gualandi99 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Has anyone else played any of these balls, I bought them on a whim looking to try and find a more affordable option to the premium golf ball market. Specifically I purchased the Bison X which is designed for swing speeds of 95-105mph when they arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the look they have a pearlescent coating on them similar to many Japanese golf balls. I play weekly so first time out the performance was also better than expected they performed equally as well as my Srixon XV or even a Titleist ProV1x. I have bought other so called performance balls online but these were much more durable and the cover remained In tact which is always the issue that I run into with balls. I would out these balls on a level with the premium ball brands in the market, I did not lose performance at all, they are durable but have great feel. They fly as far as th ProV1x, spin level is similar and durability is definitely there a great ball at 1/2 the price of the Titleist offering. In any event I hope to see mygolfspy test them at some point to see where they truly stack up in the ball lab.

Lee Carter Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hi all I have been using the Trust Aurora ball for a little over 12 months now the previous ball i played was Pro V1x and straight away i seen a difference. It was longer and straighter of the tee which is a massive bonus but i was very surprised on how good it felt on and around the green very soft feel an very easy to play and stop. Overall its the number 1 ball for me GregGarner and gualandi99 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieGolfer85 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Personally play these and have for a while Go between the Aurora and bison xl depending on conditions on course and the weather/temperature. honestly can’t fault them, great performance and durability and excellent price. Not to mention the support trust golf balls have to the 4asd kids golf charity day In dozens of balls and also cap for each player. Also they helped with some other prizes for USA all abilities charity golf day. give the balls a go, they are fantastic value and a company that really helps out and supports great causes :) GregGarner, mbrodeur86 and gualandi99 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgolf Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Yes I have and do play trust golf balls!! I changed from pro v’s to them and will never go back!!! They are long off the tee and I find them incredibly predictable which I love!! I love the spin around the greens and I find them very easy to shape on approach shots! Oh another thing is if your anything like me and have to go looking for you ball from time to time... They are super easy to find they sand out so well!! I would 100% recommend them to anyone!! Enjoy them!! Edited November 9, 2022 by Dadgolf gualandi99, GregGarner and mbrodeur86 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Miami, FL I had a load of different cheaper type balls in my searches on eBay, including Trust. Others included Vice, Snell, Seed, Cut, On Core and Pokra to name a few that I'm aware of. I've not tried all of them, but I did find a Kirkland Signature that someone had lost in the bushes. It was virtually new and looked as though the only time it had been hit was the once that sent it to where I found it! I tried it out over 9 holes back at base and I was so sold on it, I bought several dozen. I normally use ProV1, but they are getting extremely expensive at around £4.50/ball, (do your own currency conversions). The Kirkland is retailing out from Costco at about £1.50/ball. You do lose a little distance off the drive, but not that much you would notice. Round the greens they perform exactly the same. I don'y know about the ProV1X, I've never used them. It's a no brainer! gualandi99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in part why we see more people come to the forum and engage in this topic as well as others that may seem odd. However nothing fishy going on here, simiply new or returning members who have experience with the ball or topic wanting to post. Moving forward I will have the newsletter posted on the forum as well so hopefully some of this confusion doesn't continue to happen. cnosil and gualandi99 2 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

golfmule Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I don't know if you've tried them but if you haven't, try the Spaulding SD Tour X. I bought a dozen of these and a couple dozen of the Maxfli Tour X this past summer and really liked both of them. What surprised me most was that the less expensive ball, the Spaulding SD Tour X gave me the best performance of any ball I've tried. They're longer than anything I've hit and around the green they seem to be as good as pro V1X's for me. The only detractor for me is that I'd like them to be a brighter white color. They're white but a not very bright white. If they were a little brighter I'd likely play them exclusively. For only $22 per dozen they're a great value. gualandi99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoRebound Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Yes, I played two of them last month looking for something other than a ProV1 to lose in a pile of leaves. One of the Bison X was obviously suffering from a concentricity problem because it wobbled almost comically off-line on a relatively easy putt. I was forced to take it out of play after a hole. The second ball was slightly better but was easily 20 yards shorter off the tee than a ProV1. Mid irons were easily losing half a club. My buddy who bought the dozen (15 handicap) shot his worst round of the year with them. Lost a total of 5 in a round on shots that he normally handles with ease. He remarked he'd never use then again and I haven't seen them in his bag since. Don't waste your money. These are right down there with refurbished balls. singleta 1 Quote Driver; Callaway RAZR Fit Fairway and hybrids: Callaway X2 Pro Irons: Mizuno JPX 825 Wedges: Mizuno JPX 825 Pro Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Cack_Handed_Golfer Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I am a regular user of trust, have been used them for the vast majority of the season and now winter. I used the Aurora and now Bison in the winter. The balls are fantastic and perform greatly. I have won 4 comps this year using Trust. If your looking for a change from the big brands and save some money then get on to trust.
