On 2008-11-09, Mike of Hastings, NZ rated this Volvik Air Channel a 5...(8219)
Details: Pure white
Purchase: Here in NZ they were being sold at the Sale Price of NZD$20.00/USD$12.00 a dozen. Bought and played with Volvik golf balls before during buasiness trips to Korea and found them excellent value
Pros: Good distance off tee and maintained good flight pattern for all clubs
Cons: Nil
Quality: Durable cover and very good for both general play and putting. As I do not require spin and grip on the greens from the golf ball - these balls were ideal.
Review Summary: Outstanding value for money for golfers of all abilities
On 2002-11-05, MARK W. rated this Volvik Air Channel a 4...(755)
Purchase: PURCHASED IN-STORE AT GOLF CLEARNCE CENTER IN LEESBURG, FL FOR $15.00/DOZ. (THEY HAVE A $5.00 DISCOUNT ON ALL 12-15 BALL BOXES REGARDLESS OF BRAND). I BOUGHT THE AIR CHANNELS BECAUSE THEY ADVERTISED TECHNOLOGY THAT REDUCES SLICES.
Pros: I'VE TRIED MANY TYPES OF BALLS FROM LOW-PRICED "NO NAMES", TO EVERY LOW COMPRESSION BALL MADE (LOCOS, LADDIES, LADIES, NOODLES, ET AL), TO TOP FLITE XL 3000 SUPER LONG/SUPER FEEL/AND SUPER STRAIGHT, TO "TOP SHELF" BRANDS LIKE TITLEIST AND STRATA TOUR ULTIMATE II. I READ AN ON-LINE REVIEW OF THESE BALLS, CHECKED THE VOLVIK WEB SITE, AND I HAD PREVIOUSLY HIT VOLVIK RAIDERS, GREEN 80'S, AND BLUE 90'S. I LIKE THE AIR CHANNELS BECAUSE (AS ADVERTISED) THEY DO SEEM TO FLY STRAIGHTER AND LONGER THAN THE OTHER BALLS I HAVE TRIED, THEY ARE VERY DURABLE, AND THEY ARE RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE.
Cons: NO NEGATIVES FOR ME, BUT I'M A HIGH HANDICAPPER. A LOW HANDICAP GOLFER WOULD PROBABLY NOT LIKE THEIR FEEL AROUND THE GREEN. IF YOU PLAY A "BUMP AND RUN" SHORT GAME THEY SHOULD WORK FOR YOU JUST FINE, BUT IF YOU'RE A "DROP AND STOP" CHIPPER YOU PROBABLY NEED TO LOOK ELSEWHERE. THESE BALLS DON'T HOLD THE GREEN AS WELL AS SOME OTHER MAKES/MODELS. HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR VERY LONG, STRAIGHT DRIVES AT A REASONABLE PRICE THESE BALLS WILL MOST LIKELY SERVE YOU BETTER THAN THE TITLEIST, NIKE, HOGAN, CALLAWAY, STRATA, AND OTHER HIGHER PRICED BALLS, MANY OF WHICH DON'T LIVE UP TO THEIR CLAIMS, ESP. FOR HIGHER HANDICAP GOLFERS.
Quality: THE AIR CHANNEL IS A TWO-PIECE BALL WITH 400+ DIMPLES, SOME OF WHICH ARE INTERCONNECTED (HENCE, THE AIR CHANNEL NAME)AND A COMPRESSION IN THE LOW-MID 90'S. IT IS THIS CONFIGURATION THAT CREATES THE AERODYNAMICS THAT HELP REDUCE SIDE-SPIN, RESULTING IN A STRAIGHTER BALL FLIGHT AND A LOWERED TENDENCY TO FADE/SLICE OR DRAW/HOOK. IT HAS A TOUGH, BRIGHT WHITE OUTER COVER THAT RESISTS SCUFFING EVEN ON CART PATH ENCOUNTERS.
Review Summary: THE VOLVIK AIR CHANNEL IS A GREAT COMPROMISE BALL, ESPECIALLY FOR MID TO HIGH HANDICAPPERS WHO WANT EXTRA DISTANCE ALONG WITH A REDUCTION IN SLICES AND HOOKS AT A REASONABLE PRICE.
