Purchase: i loved this golf ball. It has unbelievable spin and distance, I hit a drive 210yds with my 7 wood (im 12 years old). The approach that i played after a slightly hooked fairway wood, was the most unbelievable shot ever, i hit 56 degree wedge, 55 yds out and it took one bounce and stopped 2 feet to the pin. I tapped in for par. The price on this ball was 14$ for a sleeve of 3. Pricey.
Pros: i loved the spin it would check up rite away if not spin back. great distance
Cons: just the price and no durability.
Quality: 4-piece ball, syrlin cover Review Summary: not much just if you buy them try to do it in the cases of 12 cuz it is cheaper.

Purchase: I bought a doezen of these golf balls for about $40 at golfsmith. Before using these, i was about a 14 handicap, and since switching, i lowered it to a 12. I was looking for a top-of-the-line ball that would give me more control and a bit higher trajectory.
Pros: I love this ball. I've tried many different kinds of balls, including titleist nxt tours, pro v1s, callaway hx red, hx tour, maxfli noodles (which i am not very fond of), and plenty of nikes. Now, i've only tryed the balls listed by buying single sleeves, of finding them in tall-grass areas, i dont go out buying a doezen balls just becasue they look nice. I finally thought i should give top flite a try. I never liked them before because i cant seem to ever put any spin on them. When i tried the tour ace for the first time, off the driver, WHAM! It was huge. This ball flies like an arrow, and has the perfect feel off of any club. It's a little firmer than a nike one, but not noticeably. I like a bit firmer ball anyway. When i took out the 8-iron (first low-iron shot), and hit this ball pin-high, it stuck. And, i mean, i could have landed it in its own divot if i have any more spin. I've been able to control this ball so well out of any situation. I could punch and roll it, and i can even draw/fade it a little around trees/hills. I thought it was cool when i played a fade 5-wood aroud a tree to hit it on the fringe. The ball doesnt require a specific swing speed, nor does it need to be hit solid. If you dont shank it, it will be such a perfect shot, you'll forget that you cant spin and control it like the pros. Trajectory is perfect. No thin/ ballooned shots in a long time. I can now say that i have a consistent trajectory This is the first box of nice, non-wound golf balls, and i think i've made a very good investment.
Cons: nothing to dislike, unless you absolutely adore soft balls.
Quality: Quality is supreme. I dont exactly treat my golf balls like they belong in a trophy case. The first tour ace i had was the only ball i used for the entire round, and i bouce it along the cart path while walking in between tees. That same ball is still bright white and has no scratches after about 6 rounds of play. Review Summary: Switch, lower your scores. I love this ball's feel, control, and spin rate. The distance is above average, but i might hit a pro v1 about 2 yards farther, so no big loss there. Actually, it hits farther than anything i've hit, but i know there are more balls out there that hit farther. The bottom line is, this ball can practically be mind-controlled. You wont find a better control ball out there. On 2003-07-28, John Giles rated this Strata Tour Ace a 5...(1907)
Purchase: I purchased a 12 pack of Strata Tour Ace golf balls for $39.99 at Target in Yuma, AZ. I am a loyal Strata Tour Professional user and noticed a new line of balls released by Strata meant to replace the tour professional. I first used the Titleist Pro V1 and had a hard time keeping the ball on its intended flight path. When working the ball either right to left or left to right the pro v1 usually played 5-10 yards further than the intended target.
Knowing Strata reputation for great balls and having success with the Tour professional I decided to use the Tour Ace.
Pros: The tour ace was true to Strata's rep. The flight path was true and I am able to control the shot no matter how I choose to attack a pin. Putting the ball proved to be equally as pleasing. The line was kept all the way to the hole and never droped.
Cons: I would like to see the ball with a little tougher cover.
Quality: Overall make-up is great. I expect Strata to have a great product and they allways provide it. Great balance, great feel, and striking the ball you can feel whether the shot was on or off the club face properly. Review Summary: Great ball at a great price. For a player like myself who doesn't need the extra push for distance and really needs to control his ball, this is the one. On 2003-06-22, Keith P. Howe rated this Strata Tour Ace a 5...(1592)
Purchase: i PURCHASED THESE AT NEVADA BOBS IN NAPA CA. FOR 31.99
Pros: SUPER SOFT FEEL EXCELENT SPIN WICH ENABLED ME TO GO RIGHT AT THE PIN. DID NOT ANY LOSS OF DISTANCE COMPARED TO THE PRO V1X WHICH I WAS USING PREVIOUSLEY.GOLF DIGEST STATES ONE HOP AND STOP CONTROL AND THEY WERE RIGHT ON.
Cons: WHICH THEY WERE CHEAPER AND SCUFFS A BIT
Quality: SCUFFS A BIT BUT THATS WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A SOFT BALL. Review Summary: LOVED IT HIT AN 82 THIS MORNING AT CHARDONNAY IN NAPA, WHICH IS ABOUT 2 OR 3 STROKES LOWER THAN MY NORMAL SCORE. On 2003-03-11, Jim rated this Strata Tour Ace a 5...(1009)
Purchase: I purchased a dozen of these balls for $38.99 at Edwin Watts in Corpus Christi, Tx.
I used to play the Strata Tour Professional 90 compression balls but switched to the Titleist PROV1 when the Strata Tour Professional was "improved". I wanted to see if the Tour Ace was better than Strata's Tour Ultimate I, II, and + all of which I tried and didn't like.
I am looking for a replacement for the PROV1 because for some reason I can't seem to get it to stop as quickly as I like off short iron shots.
Pros: I really like the way this ball tracks when putted. It seems to hold the line that I start it on better than any other ball I have tried and doesn't "fall off" at the end of the putt. I like that.
Off the tee I got TREMENDOUS length. I can honestly say that I hit this ball an average of 30 yards farther off the tee than the PROV1. It holds its trajectory and line in the wind off long and short irons.
I would have to say that its stopping ability off short irons was fantastic. In the rounds that I have played with this ball, I had a lot more driver/wedge par 4's than I have in the past. It really did help me to lower my score.
Cons: The ball feels a bit harder than the old Strata Tour Professional 90's. It seems to me to be a little harder than the PROV1 and way harder than the Nike Tour Accuracy and the Maxfli M3.
Quality: It is a very durable ball. I would grade the quality as grade A. Review Summary: The company advertises "staggering distance" and "one-hop and stop" control. ALL TRUE!
Bottom line is a great ball for a good price if you don't mind a bit harder feel.
