Trust Golf Balls

[Jaygord]

Anyone ever try Trust bison golf balls?

https://www.kerichem.com/

They make 4 different balls for different swing speeds and they are all Urethane covers.

Curious about them, I inquired about a variety pack consisting of 3 balls of each model to try, waiting to hear back from them

Appears they are perhaps a chinese (Asian) company of some kind. Nothing necessarily suspicious just saying. The initial give-a-way was some of the awkward wording on their website. Do they actually manufacture the ball? Hard to say/tell. Does that matter? Not really. Are they any good? Couldn't say. Would I play one. I suppose so. But, I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase them. Interesting that they advertise 4 different balls. All the same price.

They definitely appear to be Chinese/Taiwanese

USGA conforming list says Taiwan.  Wondering if they manufacture their own, or do they use one of the Asian ball makers.  I wish the USGA list told you who actually does the manufacturing.

The verbiage on the web site is pretty awful.

I ended up buying a box off Amazon for $25 with an old gift card. I purchased the Bison X for 100-110mph swing speed.

***Let's talk about the Feel*** 

Advertised as "medium" firmness but man these things felt firm. Audible click with all clubs. I didn't mind it so much with the driver, irons and wedges but it really bothered me with putting. I play a Evnroll ER8 and it didn't have the buttery soft feel I'm used to.

***Let's talk about the Cover***

The cover feels hard in hand. If you look closely at it, the cover almost looks like it sparkles. I had a good round today and played only 1 ball through all 18. Durability was decent, no complaints about cover durability from me.

***Let's talk about performance***

Ball flight seemed a tad higher than I usually have but not crazy, out of the norm high.

The ball grabbed and checked up on the greens on full approach and chips way better than I expected them to, especially considering how they feel. I actually kept coming up short because they just felt like they would roll out more than other balls but that wasn't the case. Once I started to trust they wouldn't excessively roll out, I started to get much closer to the pin.

I feel like they may be a shorter, like 5 yards shorter across all clubs but I kept all balls in play so I'll take it.

I could shape them with no issues. I like to play a fade with the driver and draw with my irons and wedges and that was the shape I had all day. They may have actually played straighter than usual but that could have just been a good day swinging. Didn't have any unexpected offline shots to make me think quality control is a big issue.

Overall if I could get over the feel when putting I could game these. Maybe I'll try the softer model next and see how they play and feel
