Cant Believe the Difference!!, April 25, 2010

I had tried out callaway balls before, and knew I liked them, but had not settled on one type till recently. At [...] i took the survey of “which ball should i use?”. It recommended to me the callaway diablo as the ball for my playing style. I was skeptical, but found the money for a pack and tried one out. Never before have I ever noticed such a huge difference in the way a ball performs! It wasnt the way i was playing, having played with a different ball the night before. Everything the box says, was happening. Definetitly got longer shots and more fairways, stuck the greens more and enjoyed a softer feel with my wedges and putter. The only problem is they come in a twelve pack, they work so well i only need one!

Low- handicap should give a try, January 29, 2011

Im a 6 handicap and used the ball in winter conditions.

Overview:

- Very good distance w/ tee shot

- Above average spin with 8 iron through 6 iron

- Easy to roll, I liked the way the ball came off the putter

- Held line well on approach shots in windy conditions

- only disadvantage, around greens and in bunker will not get spin like ProV1 or mulit-layer ball.

Superb ball for price. In normal conditions (Temp 70-85) would probably go with higher spin ball.

nice off the tee but hard to control, August 20, 2010

These balls are GREAT off the tee. These things can easily add 10-15 yards to your drive. If you make contact with these little guys they will FLY. Which is a good and bad thing: good because of the yardage and bad because of the lack of control and forgiveness. If these are hit slightly off center they will zip right into the woods. I would describe these much like a Ferrari – great speed but a little bend in the road and you’re out of control. This is especially true when chipping onto the green. Great energy but often over shoots. As another review commented, these will also shoot pretty hot on the green. And by hot will explode off the putter. You sometimes have to scale back your stroke at bit to chip to the green, or really dig into the ground.

I don’t want to come across as though these deserve 2 stars, I actually do like them a lot. One thing worth noting is how they don’t feel like a regular 2 ply where it feels like the ball is make out of Plexiglas. They do…

Great for the Price, Good Ball for Mid Handicappers, October 30, 2009

I’ve been using the Callaway Warbird golf ball since they came on a yellow box and with the Callaway sign also in yellow, without regrets. This new design is the same quality with updated attributes and a modern look. These little balls can fly and feel great all around the golf course if you’re are not a professional golfer or a low handicapper, as I understand spin is not that good and being double core some very fast swingers will lose some advantage. But if you are a casual golfer and want a great ball that don’t make you cry when you lose it into the woods or drop it into the water, these are the balls for you

I would say these are the best balls on its category

Warbird speed, January 31, 2011

The Warbird is a great ball providing lots of distance off any club. Care however has to be taken on its use as the benefits of this ball are better off for wet or slow courses.

The current course I play on is bone dry. The Warbird gets great distance and lots of run. However the short chip shots see the Warbird rolling way off the green even when pitched at the front of the green. Bone dry, rock hard greens dont help mind you. If the green had a bit of grab the Warbird would be ideal. I will have to wait for winter and use it again then.

These will shorten the course for you, November 20, 2011

I am actually reviewing the newer 3 piece warbird. this ball is long off the driver and will allow you to also take 1 club less than you usually use. I often play Taylormade Penta, my normal 8 iron distance is 150, but with these, I can do down to the 9. There is a significant advantage to be able to use a short iron when you would ordinarily use a mid iron. I do think the addition of 3 layer construction helps playability around the green, although it is almost winter her in the Pacific North West and the greens are very receptive. These are definitely worth a try, if for nothing else than during the cooler months they will allow you to use the same iron for approach shots that you use in the summer with a “better” ball.
