agape MP5S MP5 VS3 White and Black DuraPlus Urethane Golf Balls, 5-Piece and 3-Piece Dual Core

Nice set of balls. They catch distance paired with a good drive.

It took me a while to get a couple rounds of golf in with these Agape MP5S White DuraPlus Urethane Golf Balls. It is winter time and the weather (and life) just weren't cooperating. But, this week there was a nice warm-up and I have had the opportunity to play these balls a couple of times. I am a 67 year old golfer who doesn't hit the ball as far as I once did. I am a 25 handicapper.My overall impression of this ball: not bad at all. At a price per ball of $3.33 ($40 for a dozen), these balls are $1.25 less per ball than a Titleist Pro V1 (my all-time favorite ball. I don't buy them because they are too expensive for my game but I love finding them on the golf course). I like saving money and, frankly, my game isn't worth the extra money that a Titleist commands. So, I was interested in this ball because of the 5 piece dual-core design and more affordable price. Would I notice the difference? Would this ball catapult off my irons any better (or about the same?). Would my score go down? Short answer: NO.Well, here's my personal experience and point of view: I don't feel that I hit these as well as a Pro V1. In fact, they played about the same as a Callaway Super Soft (my go-to ball for price vs. performance). If i caught this ball in the sweet spot of my club it felt like butter. But I didn't notice any appreciable difference in distance or spin around the greens.Durability: again, not bad at all. These seemed to scuff a bit less than other balls I played, but one of the balls also displayed a little "fraying/cut" of the cover by the end of the round. I expected a bit more durability after one round. But your results may vary.Spin: could I get these balls to check up quickly on the green? I didn't notice any difference vs the other name brand balls I have played.Putting: they felt fine and I appreciated the putting alignment arrow on the ball (now, if I could only consistently putt in the same direction as the arrow).The bottom line: if you hit these in the sweet spot of your clubs you will like them. Overall, this was a nice enough ball and it will save you some money over some of the higher priced options available. Give them a try.

I got these for my son as a gift and he really liked them. He said they work really well and are nice quality golf balls. They perform very well.

I thought I would give these golf balls a try just to see what it would be like using a black golf ball. They have been great on the course so far and are quite comparable to tp5's.

I read 3 piece and thought it would be a package of 3 golf balls like a normal box. Nope. Comes with 2. So I have to be very careful when and where I hit these. I honestly don't see a difference in distance, but as all golfers know, perhaps it's just the way I'm hitting it and just really need to connect. I was disappointed there were only 2 balls.

These balls are on the firm side, which I like. Not hard, but firmer than a Pro V1. I started by putting and chipping with it. It behaves like a tour caliber ball. I decided to play the black ball first. I was not sure why they made a black golf ball, but I was able to see why on the very first tee. I have trouble following golf balls in the air. I lose them against the sky. I could clearly see this ball against the sky and could follow it all the way to the ground. Could not see it after that. It was also kind of a muddy day, so it wasn't super easy to see on the ground until you got close to it. I liked the visibility in the air so well, I would consider playing a black ball, but it would be better to reserve those for days when the ground is dry. Unfortunately, I hit the ball deep into the woods on the 4th hole, so it was gone. I played the white ball later in the round. I hit the first shot with it on a par 3 with a sand wedge that is only a few weeks old. It made a small scuff on the cover, so I would say they may not be any more durable than other balls. I am not a great player, but I do normally play tour level balls. This wouldn't be my favorite of those, but I have a few favorites and the others I still like. This would fit in that group. Nothing wrong with the ball, it is just personal preference. In the end, these are a solid tour caliber ball. They were made in a factory in Taiwan that makes several well-known brands of balls. I don't know if pricing could cause issues just because the brand is not well known, but the ball is decent. If you have trouble seeing the ball in the air, try the black ones.

I was very pleasantly surprised by these golf balls. I have used on to finish one round and then play another 18 holes. Even with the occasional visit to a gravel cart path, the surface of the ball looks new. Playing golf in cold weather (45 degrees) I usually use Maxfli Noodles, which are cheap and easier to hit in the cold. During serious golf, I use Titleist Velocity golf balls.These balls were closer to the Titleists in performance. They flew long and straight. Distance control was easy, and you could work them both ways. I did hit one major slice, but the rest of the time I found the went straight when I wanted, and cut or drew when that was called for. I would have no hesitation using these in competition.

Evaluating golf balls is difficult for me, especially when it comes to durability. I tend to lose them before I wear them out! But if there's anything I noticed about these is that off the tee, I hit them straighter. I assume that's a spin thing. And if I'm hitting them down the fairway, distance doesn't matter so much (although, I think I drove them farther because of hitting the fairways). And I don't lose as many :-). Around the greens, I chipped and pitched them as I would a higher-cost golf ball. I'm still trying to break 90, so take this review with a grain of salt. And I have found less expensive golf balls on Amazon that work better for me (see the Wilson Profiles for example). All-in-all, a good golf ball that I would buy before a Titleist for my handicap.
