, but I kind of picture him as more of a Wizard holding a crystal ball and staff kind of guy.

A touch more compression 60... could be my go to.

I really liked the 2015 FG Tour Ball 70 compression.

The 2017 model was not on my nice list, just didn’t feel as good as the 2015 model, and the flight was different.

The Wilson golf balls of today are much better than they were... well, many years ago.  They just didn't hold up very well.   🤣

So I've played 2 rounds with these balls and lost 2 balls thus far.

The first was lost on an unfortunate duck hook on the 18th tee. I wanted to take a picture of the ball after finishing that hole to demonstrate durability. The second was lost hitting an atomic 4 iron over a layup position into the water. 

In lieu of pictures, please accept this description: the cover shows blemishes not affecting play. The matte finish seems to stain a little but cuts/tears/scuffs haven't shown up yet.  

I'm digging the feel. I like the action into/around the green. Explosive off the woods. And I'm LOVING the color. Not sure it'll still be as easy to find when the courses green up but they're grrrrreat now. 

I'm enjoying some distance too. I'd been playing the Snell Red (yellow) for a bit and didn't realize how much yardage they were losing. Chalked it up to weather at first but these Duo pros are making me think the Reds may be a bad fit for my SS. 

These greenies feel awesome off the putter too. I've got a lot of good things to say about them so here's hoping for continued success.

I played these the last four days and couldn’t agree more with your assessment of them. Really long for me and I hit 3 drives longer than my longest drive last year. Staining wasn’t bad but the course was very firm. Nothing a lick or two didn’t clean right up. I think I’ll stick with these for awhile.

Good example of a aged balata ball the windings are busted in and the core is trying to make a run for it or busting out. When we were kids we would find balls like that and put them in the direct sun and see how long it took them to "hatch" Hit one with a club and watch the funky flight it is hilarious. One time we played a match on our old par 3 course with a handful of those balls. You needed a handful  because they would bust open and we played it like it lied if you missed the green which was quite often you played it down. If it busted open you could drop another ball. Try to putt one you had to figure break plus ball roll and we were not touching anything on the greens either. Par on that course was 27 and I think I shot 47 or maybe 50 but it was a barrel of laughs.

On the original post I tried to add this but could not edit it---- But anyhow I messed around and putted one of those balls on the putting green. Liked the feel off of a blade style putter. I have not hit any of them yet even with a wedge. What caught me was the "Professional" name. A lot of the old schoolers remember the old Titleist Professional 90 which was a balata ball. Which IMHO was one of the greatest balls of all time only surpassed by the Maxfli HT-100 which was also balata again IMHO

Quick note after hitting some putts, and chips, pitches.

Feels great off the putter, a bit jumpy on chips, and mush on pitch shots. Afraid it might be a touch soft for my liking. Very soft feeling. I’ll do up a full review when I can actually put it through its paces.

Shanks, as a friendly heads up, if you decide these aren't for you, I'd be willing to take them off your hands.

Based on the comments here, I ran to DSG today to buy a doz. unfortunately not one box in the store - they mustn't have a retail agreement with them.
